BuzzerBeater Forums

The Help-forums are not Country-related, but language related.

The Help-English Thread for example is used by UK as well as USA, and any other country or people talking English.

The BBs have set up a help-thread for every available language in BB.
This is because people who sign up using a certain language must be able to ask questions in that language without having to know other languages.

In many cases it looks like they are dedicated for a country, but that isn't the case.

Even though Aide-Francais will be full of Frenchmen, I'm sure French speaking Canadians, Belgians and others will drop by once in a while too, or will even be regular visitors...

Because my official Dutch isn't entirely what it should be, I decided to translate the site to Vlaams (this was even before the Dutch version was being made). Shortly after some people who where well lettered in Dutch started the Dutch translation and it was finished a few weeks after the Flemish version.

This is why there is a Vlaams and a Nederlands help forum, because both languages are available to users.

If someone from Wallonia feels a Wallonian version might be more suitable for French-talking Belgians (because of certain verbs and sayings for example), he/she can always suggest to translate the site, and this will result in a Wallonian help thread.

The national thread is so empty.

Like Tony Soprano would say: "We're the strong, silent type."

I already copied your links into a sticky in this forum (usefull info and links....)

you can post your manual in there.

If you prefer an other tittle for the topic, feel free to make suggestions. ;)

In France, many users complain because the U21 coach doesn't make analyses before and after the matches. Here when sum_41 make ones, nobody react.

now this is something typical you'll see returning everywhere.

when all is good, nobody says a thing, when they are not satisfied, they complaint.

With this knowledge, we can safely asume that as long as nobody complaints, everyone is happy. ;)

It's very hard to increase the popularity of NT/U21 teams. The communication about the NT/U21 is mainly done via the forums. A large part of the community doesn't even look at the forums of their country.

Belgium had a very unfortunate start, with bad coaches who turned bot etc etc. They missed a few seasons, and now it's very hard to catch up with the other countries.

Even in Holland, where we had great dedicated coaches since the start of the NTs, there is only a small part of our users that actively follows the NT/U21. This is because not all managers are watching the forums, and not all forum watchers are interested in the NT/U21.

Our U21 team is a serious contester for the EC title this season, after winning the consolation tournament last season. So I hope this will increase the popularity of the teams, but still it's hard.
