So?
Just because one mod (maybe more) speaks the language doesn't mean everyone else does.

Just have everything in english it makes things easier for everyone and it's in the rules

I don't know what you really mean, but if you want to have a thread where all the Dutch people gather and can speak Dutch and discuss things, you can't.
It's against the rules to talk any other language than English on GBAtemp, so we can't speak Dutch.

And if you think you just want a topic where we can discuss Dutch politics or other serious matters, it's not going to happen. Sorry mate but such things will just fail on here.
Since when does Holland have interesting politics?

And nobody wants to see dutch... its a horrid language lol
No, German is a horrid language (it's sounds so *urgh*, and we have to learn it at school (>_

There has been a Dutch topic once, but it was closed.
I'm probably the only Mod who would understand it anyway

There's loads of great Dutch forums though.

What about personal blogs?


Same applies. There are certain rules that apply for all areas of the forum.

Unless you're referring to another thread it's still open.

The whole point of having multiple moderators is to ensure that the forum can be checked upon by as many people as possible at any one time. It wouldn't be possible for one moderator to check on the thread 24/7. Also, as others have mentioned - why stop with a dutch thread? How about the Spanish/Italian/German/Japanese/etc. speakers out there?
