@ paleksic (The Big Man)

Calm down, I don't make nothing here, this is just my suggestion.
My opinion is that separate forums are better, and as I say.

This become ridicolous in just 12 hours from my first post here... Seems like I will stick to http://www.gentoo-srbija.org/ and original gentoo forums.

If both groups will regularly check out their neighbours' forum, why not make it a joint one?

I am yet another user that absolutely will not check either of the two forums if they are created as separate; as a future English teacher, I have no trouble looking for advice (or giving it, should it come to that) in English.
However, if people here cannot refrain from such childish behaviour, I most certainly can refrain from dealing with them.

So if you want separate forums, go right ahead; I am quite certain you'll get on just fine without me.
Instead of gathering as much people as possible - regardless of nationality - so that the new forum could get up-and-running with as many users as possible, you squabble about trifles.
Serves you right if the forum(s) never open.

Za one koji ne razumiju engleski:
Ako æe obje grupe redovito posjeæivati forum svojih susjeda, za¹to uopæe stvarati odvojene forume?

Ja sam jo¹ jedan korisnik koji ni u kojem sluèaju neæe posjeæivati niti jedan od dvaju foruma ako ih se takvima stvori; kao buduæem profesoru engleskog mi taj jezik nimalo ne smeta.
Ipak, ako se ljudi ovdje ne mogu suzdr¾ati od djetinjastog pona¹anja, ja se mogu suzdr¾ati od komunikacije s njima.

Dakle, ¾elite li odvojene forume, samo dajte; siguran sam da æete se snaæi i bez mene.
Umjesto da sakupite ¹to vi¹e potencijalnih korisnika, neovisno o narodnosti, tako da ¹to prije pokrenemo forum sa ¹to veæim brojem korisnika, prepucavate se oko pizdarija.
Pravo vam budi ako se forum(i) nikad ne otvori/e.

Look guys, these forums are meant as a resource for Gentoo users. The only purpose here is sharing knowledge with other gentoo users. Anything else you can take elsewhere. If you feel you can't seperate your nationality from being a gentoo user, then you need to find a place somewhere else on the internet.

The "international" forums exist because not everybody is comfortable with english, not because of any need to comfort hurt nationalist feelings or to promote them.

If two (or more) groups speak basically the same language people can share knowledge using that one language. So there is no need to create more national forums if the purpose is just sharing knowledge. If you can't live with that you are obviously not willing to get into the spirit of these forums. If you want to balkanize gentoo go find/create your own forums.

Conclusion: the chances of both a serbian and a croatian forum are slim to none. Get over it.

/me is tempted to suggest [FB] .....Friggin' Balkans :roll:

you can name it ex-yu, but many would flame such name. you can call it serbian-croatian forum, but many croats would start scremain' "why are serbians first in the name of the forum!". you can expect the same reactions if forum is named vice-versa.

anyway, initiative originated from users from serbia, so name serbian-croatian makes sense. whoever wanna join is welcomed. unless someone of bitchers mentioned in previous posts can't think of any politically and nationaly neutral name, they do not have to come.

[FB] sounds quite all right, I must say

I don't give a rat's ass about what some moron or other at forum.hr has to say; it is a large forum and morons are plentiful.
What really matters is how we who come here choose to name it.
That is, if any of us still have anything to say about it...
I'd like to know what's the current status of $NAME and $IDEA so as to remove my vote if necessary - I wouldn't vote for an Albanian forum as it is none of my business, so I wouldn't want my vote to count if I rules change in mid-game.

The Ex-Yu name may get flamed as much as any other, but it is still most neutral IMO - the flames that may come will come from either side

Besides, that's what moderators are for - put up one announcement explaining the name and purge any flames that start about it.

I actually agee with cp_tar: there should be Serbian-Croatian forum because people talk similar languages and it is easy to understand each other.

Ex-YU and YU is not good name IMO because Slovenian's and Macedonians hardly understand Serbian and Croatian language. But there will always be someone from Montenegro and Bosnia (or from Croatia for Croatian-Serbian name) who will want name change so... I'm not that smart :mrgreen:

I'm from Serbia, but I agree with cp_tar.

Forum moze biti samo kvalitetniji sa vise korisnika.

Came across this thread whilst searching for something else and although I wouldn't strictly "use" the forum in a participatory sense, I would like to see it happen as i'm trying to learn Serbian (and doing so rather badly :lol:

) at the moment and anything that gives me an opportunity to sit with a dictionary looking up words whilst at the same time providing interest (i:e Gentoo) is a benefit to me.

and btw...politics? otw

Hi everyone,

I stumbled across this thread purely by accident, so I've decided to give you my two cents worth. Now I started reading the post from the very beginning and got sick of it half way through. There is undeniable evidence that this Serbian, Croatian EX-YU debate is causing a problem. The post is already 3 pages long and I think it is going in circles. It doesn't go for no reason: "Nedaj Boze da se Srbi sloze".

Just to let you all know that I am willing to help out in the forums, no matter what you decide to call it. After all it is going to serve the same purpose. Once everyone gets a chance to share their opinion and propose a debate, we can get started.

As you can all tell I live in Sydney Australia. I have been using Linux for the last 6 years and Gentoo for the past 3. I study Computer Engineering at the University of New South Wales. I have some experience in installing Linux on the x86 and amd64 architectures. I have and still do hit on many problems, but rarely anything that cant be resolved within the gentoo community.

So hope to see you guys around, and pm me if any direct help is needed. (Always happy to help)!

Zoran
