of course not but if posts are in hindi or english it does not matter

That's what I am saying HB it matters for people who dont understand Hindi just like it would matter to you if I post in Malayalam, it does not matter to you if its posted in Hindi because you understand it but for people who dont understand Hindi, it will be like how it is for you if I post in Malayalam.

what we all here are saying is quite simple if no one is still getting it
Forum activity is less because most of the posts are in Hindi, make an effort to post in English if you want the rank to go up. dont complain when the ranking go down for this very reason. just increasing topics is not going to help here

This is a suggestion if the members prefer this one, because I see no end to this debate.

Since most forums in India Forums use English as their communicating language, till date this problem has not arisen. Also, it remains true that this being a Hindi show, it is being assumed that most people understand Hindi.
Now, uniquely, both these facts are not holding true for this forum and hence this problem.

There can be a mid way out.
I know that members are having problems in reading Hindi. And I also know for a fact that many on this forum are not able to write in English and it would be wrong for me to stop either group to stop posting.


So here goes,

People who write in Hindi, and are not able to write in English

Put in the heading itself, indicating that the post is in Hindi. Something like HIN...


Also, if you really want readers to your posts, try and post in English and if you cannot...at least write COMPLETE words...because even Hindi is not readable when it is written in SMS langauge...let that language be used in SMS...For your friends and forum fellow members, atleast try to complete your word.
For ex. That is written as dat...which is very difficult to read when the whole post is like that.


Dont turn every thread into a chat thread because even if the post is in English, the members start chatting in Hindi and then everything is a chat thread. Use the chat thread. It is haunted!!!


Try these few things and see if they work...Suggestions ofcourse invited :)
