I know Regios has some dedicated translator, but how difficult is it? does it need a forum?
On the other hand, looking at the Aru Index thread, there is alot to be discussed, characters, specific chapters, but unlike Aru the Translatino is at a more sedated pace....
hmmm...
Though i do read quite a number of novels, Regios is not on my list... perhaps the translator or readers of the official texts could point out the need for it? And should the need truly arises for both, then we can make forums for them both?
As mentioned earlier, the forums are more used by the translators than readers, unless this trend changes, perhaps forums should be made based off needs, rather than popularity. I believe some of the readers that do read B-T may not even know that these forums exist. So perhaps it should be based off firstly, number of translators(maybe editors as well), and the difficulty. Since if there is only 1 translator, there is not much need for discussion, be it over who to translate which chapter, or what should be inputted as the translated text. However, if there are a few, and some more proficient than others, and perhaps for common terms etc, a need for a place for them to discuss and label these issues clearly would arise. thus the reason for forums. For example, some of the forums are quite dead now, which isnt something we really want i am sure(example, SnS, SnS, SnS, maybe KnS as well... SnS killed its translators, KnS basically has me working on it only, and i am a little tied to school recently... projects, damn!!)
Perhaps these can go into consideration before deciding on which projects get forums?
