I think a French forum would be nice.
"forum francais pour F-Zero" "discuter de F-Zero en francais"
what do you think Greg, Fred... ?
I think Japanese and French are the worst people at English. that's why.
Dave, I mentioned the japanese forum as soon as I saw it but no reaction. once again, they're happy with their own... Maybe if we use it as a link between the 2 communities : fzc members asking questions in english, jap players answering in Japanese or the other way, and I translating  Anyway I'll find something to bring them here! (questions to the al-mighty J.Thai with translation for the dozens of diving techniques in Japanese...OMG).
GX will be decisive. Right now they all express the need for a ranking site, and if some (like the ones already registered) start competing using fzc, they'll get more and more interested and......
As for the title of the japanese forum, it seems perfect to me but I'll check it... tomorrow (mmmh today for you guys). need.........to....................sle...e....p

Yes, if they flood here for GX, Japanese membership for the other games will follow ... which is great, but I don't think we can ever FULLY solve the language issue. We are all more comfortable in our own "environment."
I suspect that even if they come here at the release of GX, eventually one of them will say "Hey, why don't we just create our own competition site ... I'm tired of competing at a site based in a language that is foreign to us." And could you blame them if they think that? Not really.
By the way, I think that MAX 2000 will be having GX rankings. It's just a matter of how successful it will be compared to ours. If the top players in Japan go there and NOT here, it'll be very tough to draw them here.
Interestingly, I think that the best way to get them to come here for GX is to beat their times!! Antoine and Greg, isn't that why you joined sugi's site ... to compete directly with the very best in the world in FZMV? They might get the same idea if we can take the GX WRs quickly. So race your hearts out, it's for the good of FZC!!
