Hello,
I am a little concerned by the fact that the subtitles of the non-Lojban subforums say "In English please.". There exist several non-English Lojban communities (notably French and Japanese), and there should be a place for them to discuss Lojban in their native language.
I could see two options: 1) Allowing using natural languages other than English in the non-Lojban sections ; 2) Keeping the existing non-Lojban sections as English-only and creating specific sections for each natural language (those language sections would be created upon request).
I think the second option is a good idea, it's the way the forums of Lernu.net (a website dedicated to learning Esperanto) are organized.
I know of several people who would like to be allowed to have a place to discuss Lojban in French in this forum.
What option shall we choose?

I think option 2 would cause less frustration. If the french community, which I am happy to hear is interested in using this forum, prefers option 2, then it should be option 2.
With option 1 it can happen that a thread contains multiple different languages so that some people who don't speak all the languages will miss a lot of what's being said.

I agree. Having one section per language would be cleaner.
