Pluipocco advising to speak english only to chinese members
I forgot when and where, but I do here note that:

Here in China, we are taught English usually, if we don't choose another language in a college/university, our best choice is to learn English, and English is the most used in China as a foreign language. The second, third or fourth are respectively: German, Russian, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish.... and Spanish/Portuguese is used more and more since China's effort in exploring Latin America from the President Hu's Era.

Well, most Chinese who enter this forum must know English, so we talk in English, and of course between ourselves, that's Chinese enough, but your forum seems not support simplex and complex Chinese at the same time.

I agree that mostly here we should discuss in English, that does not exclude the possibilities of speaking other languages here, for example French the second most, Spanish, Italian and others, which should be specific sub-forums, and public forums should be in English, simply because it's an international language now.
