Do we need an EUW boards?

So, Riot has finally created a board that can be accessible by both NA and EUW players, and presumably EUNE and perhaps others as well, though I have yet to see any. There was little reason to split the GD and other boards between NA and EUW (and EUNE) to begin with. Should Riot bother making Boards for EUW, now that EUW players can post here anyway? Why not make this one the one and only boards, plus some boards for specific languages and some subforum for servers, where people can complain about server issues and what not.

What say you? Is there a need to split the forum activity in NA, EUW, EUNE, Oceania, etc, or should there just be one major board for the English speaking LoL-players?

My personal opinion is that all the regions that feasibly speak English should be able to combine on this platform. We would obviously need separate boards for region-specific issues like server problems, but for multi-language support there are a few options; these two are the most interesting to me:

Completely separate Boards platforms distinguished by language, switchable by an interface at the top. Content would not be translated or moved between platforms; they would each be their own ecosystem but linked by the language changer at the top.
The current English Boards as the core with a few specialized boards for different languages.

This ends up depending on the community sizes. If the Portugese-speaking population is large enough to inhabit their own entire platform, then awesome! If not, it might have to be a specific board within the English platform.

I don't honestly see an issue with keeping them together either, except for the instances that you mentioned (language specific boards, boards for specific server issues, etc.) I, for one, welcome our English overlords. Welcome, brother.

Since Reds most likely wouldn't look at the EUW boards (let alone EUNE) I just want them to stay merged.

As an EUNE player...

I like it here.

Here I'm not forgotten, only ignored.

It's an improvement.
