Alright, Welcome to Asking the important questions..

Now, on this post i'll be asking about the topic of.

The boards: Why is NA the only region forced to use them?

Now, As a legit person from GD (Yes, the Trolls and Circle jerks and bla bla)

But that doesnt matter right now, except that they, HATE, the boards.

I mean they hate it, because it was FORCED, and yet only NA is being forced, while EUW, LAN and others still got their seperate forums away from the boards..

Why is that?

Why isnt it that we can suffer as a large team of people from the world?

I'm going on a high guess it has to do with language differences, but still...

Why?

:V I should probably get LAN/EUW smurfs levelled so I can use functional Forums instead of breaking Boards.

Boards haven't been moved to other regions because they're in Beta. There's still a lot of issues and development ongoing for them, and it's easier to do that on one board then port them over to the other regions than having to put the same change in 4-5 times for all the separate boards.

Forums are (unfortunately) dead. There's no more development or work going into them other than security requirements, and they'll be replaced eventually - it's just smarter and easier to trial one region, fix all the kinks/issues, then throw it over to the other regions.

Originally (before the old forums were closed down), Boards was only available in NA / accessible from English-speaking regions because the developers speak English. Not much use providing feedback if the devs can't understand what you're saying.

Moving all regions to Boards is one of their top priorities, and should be happening soon. I don't know the exact reasons why they chose to migrate NA early, but I'd guess it had to do with:

They already had NA Boards up and running.
NA was the only region where moderation tools were really needed.
