Merge the boards

Dear fellow summoners and Rioters,

I have been posting on NA lately, but I am a EUW player, I have had 2 topics which have reached the top of the boards as hot topics on NA, however on one topic I posted on EUW & NA simultaneously and it did nothing at all on EUW(0 comments 0 upvotes), while it became a very popular topic about the current DQ on NA.

This got me thinking, why do we have a split boards for NA and EUW? There is no language barrier like there may be with the Turkish or Russian boards. Double the fun, don't miss out on the great hot topics from either region's boards. And a fair chance to get your voice out and get recognition.

Maybe make a EUW & NA only section for region related talk, but what's the problem with merging the boards? Another alternative would be to leave the boards as they are but merge certain catergories, like champions & gameplay or offtopic etc..

I just think it's unfair many EUW players have their comments and feedback fall on deaf ears. I posted there quite a lot and I never really got my voice to be heard, so someone told me to go to NA and try there. So I did and it really made me feel a lot better about the community, because finally I felt people understood.

There would be a lot of conflicting information since they are managed by entirely different communities.

I wonder what you mean by that or how you think this conflict would look like?

NA and EU servers are managed separately, have different update cycles, different releases. EU servers could be down, NA is up, but NA is then flooded with EU down server complaint threads... and the community behaviors, from what I have seen are largely different.

Okay those seem like fair points, so let's take a look at my alternative possibility. Making several boards merge, like champions & gameplay and offtopic and some more.

Community programs and regional clients. For programs, take the Event Finder for example; NA is losing Riot funding for online-only tournaments, but this only affects NA. For the client, things like Hextech loot being active on one but not another region, or the servers being down. Team Recruitment would also be confusing.

Maybe you could merge the boards, but make everyone from Europe pledge allegience to the United States. http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/974/092/547.gif

Would be handy so I don't have to post the same topic in 2 different boards. I end up copy pasting them sometimes to make it easier or plain link one board to another.
