Over 3,000 members???

Well, who would have believed this Number, I see only about 8/9 hardy members Posting here on a regular basis..

Come on you Guys and Gals, I can remember some years ago when we used to have Battles Royale, Shouting matches, some good and a lot bad but at least, we were all talking, Maybe not always to but at each other. Mostly all in good fun and it was like a TV Soap, all of us, waiting for tomorrows episode.

We have a new Administration, who, I feel, have worked Hard, came out and asked for help, they got the Help they needed, Well enough, to continue, SO, Come on Guys and Girls, Please, lets give them a Forum, that was worth all the Trouble, they went to.

I may be Outspoken at times and I have been Suspended, many times, in fact, my membership sometimes felt like, it was on Velcro but I was always there, ever ready, with Wit and Sarcasm when needed, to help and make/keep DI alive,
We have a new lease of life now, PLEASE, as my old C/O used to say about Leave, USE IT or you may LOSE IT. lets create many, new Threads, Post Plenty, Show Larry and Rony, that their efforts are appreciated. Many of you, now have a vested interest, so lets make the most, of what you, have invested in :D

For me, I will always be me and have no intention of Changing, Like me, or Hate me, I am here, popping up when least or with anticipated expectations.

Jack, I understand your plea. Given the large membership but the few allowed to view the thread for only those who gave money to the forum loan, and realizing the majority of sponsors have left this forum to another one, we need to know what must be done to keep this forum going. What now is the Dane’s position? It appears a new business plan is required.

 

Agreed , have a look at the front page , news 26 feb!!!!!!! and yeah I am a newcomer , but I invested quite a bit of money to help this site , and you know what I have tried to contribute a bit of humour in that section , and a bit of interest in other areas , and you know the ones that give a s%%t , because they have the courtesy to give a like every now and then , attitude is everything in business you just have to make sure it is the right attitude , and yeah I am well qualified to know that , successful and self employed for 28 years , Wrye I think your offer should be welcomed with open arms

I've been a member of the site for a little while, granted in the beginning I did not post much as I do not live in the Philippines yet and had mostly questions. I've always checked the site daily just to see what is going on and have always liked the site, even with the banter a year or so ago with folks getting twisted about posts. I always found it a great tool to see what was happening, and as an expat it is good to hear from both locals and fellow expats that have been living there for years.

I don't know what makes a forum great and another just "OK" but will agree with JP that the new owner's want to make this site work. I would have no clue how to do what they do and would not want to, but I do want to see it succeed as it has been very helpful to me to get info.

I've been posting quite a bit in the past couple months because I am building a house and I think a lot of folks can relate to that. I also have interests in gardening, self-sufficiency, fishing and woodworking.

I think a forum is about posting info that folks can use or even debate a bit. I think everyone should remember that the "expats", "foreigners" or "aliens" are in a similar boat either part-time, full-time or are planning to live in the Philippines and any knowledge and experience is useful.

I know I have appreciated many posts and responses over the years.
