Don't know on all the circumstances and such but whatever happens will likely kill this forum and site.
Going but Not, forgotten Can't help but think, you may be right, The Devil you know, springs to mind. @ Mr Dane, will you be writing a farewell note or will you just slip away, as another, of our Beloved friends did. Although he, is still, among his friends here. A welcome sight, on any day. Please, don't be a Stranger.
On the other hand, there has been little in the way of promoting or interest in the site for quite some time, maybe some new blood will bring new enthusiasm? Larry
Anything positive would be a good thing Larry. As a relative newbie I have to say that this board has been a very valuable tool for me. I've learned a lot from the great info that has been posted here. I have met some great people from this BB and I appreciate this site for that. As a newbie I don't know the Dane, but I'd like to thank him for providing the venue that made those things possible.
Well as a new idea maybe a few others like me wouldn't mind an area to try and find like minded foreigners who like traveling around (like motorcycle) in pairs or finding other buddy couples to be active with and by active I mean not sitting watching girls all day long while drink your daily 10 beers.
I would like to thank The Dane for his ownership and support he has had for this site. I've met people here that I hope will become friends as we come to live in the Duma area. I wish him well on whatever his next endeavor will be and continuing good health and happiness for him and his family. For the new owner, I hope that there will be an enthusiasm to promote the site with new and ongoing news, articles, a knowledge base for all expats regarding laws, rules, and policies that will affect us all as well as continuing camaraderie and lively debate and conversation between all the members.
Well assuming the Dane is a man (May not be) It was great fun while it lasted...Together they ( Rhoody included) kept a good ship. Yes there will always be differences, but on the whole it was and I hope it will continue to be, a good site. My good wishes to them both......JB
I would like to thank the Dane, Rhoody, Rechel and the Moderators. It was always been a great pleasure of having you at DI. You made a professional and fair decision making in the forum and also to those DI members who contributed a helpful inputs may we have a great and fun future discussions and more careful individuals. I thanked DI for having you as my friend in this online world. Welcome to the New owner i will behave the same like the past 2 years. :dnr:
Likewise, welcome mighty new owner and a farewell to the "Dane", it sure was an interesting time here and I hope it will stay the same... P.S. Mighty new owner, pls. don't change the colour theme, I really like Yellow and Orange...
