It had an edge ????
Lets be honest damo, it ain't exactly a site of cultural exchange, nor a place of high learning...
I have subscribed to this site for more years than i wish to remember, it is what it is, somewhere for those inexperienced in the ways of Bulgaria to collect information and most importantly, receive support in their decision to chose Bulgaria as a destination. It has i will agree gone a little of the boil regarding banter, but the same `ole' faces will appear out of the ...

I have subscribed to this site for more years than i wish to remember, it is what it is, somewhere for those inexperienced in the ways of Bulgaria to collect information and most importantly, receive support in their decision to chose Bulgaria as a destination. It has i will agree gone a little of the boil regarding banter, but the same `ole' faces will appear out of the woodwork as the snow arrives...
The decline in UK numbers visiting Bulgaria will obviously effect forum numbers, this is being reflected across all the popular forums, but the hardcore will continue, and the newbies will still turn up...
Aspects of the site still infuriate me, the commercial aspect especially... posting a link to assist an enquiry that is withdrawn without explanation, but this is how it works unfortunately, the site needs to maintain income from advertisers... The fact that we cannot upload pics or vids like virtually all the other forums... But... that's how it is, this was the first forum i subscribed to when i became interested in BG, im still here, still hopefully helping ???, and still in touch with the friends i have made through this forum... Nope, it never had an edge, there was never anyone sharp enough to provide one Wink

I always wondered...is this site managed or was created by the Brits for the Brits?

re: Has this forum lost it's edge?

Yes Bulgarian site but there are alot of english moderators on here as it was mainly english using the site.

I think as steve C says they should make some way of posting pic's and vids available as on other sites. PP was looking into this when they re-started the new forum but doesnt look like anything has been done as yet.

Your not out this season, Canski has re-morphed/re-mortgaged/re-married/sold apartment, but at least coming in Feb, and if i have anything to do with it, March as well... Wheres Kiwi ?? Banknote and Smallchange ?? (hopefully Phil and Lis can get it together for March).. Crazylady, Kamenitsa Stu, Val, Kim, etc etc... life goes on, and changes in your life occur, but it does seem we don't have those coming ...

Im not complaining, we had some awesome times, and made some awesome friends, perhaps as we are here its different for us, living the dream as such, who knows, one day a reunion ???
What a piss-up that would be Booze
