I think you guys have a good intention in mind, but you have this board all fucked up. Its information overload. You have broken it down as far as you can possibly go. Its so broken down you can't find anything.

Look at myself, I took a few month off this site, I came back to find a new board. HEY, thats great, something that works. But because it has features, you have to use them all. I can't find or use a damn thing here. I have been looking for the Thialand board for a week now. I just yesterday found a button at the top of the screen that brings you there.... I hunted and hunted.

Simple is good!!!!! Overload is bad!!!! You guys are way past overload. Sure it looks simple to you guys, the ones that set it up. What about the new guy? He doesn't have a clue. Hell I don't have a clue and I have an idea of the mentality here.

Make a decission, either you want more people here or you want the same people shooting the shit all the time. You can't have both. Granted, there are a few that will have the desire to keep reading and MAYBE figure it out. I can't figure it out so god bless the new-bie

Ohhh sure, there are 2000 members, but how many post? Did ya ever stop to think that people might sign up just to see what its all about? When they get here they are so lost, they leave. They don't get a chance to get involved.

OK, there is my 2 peso post.....

I still have no idea how to navigate this forum....I realise some people are trying to tell me how to do it, but it makes no sense.. Way too many moves. Like I said earlier. Lets get back to basics.

gdogg, I now see what you are refuring too. Thanks for that tid-bit . It will surely come in use.

My point is that without gdogg comming out and helping me, I would have had no idea how to do that. Sure, you guys say, "all ya have to do is ask" But the newbi has no idea.....this place is broken down into so many sections that it has become inpossible for the someone to find anything.

I know you guys don't understand what I am saying, you think its simple. But it isn't. Somtimes the more you break it down, the more difficult it becomes. Thats where this place is now.

ED has a point. I said a similar thing recently in the thread on the new VB Image Host (which is great). I hope my remarks did not come across as a criticism, because I think DT and JDR are doing a superb job with this board, but more as a suggestion for where our best energies should be directed for the time being:


... this whole board has moved up a couple of notches lately, with the new features and the superb reports and pictures flooding in. There is so much content now I think your best efforts should be concentrated on ways of improving the indexing and searching even more. I have noticed sometimes even expert and habitual users cannot access something they know is in the archives when they need it.

Overall though, the board is greatly improved in the few months since I have been a member, mainly because it no longer "freezes" and loading is much quicker despite vastly increased content and all the new features.

I agree with EL D.

The main page should have the countries listed. Having to find the Forum Navigation button to go there is impossible for newbie to find.

Everything should be on main page for newbie to find.

DT has done awesome job though so just constructive criticism.

The "forum navigation" on the tool bar is not a gimme. Most newbies will not know that there are 2 more pages. I am going to Barnes and Noble today and see if they have a Dummies book for the ISOC website.

i agree with jommy you have to log on everyday and shoot the breeze but i must agree also if you go on vacation or go to dr you really have a lot of catching up to do and its is mind blowing how much you miss when your away for a week - you have to pick and choose the post to read - (which is usually all of them because you dont want to miss out)but its def hard to come after a trip and play catch up lol

Don't be envious, GDogg. It will not be an eleven week sex orgy. I am too old and poor for that. I am hoping to have one pseudo-novia (either the same one for all eleven weeks, or different women in succession until I find the right one) to see if it is possible for me to maintain a steady but relatively sedate friendship with a younger woman without having to spend puta-type money on them each day. (And "younger" for me could be anything up to the low forties). Then also sample different girls maybe two or three times per week (not per day as you would require, or per hour as that beast Learningman would require). Plus lots of Spanish grammar, possibly some computer work for my client in England, and any odd jobs JDR puts my way. And just hope I can acclimatise to the heat. I quite expect to be unwell for a few days, but much longer than that and it could fuck up my trip altogether. But that is all part of the experiment.

I am very much looking forward to it, but "extravaganza" is not the right word. And I will be paying a heavy price in lost earnings and, more importantly, burning my bridges in the U.K. so it is a big gamble.

IMO this site is now better organized and faster than it has ever been - Jimmy and DT have done a great job.

Some members come here to shoot the breeze and keep in touch with their brothers in arms, others (like me) are more orientated towards actual mongering information and come here mostly to keep track of what’s going on in the DR and other countries, as well as exchanging ideas on different subjects of general interest for mongers (e.g. health, hunting techniques, hookers’ scams, WU suckers, emerging destinations, etc).

All of us benefit from the exchange of mongering intelligence and ideas, and even have some fun in the process.

I think the navigation of the forum is self-explanatory, any newbie could find his way around easily with a bit of work and dedication, but obviously they will have to make a minimum effort – this forum has been designed to have all info classified correctly in their respective sections, not to spoonfeed lazy newbies.
