    12/2006 - About this Board....

    Lots of work was put into it by various different people (Thanks DT). I upgraded the server capacity a few times so it wouldn't be slow and it costs about $99.00 a month now up from $99 a year.

    I have various moderators that give more than they have to to keep this board going as smooth as it does.



    The purpose of this board is answer what ever questions pop up from time to time and for me to have a place to store my 1,000's of pictures of which many of you can see about 85% of them. Its a place for many of us to kill time between trips.


    There are maybe 10,000,000 boards out there to choose from. No one is forced to come here or to read all the posts that are written here, its up to you. Over the years maybe 7 out of 5,000 were banned from here. Not everyone belongs here, too bad.

    Many add their 2 cents to the board and we are grateful for the input. Of course there are the 2-3 people that are here to cause trouble and we can accept that.


    Many of us have met each other and usually we air our dirty laundry at the higher levels. The B o D was set up for those of us that know each other and rather share stuff within there as opposed to emailing 10 different people at the same time.


    This board may not ever be world class but I have met some of the finest people that I know here. I also had the honor of meeting some of the biggest assholes to walk this Earth and they are all banned at the moment.

    Re: About this Board....

    Well said, Jimmy...I for one truly appreciate the efforts of you and those who post here, especially the trip reports, hotel and restaurant reviews, and answers to questions of all sorts. It is the best "Mongering in DR - 101" course out there! And a great place/way to meet some great guys. And I guess it will soon be as valuable for Colombia and info on other countries as well...

    There should be no reason for animosity between boards or board members, other than personal conflicts, which are a way of life, but as for places to exchange information about the DR and other places, there's room for everyone!

    Again... Thanks Jimmy, This board was invaluable to me when I started visiting DR...and still is. We've crossed paths many, many times, but I don't think we've officially met, and I know we haven't shared a drink - although we certainly have shared many a chica! Hopefully we'll have that drink together one of these days...

    What my Euro brother said !!


    Wherever I May Roam

    And the road becomes my bride
    I have stripped of all but pride
    So in her I do confide
    And she keeps me satisfied
    Gives me all I need

    And with dust in throat I crave
    Only knowledge will I save
    To the game you stay a slave

    Roamer, wanderer
    Nomad, vagabond
    Call me what you will

    But I'll take my time anywhere
    Free to speak my mind anywhere
    And I'll redefine anywhere

    Anywhere I may roam
    Where I lay my head is home

    H.C.I.S.O.C.

    Re: About this Board....

    I own a small business. All day long, basically well meaning people tell me what I should do to make my business better. Open a store in place XXX, sell item YYY, do this, do that. The thing that 99.9% of these people have in common is that they have never taken the step to be their own boss and put themselves and their ideas on the line.

    Anyone can complain about this site. The effort involved is minimal. This place isn't perfect, but for me that is part of its charm. For a site of its nature, which is also free and wide open for membership, the level of drama is tiny. The folks who run the place should pay attention to well intentioned complaints, but posts that start 'why does this site suck' or something like that are just the work of shit stirrers, not an effort to improve things. Theyt don't warrant attention.

    Hey Jimmy ...Here's my 2 cents ( once again (LOL)) No need to write what what I have quoted above.

    Dude you have made your mark and nobody can ever take that away from you....And don't think that it goes unnoticed or unappreciated.

    I am going to take a leap here and say that I think I speak for everybody here when I say that you have accomplished something here that most ordinary people don't come close to matching.

    Remember this....we all want the same thing......the board to prosper, ......flourish .....and survive..... We may just disagree sometimes on how to go about it.

    I too have spent a number of evenings with some great guys that if it were not for this board I would not have ever of met, you being one.

    I need you in top form for the 23rd of this month when we all get together for the holiday dinner/outing.



    P.S... Happy Holidays and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Years to all I.S.O.C. Members On This Board !! ...........THE ROVER

    Jimmy

    You did a great job with this site and your continuing efforts to improve are really admirable.. I have accidentally crossed this board a month ago and since then I am addicted.. I read this board many times during the day.

    We are all unique in the sense that we air our mongering views freely without double standards.. For me this is like home.. meeting similar people

    Great job and keep going!

    Do your research. That is one of the primary reasons the board is here. To share data and information about chocha.
