Expat Forum vs. "Beyond Backpacking" Forum

Now, now, ol' Coop. Back into the rocking chair you go. Here is a beer for you...that's it...even has your favorite colored straw. See? It's got Care Bears on it too. OK, easy goes it...that's it...yes...everything is good now, Coop...everything is good...just sleep now...

Yeah. I'm not at all grumpy today, thanks. The nurse brought us all jello.

In fact, I don't want to turn this into a thread where folks (jokingly or otherwise) demand something of the mods/founders. That's just silly.

Also, now that I have a mental picture of several of you doing lines off of Skobb's hairy naval, I'm not even sure I want anything more to do with this thread period.

Other than Stoo (he's always trouble) I don't think anyone was demanding anything in any sort of way. I just wanted some feedback (which I then received) since this is after all, the Feedback Forum.

Now, did you bring enough Jello for the rest of us?

Not sure I like this idea. I'm not likely to read an expat forum, but rather happen to enjoy your brand of batshit crazy.

No, you're fine. I wasn't referring to anything that's already been posted.

I just didn't want my little list of the changes that have been applied (three posts back) to be misinterpreted as some kind of smart-ass polemic meant to foster a bitch session. Like I said, I'm still holding out for an Expat forum, but I appreciate that the mods are trying to offer a compromise.

Awwwe. Thanks for the love, Neil. I just teared up a little. I'm sure the other expats will feel the same, mouth-foaming weirdos that they are.

Look at all this re-organizing! I think changing the Volunteering forum to the Living Abroad forum is a happy compromise.

As a hopeful future expat, I vote yes on the proposed expat forum!
