So what happened to Visit Croatia ? When I joined 18 months ago or so it was an active discussion forum. I could see it go very much downhill, and stopped posting myself for a few months, as I couldn't be bothered with all the spiteful stuff that was being posted. Big Flags etc etc... It seems that there appears to be an opportunity to start things from fresh again. It would be a shame to see it disappear into nothing.

The reason the site is going to the graveyard is that the people that post on here dont like being restrained in such a heavy way.
I esp dont like the slander next to my name.
It takes some people to spark a debate to get people writing. Without that people might as well talk about boring things like like how green the grass in croatia is.
Even the croatian doo gooders are bored, I have loads of PMs asking me to return to my spicey ways, but alas I am on probation and I cant.
What Anna has achieved is the complete apathy of both pro and anti croatians! Quite amazing really.
People in the end dont want to be just marketing tools for Visit Croatia and as Anna herself suggested - they have gone elsewhere..... shame as I really enjoyed the debates on here.

Culchie its also down to people like you - who winge!
The hit rate has gone down rapidly and its because of your attitude that the site now sucks.
If you want something fun why don't you type something interesting..... oh but then you just want to talk about mundane. If you do want it to get better - inspire the people! Give them something to go on about? Middle of the Road politics and commentary only leads to apathy and decadence, and this is where we are now.

lol, was that an afterthought? I don't think I even engaged in a conversation with you so 'whinge' is a little heavy handed. LOL, it was a funny afterthought though ..... had you logged off before saying to yourself "feck it, I think I better go back and write something insulting"....or was it just that it takes that long for your brain to send messages to your nimble fingers

whatever its cold in croatia now because its winter.
of course my post will be erased because I am posting "off topic" or davidzg will tell you my post means nothing because i don't live there. If asked politely though, david will tell you the temperature of his refrigerator relative to outside temperature.
PS i think Anna already stated she wants to have a life besides this board so i think she wanted to take a little vacation. Of course when i first began observing the boards this time last year there were good debates with emiz and others. it was fun. so fun i tuned in everyday to read all the posts. Then, months later, i began posting. All good things come to an end.

Hey guys, don't be so sad! This isn't the end! At least I certainly don't think so. Yes, it has been a quiet few days but if I had to pick between that and people going round winding-each other up and endless fighting...I know what I'd prefer.
Pipastro, you mentioned that people don't like being restrained in such a heavy way - I don't do that...UNLESS it is necessary and I felt what I did was right. You make it sound like it was a widespread cull. Give or take the random spammer or troublemaker, it was really only a few usual suspects that were "restrained".
Changes may well be made. Watch this space.

changes? what changes are you talking about? you must be getting ready to sell the site. is that why you wanted to quiet things down? do we get a cut of the selling price for sending thousands of hits to your site over the last year?

It seems that there appears to be an opportunity to start things from fresh again. It would be a shame to see it disappear into nothing. Culchie, I made an almost identical post last week, I joined the same time as you and I made the post because other members were making idiotic attacks on myself for actually enjoying and endorsing Croatia. My post was deleted yet the "members" who have replied above (and look at their replies) are allowed to continue. THAT is the reason the board has degenerated. I may look back next year.

People like you are the ones who annoy me most, you think it is ok to attack people, yet you will cry when people have a go back. Stop crying think of all the free advertising you have had without adding anything to this site. The previous real estate posters all had knowledge and added something, joe, karl etc. You just yap.

On a serious note...it is quite simple why this site has been slow, I have been busy, Gav has gone to Australia to meet a sheep he met in a chartroom, Pipo is out of sparing partners, and most importantly....the people who complain never post anything interesting.
They simply add comments on others threads, parasites the lot of you.
Add something interesting, you're all business men, you must have some marketing skills.
Interest me, I appoint myself as visit Croatia's Simon cowell.
Also people take themselves far too seriously, stop crying you bunch of middle aged men in dresses.

Anna I think you're a hottie. Ill be in London in 10 days so we can meet up if you like and you can meet the one and only pip in real life..... how tempting a thought did you ever have? ? Love is in the air..... Mark - you are pathetic. The only reason you are on here is to MAKE MONEY. Your views are so biased and so focused on selling a lies that you winge when some truth comes out. You disgrace the English culture with your gutless manipulation of the site to use it for your business. Its so transparent. At least Dave and me, and Croam and Gav on the other side believe in something. They are differing ideas and we rarely agree, but what we have in common is that we have fun and we provoke each other to get some clarity. If you want happy happy stuff go and buy a cartoon. This is the adult world with real world experience not just the amateur marketing that you so futilely attempt to do....... Culchie - yes did log off and I did have a go later because I felt something was missing! But it was amusing and you replied. Therefore you stayed on the site longer and made the effort to reply...... I manipulated you and it was easy! So predictable! Like a puppet mate! Well. maybe we will have a revival - if Anna comes and meets me for a date, I promise to be like a Gentleman from now on - and there is a 5 star promise on that one! Also a 5 star experience! LOL be good to yourselves and Each Other! ciao:)
