Welcome to the forum

I hate to hear that about your wife. That's horrible! I couldn't imagine being away from my love. I hope you're able to find a solution, soon.

Life is what it is. I will go over for holidays of up to one month, as more than that and I start losing my pension credits as it’s classed as ‘living abroad.’ We stay in touch every day by WeChat, which is the equivalent of Face Book with a video link. Hopefully as the world recession deepens, countries will relax their immigration requirements and we can all pile back in again. But until then …

Hello capnsquarepants, fancy meeting you here. The other place to me was like being back in the era of Windows 98 with the same views! Good job they didn’t have a ‘put him in the stocks and pelt him with rotten tomatoes’ thread, I’d have been in it. BTW, are you English?

The other place used to be pretty good, but I feel like it got more intolerant over the years. That's just my opinion though, hopefully no one from there sees this and gets offended.

I am not English, though I have a single friend from there who I've known for at least 20 years. I am Singaporean.

Nearest I got was Changi airport passing through for a couple of hours. Can’t even remember where I was going. I look at the other place as being stuck in a 10 year old time warp and I don’t really care who reads it. I felt like a time traveler from the future there.

I've been a member of the other place for a long time. There is definitely tension with some of them but a lot has happened there over the years. A lot of stuff to do with software clashes that ruined peoples relationships. It was a happening place at one time. I have no issues with anyone there though. I still enjoy going there.

We just need to understand underlying issues that have made people seem the way you might think they seem.

I guess I'm close to being a 20 year member there. In nearly 20 years, I've seen a lot that many people today will never see.

Forums were a happening thing at one time, but for many time has also stood still. That I think is the underlying issue. I don’t think it’s an accident that more than a few have migrated here. If people believe that updated software and seven days is what it takes to make a forum go viral (and wonder why it doesn’t), there’s going to be what resembles anger occurring.
