Naah. Just in a coma.

Apparently so!

Someone start a contest: How long before MC spouts some of his valuable insights.

<5 minutes!

It seems, at least to me, that the old site is now just the webboard, while the new site is just the real estate site with no interconnection.

It went dead about 11:30 AM Saturday and came back about 1:30 PM today, Tuesday for a total of 3 days and perhaps 2 hours.

How did I figure it out? Well I looked for the last post on Saturday and the first today. So it might be closer to three days than 3 days and 2 hours.

But who cares how many hours.

With the trashing Lakeside gets over there it's a wonder he wants his company even remotely connected with it. Maybe he doesn't read it?

I was stuck reading TOB...they say this board is just a bunch of complainers...yet all they seemed to do was complain about this one...

Yeah but that's all we complain about........jaja.

Just got my MND Tuesday edition. Lead story is about Jalisco cracking down on noise. How long before MC and the other "noise expert" start touting that one?

At least we don't complain about everything like the "corrupt" government, potholes, trash, lousy Jalisco roads, noise and how Mexico needs to get its act together like back home. And we don't troll the forums here looking for customers either. They seem to read here as much or more as we do over there but at least we don't constantly run down our adopted home. We seem to know we weren't sent for and are happy to be here. But then some people are never happy wherever they are.

What a remarkable statement as piles of rotting garbage accumulate  and deterring roads do not get fixed....... We seem to know we weren't sent for and are happy to be here. .....
I think it behoves to be concerned about the quality of life, if only for the Mexicans nationals we live among...don't you think they have equal concerns?

So, what are you doing to improve the quality of life for the Mexican nationals? Hint: complaining or expressing concern on mostly foreigners web boards does not count as "helping."

How patronizing of Lakeside. Mexicans are not children to be looked after. They are adults quite capable of looking after themselves and don't spend their time bitching about everything like some NOB types.

I noticed that TOB seems to have been abandoned by Chapala Realty, which now has a completely separate website for their real estate listings.  Many of us have expressed our concern that TOB may have been bad for their business, and they may have finally come to that realization. Their new site has a new address, beginning with cb. signifying their franchise name, so it could be easy to confuse the two.
TOB now has no link to real estate, or to the agency‘s popular glossy publication.  
Since it appears that the Tingens have cast it loose, one might wonder who now owns it, who is the webmaster, and who is the moderator of TOB.  MC was quick to announce that it was back.  It isn‘t really back, but something that looks like it has taken its place.  No notice, of course. Does MC own it now?

according to the Grand Mufti's loyal companion, Betty 678...this forum expressed that it missed him and his "brilliant" posts as well as that really great forum.

Note that they just recently upgraded or changed the Chapala forum format again. When this happened the last two times this same message came up. It went down this time on Saturday and MC wasn't able to report same to the staff until Monday, and things were up and running the next day.
