Not so long ago in a galaxy far far away, this site used to have some real characters, there were lively debates and often some good humour, but now it's all Where is the best place that I can buy a carton of milk, How do I get a Taxi from Alicante, I've never been to Villamartin so what's it like, Where can I watch the football on Cabo Roig strip or Are there any shops in La Zenia Boulevard?

It amazes me how some people manage to get dressed in the morning, never mind ponder how they feed themselves throughout the day, unless some of you exert your humour in your posts, make them more entertaining and less banal, then I'm out of here.

Sarcastic responses only please.

It's funny, there were probably 100x more people complaining about the trolls and insane topics during covid compared to the few now who would like a return to that!I would much rather be running a website that helps people with any questions they have, than a website overrun with trolls, conspiracy theorists, and people who think Bill Gates has implanted a chip in their brain and tracking their weekly shop at Consum (these were the type of peopl...

I suppose the obvious answer is don't let the door hit you on the backside on your way out. But I would never say that to such a prolific poster, after all, 8 posts in 6 years is some record.

Take the 'wanted' and 'for sale' posts away any you're left with a banal and boring shell of a once reasonably lively and entertaining forum.

The owners seem uninterested in it so long as revenue from advertising continues (does anybody take any notice of them coz I know I don't), if they did the rancidly stale message about 'uncertain times" would have at least been updated if not removed completely.

I tend to agree & with the OP. But, the forum is more manageable for admin.  ( Which is, & all said, is how they / he wants it). A once lively forum is now less lively but just useful. ( & Merry humbug to all). V

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

You may not have noticed but the OP asked for sarcastic replies.

However, I can just about take most sarcastic posts, moaning, complaining and obvious trolling but, with everything going on in my life at the moment, there does come a time when suffering fools gladly becomes a pain.

So maybe time for me to take a break.

Merry Christmas. I'll be spending Boxing Day sitting on a hard metal bench outside the Hospital de Dia at Torrevieja hospital for 3 or 4 hours.

Console yourself with the thought that it could be a great deal worse. On an equivalent forum in London it would be mainly about lost cats!!  The closest to that you find here is the ad for 'the Cat's Whiskers" which doesn't even bother to tell you what they do.
