PBH / Colombia / Forums (active) Travelguide Cheap hostels Pictures

Solamente en Espanol, por favor!

I have often thought that making PBH a Spanish-only forum would go a long way towards making it a worthwhile forum. It would eliminate most or all of the trolls who post in English. It would also eliminate most of the nonsense posted by uni lingual gringos. It would also eliminate nearly all of the anti-Colombian hatred which is a hallmark of PBH. It would also improve the Spanish skills of those like myself who have a certain degree of proficiency but who still need work. I keep hoping that this idea will reach a critical mass and persuade the owner of the site but it never seems to happen. So PBH continues as it is, of little use to anyone.

Doing so would not accomplish any of the objectives listed in my comment.

From what I have heard, the primary function of PBH is to provide accurate, timely and personalized information to residents and travelers who want to experience the greatness of Colombia.

Correct, Bill T-Spanish only eliminates the original intent of the board. But I will say lately we have been eat up with
"newbies" asking strange, troll like question then going out of his/her way to keep argument ongoing.

I finally agree with UtopiaCowboy on something! It would also eliminate all the English-only pseudo-Colombians who constantly come here to badmouth their parents' counrty!

Simon next time you are in country you are more than welcome to come to Manizales and have some beers with me. I will even introduce you to some spanish speaking Colombianas.

So if I understand correctly the recommendation is to take your ball, go home, and pout because the other kids are not playing nicely???

Dios mio, no ser un delicaducho...

I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

PBH no es una escuela de español. Buscas por el Internet para conseguirlo.

I agree with strange ¨Troll Like¨¨ questions comment. Like the women from India who wanted to get a job in Cali. Ja JA Ja . Why not look in Angola or some where¿?

I would have no problem surviving in all spanish PBH, but it would take longer, and frankly, I spend way too much time on this dumb site already.

Utopiacowboy: Entiendo tu punto, pero me imagino que hay bastante gente que no sabe espanol pero necesita usar esta pagina para encontrar informacion sobre Colombia. Si este foro fuera solo en espanol, seria inutil para ellos.

Hay algunos, es verdad pero la mayoria son mongolicos.
