No idea whatsoever. People like to post here, I guess. It's been going since 1998, so that's 6 years already. The forums where only started a few years ago (I think in 2000).

Poor but snappy

exponential word-of-mouth more ppl = more word of mouth
more ppl = more action = even more word of mouth than if it were a boring place.

Exploring Norteamericanos are exploring new countries to move to since it is clear that the US with its massive vote fraud is no longer a democracy.

Maybe... Sadly, I sometimes get the impression that some people are here only to "meet Colombian women" and that seems to be their main focus. Maybe I'm totally seeing things wrong and I hope I am, but sometimes I think some come here not just for the love of Colombia and its culture.

Ya Think? There are both sides represented here, in addition to a third contingent who have met Colombianas/Colombianos, have love for the culture...and want to keep that flame roaring for Gran Colombia. Gran Colombia...what would it be like today if Bolivar could have pulled THAT off?

Desideria (Moderator) says on Dec 3, 2004, 14:45:

seriously speaking....
of course, this site has been able to get together most of the people from other Colombian boards, like the now defunct caligringo, ColombiaExperts and I guess not a few people from Planet Love...
cheers,
Desi

There is a lot of good information on Colombia here in English. That helps a lot, as some of us aren't quite up to speed fully with Spanish. It's a good site for information on many things Colombian.

However, I, too, am tiring of the "Where can I find this type of Colombiana" and the other hook-up type threads.

Today I found myself in a cultural differences thread, and was lead to see a different way of looking at things. Very helpful stuff.

Naw, Desi's a kind soul... maybe she's getting impatient with lack of good discussion in general. This is pretty fluffy these days.

Now, back to your fan club.... Kat can be the President, Zag the VP, and we'll have to find a Secretary....

Maybe you are right..BX "Sadly, I sometimes get the impression that some people are here only to "meet Colombian women" and that seems to be their main focus. Maybe I'm totally seeing things wrong and I hope I am, but sometimes I think some come here not just for the love of Colombia and its culture."

But what better way to get to know and love colombian culture than to bring a little sweetheart home with you.
