The Other Place

Semigoodlooking · Sep 10th 2018

I don't post on the other forum because I forgot my password, but I do browse it. I am sure most do the same even if they don't post. Has anyone noticed how the most active discussions on the board have become a CFK propaganda mission. The most hateful character (I guess all here know who I mean) has really come into his own since many good posters left. I am more convinced that the "Doctor" is a paid shill.

Also, I have noticed it is not a very nice environment now. I have been around my fair share of internet forums so know the drill, but there seems to be an undercurrent of spite on that board.

I have been peeking in Morodor and I admit that I take inspirations for new topics and news. I am tempted to participate in some discussions over there, but I am currently half-banned, meaning that my posts are forever 'pending approval' and potentially never approved, so I don't see why I should waste my time trying to contribute.

I have seen the evil trio take the forum by storm, and they are like a chorus of stray dogs in each and every thread 'X is always right'/ 'Bro' you should listen to Dr. Y - he is really capable' and other rants/babbles in pseudo-English that have no interested to Buenos Aires expats. I am really baffled about people keeping posting over there. The environment has become toxic. Some contributors are valid and I would like to read/interact with them, I wish they came here to have a honest discussion about things.

I haven't participated in any expat events lately and I am also not interested in people defending the right of a forum admin to read my PMs or to delete posts linking to other expats outlets. It is very childish and a violation of privacy. I can already imagine the Peronist-esque conversation 'so you are okay with people reading your PMs' / 'yes, it is their forum, their rules' / 'but there is no rule that explicitly says that your PMs are not private' / 'there is no need, everyone knows so'. Duh!

Maybe money is involved, Semigoodlooking... people posting for free have long stopped replying to that CFK propaganda. On a side note, many Italian expats have strong Peronist feelings, whereas I have met very little 'other'-expats enthusiastically supporting CFK and friends. This has been something I have been speculating about for quite a few months. As I met Italian expats very late in my permanence here, I assumed they would be on the same wavelength as expats from North America and the Rest of Europe, but I was wrong. I still cannot wrap my head around this.

That was me in a previous incarnation as Gringoboy having rejoined with a different handle.

Rice · Aug 10th 2024

What was the other handle? I don’t remember!

But I always thought Gringoboy was a great one. As was La Coqueta de Recoleta. Can’t remember any of the other names, but I do know there has been an almost complete turnover there since our initial group left in 2017 (or was it 2016?).

I always got the feeling those who ran the forum posted the usual diatribe under several usernames. There's also another expats forum where a small group of members all post similar drivel.

What’s the name of the other forum, UK Man ? I’m curious to see if I can recognize any of the posters by their writing.

I met Alicia and her daughter in person, once. She has returned to the States shortly before the Pandemic.

Oh! Sorry, I was just talking about forum names that I remembered as good ones. Another was El hombre sin nombre.

On our forum, my choice for Most Appropriate Forum Name would have to be Ghost, who pops in when least expected. (Where are you today, Ghost?!)

As for avatars, hands down was the portrait of your namesake in sunglasses, serafina !

I also met her when she was wearing a bikini at a pool party.
