    Welcome to the new Argentinaexpats forum!

    This has come about as a result of continued problems of hosting with our previous web host and rather than having this new domain hosted in Argentina, it's hosted in the USA.

    In time and once we've sorted out the migration, we hope to have all previous posts and history forked into this new forum.

    Stay tuned and we'll keep you updated.

    IMPORTANT!

    The old forum at http://www.argentinaexpats.com.ar now has a redirect on it, so any members who haven't caught up with us yet will be automatically redirected to this forum.

    It took me a couple of days because the CPanel they use at the hosting company grupoargentinaweb.com is a cut down, cheapo and the redirect was buried.

    I just integrated it with the app - love it. MUCH easier to use on my phone than what I used to do, for a different, nameless site - load that site in the mobile web browser, where it was buggy and painful to use....

    I can highly recommend [definition='1','1']WSC[/definition] Connect which is similar to Tapatalk, but only works with forums running on the WoltLab software and is Android only for the moment.

    It's a very slick app indeed.

    On the 4th of December Argentina Expats will be one year old!

    I for one am very pleased we decided to make the switch from the Argentine hosting company and also to start again with new the forum software, WoltLab Suite, which is professional, robust and easy to manage.

    We are still a growing forum and the statistics, whilst a little humble, do speak for themselves:

    • 77 Members
    • 1,136 Threads
    • 7,149 Posts (22.2 Posts per Day)

    It's our philosophy to welcome all new members, regardless of whether they are an expat or not, as different views are what help diversify the discussions.

    It's also important to note that we don't moderate posts and PMs, neither do we delete posts because they are not in line with a particular mindset.

    This is an open forum and all views are welcome.

    No major changes are planned on the look and layout of the forum for the near future, but any suggestions members may have will always be welcome.

    Enjoy!

    In fact, the forum has been going for a lot longer than that because I started off in 2011 when I registered argentinaexpats.com.ar and had it hosted locally. Some members may remember that.

    Here's a post which explains how it started, not to mention one of my many bannings from The Other Place.

    The costs in running a premium forum.

    This forum, in one shape or another, has been running for over ten years and I have used numerous hosting companies and configurations. For that reason, it would be useful to explain why the forum uses premium software.

    Back in 2011, I registered argentinaexpats.com.ar and had it hosted locally in Buenos Aires, for pennies. That turned into a disaster because it was constantly under attack from hackers and pirates. The hosting company (someone's living room) folded, never to be seen again.

    Six years and three months, and we're still here! It may not be a record, but we have succeeded where others have failed.

    It's especially pleasing having been able to be an alternative venue to the other place.
