I think a good deal of the audience are those who have an interest in living in Bali - but so far I haven't found a particularly active, helpful forum of expats outside of Jakara (which is a whole other type of expat) either. Maybe I'm missing something?

My own experience is that when you are living in Indonesia, you often have limited access to the internet, and certainly don't get the sort of time on-line that you get outside of Indonesia.

My life in Indonesia was quite removed from the internet world - and while it was nice to visit it every so often, it was not too frequently (ala my posting activity in 2005).

I think that is why most of the more active members don't live in Bali. The lucky buggers living the life don't need to talk about it. :wink: They participate in the Bali community in more traditional ways.

I second that FreoGirl. I have always had very limited access to the internet while living in/visiting Bali. We don't have a phone in our village (land line), let alone the internet! I always look forward to reading posts that are made by people actually living over there, however appreciate that logging onto the forum may not be the first thing they do when they wake up in the morning! :D

i think a good forum is a forum that makes you feel connected to the subject matter when you're reading / posting in it.. i.e. when i'm reading this forum (perhaps it's some kind of escapeism), i kinda feel as though i'm already in bali.. so for me, this forum rocks, regardless of the subject at a given time (sure some seem obsolete); generally, i have a daily bug - i check it a few times a day... check it driving home.. check it from... let's just say - thank god for the blackberry...

Bert, that blog link you posted... blatant and brutal! Those who wish to check it out, please do so by opening a new window and not coming from this great site here.

Good luck Bert!
