Spain Forum Copyright (c) 2008 ExpressionEngine tag:spainexpat.com,2008:04:29 Ongoing development - site wackiness tag:spainexpat.com,2006:spain/forum/viewthread/.11 2006-07-04T15:02:32Z The Expatriator In the efforts of getting the forum launched as well as a slight redesign to the site, you may see some funkiness going on with the site.

So you’re welcome to bare with it or come back later.

Thanks for your patience!

]]> As you can see… tag:spainexpat.com,2006:spain/forum/viewthread/.1 2006-06-21T16:44:08Z The Expatriator There is now a forum on Spain Expat. As this is the first entry, I’d like to take a moment to note a few things on the to do list and perhaps others can remind me when they don’t get done:

- Encourage people to stop posting questions about things that AREN’T related to the information page on which they post.
- Encourage people to read the articles and use their heads before posting, for example on the Cost of Living page, (not a real example) “how much do you think I need to make to be able to live in xyz-tiny-spanish-town-no-one’s-heard-of?”
- Encourage people to take a chance and be heard. Yes, there are other people that can learn a lot from your experience moving to Spain!
- Find some moderators who know their shit.
- Stop watching so much World Cup and take it easy on the beer. My gut is growing.
- Setup a Forum Policy page and post it right here, then make it sticky.
- Encourage some of my expat friends to take a peek in here once in a while.
- Last but certainly not least, make this forum into the community of nice, friendly expats I know it can be.

It recently was suggested to me, directly via PM on the forum here, that a chat client would be a nice addition to the site. While that’s not something we’d thought about before, perhaps it’s a good idea anyway. wink

I wanted to open this up to others to see what you thought; what are some features that you’d like to see added to SpainExpat?

Here are some of the other suggestions:

- Spain News

- Book Reviews & Club

- Shared photo galleries

- Youtube or video sharing

- Service reviews (service providers add their service to a listing, then you have an opportunity to review/rate them… imagine Telefonica’s!)

- Wiki

- Real estate listings

- Job listings

- General classifieds

- Updated expat blog listings with latest posts

- Public chat

So yeah, post a reply to the topic with your ideas or suggestions. Feel free to be crazy and radical with them!
