I Love BE..
There - I've said it
I first found this site in 2003 when many evenings were spent looking into the possibilities of a move to Aus and found it informative and an invaluable source of trivia good and bad. For the next 2 years I just 'lurked', not bothering to join and post only sucking information out.
We moved in Oct 05 and I finally registered a year later my first post being a one year update. From then on I have tried to help as much as I can in a field I have experience in (Business migration / ownership) and hopefully someone has been able to pick up some info.
We went to our first meet a little later and from there through many more have met some fantastic people, and made some great friends.
So all in all the site has helped in a major way in the biggest event in our lives and continues to be relevant today.
Yes I'm on FB, I twitter and visit many other sites good and bad but BE is always the first click on my favorites toolbar. The mix of intelligent, provocative and interesting posts plus irreverent, stupid and time wasting ones make it my all time favorite.

everyone knows i love this site. i feel a duty (for some strange reason) to help other here already or thinking of moving.
I have met great friends from this site and this maybe the reason i cant leave it alone
i have had nothing but good things from this site and if there was a single person to thank for that then i would shake their hand now.
so i will just have to thank The British Expats Forum for all the nice things i have taken from this site.
