Re: Why do you post? (or not?)
Very rarely have a look in now, all my internet stuff these days is on the phone, which makes forums (the typing) a PITA.

is it the whole site thats gone dead or just the Australian part? Has the number of UK people emigrating here dropped significantly?

Not sure about the rest of the site - the US forum seems to be full of many of the same no-hopers wanting a new life in the US on the basis of a holiday, though I don't really know if it is up or down.
Australia very quiet though. Not even getting very many 457s - maybe the economic slowdown is hurting harder than first thought.

Re: Why do you post? (or not?)
The US has a lot of posters who stay around to chat, and at present they have the post-Christmas "lets move to Florida" crowd -similar to the sudden rush of people we have had on the Aus forum. Canada is the most flourishing forum at present on the Immigration front.
As regards Aus -visa prices have gone up hugely, Spouse visas have about trebled in the last 4years, and for a skills visa these days the price is per person not per family, which deters a lot of people Plus its not as cheap here as it used to be compared to the UK and jobs are not as easy to come by,

I usually post to see who shares my sense of humour and who doesn't. A lot don't but I think most on here are as warped as me.

Re: Why do you post? (or not?)
Ok so I'm a newbie joined yesterday as will be moving shortly to the States. Came on here looking for some advice. So I will see how I go and provide you with some feedback on my experience if you like. I've moved twice once to Shanghai and then to Switzerland and have always used forums / meet up groups for info which have helped. So I will let you know.
