I'll have a butchers in the Ozzie forum now and again, some right good threads in there! There was one a while back with about a page of deleted posts! Too-ing and fro-ing about UK vs OZ, the usual guff. A thread from the Middle East also caught my eye a while back and had me in stitches. Other than that, just stick to NZ, although saying that I haven't been on much lately...

Count your blessings.

I wouldn't say many but there are certainly a few.

It's good to wander.

The ME has a serial troll . That one tends to be stomped on almost immediately by those mods specialised in that troll.

A very good question RP! I dwelt 'nervously' for a long time in the Canada section, and lurked in the Maple Leaf....but they were quite nasty on occasion if you said the wrong thing....they scared me!

Now I 'need and dwell' far too much in Canada, and sometimes pop 'home' to France. I hover around Spain, where it gets exciting...but I've never lived or posted there, and occasionally I 'visit' Africa and the Gulf because I've lived there but not posted.

Yes, Canada, for one. France occasionally, lurking, as I always think I should live there. Australia occasionally to have a natter. Spain very sparingly as it's a bit too DM. And more recently, the Rovers Return, UK. Sometimes I see an interesting thread title on the main "Discussion Forum" index page and that will take me to another region. Don't go to any other Internet forums, spend far too much time on this one as it is.

Thank you kind sir, one has always tried not to be vapid.

I virtually lived on here when emigrating, loitered a little in Moving Back To The UK, and despite being back in the UK for three years, still come back to Maple Leaf to see what is occurring.

Mostly here, but as you know I'm also fairly active on the France forum (which has a very different tone / culture to this one, something I am trying to subvert without seeming too obvious). I often check out Germany because I used to live there and MBTTUK these days for the same reason and also for reasons explained elsewhere.

Spain is toxic, The Lounge immensely boring and the Oz/NZ fora tedious and predictable.

I just visit Canada, the US, and once in a blue moon the take it outside (I think that is what it's called.) I ignore the rest of the site.

Default Re: Where are all the Trolls?

Does anyone have an idea of why we might have changed so much on the Canada Maple Leaf Forum? A few years ago when I joined, it was not for the uninitiated?

I don't want it to be like Spain but I do think it was more lively.... 'nicely' scary then....would any of you like to come back and beat the hell out of me in writing for my more vapid responses please

We write less well, we have less bite, because we have been in Canada longer.
