I agree with Nordique.

To go back into a thread and look for an answer, I have to sift through SO much nonsense typed by only a very small group of specific ladies.

Agree with LadyBee, completely. Had a good laugh at Lolacat's 'much love' comment but it seems to have vanished. I do think its a sign of the times when relatively new members post such threads and haven't been absolutely stripped to shreds and run squealing, tails firmly tucked, as it would have been in the past. Had to sit on my hands a few times, I mean the cheek of it. Who walks into a guest house and starts dictating how things should be? Height of bad manners. lol And what's with the much love malarkey? Was that a poor attempt at being humorous?

Personally I think the biggest change is the fact you can't discuss current affairs. It makes the board look like a bored housewives playground if you can't discuss what's going on in the world. I agree with this :) Totally agree as there are only so many different questions you can ask and advice that can be given. And yes some is way out of date, but it's easy to bring that back up to date.

Is all this debate about whether or not fun should be allowed on the board making anyone else think of Footloose? Now I've got Kevin Bacon on my mind and a severe case of Thursday tarantism.

I think there are also some other reasons EW has changed in the 10+ years it has been running. In those days, there wasn't really anywhere else to ask things. (Does anyone remember the lady that used to have a column in 7 Days where you could ask her to find things and she would write back where to get it.) Nowadays, people are generally not here for only 2 years like they were then. People stay here for longer. There's not such a high turnover of people needing information, and those that do need information would often google it, finding the information on EW or somewhere else. Or they would ask someone they have met, who has been here for longer so knows more than someone who just moved in last week. Most information is already 'out there' and is waiting to be found, rather than unknown. We still have newbies to Dubai, but their requirements in terms of information they need have been met (Look at all the info EW has gathered over the years and made part of their site). Added to that, personalities on the board can change the rhythm and tone of the board, if it is sometimes not a very nice place to be, people will stay away. I believe that is what has happened to EW over the last couple of years and it has generally become quieter. Didn't she have a really posh double barreled name. I was thinking about her the other day
