| | I have to admit.... you're the best EF!
And it comes from very deep down my heart.
I have been on a forum in Turkey, and now I am trying to find something ''ok-ish'' for Spain and believe me, nothing can beat EF. NOTHING
The mods in here are doing an amazing good job to keep it clean, I am totally amazed of your commitment guys to keep it clean of all the trolls, spam, etc.
When we don't need to look for an other forum, we lose the sight of what we have into our hands. We don't realised how great this forum is and it becomes easy to complain about the way it is managed and organised.
So here is my Thank you to all the mods for their great job. It is my Thank you for all the members who have been here to inform me, support me and made my life in Switzerland a much better experience. Bless you Mark!
I made great friends through this forum and my life in Switzerland was much easier because of this forum!
Thank you,
Nil

I do not agree with you! I hate this forum. Ever since we decided to move to Switzerland it was the best tool ever. Really! I hate this! We had to meet all these wonderful people from many countries...we had to interact and hear wonderful stories about EF. More than that...so many things in our house are from wonderful people...It was just too helpful...We could not have done it without this amazing forum. REALLY! Plus...it is still too helpful...I mean...I check it so many times a day... 
anyway...I feel the same: on behalf of my family THANK YOU!

You're quite right, Nil. I think that's why more than just a couple of us who have left still stay on in some form or another.
I've yet to find anything that comes close for the UK, and I don't think I will.

I'm finding that this forum really helps to make me feel less alone while living in a foreign country. Even if it is just through my computer, it still helps me feel less alienated, and I guess it just somehow helps to know that many others have experiences similar to mine.
And as an added bonus, it also keeps me laughing!

I've searched and found none to beat it for the good humour, the laughs, much needed sarcasm and general banter.
Strange it helps people so much too- after roasting them alive first (if, and only when, they need it).
Maybe we should open a Left Switzerland section as well to help ex-expats, wherever they may be now?

I am not bagging for love here!
I realised how Expats in CH are very lucky to have this forum, it makes our life millions times easier.
I don't have an English Forum in Spain and what is out there is terrible.
So those who comes here and cry because of the ambiance in here should be ashamed. This forum HAS an ambiance! And lots of people around to answers them in the minutes or hours. Rarely a question will stay without an answer for days... | The following 2 users would like to thank Nil for this useful post: | |

I have been on a forum in Turkey, and now I am trying to find something ''ok-ish'' for Spain and believe me, nothing can beat EF. | | | | | try Eye on Spain. I post using the same user name there. Great resource. Not really comparable to the EF but great in other ways. Once you've settled in and got to know some of the people you'le love it as much as you loved the EF.

| | Re: I have to admit.... you're the best EF!
I post a bit on Eye On Spain and AbsoluteSpainForum, and I agree... no comparison. And while I appreciate the work that the Mods do, I really think the difference between the EF and most other fora that I have experienced is the members.
There is a LOT of post volume on EF from expats and locals, and such a wealth of information. In Spain, the expat population is largely made up of retirees and they do not seem to have the same issues/needs that I do.
In any case, hats off to ALL EF members (and remember, be nice to newbies!).

That's because of all the bloody foreigners in Switzerland.  :P
It's true. EF is the best. I'm in BA & still hang out here. For shame!!!!

This post is now the 'what I love about EF' post! Just gotta add my two cents of love for EF. Although I haven't been on the writing side very long, my KFC fun and great friends go beyond what my 'newb' status is. Much love EF!!

and don't forget the muslims, the red rats, the black sheep, the spaghetti monster, the mad guy on the roof in Basel and Micheline Calmy Rey's hair style and all the other spooky and wonderful things that can kick-start endless threads here on the EF. Maybe other countries are just too boring?
