Medellin Reports

[Jonesie]

Many good points on forum structure and layout. But what many guys don't realize things are the way they are for a reason. Many times they evolved this way via trial and error.

I too thought about creating a superior way to reference information, and tried it out with my site. Creating separate forums for every possible topic and sub topic. What followed were a lot of empty forums with little activity. Even with ISG's six figure membership, critical mass in any forum is necessary to keep the attention of the participants. I have the luxury of a boutique membership where I can adventure into new experimental referencing strategies without the chaos it would cause on a board this size if it turns out to be a bad idea. The result being a mix of both better and worse.

In English, I'm saying things are set up the way they are for a reason. Many times because other ways of doing things didn't work very well. You'll never make everyone happy all the time. In the end, we're all trying to find a way to deliver the information, entertainment, and sense of community in the most efficient way possible.

As they say, a spoon full of sugar.

Yes, this forum is for Medellíand, but there are threads for food, hotels, wing requests, etc. For vets, a free style forum might be ok, but it makes it extremely difficult for newbies to find information and then they get flamed for it wanting to wade through the chit chat. This isn't isolated to this forum. Maybe the mods can me more proactive in moving posts to the right location.

Case in point. I was looking for information about Thailand. I had to go back 10-15 pages of chitchat to finally get to a report. In fact, this discussion should probably go in the general section. If you want to see more mish mash of posts, maybe this forum needs a "new posts" function.

That's just the nature of the beast. Welcome to the internet. This your first time online?

I'm not completely understanding this post. You say that it is extremely difficult for newbies to find information without having to wade through "chit chat", but if they are looking for:

threads for food, hotels, wing requests, etc.

Then why are they not posting those questions in those particular threads / forums you mentioned?

This "chit chat" is what people are coming to the Medellin Reports to read about, as it has everything that has to do with anything pertaining to Medellin (reports, philosophies, cultural topics, etc.).

Perfect example, why the hell would we open a new thread just to talk about the Metro in Medellin?:

I am guessing he means off the actual Metro, the city train system.

It is a great place to flirt and hone your language skills.

This would not go in the "General Info" thread because that forum is "Colombia specific" (hence the term "General"), whereas this thread is "Medellin specific".

I think it is the newbie who is not utilizing the thread correctly.

Want to know about The Mansion? There is a thread for that (seriously, it's under the User Threads as "Casa Blanca Medellin")

Need a Wingman? Travel Announcements thread, no?

Need a Medellin hotel or apartment? Well I'll be damn, there's a thread for that as well!

Using a cell phone in Colombia? Holy shit Batman!!

Do you see where I am going with this? So if a newbie comes here asking about such things, how are we in the wrong for telling them to RTFF?

Or maybe one of us vets need to take it upon ourselves to put together a "How to RTFF" PDF guide??

You can check my past posts: I've been pretty consistent with answering questions newbies have posted in this forum, regardless if they do no ask about the Mansion in the Casa Blanca Medellin thread, or food questions in the Colombian Food thread (sorry Manny51, I have no idea about Colombian Sancocho, but Vegas Jeff posted a response to your question in the Colombian Food thread). If I don't have the answer then I definitely direct them to where they can find it.

Cool, because I want to revive it. Man, I know that some hardliner is going to skewer me on this one, but I have to ask!

I LOVE Colombian sancocho. Where is the best place that in Poblado, I. E, close to the Mansion?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe you might get more of a response in the Medellin Food topic?

[Manny51]

Don't worry about it. It all pertains to Medellin.

Ok, now I understand but in which area there are so many beautiful girls? I was in Medellin some years ago and I took the train from Mayorista to the center of Medellin. It was in day time but I have not seen any girl.

I challenge that this forum is for sex in Medellin only. Certainly that's the primary function, but the auxillary information about places to stay as well as what to eat and what not to eat is all part of the deal. No, I don't want this to turn into the Food Network, but I appreciate the additional information in one place, rather than trying to glean little bits and pieces from all over. For those of you who support more relaxed parameters of discussion, thank you. For those purists who don't eat and sleep on park benches, I'm in awe.

If anyone knows anyone that might fit the bill, please PM and let me know. And yes, it HAS to be a women.

Attached is a copy of the Chica Recruitment Flyer that we have been handing out in select areas. We are already inundated with girls, and desperately need someone to manage them. We are also giving free pole dancing classes to qualified girls, and are hoping for a few really talented ones that we can train to higher levels of creative and exotic type dancing.

We are still working hard for the opening of the full service public club. Expect sometime end of March.

I was going to stop by last night and the taxistas had not ideal where it was.

What are days and times of operation_?

Ahhh...never mind i google it...sorry...

will stop by sometime soon...cheers!

i have set up a couple cute girls for tonight at my apartment my friend can't make it. is any in the city want to hang out? i think i can handle both of them but a big problem is that they don't do three somes, and leave one girl waiting for turn is not that cool. girls are cute and young, send me pm for more details and picks. the action is at 8:00 pm so hurry guys =) if you can send your phone that would really speed up the communication.

pd: those friking new pop up banners in the page are so annoying

Casa run the other day, Latinas has a nice lineup right now with a couple cute flacas. Paris and Andromeda were similar, small runs of 6-10 girls but some decent talent. You have to hit these places while the lineups are decent. Aiffe is still pretty ho-hum, New Life has some winners but they get run through all day. Loads of foot traffic and it seems to mostly be for a couple of them. On one hand this casa run was refreshing because there was some decent talent and places I hadn't been to in some time. On the other, I'm always a little disappointed with the atmosphere and hygiene in these places. I will probably take this run again to get a couple more numbers of girls that piqued my interest to see them outside the scene. I might venture over to Blue Room or one of those places if I have time. I'll be here a while longer but between regulars and social stuff it's hard to really hit new places regularly.

Made this run with another member here, very chill guy, seems to have his shit together but not to the point where he's not having plenty of fun.

I know the food stuff belongs under dining but it was asked (and followed up on) here. If the mods could move the whole discussion, that would be ideal I suppose.

Wilt are you still in mde. I am here now!

Drinking too much with some old acquientances. Mayo sucks now. An occasional interesting one. Weak. Got to start casa runs soon. Centro had 3 hotties but that is it. One was too wasted for my taste. Maracaibos talent last night way better than Barra Ejecutiva.

Oh well. Will look again today.

Cheers.

I knew a chica that worked as a "masajista" during the day. One time (the only time I ever called her over) she came over smelling like "budussy" (butt and pussy). Kinda turned me off to wanting to meet chicas who work in Casas outside of them. I guess it may be different if you can get them to bypass work for a day to come and hang with you or something.

I'm glad to see I am not the only one who appreciates discussion with "more relaxed discussion" from time to time!

What is Metro precisely? Do you mean a disco or the street?

I am guessing he means off the actual Metro, the city train system.

The public transportation train that runs from one end of the city to the other. It's a super model freak show.
