General Info

[QUOTE=MiamiSammy; 1535442]Well, it's nice to be set straight and have my priorities properly aligned. Maybe Jackson could post these guidelines somewhere if they are in fact the official protocol. If not, I'll just file this under my "opinions are likeat$$holes, everyone has them" file.

Rock on.[/QUOTE]Absolutely file it there. It's wishful thinking on my part that life HERE could be easy and sensable.

Cheers Miami

Oh...pizza boxes on top of pizza boxes = useless info piled layer after layer until the space is unusable.

I bounce between the Medellin, Jakarta and AC forums. One out of these 3 forums has mostly general information, while the other 2, Jakarta and AC have relevant current pussy hunting info about that particular town. The Jakarta thread just says,"Jakarta" and yet the guys there stay very close to,"who, where, and how much". Here in the Colombian Forum the Med thread says distinctly, Medellin Reports". Now for me that means trip reports, it's not vague, Medellin Reports, it's very clear. Some might think it should read,"Medellin Specifics" but it doesn't. It reads, Medellin Reports but what is plain and simple to some is convoluted to others. Why? Only nature has the answer. A portion of the Colombian mongers do not care about site integrity or ease of use, they only about who wins the debate.

My reason for throwing away valuable time on this is to make it easy to find the important details. For me the important details are, who, where, and how much. That is Jackson's intent on every forum and by filling the main thread in a forum w / extraneous gossip and back and forth back slapping page after page is not quality. A few here will defend it. Why? Because it's easier to be lazy on the front end and just post everything in one thread. The one thread that is being wrecked is the most popular thread by 100%. The Medellin thread has 14, 000 reports, next highest is Cartagena w / 6, 000.

I also think this discussion is a good thing (not necessary in other forums tho) because both sides of the issue have valid points. My firm belief is that the Medellin Reports should be less convoluted.

How to do this in a practical manner? Every post should start out about the, who, where, and how much. Anything that is directly related to that and comes up in a TR belongs on the Medellin Reports forum. What does not belong are post that have no, who, where, and how much. So if Gungadong is in El Centro checking and partaking at the casas and he finds a gem of a restaurant and it is included in his TR it belongs in the Medellin Forum. If Gungadong makes a post asking where are the good restaurants in El Centro then that is complete Bullshit.

It's that simple.

The best argument against fixing the Medellin Reports forum is that who wants to put every different topic in the right container. I agree w / this, it is a pain in the ass to post in all these different forums but if and when one can that's what they should do. It's that simple. I will try and do this as well.

My method though is using General Information because it is easy and a fun read once inside. So what's a better system? Throw very bit of info in the Medellin Reports along w / gratuitous heaps of back slapping? Or cleaning it up a bit and posting general info (all of the above) in General Information. Posting, who, where, and how much in the Medellin Reports. There will always be additional info attached to the,"who where, and how much" because it's part of the meat of the issue. The meat belongs in Medellin Reports as it is w / most other forums where quality info is exchanged by guys who want to help each other live it up.

Like Jonsie said, there is no perfect solution. Rational thought will hopefully win the day. It's a no brainer, the Medellin Reports should stick to the subject matter. Who, where, and how much is the pussy.

Good Luck...

[QUOTE=MiamiSammy;1536320]The problem seems to be that nobody really seems to care quite as much as you do. Give it a rest.[/QUOTE]It's actually comical, a debate on where to place your reports, ideas, opinions, etc within the forum.

Ideally, Socker is obviously right. Posting in the various sections, like Hotels, Food, etc would be great. Would keep information, reports, etc organized.

At times guys do make their posts in the corresponding sections, however, as we know, the main Medellin forum does go off on it's tangents LOL.

I don't think it's anything to get upset about or rave about really.

When things start to go off tangent, anyone can post that they're moving their reply to the appropriate section and Viola (wala) , the conversation usually moves.

The newbies, just like the vets did when new, have to weed through and find what they want, and then again, the Medellin Lists section usually stays fairly relevant, and that's what'll get ya going in the right direction.

Have fun amigos!

Hey guy's,

New to this site have a trip planned for BOG in mid April. Anybody know of a good place to catch a flight from BOG to MDE?

[QUOTE=MiamiSammy;1536320]The problem seems to be that nobody really seems to care quite as much as you do. Give it a rest.[/QUOTE]But it is extremely hard to do. Mammy you can stick "give it a rest" up your butt. I don't need your condescension or your 2nd smart ass comment about my legitimate complaint.

I just read all of your 29 post and guess what? You are the guy filling the Medellin Report forum full of boring crap about nothing. You are constantly brown nosing, asking for help, giving your fatherly advice, and telling people to "give it a rest" when in reality you have contributed ZERO to this forum. ZERO!

This is the most entertaining post of your impressive 29. Dated 2/09/14. THIS IS WHAT YOU GOT!

Long time monger, first time in Colombia.

I'll be enjoying the sights for the first time in Medellin / Bogota for the last few days of Feb, first few of March. I've got good Spanish, know the customs and history pretty well and would like to trade off wingman duties or add on to an existing party. PM or reply- if nothing else lets share a beer and compare notes once we get down there.

Miami Sammy.

And you're telling me to "give it a rest"? Mammy why don't you,"give it a vacation" a LONG ONE!!

All of your post have no information at all, some brown nosing, and a lot of asking for help and information, just leeching like a deadbeat.

You should have thought about your track record before becoming a "know it all" in the Colombia section. Like I said earlier, I don't like you.

Ironically my cause here (the Medellin Reports forum) would benefit you the most.

I don't want to hear any more suggestions from you, PERIOD!

Sammy Miami. You give it a rest.

You guys are really arguing about this? There's nothing on tv?

Sammy Miami. You give it a rest.[/QUOTE]Thanks bro. I did not intend to come down so hard on MS but as I read his post history (all crap, all in Med. Reports) I just lost my composure a bit. Guys w / no standing shouldn't be disrespecting the board members here who have contributed to this forum, plain and simple.

Cheers, life is great!

Crime in Colombia. An interview w / the Cali mayor. Interesting insights from Rodrigo Velasco the mayor.

HP: You, as a public figure, were somewhat insulated from direct intimidation by the cartel.

RGV: Right. For example, I never accepted [their repeated proposals to meet with them]: I would say, "Well, any city problem that you would like to discuss with me? Welcome.… The moment that you need something that I can solve, I will talk. The moment I need something that you can do, I will let you know…" I never saw them or met them.


HP: They were willing to accept that approach?


RGV: They accepted it, reluctantly. They could have killed me very easily. It would be peanuts. But they said: "We, the Cali cartel, are different from the Medellin cartel.” They have highly educated people, U.S. graduates in business. So they follow the Italian Mafia concept of threatening and bribing, rather than killing.

Been in a LDR with this Colombiana since last June but would like to be certain she's not with me only for the visa or that she has a local novio too.

What are the best tricks in the book to test or catch her?

Am asking the mongers who have seen it all haha.

Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]Where to start? Long distance almost always never end up well.

How often do you visit her? Anything less than every other month and you get to "what's the point?"

Red flags:

1. Does she have facebook? If so, who are her friends? Prepagos? Gringos? Very bad.

2. Does she have a full time job? If not, what do you think she's going to be doing with all that free time?

Testing I normally don't like because it never ends well for a relationship. If you must, have a friend chat her up and see if she buckles.

Before you even consider getting her a visa. Stay for an extended period of time (maybe a month) and just observe for strange calls, hanging out with friends etc.

Good luck!

Thanks[/QUOTE]If you don't live in Colombia it's guaranteed that she has a local novio, one can't expect a young hot blooded Colombiana to go without sex and male companionship while you are gone.

That said, the way to find out is to befriend some local guys that know her but aren't that close to her and take them out partying on your nickel a few times and then sit him down and tell him you'll bring him a gift from the U.S. if he can give you proof of her infidelity, don't ask him to find out IF she is sleeping around, this will make you out to be a fool because even if you don't think that she is doing it, the local guy KNOWS she is.

Interesting advice Manizales.

In fact I befriended an American who got deported there a year ago and who's struggling a bit. Am sure he'd be willing to play spy game in Bocagrande LOL.
