Trip Reports Forum

Mercy · 11-03-2006

Just wondering if a new forum could be started dedicated to trip reports. It would be nice to have them in one place where they are easy to find/read. They are some of my favorite threads, as they are packed with so much great information, and they are such fun to read!!

Just a suggestion.

go to advanced search, put trip report into the search box, select 'search titles' and submit it. You'll get exactly what you are looking for. that's totally easy.

Geee... how did I know someone was going to tell me to search... Search is fine... but it would still be nice to have a Trip Reports forum.

Good idea... than all those who don't like to talk about the weather could ignore that forum!

Mercy, I think that is a splendid idea! Trip reports are my favorite part of this forum, too. I remember a couple of years ago when this site revamped and upgraded everthing, including the addition of the 'Reviews' tab which I was psyched about. But it certainly doesn't seem like anyone inputs any information into that section. Anyone know the reason, people take 5 trips a year and still don't enter their 'reviews, what's up with that?
Anyway, good idea!

I think a forum for trip reports would be great.Granted you can do advanced search but theres a lot of old information on there. TOM

Exactly..buncha know-it-alls, you'd think that James guy owns the frickin' joint....

How about a Smart A$$ Reply to a perfectly intelligent question forum... This way you would know where to look for 75% of responses, And then a "Do a search Forum" for the other 20% of the responses...And then A "Playa Del Carmen" forum where you could get an intelligent answer!

Alot of questions can be answered without getting on the forum. The playa info. board has alot of information and facts on it. Just go to the home page. I've learned quite a few things about Playa this way. I think James, Anna and the staff have done a great job with this board.

James wasn't being a smart ass when he told you how to easily find trip reports, he was giving valuable info about a search tool that not everyone knows how to use properly (including me). We can't have subforums for everything, and I know that James disagrees that having a subforum for trip reports would be valuable. I didn't used to agree with him about that, but now I do. Trip reports contain a lot of general trip information and really do seem to belong in either the general forum or the All-inclusive forum.

Since we've had the new "Peep stuff" forum, I find that I rarely go in to check for upcoming peep meets.

I don't know why people get so bent out of shape when it's gently suggested that there are good ways to find information by using the search function. I answer questions all day long that could have been answered if only people would read the information I've already provided, but alas, not everyone likes to read things for themselves or find things. A lot of information is here and it's free and very useful. I'm as accommodating and helpful as I can be, and since I understand that some people are new to the forum or new to message boards, I am as gentle as possible in pointing out the ways to do the research for themselves. It's those who get all uppity because I have the audacity to suggest they do a little digging on their own. Forgive me if I don't want to do ALL the work of planning vacations for other people, but I'm far too busy helping our clients to do so.
