Just on the same lines as Harold has said, this site is fantastic.  I haven't as yet met anyone that is a member although i did see Marie in July with her mum and we have e-mailed one another a few times.  Just a big congratulations and thank you to Dimitris for all his effort and hard work on keeping this site going.  I visit the site at least 5 times a day suppose it's our way of keeping in touch with Arilas.

Thanks

Lyndsay

i have read with interest for a while the veiws of people on this site. At first i found it very interesting and informitive. Recently i have noticed that people are using this site as an informal chat. Why not use the chat rooms, this site is surpose to be informing people new and old who come to this site on Arrilas. i have been reading more about people having friendly chats and diverting from the true meaning of the site. If you would like a chat please use the chat rooms as every time i have looked this room has been empty.

Hi Guest, Have tryed going into chat room a few time's and nobody ever there. If you read the whole site propely you will see that Dimitris had to put a stop to the old chat room as the wrong kind of people were joining in with not very nice langage or comment's. I don't know much about computer's, is there some way of letting people know you are there or do you just sit there all day and hope that somebody else might join you. Could you please advice. Viv

[Lisa and Steve]

I don't see any problem with using this facility as a kind of chat room.It is helpful and informative and after a while you feel like you actually know the people who use it regularly.Also for us who don't understand chat rooms this is much easier.

I have got to agree with the guest comments on this web page on how the content has changed recently of the Arillas Forum.  It has become more of a "chat place" for the few people who have met of feel they know each other through this site, to those of us who log on to read maybe the latest report, advice or new must do's or go too, it has become dare i say "very boring"!  When people have a private conversation in front of other company it is almost like people talking in a foreign language so you don't know what they are talking about! RUDE in every sense. May i say that if you have a private comment to make perhaps e-mail (if you don't know how to use the chat room) is a better option.

Sorry but I've got to get my tuppence worth in and also make a suggestion regarding some of the content of the posts as the 'guests' mentioned.

I don't wish to upset other members, but I have to agree with the anonymous guests. To make the chat room more user friendly maybe Dimitri could put a box on the Forum Index showing who is in it.  Hopefully this would encourage more people to go into the chat room.

Eileen i too have to agree with you and the two guests, it just had to be said!!! not to upset anyone but the point has been made. Hopefuly Dimitri will know of a way round this growing problem and peace will prevail.
