When I did the 'April Fool' gag, saying I was closing CBF because it had run it's course, several bar & restaurant owners in Calis told me it quickly became the talking point in their establishments, within 30 mins of me posting it in some - people saying they should offer to take it over, or start a new one etc.

I guess even those who claim to hate it see its popularity :D

I think it keeps you going as much as it does for us Keith, what would you do, if you didn't have the forum to run, and don't say enjoy yourself, you must be one of Calis,s celebs, and rightly so. Alan

CBF is a bit like a life manual and like any life manual I guess it depends how often you want to dip into it. Some might only want a little info, others much more. And like a life manual sometimes because it is there it is a comfort, even if you no longer feel the need to dip into it.
CBF can save you money, save you time. It can help you make the right decision and help you avoid making the wrong one. It can improve you health and it can make you a laugh. It can prevent feelings of isolation and being alone. I think GOOGLE refer to the value of having a virtual community but one gets a sense that there is a real community as well.
Of course somethings it does better than others. Perhaps it is not quite as good as promoting the Turkish culture. Some might say it is parochial, though I would not agree. Perhaps lately the contribution from women has been less dominant than before, which is a bad thing, if true.
Overall I find it a really helpful and informative resource and would miss it if it was not there.
If the number of hits is a quality indicator then it is doing well and is healthy.

The forum is crap!





But the people and posts on it are great.
Sorry, just not a fan of snitz but I hear it will be foxed around with in a bit......
