Title: The best thing about CBF is?
Post by: Scott and Lisa on August 26, 2013, 23:21:54 PM
ive just read a lovely post about how the CBF members help somebody plan there holiday, which got me thinking what i like about the CBF.

What i like best is...it seem that no matter how many times the same questions are asked (exchange rates, banking, transfers etc) we still receive many answers, and i would imagine the questions have been asked many many times, which allows newcomers to feel part of the forum, and not worry about asking what to some may seem silly questions, so thank you.

Thats what i like best......what about you?

1) The quick in-depth response to questons
2) The constant input daily to the forum, keeping it interesting
3) The tight moderating keeping it fair, balanced etc
3) The ability to keep up with what's going on currently in the resort/s.

CBF is great for keeping us informed about key events.  Everyone has a different point of view and this is shared with others with some 'leg pulling' (not literally) at times!  Just a great site to catch up with things happening in Calis and surrounding areas. ;D

It's always helpful, forever changing, very funny at times, sad at others. For me it's addictive and feels like a big family, but mostly it's full of very useful information. What would we do without it?

It's one of the best information resources on Turkey and the Fethiye area in particular, usually based upon peoples real life expereince and knowledge.

I also enjoy the craic with others on a whole range of subjects  :D :D

Not the best thing about the forum but I love how the members of this forum give generously to help the 3cs and other charities. Always ready to give no matter how many times they are asked and the help and support given to each other in times of difficulty.  It is like a family on here.. We would never have bought our place in Fethiye without the help we got 7 years ago..  AND Menthol love that as well lol.   ;)

I like the way that Scunner keeps pleading with people to use the Search button to find answers to frequently asked questions and the way people persistently ignore his pleas!

Yeah that's one of my favourite things too, along with people quoting the 5 posts above their contribution in their entirety like we haven't just read them 1" higher up the page 3 seconds earlier already.

I think my favourite thing about CBF is how we created a community where someone can post, desperate for something from the UK, or asking for help where a loved one has been let down or similar and a complete stranger comes in and delivers the goods  - and expects nothing in return at all. When that happens it really feels like we created an awesome website here.

The best thing about CBF is being able to keep in touch with Calis
when you are not in Calis (but yearn to be  :D ) But we am now  8)

I like the charity things, bozlan school gives me a warm feeling just thinking what the forum achieved and a bit teary eyed. The happy and sad story,s about dogs n cats looking for homes or getting rescued. Highlanders little quizes and fundnraisers. And of course the latest one from the man himself, although i,m too scared to ask him anything until his no alcohol ban is up.  >:(

 ;D.  8) ;D

Hi Boss.........I vaguely remember something about capital letters and shouting on CBF.  Have the peasants revolted and rattled the cage?  Ha Ha.  Just teasing!   ;D ;D

I like the fact I am in touch with the area all the time even when we are not there.  All the postings letting us know what is happening, what new place has opened, what place has closed.  Where the best shops are (my personal favourite).   ;)
I find this Forum invaluable for the best information about Calis/Fethiye.
I also love the spirit of everyone  getting together to making it possible for the 3C's to help local children.  I don't know of any other Forum so involved with members giving something back to the place they enjoy visiting so much.  :D
