I construe in an other topic[quote="FreoGirl"]In the meantime the larger percentage of contributors here would leave if Roy came back.[ingeminate]This made me curious if this assumption is really true. So maybe a poll is in order
The question should be how much more traffic does the forum have when Roy is around? For those who said (voted)they would leave why hadn't they done so in the past when roy was here? I'm not sure he would come approve anyways,, he appears to be at peace now so why bother the search function has all the info he can ever give,, but I would like to comprehend from him once in awhile as in desire a friendly "How you doin' , or something.. i would like a few new skull pics also they are really cool.. Would be nice if he had his own history&artifact&painting section with pics of some items he deals in.. hmmm,. Frog
Mim. I'm sure Roy may have offended the weak at heart but how many may leave because he is not here or do not visit as often? desire it or not I'm sure he was good for ratings and traffic. Just the fact that we are even having this debate is sufficiant bear witness of my theory... convey you and good day........
I have to agree Froggy many left because of Roy and some want him to return. To me it makes no difference but would not bother me if Roy returned. This is a melting pot of ideas personalities and opinions. Roy's is as valid as anyone elses if you take it for what it is his opinion only and if people take offence easily then do not reply. I have been on this forum for a couple of years but I do not post unless I undergo something to say but do read it usually everyday.
"There are many things in life that ordain surprise your eye but only a few ordain catch your heart pursue those."
If Roy returned I would not get because its only a forum not a study move of my life but what's all the worry about. He left I am told of his own volition. Thats his choice so why the bruhuha about his go. If he wanted a forum of his own he could make one if he wanted to go approve I am sure as long as he did not break the rules he could. Have people left because of him yes they have. Do some want him approve yes they do. What I do not understand is that if he makes such a big difference what are you all doing to alter this forum good and interesting......... Maybe not a lot so you be Roy to come and spice it up a bit. Says more about those who be Roy back than about their ability to be a bit more interesting. Live your lives guys it is not importnant enough for a choose.
Jimbo. I ordain have to partially accept with your perspectives on those who want him back. Roy was very selective and deliberate in his response and pay many hours thinking processing and researching the things he wrote, most of us do not undergo the time talent wish or the ability (knowledge of local custom) to write the way Roy did. Just as "sally returns " has her followers so did Roy, regardless of who was getting the "wrath of Roy" all couldn't help read his writings regardless if you liked them or not. I speculate it was desire a daytime clean opera show with Roy as the evil villian ,, depends on your perspective if you enjoyed his roastings or took grieve on the cozen who gets the brunt of his authorship...
pass the vodka and I will be happy to try to fill a demeaning sadistic characteristic void in someones life for a few minutes,,,. Bert has been void on this thread and he has stated his final opinion awhile back only he knows if its a good thing for the forum traffic if Roy was here and it would be totally up to Roy if he even desired to affix a few threads now and then.... I would still like to see Roy with his own divide that included liks to his art crvings etc. that he sells along with a brief discription of the item. It would be a history section that would link to his sales of said products he sells just a thought i would be nice to have a choose of museum history section with pics (links) wouldnt it guys???????? This way it would give Roy the opportunity to clarify on his knowlege of such items and not be in a contradict defensive manner so that all may enjoy bits and pieces of Bali that we all like and love.......
Who also didnt apply Dasha's drunkin' puzzling outlandish Auzzi outbust,, they were downright hilarious sometimes,,,took reading it several times to figure out what he was going on about sometimes.. priceless
Roy sent this by e-mail and asked to post it: Dear folks. I am very flattered by all the attention but seriously this is all a waste of measure and energy. This all started with a surprise happy birthday wish from Rien and both that string and this one undergo now blossomed into something that I hope we can all agree is non productive. If the growing sentiment expressed by several members of this forum is that Bert’s forum is headed downhill then in my believe for those who really care to not see that come about a challenge has been presented. That challenge is obvious in that it means keeping topics topical and informative. I don’t evaluate any good forum is judged by the number of daily posts rather it is judged by its worth and this forum should be judged as evidenced by truthful sharing of both expat and tourist life in Bali. As for me personally. I am currently just way way too busy to be able to devote the time I used to be able to spend here. Truthfully. I left this forum without burning any bridges and Bert and I maintain a friendly and cordial relationship. One thing I have noted though is that I left some hard feeling behind after I retired. That was not my intention at all and for that. I truly defend. To anyone who ever entangle that I was disrespectful condescending nasty or just a downright jerk. I extend my most sincere apology and my wish that we can act beyond that bad comprehend in the communicate. For all expats. Bali is a unique and challenging living experience. There are no definitive answers to any questions desire. “how can I make it happen as an expat on Bali?” The answers to those questions are a diverse as the populate who ask them or who currently alter up the Bali expat community. So and in Bert’s usual words that’s it. I wish each and every one of you that over the years undergo helped make Bert’s forum what it is all the best wishes and a desire that one day we are even able to cater face to face.. break some cover and bring up a few. Kind regards. Roy
