I wonder if the mods/admins would consider an e-mail pals introduction service.
I have over the years read several posts by particular people and thought that I have something in common and would like to know them better.
I know you introduced the 'Chat' but most times I logged on there was no-one from the Costa Blanca forum and anyway in the General Forum I could not type fast enough to keep up with any comments.
Again I know about PM's but you do not know whether when you asked or replied to a PM whether the the recipient wishes to enter dialogue on other matters e.g general exchange about benidorm or trivia of your own life.
I, for one, would welcome being able to hear from and e-mail to other members knowing it would not be an intrusion into their privacy. I appreciate there may be problems under the Data Protection regulations.
In it's simplest form, a list could be compiled of members who wished to participate, perhaps with some other details of interests or ages and after initial contact personal e-mail addresses could be given.
A pen-pal type contact would be ideal for me where I can type at my own pace and reply when suits or when I have something to say.
Is it feasible? Would others be interested?
Helen
P.S.One problem I can see that is everyone who participates would like Sanji to be their pen-pal!

Good idea! I for one would be interested. I'm another one who can't type fast enough for chat rooms...... Linda x
I'm a fast typist but I would still be interested as I haven't mastered getting in the chat rooms yet.
Hi Helen, What a lovely idea, I already have a lovely email pal whom I met on here. We have been emailing each other now for almost 2 years on a regular bases. We chat about our families and everyday things and also send pics to one another too. We have never met but just seemed to gel and both feel as though we know one another. (No it's not Sanji although we sometimes have long natters on the phone. )
Unfortunately the various search engines picked up on these resulting in members receiving unwanted spam in their e-mail accounts.
For that reason, we stopped this facility and re-introducing it would not be a wise move in my opinion.
Those members that wish to communicate off the forum can use the Chatroom or perhaps could exchange their e-mail addresses via PM.

We used to have a general chat section that resulted in many friendships But also some disputes
Why not arrange a 'meet' in the chat room exclusively to your relevant forum E.G Costa Blanca? We do on the Goa forum, its certainly worked for us.
I have made many friends in chat and find it refreshing to talk in there. Its nice also to send and receive emails, but talking there and then is instant
Yes sunseeker, i have made lots of friends thanks to the chat room, like elli sed just arrange to meet in which ever room u want...I am a regular user of the general chat forum and it does not matter if you cannot type very fast.. we are very patient people in there..
as previously said by ellibee, sunseeker and curlylocksm a great place to meet new friends from all over.
