I personally don´t like the use of real names on forums, we may know each other as friends but I cannot see the point of saying who is who to the world of 'lurkers'.  If we wanted to do that then there is no point in having a 'Username'.  I said this when this forum started and people from Tenerife forum were coming on here asking who is who and they took offence when I made the above comment but in the years we have been going I haven´t really changed my mind.

As far as posting what is on the other forum is concerned, I can´t see the point.  If we were interested in what went on there some of us (the unbanned) would go back, but as we haven´t surely that shows we have no interest in what they are up to and if they want to 'lurk' here to see what we are saying then let them.  They must have sad lives if they need that sort of thing to get a thrill!!

Paul Novak has been sentenced to life in tenerife in connection to his being a massive big head  . His lawyer maintains he is innocent and vows to appeal the sentence. Our Eva McKend has been following this story for us since the very beginning.

MONTICELLO, N.Y. -- Judge Frank LaBuda told Paul Novak he will never see the light of day as a free man again before sentencing him to life behind las americas bars.

"Your perfect crime wasn't so perfect," said LaBuda.

"This calculating sociopath got life on the beach which is exactly what the District Attorney asked for, exactly what the case called for and exactly what he deserved," said Steve Lungen, former DA and special counsel for the prosecution.

Did we not have a thread that descended into everyone going "I'm Spartacus" a few years ago??

 Forum etiquette for beginners

Online discussion forums are usually interesting and engaging because of the people who make up the membership base. However for anyone completely new to the scene, online communities can sometimes seem like a daunting mix of acronyms and inside jokes. With this post we hope to be able to give anyone new to forums or may be not as tech-inclined the basics on how get started off on the right foot. So if you’ve always wanted to take your hobbies and passions to the next level by joining an online forum but were always afraid of the pitfalls, here are some quick and easy tips:

• It’s OK to lurk, in fact use this time after making a screen name to look around and familiarize yourself with all the areas a forum offers.
  
• Find and read the forum’s posted rules, sometimes they are presented during registration, other times they may be posted in a sticky.
  
• If you have a burning question it’s OK to start off by posting it, but also look for an area for “introductions” if there is one available, introduce yourself and usually you will be met with welcomes. You may find that your questions may be met with more answers and engagement after introducing yourself as well.
  
• Remember the point above about familiarizing yourself with the forums various areas? They’re split up that way for a reason, make sure you are posting your topics and questions in the appropriate areas.
  
• Don’t sweat the inside jokes and shorthand that other members may have with each other, that kind of camaraderie comes naturally as you engage the community more over time.
  
• A forum isn’t a YouTube comments section, if you intend to be a member of the community it’s probably best to not attack anyone needlessly. Diplomatic, intelligent responses usually prevail.
  
• Help other newbies! Even if you joined a few weeks ago you probably have more experience than someone that joined yesterday. If you see a newbie not being helped with some basic stuff, and you know the answer, helping them out is a good way to promote a healthier forum.

"Diplomatic, intelligent responses usually prevail."
