LA MARINA FORUM

It has been pointed out to me that for some reason one of the leading forums in the La Marina area have decide to have an attack on me and this website,I do not see why La Marina Fourm have decided to do this.

It is being said that I have no idea as to what is going on in Spain as I live in the U.K I can not see what difference this makes as I add very little to the site leaving it to the members to add what they feel is correct I would like to point out that I own a property in Quesada and lived there for 5 years.

As for comments that this website is not even in the same division as La Marina forum or that A Spanish Life is really so amateurish compaired to La Marina Forum is not a very cleaver statement to make.

But to answer as best as I feel I should.

A Spanish Life is a bespoke site coded in Ruby 3.2 (look it up) it has been designed as a Wikki site this means that its members can add properties events and even an advert, no need to send off stuff to the site builders.

It is a network of over 133 sites all offering tools for local people to have a platform.

Its Forum. Wall is the same as facebook, and offers a quick and easy system to use that is modern not like a lot of older forums.

As for La Marina Forum and other sites in the area most are templates that anyone can buy some can be changed but most can not.

All the tools that we do not have and La marina Forum can be added to this site, but not one of our tools could be added to La Marina Forum as its not a hand made site.

La Marina Forum is ranked 1,516,786

A Spanish Life is ranked 171,227

I think its a shame that La Marina Forum have decided to make these statements and I will have a think as to what I will do about it.


Steve

I've posted one comment on that forum an to be honest it seems abit of a old people's kind of place where they don't like hearing stuff.
I've always said as long as no one is trying to ruin anyone's bussniess or lively hood then you should be able to post what you want.
For one reason or another this forum has exploded in the last year. The forum you are talking about is very crap in detail, has no twitter or links to social networking sites that over 88% of the population use, may include Facebook, twitter, and one that is taking off really well in the states right now is a social site called My Life. Not available in the UK as of yet an requires a fee to join.
I think Spanish life is un touchable when it comes to any other local forums

To be honest if I was a website owner I couldn't careless who says what at end of the day it's all about views/hits and Howany people visit and how popular the site is. By the ranking it seems the other forum is way down the list.

The other forum seems to have some way of linking you to being the same person that started this off on there site posting as someone on there site

Yes I have seen the post. I think the Landlady can say what she wants and the others will follow

But I have answered what I was asked to do and I will leave them to sort out their problems.

Keep up the good work Steve!!!

We're right behind you Steve!!

Thank you very much for your support and I do agree with what you say Andi, I have looked into this a little more and checked as to who copied my post onto the other site but it seems to not be anyone from this site. Very strange.

I have also looked for the first time at La Marina Forum and see that it has some interesting toys on it, which if anyone would like we can add to this site, some of them look great and I can see them being used please let me know.
Just to finish off what was said about the difference between the two sites and how this one was not very advanced Paul who is the builder of A Spanish Life said "La Marina info is an
extremely basic MS Office-produced site running off GoDaddy's hosting and can be bought for a few hundred Euros" I will leave it at that

The other site /forum now has both the poster and the other showing as the same IP address there is a clear screen shot of it, how can this be if its not the same computer used etc?.
I ask this as I know nothing about how these things work

Commented 2nd Casa in La Marina 2012-09-15 17:03:19 UTC

We are with you Steve other site is a waste of space. If I post I do not exspect it to get moved thats what she does. Blasted cheek.

My understanding of it is that the IP address is the way the computer is linked to the internet, So if I go to an internt cafe and plug in my computer I will have one IP address if I then go home and plug into my server I will get another IP address so its not the computer but the link to the internet.

As a thought if there were 20 computers in an internet cafe then they would all have the same IP address (I think)

The other side of the coin of course is that you can be who you want on these forums, from old to young male or female.
Or I can be you 2nd Casa

What a shame Jan and her team have decided to bring things down to this level, I used her site for many years as did 3 of my close friends until something was said out of place and we were all banned.
This site does get a bit exciting at times and can be better than East Enders but that is what life is about. We are not at school now so can have our say, I can not recall anyone here crossing the line (too much)

Commented Dawn in La Marina 2012-09-15 18:14:49 UTC

How did you become " 2nd casa in Lamarina"?

As to the IP address this means the "other forum" is trying too fool there member's into thinking that there is a conspiracy against them linking/blaming this forum for it some very under hand goings on do you not think?

Commented 2nd Casa in La Marina 2012-09-16 11:33:35 UTC

Sorry for taking your name 2nd Casa

I was just showing how these things can be done.

Commented Tina in La Marina 2012-09-16 11:38:07 UTC

So please tell how its done ?

As for the ips etc it seems the "other place" has or says it has of linking the the two together thus making the source of it having come from the same perpetrator/s
does still seem that there is something not right going on and the member's are mere pawns (or should that be porn) in the game
