Koala Konnection is a web site with a forum but it's clear that general forums are great ways to get information simply too, by asking questions and waiting for a response. They're also a great way to get to know people in the same boat as yourself.

With so many out there now can we start a list recommendations and perhaps give some insight into why that is. This will, in effect, become a compilation of forum resources for us all to take a peek at.

Well, it's a tricky one, isn't it. I mean, here I am, I've thrown together a web site over a year or two and tacked on a forum and I'd really like to get the KK forum up and running. Which means the last thing I want to do is mention.... shhh.... the competition....

Coz there's a lot of the competition that hates me going onto their forums and telling folks about the KK site. But then there's a few that don't - and I'll support them because they support me.

I could name a handful that have removed my posts!!!! I've only been trying to help out and the moderators have swooped. Now I find it difficult to post, but I still do on occassion. Gill's taken to posting on a few of these swoopers, perhaps in a more womanly and subtle way?

Sorry, back to the plot.

Absolutely any forums other than the ex-pat type then. Car buying forums, fridge buying forums, you name it. Something that's new and useful.

Perhaps even a new and exciting link to a web site that hasn't been seen before.

Got any ideas Cath?
