I've been having a hard time adjusting to the new board. As a result, I don't check it near as much as I used to. It's probably just me but I found the old board more inviting and easier to read. I'm trying really hard though. As a side note, Rob, do you know if the construction at old FOR REAL?
Edit: I just switched to the green/black mode - hope this helps me.

Yeah I know but just the other day I was thinking of FF Cindy,Rizzla,Vinnie,Rasta john,SiS Irie,Martin and his pics of Red Stripe caps (RIP),Fat fish,and many others.Seen alot of change here.I just feel the board was more laid back.Don't get me wrong I still enjoy very much sometimes I like to read the newbie reports and think back to my first couple trips and the adventures.The board can sure educate people on the runnings in negril that I am thankful.
This board helped me decide to go to Negril, and helped me enjoy all it had to offer. A complete stranger can go to Negril and meet up with other boardies and instantly be part of things. How cool is that? I am very thankful for all that is offered here.

In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say."
For those that have passed we raise our palms to the sky.
Many of those who simply no longer post here, including some mentioned by Biggs, can be found on facebook or other forums.
The only true constant is change. This board in whatever form, has been an almost daily part of my life for over 13 years.
Thanks Rob, see you soon.
Bless...

Things do change and sometimes a rest is as good as a change, meaning that some do come back after a 'hitatus of sorts'. I also miss the boardies who have passed on, the familiar names mentioned above, who were here daily to post of their adventures. We all grow as this board has over the years...and I have also been here since the beginning.
I have posted many trip reports over the years...my style of reporting has probably changed, as I have throughout the years. There are many other avenues for Negril regulars and some have chosen those. What I love about Negril is there are always choices.
Thanks Rob for all the years
I think a lot of the oldtimers have actually learned and shared everything they ever needed to know right here on this board and I have personally seen a lot of them here buying land purchasing homes building homes.
So this is where they are all hiding they are in Ja for real and less on the boards.That is my conclusion from what I have seen and heard.

I learn so much from this board. Thanks for everything Rob.
it seems like photo posting is down a bit....and I also miss the "old day stories" that were abound, but time struggles on...lol

"YES,THAT WOULD BE MINE" I said as my leg that at first gave no pain, started dishing it out in large bunches........"
want more read our blog? our first trip.........http://negril.com/forum/entry.php?58...-The-Beginning
Man, I have been thinking the opposite! I have to find time this weekend to catch up on the trip reports, onsite & off! Sweetness, Sprat, TicToc, Clarity & co., poolguy...etc.
Things and people have changed, that is for sure. SO many awesome new contributers!
This gave me a giggle - "I just feel the board was more laid back."- because I found the board informative yet frightening back in the day. I lurked for quite sometime, didn't join until some changes were made! It seemed very "cliquey" and people were often mean to "newbies", their questions were to stupid to answer etc. It didn't always feel like a Negril message board.
Everyones perspective is different I guess
