I truly enjoy reading a first timer's trip report especially seeing (Jamaica or Negril) with a fresh set of eyes. It is mainly because I marvel at how the "likkle tings" captivate and enthuse them when, perhaps, I sometimes have a more jaded view having gone so many times.

I especially love to read about the first time a visitor ventures out of the Negril "comfort zone" and goes to places like Black River, Mayfield Falls or exploring the caves at Roaring River etc.. There is more to Jamaica than Negril although Negril does have some very good points.

I think a lot of people peruse the board looking for familiarity with their trip experiences. This way they can help a future traveler avoid any mistakes that they may have made. Of course, everyone considers themselves to be a expert (even after only one visit! )

What this board does quite effectively is to help promote those businesses that are getting it right and allowing people to point out deficiencies when they exist without bashing. After all, you can't judge a poster by the quantity of postings but only by the quality. Some people have twice as much to say with only half as much information.

Peace and Guidance

I spend far too much time on here, don't know if it helps me get by until the next trip or if it is just plain torture to myself because I am not there

I won't admit how many hours a day I spend on here

I think Accompong has nailed it on the head, we are all looking for familiarity. We want to know that we are "getting it right" when we are there and looking for confirmation that we are doing so.

We don't want to miss out on a single thing that Negril has to offer and learning by others experiences is the best way to do that.

If it wasn't for this board I don't know that I would have ventured out of my comfort zone and had the experiences that I have in Negril.

I loooooooooooove this board

All of us at Negril.com have to say a big thank you to all the folks who have made our Negril Message Board the best single source of helpful, factual and useful information since it was created back on July 31st, 1997.

http://www.realnegril.com/beingees/nn310797.htm

Even back then there was so much interest in the board that we had to upgrade it nearly immediately just one week later!

http://www.realnegril.com/beingees/nn060897.htm

While we did go through some growing pains several years back, improperly allowing rumor, speculation, personal attacks and off topic comments to nearly become the norm, we have returned the focus of the board to its original intention - useful information about Negril and Jamaica! And since we have upgraded to the new board software just under two years ago (May 2011), we have almost 4300 registered members. This is over 300 more members than we attained during the previous 6 years of the old board (2006-2011).

And again we have all of you to thank - our great supporters who have provided others with such great information, making Negril.com and the Negril Message Board the best source of information about Negril available anywhere on the internet!

A big up to all of you! And thanks!

Hey Rob,
How does one unregister from the board? I have looked around and cannot find a way to do it.
