Kibkom North Cyprus Forum

More forums are popping up and seems like they are trying to offer same services as what Kibkom is offering. If yo like what you see on Kibkom, then please get friends and relative to register, in TRNC and abroad. You support is much appreciated.
Regards,

Oh, forgot to mention also, that before I re-activated the Kibkom forum I had over 25,000 "members" - these were not members but spammers, which I had appropriately deleted. Some forums claim to have over 30,000 members and numerous hits - when you look at there activity there are only 3 to 6 members on at a time, er... something isn't quite adding up, me thinks.

I am happy here, everything seems to be working well

New here but verry happy. Fed up with having email every day about joining new forums and disclosing everyone elses email adresses rather then sending BCC i dont mind as mine is a business email, but some must be peoples private email adresses

Forgive me Soner, I liked your book, but I have to object to your comments about "cheap imitations"
Re : "Immitations" - Both Dan's "Lemon Grove" and John's "North Cyprus Views" were started on April 6th and 8th respectively, so to be immitations they would have to move very quickly.
Re : "cheap" - If you mean lacking quality, then I am clearly not a connoisseur of forums. Their members, of which I am one, seem to be happy.

I wish you the best Soner, as I do for Dan and John.

Hi Ian, what makes you think I was referring to the above mentioned? there are about 5 6 forums operating in TRNC. However, I will not mention names, and wish them all the luck as well. Competition is healthy.

HI I must admit to having a nosey at the other forums now and again, but overall I prefer the 'atmosphere' on KIBKOM. I find it very 'user friendly.

Blue Butterfly, you should get a star for that.....but unfortunately I can not manually dish them out.

Hi Marions, I agree, it will be good for us all to meet up, and to meet Soner, maybe he will sign my copy of THE GREENLINE, when I eventually get it. I don,t think it would be a good idea to show my photograph, don,t want to frighten anybody of a nervous disposition.

Blue Butterfly, with a face like mine on show..... you have nothing to worry about. I've already scared half the nation off.

come on Blue Butterfly, why not just put a picture of a beautiful butterfly!" \But of course when it comes to picnic time all will be relvealed, unles syou wear a mask!

I have also looked at other forums, but this one seems to be the best out of the 3, i just hope the mean people stay away.

Don't worry, moderators will keep a close eye...

Don't worry, Numpty, we all are nice people on here, and if any nasty ones come on, zay vil be shot at dawn!

I met Soner, when he came over to launch his book The Green Line, Holiday in a War Zone. We had chatted on the old 44 and we helped each other out on a couple of things.
Soner donated a signed copy of his book as a prize for the fun run. He returned to the UK and offered £100.00 donation to SPOT / KUSKOR with additional offer of him designing a new web page for both Spot and Kuskor, free of charge, so that both charities could be in the position to accept on line donations from anyone anywhere in the world who wished to help. This web design is I understand now in the pipe line.
When we spoke after Soners return to the UK and we mentioned that Forum 44 had closed down, Soner stated to me that he had set up a forum about two years ago, however, as 44 was going so well he decided to put it on the shelf , as he did not want to step on Forum 44's toes. I think this illustrates that Soner is a decent sort of guy, coupled with his other offers of help to a charity here. On top of this Soner has said in a previous post that competition is a good thing and he has also wished the other forums good luck.

Everyone is a free agent and can join any forum they like, I will probably hang in with one or two, just so I can keep up to date with the news here.

I would like to thank Soner for his speedy reation to offer the members of the old 44 an alternative,

I congratulate him as being one of the very few who actually try to put something back in, in a place or a world where everyone seems to want to keep taking out! Good on you Soner.

Phil

Three cheers for Soner.

Yes indeed - but he could become a victim of his own generosity, cos I am hoping he will be here in November and he can be one of Ann's victims on The Weakest Link - then everyone can see him, (wlel those who don't get to the picnic, or maybe those who get to the picnic will want to see him again.
Sorry i am a bit off thread here, but this is just to prove that soner is neither 'cheap' nor an immitation.

So all together now start singing 'For he's a jolly good fellow'.

By the way, I see that there is a competition on another thread where one is asked ot vote for the best successor to Cyprus 44 and wo uld you believe Kibkom is NOT on the list! they don't know what they are missing.

Thank you for the kind words. philyesil & Marion.

No need to play silly games - I am trying to run my business as this is what it is, and if it helps others in the process then all is well and good. I do not wish to be on the the Embargoed list of "which forum will win the battle of the forums" - I'll happily sit back and let them get on with it, whilst I concentrate on my businesses that have been established for 12 years now and have been growing quite fast over the past 2 years.

I sincerely do wish them all the best of luck - as I fully understand the pressures of developing a business. I believe there is room for everyone - besides there isn't just one bank or just one restuarant in the whole of the TRNC is there?

Regards,

Yes Soner and that is why I did not propose the name of KibKom. they are asking for any other forums to be put on the list, but I agree with you, it is not a competition , it is merely for people to go where they choose. As you say, plenty of banks and restaurants, and come to that dress shops (far more in my line of things!) and as my beloeve always says '#People should have a choice' - at least he said that when I was a political candidate in Somerset with a certain knowledge that I would not win!
