Hold it right there people! What's the point of nagging?

The fact that so many members are uncontrolled and this site ended up just fighting because of all the repeated unpleasant insults and bad words people use all the time here! this site is already big and the admin has difficulties to control every single words the member has to throw to each other! and some are feeling too important in this site regards him/herself has a power to control whoever he/she doesn't like among the members. So what's the fuss if we find somewhere else to go which is not yet so crowded, new and fresh site? people should respect other peoples choices! we're not saying we would leave QL, but whoever want to explore somewhere else should not be judged. This is our home and fortunately we found a new home! so we should regards each other as lucky that Qatar society is now progressing! Having different useful informative sites should not be regards as competition! "Al Hamduli'Allah"

Thanks and Have a nice day to everyone!!!

Nope at all u can go there and try it ur self .. or ask the members from QL who joined QP .. Mystica, han19, spiedy and DaRude

and Why u keep bothering urself if u Don't Care??

Man they r not harming u .. wut's ur problem ??

It's exactly what I said before that membership are free, so what's the fuss all about? We're not doing business here that we charge less than the other company! People has their own opinion and point of view and only you, yourself can make decisions on what you want to do!

Buddy! you shouldn't have change your nickname there! I used the same nickname and avatar too!

"I guess after they uncensored QL it would be so rude from us to censore THEIR forum."

Don't count on it. Dohamap-dot-info tried exactly the same marketing tactics - lots of comments mentioning a competing site, and were rightly stopped. It's just spam. And dohamap never stooped to unsolicited personal messages and classified adverts.

There have been exactly the same adverts on filipino expats and urban planet. I guess you're spamming every Qatar forum you can find. Grim.

First of all: Some member here were bothered of such thing .. may be not u but u r not all.

Second: that's not my site: i'm just a moderator there.

Third: If u don't care that doesn't mean that NO ONE CARE .. speak only about ur self .. cuz if no one care there wouldn't be this thread caring and asking about Qatar Point.

Fourth: for censoring Qatar Point .. Qatari is the only one who is able to reply .. but i guess after they uncensored QL it would be so rude from us to censore THEIR forum.

Fifth: if u r annoyed enough DO NOT read this thread again .. just ignore it.

Sixth: I never offeneded any one in this website so i guess i don't deserve the way u r talking to me .. DO I?

By anonymous• 13 Jun 2007 12:55

they r not running by the same admin or it wouldn't be censored in da begining ... Don't worry buddy ..

By ngourlay• 13 Jun 2007 12:53

why would we be bothered? The site you mention has only just been launched, seems from a quick google search to be spamming every other middle-east forum with adverts, and it seems to be populated by two people pretending to be many more.

No one cares here what happens on your site, unless you have something interesting to share. Do you have any interesting content to share from your site Ram? Or is it just another discussion board with no distinguishing feature?

Please Qatari, can we have a filter for Qatar Point - it's just annoying spam.

By anonymous• 13 Jun 2007 12:51

Please confirm, "QATAR LIVING & Qatar Point are not running by the same admin?"(just wondering) LOL , you know sometimes it happens!

> Do companies etc pay to advertise on the QL site?

> I'm not sure how this works.

Google supply the ads, and they pay Qatari a small amount for every ad shown, and slightly more for every click on an advert. I don't think it will be a lot of money, but every website costs money to run.

By spidey• 13 Jun 2007 11:21

those advertisement u see is their sponsor, and i think they are paying some dues for that.

By jauntie• 13 Jun 2007 11:17

:o)

I suppose the advertisements which I see at the top and down the side of threads (for example) which often relate to the subject matter just pop up there because there is some software which searches it out and pops the ad in.

My brain hurts ... think I will have a cup of coffee and finish my book lol

Do companies etc pay to advertise on the QL site? I'm not sure how this works. If they DO then I guess QL wouldn't want to lose their revenue to another Forum.

Like I say, I know nothing about this sort of thing, was just musing.

QL word or website is really censored there in Qatar Point

and i asked the administrator to play the game clean if he wanna play it .. and he said that he didn't do that it might be the director and he said that he will check that and he apologized for it .. he is a very nice man i guess

Han19 ur word will not be censored unless u typed the full word as "Qatar Living" not only QL .. and as i saw u r always using the QL as ref. to Qatar Living so it is not censored ..

Qatar Point is a New Website .. and it's doing well as the members are increasing .. it's a clean competition .. and wut is the problem to be active in 2 forums .. it doesn't harm any at all..

and to be the town talk .. i consider this as signs for a big future ..

DaRude: Nike and Addida r some times sold in the same shop for one sponsor .. Nike does not harm addidas nor addidas harm Nike

Nike is Nike and Addidas is Addidas .. Live and Let the people Live ..

if any one is interested to visit the forum here is a link for it ..

See and Judge www.qatarpoint.com my Nick Name there is Little Guitarist .. see u here or there

really e46, i registered there as han19 and did mention Ql, let me see if they deleted the term today.

thats spoilt sport, if they dont allow Ql to be mentioned.

I feel we should be sportive enough to help and assist as a real community if someone does need help there.ofcourse, this applies if we have time for it.

I dont think QL members will just get up and become active members of that site, it takes a lot of work to make a site like QL and dedication of lots of members to make it successful. I have stated the similar over there too.

there is a reson most of us come back to QL. Qatarpoint needs to tap into that first.

but honestly, that site does look pretty, i liked its apprearance and lots of features that they have.

time will tell.

happy heart

Well, han19, you make a good point about QL's lack of insecurity which can't be said about QP since the admin there won't allow the name QL to show up apparently.

Another forum? I couldn't be bothered.

boys and gals, if you can manage two forums at the same time, then i see no harm in joining another site.

i was a member of QBB too, and although Ql gets boring at times, i keep coming back to QL.

i dont have the patience for two forums.

QL is not insecure about its members.

if Qpoint can do the same as Ql or even more,then why not, its all about sharing information and interraction, isnt it.

but i love QL

she mentioned Qatar Living in her profile so it means if not for QATAR LIVING she will never find out Qpoint.

Take it as a healthy competition, if QL member wish to join another site and see which is better, then it his/her choice, no harm done right?

QL already established as QATAR ONLINE COMMUNITY so no worries about having a competitor. No need to curse QL Member who wish to join there and besides they are promoting QL there ;-)

PEACE

Sneaky underhand tactics. They post in the forum, in the classifieds and now PM members. It's like Nike distributing flyers at an Adidas shop.

That's QL. I had a look at this new one. It is still young and ambitious. They want to become the first forum in Qatar. I guess they will have to wait for a looooooooooooong time. Anyways, I wish them good luck.

May the roof above us never fall in, and may the friends below never fall out!

It is a totally new site. I got the same message from somebody who is a very active QL memeber and known to me personally.
