a) I found qatarliving BEFORE I came to Doha because I wanted to find out about sports clubs. I 'googled' and up came a thread from a year back in QL. On further investigation I discovered QL had various 'serious' forums where questions about just about anything to do with living in Qatar could be answered.
b) Although I have never had a problem finding 'parsley' ;o) I certainly wouldn't start a thread to ask where to buy it! However, I think there is a shopping forum here, so maybe if I was desperate I would ask there.
c) Having been off line for about 10 days I wandered into QL last night to see what interesting threads and discussion had occurred in this forum whilst I had been away. To be honest I wondered why I come in here at ALL!!!! (the company, of course). But ...it was a bit like reading a cross between a Teen Magazine and Old News items.
I think the problem is that people don't look in the right forums for the answers or don't use the search box on the site. Those options make more sense and would also make it easier to 'search' for stuff since the subject matter would be under the one forum topic.
Phew! Well, that's my 2 penneth until I return to Doha on Monday *S*
and all :o)
I think I have to agree with you Kelly.
