Hello and welcome to the discuss cyprus forum

This forum was created because of the need for there to be a place where Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot and others can discuss issues related to Cyprus and where those that wish to have such discussions can be protected from an extremists minority that wish to undermine such efforts.

It is early days in the life of this forum. It still has many rough edges and very little content. With your input and support I hope we can build it over time into a useful resource.

I think you need to specify that English is the default language Erol. Greek and Turkish and other languages are permitted so long as an accompanying translation is present.

Erol,

It would be better if some rules were put in place soas new members come on board they know what the score is and at a later date they do not feel betrayed when the rules have to kick in imo.

Another thing i thought would be good is a seperate section at the top of the forum called "Introduce yourself" it was a good idea by jimmy and i have seen it on other forums and every new member has to write something about themselves before they can carry on in the rest of the forum.

I think a sticky would suffice, otherwise as Erol said we'll have too many sections...

Just a sticky one, if at all necessary.

I made the experience that forums with to many sections are very uncomfortable for readers.

Alright the democratic decision has been made. Very Happy

Hello,Erol,I am not sure if this is the right thread for this but here goes:
I was delighted to discover Cyprus-forum where all who are interested in finding a peaceful solution could bring their arguments.I have just discovered Talkcyprus and from a quick glance I can see there are some IDs from the other forum,and some new ones.I am curious about what led to this "breakaway" if I can call it that?Do we have to make a choice now as to which forum we use?Is there a silent code regarding this?I would appreciate some guidance on this.Thanks Confused
