Hi all, there are some changes coming up in the not too distant future, pertaining to this site. I know Irishman has different url's pointing to this page, but I want to make sure that everyone is pointing their web browsers to the one that will be continuing. That is www.chnromance.com

I don't know all the changes that are coming, but I can let you know that there is a change of ownership of the site. Irishman has decided that he is too busy to continue operating this page, between work and family, and so, I will run the site. I have always been the site Admin, but now I will also be the site owner. Irishman took to initiative a few years ago, and helped move us from our first home on Facebook, to this current format. For that, I am always thankful.

There may be some other changes coming, but for now, it's business as usual. The site will be changing hosting companies, which will hopefully be fairly flawless. I will update changes and information on this thread.

Martin

Martin and I will keep you all updated as we go along, hopefully it will be relatively painless!
We will be going back to the mybb forum type that we had before. This is easier to maintain and recently has come on a long way since we last used it.
Sunny and I have a lot going on in our lives. One toddler 19 months old and another on the way in January means my focus is changing in life and I don't have time between babies and work commitments to maintain this the way it should be.
I'd like to thank everyone here for the great advice back in my darkest hours starting this journey. Without you i probably wouldn't be here happily married with a house and life I would have thought impossible a few years ago!

To the guys waiting on their ladies visa's the, the endless wait will end, hang in there, the final reward is worth it!

All the best.
Become the change you want today, or all your tomorrows will be like yesterday.

19 month old and another on the way! He has been busy... Seems like just the other day I was reading about Irishman's trips to China.

All the best to you and Sunny

                As one who was present at your wedding in Guangzhou, I must say I am very pleased and happy for the two of you. Congrats on the new child on the way and best wishes for continued success and good health.

               Im back in Guangzhou and if you ever get back I would love to buy you both dinner and share stories.

Just to keep you all in the loop, the site is soon going to be moved. As well as moving, there will also be a new look and design. For the older members, it will be similar to the first forum we had. There may be a disruption of the site during the move. Please make sure you have your browser pointed in the right direction, so that when the move is complete, you will be able to access everything. Thanks for your patience....and if you aren't patient....blame Maxx.

What's the right direction?
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Yes, aim high...all the way to Canada. I saw a picture on Facebook once...it was a picture of North America. The heading was...America...Canada's toilet (on account of you guys being below us)

Gerry, the first post in this thread mentions about making sure your browser is pointing to www.chnromance.com. There are other url's pointing to this site, but that's the one that will be sticking around.

Thanks Martin.

BTW...Do you know why America doesn't float away into the gulf of mexico?











Because Canada sucks.
