Online forums especially these aimed for parents to seek support and advice from one another should, in my opinion, allow users to freely discuss any issue even if it is to direct them to other websites for more or alternative advice/support/etc. I do not believe that referring someone to another website would "send traffic" to competitors and as such reduce the number of people using Geobaby. Speaking for myself, I would even be more inclined to log into Geobaby if I know I would get not only the most relevant but most comprehensive sources of information. Indeed, but for Wee Kean's thread, I would honestly not access my Geobaby account as often as now (which is at least 3 times running to even 10 times a day!). I have even branched out to use GeoExpat Forums/Classified, as well as the Online HK Shopping.
A user of AsiaXpat, I have referred countless mums to Geobaby forums (as well as other mummy-baby forums) and the last I looked all these postings were still there.
It is my sincere wish that the administrators in this forum would understand that we - the mothers who gave up our careers to become bored, stay-home mums (LOL) - are here to gather ALL available advice to provide the best care for our babies and at the same time, set up a support group as we are far away from our home country. In this internet age, it would be fair and realistic to say that this would mean visiting all available web forums not just Geobaby.
Happy New Year to everyone too!?
