Sorry…I just had to do it.

Anubis · February 16, 2007, 3:52am

But it is! It’s your nine-hundred and seventy first post!

Elegua · February 16, 2007, 4:09am

You’re evil Dr. Evil

TainanCowboy · February 16, 2007, 4:17am

Ahhh…this is exciting!

Tigerman · February 16, 2007, 4:18am

So, exactly how far does Greater Forumosa extend? Any boundaries?

Does it extend to Chicago? Toronto? England? Korea? Vancouver? Estonia? Paris?

Hmmm.

Jaboney · February 16, 2007, 4:20am

Don’t go starting a constitutional debate now, tigerman. Greater Forumosa de facto is where it is. That’s all.

TainanCowboy · February 16, 2007, 4:36am

Satellite relay? That would extend its reach to the Exosphere.

the_bear · February 16, 2007, 5:16am

this is weird…what’s it all about? where’s the men’s room?

Huang_Guang_Chen · February 16, 2007, 5:54am

It’s about a voice for us “other” Forumosans.

Just as long as it doesn’t become Americ …er I mean International Politics, all should be well in the house.

almas_john · February 16, 2007, 6:23am

We should try to keep politics out of this forum. Stick to useful topics I say: best places to get a decent chota peg (gin and tonic), hiring sedan chair carriers, managing your servants and so on.

I think that this Forum will deal primarily with Forumosans in other expat situations, and with Forumosans transitioning back to their home countries. Does anyone want to try their hand at writing an elegant Forum intro for the index (short version) and possibly a longer version for the forum page itself?

tmwc · February 16, 2007, 7:36am

Dr Evil, I was here first but Maoman temped it.

MM: “Ex-Formosans don’t need to be ex-forumosans. This part of the site is for those of you who have moved on, gone home, or are contemplating doing so - now or in the future. ‘Greater Forumosa’ is proof that you can take it with you when you go.”

Doctor_Evil · February 16, 2007, 7:43am

Maoman recognizes quality and has excellent taste.

Elegua · February 16, 2007, 8:19am

Noooooo politics. I don’t want to even hear about Overseas Taiwanese politics. There are plently of forums for that.

I think Almas has got it. It should be a networking & information source for the Foramosan Diaspora who have a strong or permanent connections to Ila Forumosa but for career or other reasons have been cast out of the garden.

irishstu · February 16, 2007, 8:28am

Hey everyone! Get out of the way. I have something to say…

ahem

“Let me be the VERY FIRST to post in this thread!”

OK, thanks very much.
Carry on.

smell_the_glove · February 16, 2007, 11:35am

So does this mean we can post here when we travel?

Or are we still confined to Lesser Forumosa?

lurkky · March 18, 2007, 2:18pm

Do we have to adhere to a One Forumosa Policy?

Elegua · March 18, 2007, 3:21pm

Yes. There is only one site called forumosa. Those who try to split it will be cursed by history

Durins_Bane · March 18, 2007, 4:00pm

I’m just here for the freaky blue Tequila and cheap smokes.
