Anybody ever come across a good discussion board for the mainland of Mexico?
Thanks,

Lots of options there. I will have to begin wading thru......expat2B - 10-10-2005 at 02:50 PM
I enjoy the BBS on the MexOnline web site (link below). Although it doesn't specifically target mainland Mexico, a lot of the discussion, including
feedback from long-term residents, seems to involve the states of Michoacan, Jalisco, Queretaro, Guanajuato, Veracruz, Oaxaca, and the D.F. metro
area.

Try: http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com (Mexico branch)
However, do a search for your subject matter before you post a question.Dave - 10-11-2005 at 09:16 AM
Mexconnect (before it went subscription) was the best. I don't know what it's like now 'cause I won't pay to join. ($2.50 per month)Spyderman - 10-16-2005 at 06:46 AM

I also used to frequent Mexconnect but quit going there some time ago- long before they started charging. There was good info to be found,
particularly from the lady lawyer in Morelia, occasionally from David Eidell and other "old hands". BUT, the moderators exercised very strong
censorship of any criticism of the Mexican government or any segment of the tourist industry. As I recall, the wife of a tourist guide who had been
badly beaten by employees of Mr. Frog's in Cancun,* was trying to find witnesses. She used her real name, answered all questions in a straightforward
manner and appeared to me, at least, to be entirely sincere and credible. But, they weren't having any of that, so any time any discussion of the
matter arose it got zapped. That's when I said goodbye and never went back.
