Who owns this forum? Jan 05, 2009
Is it owned by foreigners? Emiratis? Other Arabs?

Who exactly is the owner and why is it that a forum on Dubai hardly has an Emirati member. There are probably 3 or 4 Emiratis I have seen here, while perhaps a few hundred foreigners, mostly Westerners, loiter around.

What is the reason?

How do you know the nationality of all the members here? Anyway, most Emiratis speak Arabic as a first language so it would make sense if they spend more time on Arabic forums.

Good morning everybody, correct me if I am wrong, this forum is not only for fights or counting how bad is Dubai ( I think Dubai has so many advantages as well, not kissing As*** its what I think).
I think the forum's goal is for people to exchange opinions and knowing others and and transferring experiences, ( I am not gonna mention the Romance section :D).
have a nice day to all,
M

You are such a jolly good chap.

Yes. The whole point is that people start a subject and then it is discussed. Sometimes with an element of whit.... sometimes not.
Yes indeed, sometimes people disagree and sometimes there is a bit of cyber fisticuffs (Queensbury rules, of course).

It is lovely here. Have a wonderful day also. :sunny:

You can expect more on this line of thinking from the OP......he's just sorting out which is the most from his list of questions....

You could mentally put yuorself back in your home country. When you sitting in internet, visiting sites, discussing things with your friends.... whose from same country.

Would you have an interest to visit expat forum diticated to foreingers, when you have many interesting forums in your native language?

To all the idiots railing about an ordinary question, nowhere does it say that this is Dubai Expats Forum.

You should have named it thus if you were to dedicate it to them. Moreover I had the impression the language of business in UAE is English, which would mean quite a few Emirati brothers would be conversant in English (and Arabic).

And none of you answered the question. If you don't want to, you don't have to post.

Dresden, is your village empty now? Or only lacking an idiot?

Is it a forum dedicated to Expatriates? Does it say so?

A very fair remark, sir. It is not declared as DEDICATED to Expatriates forum. We could assume Expatriates as a part of this forum which is deticated to DUBAI LIFE. Where most people are foreingers.

Well said Navigator brother.

One would have thought that more Emirati brothers would be present in a forum on Dubai, more than it is now.
