Agree with all the comments. For some reason, most likely delusions self-importance, these people seem to have lost touch with reality. Just read a lot of the rants by the owner. He frequently posts his personal delusions as facts and woe betide any poster that disagrees. They have banned most of the interesting posters and prohibit the most interesting discussions, the content is becoming increasingly dull in my opinion. The most ridiculous thing about the site are the phoney stats about how many users are actually on line at a given time, always at least 50-80 phantom visitors at any given time. I guess the purpose of this is to make people think this site has more visitors and is therefor more influential, important or something. Very silly but very telling about the integrity of these people.

I totally agree that BA expats its biased, discriminatory and it misrepresents itself. The site is more monitored than Argentina during the military government, the manager allows personal friends to post adds on housing and horseback riding, yet canceling the account of many that do things for free. If he wanted to make money out of everybody then he should be transparent about it. It is embarrassing that some foreigners come to this country, Argentina and set up practices that are just a disgrace. I can guarantee that things are managed in a very shady way that st least in thenUSA would be considered highly discriminatory.in a nutshell there are other places to st information about Argentina that will steer you in the right way. Expats on Facebook is one.

Joined up to baexpathub already. Much better site. I hate the moody miserable people on baexpats. The new site has a much nicer design too. BTW I have been kicked off of there too! It’s a big club.

Hmm… my previous comment didn’t appear? Anyway, it was just to point out a very funny development on the matter: http://beertangosex.com/musings/from-a-seed-sown-of-pettiness/#comment-87

Oh, and there is another site as an alternative now, though it’s hopefully a little more than “just” a forum: http://baexpathub.com

Cheers.

Ha ha, just got banned for daring to ask why they deleted a post that gave an opinion their choice of restaurant for an expat meetup was very expensive! Thought that was hilarious!! So much for “community”, unless it’s the old soviet style “community” they refer to. Funny!!

..a heavily moderated and cliquey site.Some of the members appear to be cloned in order to better facillitate their semi-nationalistic ideologies,(rah!rah! Argentina!)and realty projects. Dubious website but sometimes useful for cooking tips.

..If you question the administration in any way, you will be banned. If you complain too much about Argentina, you WILL be banned. If you offend the owners in any way, you will be banned.They appear to have software that picks up on key words, or a lot of ad-men. When banned you will find your account cancelled without explanation. Sometimes I think this is a government sponsored site. It is suspicious in any case. In addition, the owners will advertise their own agendas without blinking an eye. There are numerous, numerous, expats who have been banned from this site.
