Forum exchanges are typically fresh and friendly. Searchable archives section, and a great place to post requests for information. The Bali Forum, hosted by Peter Rieger's Bali Villas staff, has been around for quite a while. It gets more traffic than the new guys on the block do. Large, searchable archive goes back a couple years.
Exchanges can deteriorate into spam wars between factions on occasion.
An excellent source of information. Search before posting questions, as many FAQs have lots of detail. Another fairly recent entrant into the Bali discussion field, The MMC Marketing Group , an Australian group which runs the Bali Paradise directory, and at least 17 associated reservations services, owns the site. There is a registration requirement to post messages, and the archives are searchable. Looks promising, and is seems to have a growing readership.
