Talk:CouchSurfing

message: I wonder about this: "CouchSurfing as we knew it doesn't exist anymore."  Does this mean that it is now existing in *some new form*?  Such as in www.couchsurfing.net, which looks like a replacement site (or maybe it's just a knock-off ...)?
Hopeful.

replies: text:  No this was not the end. We will start again. Like Casey says, everyone has the Flame inside him. And what happens when many Flames come together? A big fire. Look at: http://groups.google.com/group/Couchsurfing-Phoenix - 194.7.156.55 09:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Until they give a detailed statement of what really happened (which they promised to issue by the end of the week) we can only speculate. From what I understood they were *a bit* embarassed to admit that they deleted the database by mistake and instead vaguely spoke about an avoidable crash. However, thats ok with me. Because they implied that it was their fault and didn't try to blame it on someone else. So, in the end what difference does it make if someone crashed the harddisk by dropping a bottle of beer on the computer (yep, I managed to do this once - killed the motherboard) or by accidently performing a drop command and delete the database. It was a human error, that happens... --Splette  Talk 22:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

text: All history now, thankfully - the site's up and running again, with some changes in process - nothing too major from what I've seen, except that the whole process of recovering the site seems to have drawn the community together more. --Singkong2005 talk 06:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

message: There is a mixed citation method which causes headache, and non-standard use of the note tag coupled with the ref tag makes it difficult to work with. the  template should be used on all references to format them properly, and they can be given a unique tag for multiple use with that, then use the  template to create the references list.--Crossmr (talk) 20:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, did you remove the references because of their formatting or because the reference itself was a poor source? --Splette :) How's my driving? 20:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citations need to be reworked 

message: The following below was added by 87.208.5.192 (talk), but needs verification, refs, and a total rewrite before it can be integrated into the article. As it is, it's unsubstantiated personal research and opinion. -kslays (talk • contribs) 17:51, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Abuse and crime discussion 

message: It is a fact that female members (and even male members) of CS have to be careful when contacting male members from certain countries. Citizens with passports from a large number of countries are not granted access easily into Europe or North America: it is very difficult for many nationalities to obtain a visa for the latter parts of the world. Many men on CS are out to charm female members from Western countries and will pretend to have feelings for them only in order to obtain luxury goods, visa, money, free travel, college abroad. The global rule applies: the best charmers are the best cheaters: a long row of positive references does not necessarily mean that that member is trustworthy in all senses.
This is not unfounded but based on many, many experiences of members thatI know personally and of myself. And actually one should consider "ignorant" the one that does not know this and the information could be regarded therefore as totally superfluous, but, still, it is good to warn those that never had any contact with people from "certain" countries before@!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.208.5.192 (talk) 17:38, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
