"Going back to the Roots !" globetrott's Profile
This is some statistics-info that I copied from my dashboard:
On Dec 12th I started to delete ca. 3100 tips,
but on Monday, Dec. 24th I still was #1
.
so I deleted another 940 tips,
but remained #1 also in Dec. 31st, 2012.
.
Then another 1100 tips deleted and finally I became #2 !
For more than 6 years I had the #1-position here in VT, and now I am #2 !
No big deal, in the contrary:
In order to put some light on this matter I would like to say:
When I started VT in 2001 everything was different and I had the feeling it would be great to find as many places on the VT-map that nobody had written about and add my tips & pics there. There was even a “pioneer-badge” promised by the “mothership” already a long time ago for such places, but it never happened !
Even some "obstacles" were added for people with so many different places written about in a single continent – like me with 565 pages about Europe and other members like basaic with more than 1600 pages in USA, as you have to click on my European map + “view 100 more” + “view 100 more” + “view 100 more” + “view 100 more” + “view 100 more” in order to see ALL of my 565 pages about Europe. That is not very practical and everytime you click on any of these pages and step back you need to click 6 times again.
It does not help me in that matter, when they say, that most people will find my pages through google anyway, there are cases , when I talk to my friends and tell them to take a look at my Spanish pages, but they are at the very end of my map-list and they have to click 6 times.
This is why I started to cut down my european pages from 565 to 129 so far, deleting more than 5.000 tips and 12.000 pics although I was sure to loose my #1 position, that does not have any more meaning to me anyway.
In the contrary: Moving down will prevent me from adding any more tips nor will I do any repairs of my tips that I have moved from various smaller locations now to city-pages and country-pages, where they would need some changes in the text now of course.
In the future you will find me mainly in the VT-pub !

Hi there, please let me know when you are in Cape Town. I would love to take you out to Franschhoek and show you around. please e-mail me on my external email which is mv_wolfie@yahoo.com
Thanks a lot for that kind offer ! I am back from SA already for a long time !
Thanks for your answer to 'Renting a cheap flat in Wien or near'. I appreciate your advice.
#2??? You loser!! Just kidding. I've only begun to check out some of your pages and I'm quite impressed. You have more photos uploaded than I think I've taken in my life...and I've taken a lot. Great job with your pages!
Thanks for your answer to 'Visiting Genoa for a few hours from cruise terminal'. You've been a huge help.
Michael, I empathize with you. I've resigned myself to answering questions rather than posting, updating tips.
You're a wealth of information.

Hi Homer, thanks a lot ! Changes of bad things are good sometimes, but why changing something that worked well ?
Thanks for your answer to 'The man with no seat?'. I appreciate your advice.
Thanks for your answer to 'Weather in April'.
Strange things, indeed. Have you updated your question in Tech Forum? I tried to answer it and it says: "invalid thread". Did I see it already yesterday evening? System says it's written 3h ago. May be the answerer removed the answer, there might be a glich with remove (I test it some moment).
yes the answer was removed by the person who had posted it, BUT still it does not make a lot of sense, when VT allows to remove an answer, when the first few words of the answer can still be seen in the "last replies" of that same forum and on the members homepage !
haha, wow, amazing how many tips you deleted :) But you are and will always be VT's long-running number 1 :)
Thank you for accepting me as a friend
