Forums & Lists about Belize: (March
2008)
Forums and lists are very dynamic sources of good (and
sometimes bad) information about Belize. Since I left Belize, this is
my best way to keep in touch.
BelizeCentralAmerica.
In lieu of a forum on this Website, I will direct you to this
Yahoo Group. You can still ask me questions directly, of
course. To subscribe, you will need a yahoo name, which can be
bogus. <grin>, My yahoo name is (of course) Senor Reek.
BZ-Culture:
A
widely diverse group of Belizeans, residents, and Belize-lovers, living here and
abroad, contribute items of interest and discuss them. Unmoderated. Some controversy. To subscribe, send the message "subscribe" (without
quotes) to bz-culture-request@psg.com.
Belize Culture: This
alternative culture list is moderated by Peter Singfield (see here) who fills
the list with world news which may be relevant to Belize (or maybe
not.) There are some interesting discussions, but there's also a lot
of crap. To subscribe.

email belize-subscribe@lists.belizeculture.com ..
Belize Forums.
One of the most popular places to ask questions, and
get answers. Heavily moderated. Don't say anything bad
about Belize or it may be deleted. (Much like AmbergrisCaye/forum, below.)
Belize-IT. An alternative
news and discussion list run by Wendy Auxillou of Caye Caulker. To
subscribe, send the message "subscribe" (without quotes) to belize-it@psg.com. This
list is currently inactive,. (Wendy is active on the other lists.)
 Bz-PoliSci.
A yahoo group which discusses political activities in Belize. You will have
to be approved by the moderator (my friend Trevor Vernon) to join. Tell' em Sr. Reek sent
you! (Click on the button to the right.)
New. AmbergrisCaye/Forum.
This forum, (billed as a 'message board') is really very local to
Ambergris Caye. It is heavily moderated by a team of Gringos who ensure
that controversial comments and topics are deleted quickly. Its agenda is
to sell San Pedro and it does that very well. Very chatty. If
you love San Pedro, you'll love it.
New.
Buenos
dias Belize FORUM. This forum was
established by John Payne after he was banned from AmbergrisCaye/Forum and
Belize Forums! (They suggested "If you don't like it here, go
start your own" and he did.) It is a very eclectic forum, mostly
about Belizean topics, with lots of cartoons, pointers to youtube, snide
remarks about the moderators on the other forums. John has two
pseudonyms -- Catweasel and Bubblebreaker. Some of the other
participants are ex-pats (like me) who tried Belize and now live somewhere else.
(John lives in France.) Some are absentee landowners, building in Belize,
waiting for a time when they can move permanently. I like this forum and spend a lot of time there.
