Not too long ago there was a post asking what happened to the forum over at Gringos.com  
I just wanted to pass on to those interested that the forum is still active and there was a recent decision made by the administrator.

Quote:
A decision has been made, as of today (Dec 18th), we will accept new members without verification.

One more option for those interested in LA.

I've been a member of Gringotalk since September 1999 and I haven't been able to log on for several months.

I'm not sure if you were aware that Gringotalk was hacked into which resulted in a lot of damage a few months ago.  Since that time the passwords were changed and supposedly every member was to have received an email asking for verification then sent a new password.  You probably did not receive your new password.  If you email them I'm sure they would be happy to send you the login information.

Gringotalk???
I purchased the book pre August 2000 and found it informative and a good reference source at that time in preparation for my first trip to Colombia...
Used the message boards and found it to be very helpful...
In August 2001 I was required to re-register and had my account re-activated...

Gringotalk then seemed to die a slow death with very little participation etc...

In March/April 2004 I receive several messages "welcome back to Gringotalk" etc...

I re-register, participate, behave myself, then out of the blue I get booted out of the group.

I then receive a message from Gringotalk asking me for my driver's license number, SS#, DOB, etc...

We all can see where that was going...
