"And by the way I have been banned from Posting on the Viva Board. Apparently a rattlesnake has threatened the owner of the board and instead of getting a shovel and copping off its head or simply ignoring it they have decided to cower and hide in their house". Welcome to the club Vince, The problem with San Carlos is the Viva San Carlos site and the person who thinks he is King. Seriously prior to George Gadsby we had a few problems and we worked through them. Since George has been jackbooting around town San Carols has gone downhill. People read the viva board and think its a hick town and never come back. The viva board is the snake pit and should be closed down. Investigatre George Gadsby snd you'll have nothing but lies. But it would be worth a read!

Why is there a post from George offering you $5000 to not continue forward with your investigation? Were there any comments on your video? I do not see Georges' offer any more on vivasancarlos. Last edited on Thu Feb 16th, 2012 12:36 am by Eire |

Shipwreck, you are totally wrong. Vivasancarlos had been completely highjacked by a vicious few. Alex's English was not adequate to understand the implications of some of the posts. The Board is much better than before. I know many people who had stopped reading it prior to George becoming involved. The hatred spewed was sickening. I don't know George personally but I do know that when he freezes a topic, it is because some people have started to post rumor and innuendo that could cause serious harm.

Ship Wreck, you are wrong, George had nothing to do with it. Alex was approached by someone representing a certain family in San Carlos and he was threatened with a law suit if he allowed my to post on Viva thus I have been banned from the Viva Board.

That video of the guy on the caracol on you tube is the man accusing two women here in san carlos of beating him up and threatening him. the video clearly shows the guy is the one who has lost his temper. Is there really a post on Viva that says George is offering 5000 dollars, I find that hard to believe but if you could send me the link I would appreciate it. If I had half a brain I would take it!!! LOL

Ballenamar, I guess it is good to know who your friends really are. So you think Susan and I went looking for this, when all that was being done, was putting up a fence. So how would you suggest we avoid lies and arrest, when on our own property, minding our own business? If this is viewed as asking for it, then I am very mistaken in why I am even here. I have done nothing to provoke this family, and do not appreciate them telling lies and making false claims against us. "how to avoid the legal problems in Mexico" write the book, Bill, and you would make a fortune.

A book on "how to avoid legal problems in Mexico" would be a VERY short book, indeed! I guess I'm most curious as to whether the plaintiff was able to show physical injuries (cuts, bruises, scrapes?) to the police or whether the police just took his word on the alleged "beating"? I expect the plaintiff's family was in complete agreement with his story and came forward as witnesses. But what about physical evidence?

You are going to love this one. He never even made a complaint with the local police. He claims that the beating took place before the police he is argueing with (in the video) ever showed up. In the u-tube video, he has on a clean pressed shirt. and no marks or disheveled hair. He never filed a local complaint, he never went to the doctor, because it never happened. His witnesses are his wife, who has since left him, and his sister's workers, who refuse to go to court to say anything, because they do not want to go to jail for lying. There are warrents for their arrest to testify, but they refuse. They are in hiding, as is the person who accused us of being somewhere we were not. He left in November, to avoid the arrest warrents that are out for him, in another matter all together. (nothing to do with our law suit). Isn't justice wonderful?

That is certainly not correct on any of my posts for viva. As an ex moderator of a forum I never posted rumor or innuendo on any thing. I always posted truthful information. I don't think George has an honest or consistent policy regarding what he freezes or deletes. I believe it is based on his subjective opinion of the post, which to me detracts from the forum itself. It certainly was worse before George stepped in but I feel he has simply made it less worse and not really that much better by over editing or freezing posts he disagrees with. But this is really no big deal since it is the nature of the game with just about any online forum. Last edited on Thu Feb 16th, 2012 04:03 pm by Vince Radice |

As difficult as it is, it is always better to try to keep the emotions out of the forum and save them for private messages and try to base any post or opinion on confirmable information. That said it is hard to not get emotional when you have been accused of a crime you certainly did not commit and could face a stiff fine and jail time if found guilty. So ya guys you should private message each other for sure and not let this thread fall into what the old viva san carlos board was. As Joe Friday used to say in the classic dragnet, Just the facts Ma'am here is some solid gold to make you feel old http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVkZZsS-66c&feature=related

We politely declined to participate in one of George's upcoming events. Now, he takes our posts down on the main board and moves them to the "Siberia" of the entertainment boards. He does this to us, but allows bold type on the main board for anything at La Palapa. He says it's different because La Palapa is an advertiser, but then so is the venue we perform at. We personally send Alecs $50 when we can. We usually gross $200 a month, we're not doing music for the money (and pay Mexican taxes monthly!) but it appears for George that is not enough for fair exposure. Sad.

Ya that is pretty much the way it is. It´s their way or the highway. That is the realty of that forum. It is sad that they don´t see the broader picture. I think if there was less editing and more promotion of that forum Alex could actually make more money off of it which is the point of the site. It is a commercial site not a public service and I guess it is Alex´s only source of income so you would think that he would be constantly trying to improve the manner in which the forum is operated. I should have part one of South of Border Land of Disorder documentary done in another couple of weeks max. It is a real shame the actual number of land fraud cases being litigated in this town at the moment. The more I learn about it the more I lament for San Carlos. I truly believe one important factor that has held back this town from developing is the fact that you have a very good chance of being ripped off and frauded if you deal with the wrong people and the wrong people never seem to go away and never seem to get punished. We are gonna show in this next documentary that at least for one bunch of crooks the party is finally coming to and end on at least one of the many crimes they have committed. They continue to attack me and threaten me but unlike Alex I do not take their threats seriously. In the end their pack of lies will be exposed for what they are.

I don't think I am wrong, I think everyone has an opinion on how George relates to them on a personal scale. Vince, It has been widely said that George was his own hacker and rather than behonest and admit to his errors he lied and banned people claiming they hacked the forum. SO as a former moderator would you please tell us how easy it would be for a novice forumee to hack Georges forum? From what I have been told it is vertually impossible without passwords and the forum provider verifying you are the owner administration of the forum. Secondly, Yes it is alecs forum but George has insulted and defamed so many residents with his false accsations and dictatorship that alecs feels infereior and George has taken over. I for one would like to read an interview on George and let him post the names of his so called attackers. Because so far he refuses to say who his hackers are. You your self have said, people refuse to talk because they're lying or dodging the truth. Leslie did you really think George would stand up for anyone who he wasn't rewarded by? Rewarded yes ask when La Palapa last charge George for his snacks and refreshments. Short answer is he doesn't pay its his take of vsc. Besides you and Bobby don't need George and his kind, music is the food of the Gods and George is walking with the Anti Christ.

One needs to ask the question: Why does this forum (San Carlos Forum)run so smoothly without the "banning" of people and without hackers? What I don't understand is why people continue to patronize VSC and why it continues to operate. A lot of credit needs to be given to Bart for his even handed management style. Any comparisons between the two forums simply serve to point out the excellent way in which Bart runs his board. Rather than frustrate myself with the high handed tactics at VSC that serve no-one but the manager's ego, I prefer to be thankful for Bart and what he has done for this community.

I doubt it was a novice that hacked the viva forum but it is not virtually impossible to hack anything on line. Just google anonymous. I actually think it is possible to hire someone online to hack for you. I spoke directly to a company in Canada that was hosting the south of the border forum which I got taken off line. The big mistake the hacker made, and what makes me think he hired someone to hack viva, is that he posted a comment on sancarlos.tv claiming to be george. What he didn´t realize is that anyone who posts on a wordpress blog will have there IP address revealed. I simply looked up his IP address and contacted the host providers who turned out to be a company in Toronto Canada. I got George to contact them as well and the forum was taken off line. I also told George that if it were me and this person had slandered me on line that I would have hired a lawyer and made the IP Service tell me who owned the site. George says he has narrowed down who he thinks the hacker is to two people. I personally don´t care anymore and will never use Viva again. Bottom line, anything on line can be hacked if you really really want to and I suspect that someone really really hates George´s bedside manner and did just that.

It is evident from the questions on the Viva board about "policy" that some of the participants are begining to "wise up" to the self serving actions and associations of it's Moderators. This is nothing new; it was evident at least 7 years ago ( pre-G), and of course , has increased. However, no big deal, and it has value in that it keeps us informed about what is and, who is not so good, in SC and allows us to more appreciate all the good. Hope these guys will square their act up in the near future. Please note: I have no grudge against Viva, that went away many years ago. The purpose of this post is only to keep others informed and to improve the reputation of SC. Last edited on Wed Feb 29th, 2012 02:30 am by Inde |
