I like the visual simplicity of this forum. I think some of the others are a ghastly mess, frankly.
What's great about this forum is the variety of people and views, jokes and information. Great myths have been originated - Vlad the Black Dog - unfair distribution of Kumquat marmalade at Romanza - the lovely Ukrainian lesbians Natasha and Irina (sadly absent for a while) - history of the village - discussions about the dimensions of the beach - imperialist towel deployment. It goes on.
I think Agios Stephanos is about people, plus a nice beach. This - over the winter - keeps the people in touch, and, I think, keeps us interested in it. Otherwise we might go elsewhere.
