The Thorntree travellers forum is no more, what alternatives?
I found out a while ago that the Lonely Planet Thorntree forum had been archived and now has been completely removed and I wondered if anyone had suggestions for an alternative?
The Thorntree did seem to be primarily aimed at backpackers and people not using motorised transport, a few hapless individuals posted motorcycle related questions in the on your bike section and received such unnecessarily rude replies that I reported the offending respondent and pointed the OPs over here but on the whole it was pretty good for questions relating to visas and the like.
There are some country or continent specific fora such as India Mike and Caravanistan but are there any others with global coverage?
