I recently received this comment on the guestbook:
I have a feeling this will become a source of gossip. Anyone else share that oppion?
Where to start? First let me just say, I have a hard time taking someone seriously when a) they chose not to leave their name, and b) cannot spell simple words correctly.
Now, I’d just like to say that this poster is greatly underestimating the owner of this website. Which is me, and only me. I am the only one who writes here and therefore the one who controls the content. If I wanted to make a silly Gold River rumour site I could easily have done that FOR FREE on Facebook, Blogger, Typepad etc. I certainly don’t plan to waste the money I’m spending for domain registration and hosting for such bullshit as gossip.
My hope for this site is for it to be a valuable web presence for the community of Gold River. A place where we can quickly get information, events, notices and other community info out. HyperLocal blogs (that’s what this site is) are quickly becoming a positive emerging trend on the internet, where people of the same community can come together.
I trust that this clears things up for that anonymous poster. This site will never publish any information that could even remotely be construed as gossip.
That’s my ‘oppion’ on the matter.
you tell ‘em! i think it’s a great idea!
I think this is a fantastic way to promote local services and tourist like things.
The beautiful photographs in the gallery are a wonderful idea and they definitely make me want to visit.
That is my ‘oppion’ as a potential tourist
Great idea! Especially after the forest fire situation. This is a much needed site, thanks for taking the time to create it and manage it
Nice to see that not all of the “small-minded” people live in Connecticut but some have moved up to Canada, too! Personally, it’s my ‘oppion’ that you can keep ‘em and while they’re there – show ‘em how it’s done by writing and maintaining a quality website with lots of good local information that people may not find out about otherwise.
You have a lovely website here, keep up the good work and best of luck in making it a valuable community resource!
Thanks for this site, I am hoping it keeps me current on what’s going on in such a beautiful place that I used to call home.
I think this is a great source for info. Also just a comment to the person who wrote in, maybe they should learn how to spell opinion before offering one.
As a long time former resident of Gold River I absolutely love reading your website. Although I have family and friends still there, it’s nice to be able to go on line and keep in touch. Keep up the good work!
