Wanting to know more about Dubai and hoping to perhaps know someone local if ever I manage to travel there (at this point only a dream), I placed a pen pal-ish post on craigslist, but it's now my understanding that the site is blocked in Dubai. :cry:
Is this so?
If so, is this a forum in which I can post such a request?

craigslist was never popular here, but it does work here. Just the "dating" section is blocked, but some parts of Dubai has unblocked internet access.

Thank you very much, gtmash.
The personals area did seem deserted but for a handful of fairly blunt posts seeking mercenary romance.
Would you have any input on a more appropriate venue that would actually be frequented by locals?

Welcome to DF. Enjoy your stay
Cheers,
D.
P.S. Locals can mean Nationals or Resident Expats both are available on DF

Hello D.,
Thank you for the welcome.
Sorry for any confusion - by local I meant anyone presently residing in Dubai.

You can strike up conversations on these forums itself.

I was going to say but I see it's blocked. That happened recently? I thought it had been unblocked.

Are they going to block this site if we start a Dating Forum here....are the chances big that they would do so?

Well if you're putting porn or adverts for alcohol they will. But a dating board wouldn't be that bad, because that's only a part of the whole forum and not the real intension of DF.
