Would you like to live in Cancun in an All-Webmaster community?
 

As some of you know I now live in Cancun and love it, and I was thinking: wouldn't it be great to buy some huge property in the jungle near the beach in Cancun, and build an all-webmaster community, where we can be ourselves, work, and have fun?

who says Yey?

i like to move too much and too often cant stay in one place for too long.

Uhhh, no thanks. I have to deal with web developers / designers / masters / marketers too much doing work. Don't want them as my neighbors too.

I agree with Matt but if you do it - make lots of videos of all the drama! ;)

actually the webmasters I have met and dealt with in person have been simply adorable and ended up being very good friends of mine, so I do think it'd be a great idea :)

Yeah that sounds like fun. I have been itching to move to Mexico anyway.

I'd love it. But I'd want it to be beachfront.

Yes that would be nice,but is'nt mexico place of druglords ?

as long as there is no snow there.

That pic cracks me up.

that's the rest of Mexico.. Cancun and the Riviera Maya are pretty much kept away from all that stuff, possibly because of all the tourists...

doesn't something like that usually end in a big ritual suicide?

Let me know the price, i'm down

No, but the drugs in Cancun are good and cheap! :pimp

It would only drive up the homicide rate in Cacun. :2 cents:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

maybe after the next crash of a billing company

count me in, seriously

Ah, that is the dream... would be an interesting idea. Can you get a decent connection down there?

Where do I sign up?

People that are fine 1000+ miles away who you can turn off at the press of a button will probably really get on your tits as everyday company.

is there fast 50mbps+ internet connections?

I already live on a beach front but I'm ALWAYS down for Mexico, and yes its safe there.
I can pretty much relocate anywhere as long as there's broadband.

Could it be Akumal instead of Cancun ?

It's only about an hour south and is my favorite place on earth. A place I've previously considered as a place to live.

sounds like a commune, it would never work in the longterm. Too many diffferent personalities:2 cents:

What are you trying to say? I'm strange? :1orglaugh
Wait, don't answer that..:1orglaugh

Yep the requirements would have to be beachfront + big internet pipe.

yeah, beachfront and a big pipe :pimp

For those of you who said you are interested: let's do it!!!

I already live down here (bought a house last year), and love it. There's lots of land for sale at very reasonable prices (about $10,000 an acre and even cheaper), you can build a very nice solid house for about $60,000, the weather is the best in the world, models are pretty and cheap (for those of you shooting your own content), life in general is cheap, and a flight to Miami is 90 minutes and about $250 round trip.

So if you're serious about it, email me and I'll setup a page where we can all discuss it. Email address in signature.

Hey i got a great name for ya.

Call it JONES TOWN :)

Actually i just thought of something.

Can you imagine, the gofuckyourself.com commune.

It would be a fucking nightmare.

Walk into a shop, ask the shop keeper - How much is that?

WHAT ARE YA FUCKIN STUPID, YA FUCKING NOOB - would be your answer :)

I fucking love cancun, is in my plans to probably move there as well, czarina in what part do u live? close to the hotels area?, I fucking love it, want to go this summer, wanna met? :)

I can be a beach bum over there...

lol

Only problem with that scenario is...she asked for actual webmasters. Most of the clowns that are so disrespectful on GFY wouldn't qualify. Nor would they have the income to even own their own home. :1orglaugh

If it was a "GFY" commune...it would be a trailer park full of "millionaires" who keep all their websites and businesses a "secret" :1orglaugh

Wow what concept.
Would you have like special house for the tube owners?

never gonna happen.

btw I say YES :thumbsup

webmasters community? NO THANKS

Sea Turtles!!!! :thumbsup

I LOVE Akumal! That's why I would have to remind you how SMALL Akumal is, and that it probably would destroy the place to set up a GFY Webmaster Community on the doorstep there :winkwink:

Bad idea

LOL amazing

Exactly.
What would happen if one of the garbage trucks broke down.?
1000 webmasters would sit around posting about it for 6 months. Well it used to work in 2004.

Ahh come on my little sea turtle. Don't you want to go watch the sunset over the ocean every night with the GFY members?

Cancun - Nice place to visit, but wouldn't want to live there.

hey czarina let´s go play some beach volleyball :)

I would rather be all alone and cold in Canada.
Go figure :)

Well, no shit. :1orglaugh

Also the neighborhood would be full of sig graffiti.

This idea was actually proposed right here on GFY and I believe on porn city about 7 or 8 years ago. About 50 of us were talking about throwing in and buying an island off the coast of S. America and starting our own country.

But it never grew to anything more than idle chit chat, largely because even just in the threads about it there were too many people disagreeing about "how it should be" lol.

"We'd still have to have a tax system"
"No, no taxes! That's the whole point of it!"
"How would we defend our new country? I say we install machine gun nests every 100 yards around the island"
"What about a sewage system? I'm not crapping in an outhouse"
"Will we have regular food deliveries? Is there such a thing as a floating Safeway where we could go aboard and shop?"

and my personal favorite: "You're all idiots"

I think there are still several islands for sale down there though if anyone wants to actually try it. :D

This was suggested when a few people in the industry got scammed buying land in Costa Rica a few years ago :1orglaugh

There are very few people here that I'd tolerate as neighbors, and those people probably aren't the ones who would relocate.

Wow, surrounded by business associates at all times?

Pass.
