Where in my post did you think I was talking to you ? You didn't need to be specific, you posted on a public forum, anyone can respond to your posts.

The original post on Reddit seemed to have all the information. Seemed to have. Exactly, and only if you wanted to believe non-confirmable speculation. "Seemed to have" does not mean "had".

So there no difference between merging, and being bought, no? In practice, and as far as we and the two companies are concerned, no.

How is it any of your (our) business?

End the speculation with the truth then! When they cease to be private businesses, perhaps they will, until then, it is none of our ducking business.

The official line is that they are unpaid volunteers!

"That said the forum would be what it is without such absurd guesses..." Surely you mean "wouldn't be"?!

Not at all misleading, it is 100% accurate.

What does that mean?

I don't believe that you do "get it". Do you know the meaning of the word "irony"?

The New Wave bar that they hooked up with didn't fail, far from it, it was The ThaiVisa Lounge aspect that failed.

A ban on pedantry would be a decent change, to be fair. As would a ban on the chronic misinterpretation of the vocabulary of the English language and fatuous posts.

What makes you think that? I'm one of the many who didn't know there was a Thaiger forum until this merger produced all the comments about it and, if those comments are to be believed, it's definitely not worth going to have a look at it.

Not in the slightest. Biden doesn't have a cult. He's a normal president. Trump doesn't have "a cult", either.

Yes!

Just as it is impossible to have sincere (read rational) discussions with Biden's cult members.

Got a mirror? That very comment is a self-appointed, unofficial attempt to moderate those comments that you don't approve of.

How can anyone posting here know what was paid for the site and know what they sold/merged it for? So many posters suggest that they have that private information and then try to authoritatively opine about those values as if they are accurate.

Without the ads there wouldn't be a forum!

It is "about" the forum's (and its advertisers') target audience, what's so difficult to understand?

You chose to be an adult member of this forum , knowing the rules as an adult, didn't you, but now you want those standards dropped to accommodate your vocabulary?

It as a question, sure, but whether it is "fair and valid" is another matter completely. The private forums' appointments of moderators (and their sometimes suggested perceived quality) has nothing whatsoever to do with us as voluntary forum members.

Try reading... "...our core team and moderators will continue to be an integral part of ASEANNOW".

How do you know the payment arrangements for these employees of whom you have no idea at all whether they are criminals working with the scammers?

Yes, there is and yes, they will. Call the Anti Online Scam Operation Centre, 1441 (24 hrs) and the police, in co-operation with the banks, will freeze suspicious accounts within minutes in order to cancel the latest transactions
