My point was that "Stickman" "Not Stickman" and "Stickboy/Mike McKay" are completely different people. Introducing the former two into the context of this thread is misleading, confusing and irrelevant.

Stickboy's posts were a lot more entertaining!

clivebaxter Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Stickman still posts occasionally on that almost dead forum that used to bear the Nanaplaza name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GammaGlobulin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Was Stickman, and maybe his son, Stickboy, too, just a mythical figure who never really existed? Was Stickman just, in actuality, no more than a marketing tool used by this less than upright industry to promote a sort of sleazy industry? I am sure you will all recall the novella Animal Farm. And so, reading this novella, not everything one reads should be accepted as literal. Therefore, even if some might say, which still must be proved, that Stickman and Stickboy have somehow left us, still their spirit resides amongst us all, in minor ways. The dregs of Stickman and his boy, like Batman and Robin, will reside and resonate with us for so many years to come, no matter how we might wish to rid ourselves of the memory of these two loveable figures.

GammaGlobulin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Is the "Stickboy" author actually sort of like John Cleland? Sort of the same, yet less literate? Less a man of taste. Less a man of wealth. Not even a Mick. Not even a Dickensian Jaggar? Who has any sympathy for Stickboy, one might validly wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so many videos of buakhao, soi 6, soi 7 etc you can do I think what Stickboy did was different from the YouTubers and they won't be able to replace that. Personally I like(ed) to be able to lookup the current situation. I.e. there opened a new bar or in that bar this and that happened yesterday or will happen tomorrow. Stickboy had that information in compact form and up to date. At least I don't want to watch a 20 minute video to get information which could be said in a few paragraphs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contradictory nonesense! Surely nobody is really this clueless ????. He built up StickBoy over a period of years and used the revenue from that to acquire Stickman several years later. It's like saying Bill Gates didn't build his empire from nothing because Microsoft acquired Linkedin in 2016 ????. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Introducing the former two into the context of this thread is misleading, confusing and irrelevant. It's very clear that they are not the same person (unless it's a case of Dissociative Identity Disorder given that one interviewed the other in length on the Stickman website). If that was your (very obvious) point then maybe that's what you should have written. Instead of "Stickman" and "Not Stickman" are nothing to do with "Stickboy/Mike McKay" which is factually incorrect seeing as Stickboy acquired Stickman so they are intrinsically linked. I was simply correcting you. What was that? Oh, you're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When company A acquires company B, company A doesn't typically lay off the key employees that made company B such a success in the first place ????.

No, it doesn't matter, I was simply making an observation.

There was an interview about it between the 2 individuals on the Stickman Website but the last 3 years worth of columns have been deleted from there as well. Anyway, good luck to him. He built something from nothing and had a good run of it. Not even hinting at his departure until he was safely back in the UK (and removing most of the content) does imply that he had some issues with someone but that wouldn't be unusual for someone who was effectively on the payroll of gogobar owners who are often more than a bit shady. Edited for a typo. Actually, Stickman's website and Stickboy's media accounts belong to Stick Media which is owned by the Panthera Group which has such a large presence in the farang nightlife areas of Bangkok and across Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
