I'm glad AN is back, even though it's got problems at present but I'm sure they'll get it sorted in time.

 

I lurked on a few other forums just to see what the general traffic was like and did notice the usual suspects from AN having to get their 'fix'.
My observations:

Bleak Bore. It's just a free-for-all slagging match between members. 
Thai Dreaming. I accidentally came across this one and noticed it has some of the ex-mods from Thaiger on it. Very little traffic from one day to the next. I thought it should be a dating site with a name like that!

Thaiger. I'm surprised it doesn't have more traffic than it does. So many news stories are put in the forum with no responses from members and totally plastered with ads. Still, it's not too bad for general news etc. but it lacks accurate info about daily life in Thailand. For me, it seems too political and serious but nonetheless, overall pretty decent.

 

I see a few members of AN moaning about the loading speed of this site, be patient guys, I'm sure it'll get sorted and the whole site will be back to usual in the near future. The trolls are back, the visa know-all with an attitude problem is back in fine form, and the EV kings are making a comeback. What's not to love?     

 

AN has probably more traffic than all the rest put together and certainly makes me giggle when reading some of the bickering while having my early-morning coffee fix. 

IMO, there is no substitute for AN although many would like to see its demise. as mentioned on other forums. 

 

Again, glad you're back!

I amused myself for a while reading through some of the obituaries in other forums. that had been written about the final demise ASEAN NOW.

 

I'll not repeat what some of them said about us.

 

on Facebook the vitriol was something else, against you know who

Cowards sit on forums. In real life these people are 1 powerless 2 weak

 

A few cowards had a go at BN. In real life they would be smashed in 5 minutes.

 

Makes me laugh how weak these people are.

 

Gutless.

yes, to badmouth this site and all the moderators.

 

after getting free visa and medical advice from ubonjoe and sheryl for years. 

 

most of these idiots on these forums don't deserve free visa and medical advice, as far as I'm concerned. 

 

just because you're anonymous online doesnt mean you can around backstabbing everyone and anyone.

Still tortuously SLOW and mostly inaccessible far as I can tell. Buttons not functioning correctly. It's a tedious and unusable mess. Webpages in the 90s worked better and faster. 

Please wait while we reinvent the wheel... I guess that AN didn't backup anything and are starting from scratch... Thai IT

Ubon Joe and Sheryl were consistently praised on other sites and rightly, some others were not and that was justified as well.

Amusingly the trolls from here went to TD to throw daggers at AN and the moderating team.

Spineless petulant children though... they signed up to TD under a different alias as they didn't have the balls to do it under their alias here !!
