ASEAN NOW to be purchased by The Thaiger?

[roo860]

Hopefully the Thaiger doesn't include those 🛎 end moderators. 

[zzzzz]

that sucks as the thaiger has been recently positing purer crap articles>  
ah well it was nice while it lasted

I have an ad blocker so I don't get plagued with ads like some complain of. I was a member years ago. It was better when it was ThaiVisa. Asean Now added nothing to the platform in my opinion and I find the inconsistent and pro-Israel bias in the moderation very difficult to accept. If it gets taken over I'll give it a try to see how it is. Mike Lister did a survey her a month or two back about what posters felt about the forum....I don't remember getting a feedback of the consolidated comments, but that may well down to my inattentiveness. 

The things that freaks me out about the forum is these months old commentaries with 6000 odd responses and 35 pages.....at least give us the option to view the latest comments first instead of wading through 000s of comments.

 

    Some forums do not allow anything but anti Israel comments and the anti Israelis stay on their own forums endlessly criticising Israel , maybe you are just not  used to seeing pro Israel comments and that's why you think that this forum is biased  .

   You did also break two forum rules in the post above , maybe its you who cannot stick to the rules and thus came to the conclusion of biasedness

How many pages before it gets shut down.

It could not get any worse so this is good news

 

Having had experience of the Thaiger it could get worse. So paranoid are they you cold not post Thai music MV's without English subs as they did not understand them and worried they might have subversive lyrics. Not just paranoid but ignorant. They always referred to ze rule number one everything must be posted in English. Very few Thai music videos have subs of course, but they insisted they did, idiots.

Wow!

 

It could be several things:

 

- Just a rumor

- AN is buying Thaiger

- AN is merging with Thaiger

- Thaiger is buying AN

 

I wonder which alternative is most likely?

 

  Yes it could be several of the things that you posted.

 

  Regarding the link in the OP as it relates to your scenarios:

 

  a.  Clearly it's a rumor until it happens

 

  b.  Doubtful but anything is possible (until it isn't.)

 

  c.  The "rumor" states that Thaiger will merge the AN/Thaigertalk forums....

 

  d.  ....after Thaiger purchases AN.

 

  So at least three of your stated scenarios may all be true simultaneously.

Payday.

Self proclaimed tech guru, expert on women and business agitator Dan Cheeseman and his Inspire Group a few years back took over what was once just a small local Thai forum with thousands of regular readers and developed it in to a multi country internet mega project with tens of regular readers.

 

There will be a long queue of bidders for it all wanting to be associated with Thailand's most successful Vlogger.

 

Thanks for all your great work Dan. 

It wont be the same without you mate.

 

If there is truth that Dan bought it with investors 35 million baht and now is selling it for 3 million baht, that is a solid 8.5% return for the investors.

Nothing to be sneezed at these days with low interest rates.

He's now masquerading as some sort of spiritual guru with hippy drummers on YouTube. 🤭🤭

Yes, i knew someone who paid to advertise in it. There were promises that it was going to be bigger than Thaivisa itself'

I think the print version failed after the third edition.

I never saw a fourth, not sure I saw a third to be honest.

It didnt bring much inspiration.

Oh dear. I will have to check that out.

You gotta give him credit. He does give everything a go.

The old crew in Patts call him Brownfinger.

Everything he touches turns to s.....

We need a poll added.

Is this positive or negative  news in general opinion?

 

Thaiger had/has its own forum. But it was a disaster. They had hair trigger bans and heavy censorship. It was far, far worse than AN ever was at its depths a couple of years ago.
