BANGKOK: -- We have some fantastic news to share with all of you today!

 

ASEANNOW has officially joined The Thaiger family, following the acquisition of all our digital assets by The Thaiger from Choice Group Asia Co., Ltd.

 

This marks a significant milestone as we combine forces with one of Thailand’s top English language news publishers.

 

This new chapter is not just about growth; it’s about enhancing the experience for all our forum members and readers.

 

Darren Lyons, CEO of The Thaiger, shared his thoughts about the acquisition: “We’ve always held ASEAN NOW in high regard, particularly during its days as Thai Visa. The synergies between our platforms are clear, and we’re excited to start working together with ASEAN NOW's team to drive forward innovations and improvements across the board.”

 

George Anderssen, ASEAN NOW's COO, commented on the opportunities ahead: “This is a thrilling time for ASEAN NOW. With the increased emphasis on forums by search engines like Google, our platform's growth is accelerating even faster. We’re ready to leverage this momentum and achieve new heights.”

 

In response to recent discussions, we want to assure our community that our core team and moderators will continue to be an integral part of ASEANNOW. The Thaiger is committed to enhancing site speed, evolving our news style, expanding our social media activities, increasing video content, and above all, enriching your experience on our platform.

 

Thank you for being such a vital part of ASEAN NOW. We are excited to embark on this journey together and look forward to what we can achieve as part of The Thaiger family.

Then, does this statement mean that the forum will become, once again, Thai Visa, and soar higher, and higher, like the mythical Phoenix?

 

 

Are the mods changing?

ThaigerTalk - the forum of The Thaiger - is dedicated to Free Speech with little to no moderation.  Only when members report breaches/complaints a Moderator will look at the case and make a fair decision with TT's Free Speech policy as over-riding principle.  

Will be interesting to see how that will affect AseanNow's current moderation approach.

The Phoenix symbolizes REBIRTH....

Mythically, or otherwise.

Yes, I will be very interested in waiting and seeing.

All the best, is what I wish for, of course.

 

 

Still also a part of The Nation?

More likely Icarus with the current weather!

That's all very well and good (is it?) but how will all this impact me the user?

 

Change is scary!

Censorship = Failure. A lesson hopefully well learnt.
