Cabradelmar Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 It's all the same people anyway. Most have accounts on both. Not sure how they will handle existing members status cross platform. Hardly important, really. I'm sorry to see this change, to be honest. Now there is no escape 😂... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always wondered, why Asean Now's "journalism" was of low quality; well, it is just Swedish Bonnier AB like! And Thaiger, which I have always compared to German Axel Springer SE "level", now pairing with Asean Now was purely logical! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously, people would get warned for the tiniest of infractions. Hopefully this lack of censorship will continue. Keep up the good work. Sure and always remembering that the owners must respect / abide by various laws. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Liverpool Lou Posted April 19 Popular Post Share Posted April 19 3 hours ago, itsari said: Of course the moderators will remain an important part of the forum, yet the question on will there be change is a fair and valid question. 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. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Liverpool Lou Posted April 19 Popular Post Share Posted April 19 2 hours ago, IvorBiggun2 said: I can't see it. I once raised the matter about AN being an adult forum, only to be told by a moderator that it was a 'family orientated forum'. What's that all about? It is "about" the forum's (and its advertisers') target audience, what's so difficult to understand? 1 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove full page ads as one reads an article or responds, especially video ads and other ads placed not to disrupt reading and "Submit."

transam Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 2 minutes ago, Woof999 said: The site is also not aimed at 2 year olds, so the banned word list should not be so utterly ridiculous. Keeping ignoring the suggestions of people who DO visit the site in the hope of pleasing those that don't is possibly one of the reasons why it lost ~90% of it's value in just a few years. ...but what would I know.

tigerbeer Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 memories come to mind about the good old days where thaivisa sponsored meetups in Chiang Mai and other places. went for a couple meet ups here in chiang mai. it was nice to meet George and many of the other moderators. The pages of Remembrance in the Chiang Mai forum is where one could read about friends who have left us. I thank Thai Visa for many friends i have met personally and am still in touch with. Wishing all the best to George and the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
