Agree! Best post so far! 🙏
 

This merger is all for the better for our members and for our staff. The dogs has been pissing on us for a year or two.

 

Thanks for understanding! ❤️🇹🇭

Well, I hope your vision is fulfilled.    I'm a long time member who originally came to the forums for visa advice and the Thai language forums. 

The Thai language forums are pretty dead TBH.  Trends being what they are, probably simply because of the large influx of foreigners to the country since 20 years ago, thus reducing the necessity of learning the local lingo.

There are many sub-forums that provide valuable info for local expats.  The how-to folk and the local knowledge people are good.

The visa forums remain a source of valuable information.  RIP UbonJoe 🙏

Never really came for the World News, in the modern age of social media we can get that easily anywhere. 

One value I find is the Local News.  I've relied in an ever increasing way on TV/AN to bring the local/regional news to me, less reliance on the English language broadsheets. In that regard, if I had a wish, it would be increasingly providing an ever improving/expanding use as a portal,  amalgamator/aggregator, for local and regional News and issues.

So everyone can then rip that apart, and people make their own version of whether its true or not..lol...yeah right.

 

Its nobody's business other than the parties involved., but that wont stop the absurd speculation even if it was published.

So there no difference between merging, and being bought, no?

These figures look very cheap to me.

No. One business buys another business and they merge the businesses/operations. Voila.

When they cease to be private businesses, perhaps they will, until then, it is none of our ducking business.

I don't believe anybody, I'm asking.

I know you're a absolute narcissistic idiot - which is fine btw - but I was surprised to know you were an ex-mod.

Now you're telling it ain't the case. Ok. So be it.

You're a moron nonetheless. To me anyways 🙂

I never said I wasn't an ex mod..................😂

This is where tool members don't read and understand the written word.....🤣

Usually the buyer dismisses all the staff of the bought and uses their existing staff for both.

Can I be the first to urge Thaiger to keep CharlieH, maybe even make him the boss!

Seemed to have.  Exactly, and only if you wanted to believe non-confirmable speculation.  "Seemed to have" does not mean "had".

A high number of posts have already been removed. There seems to be a sub topic running through this and it needs to STOP now, This thread is NOT about other members and commenting/discussing others is against forum rules, so please stop now before you lose the ability to post anything.

You didn't need to be specific, you posted on a public forum, anyone can respond to your posts.

Obvious choice. 

 

Absolutely.
