Absolutely! But Dan is getting the success he deserves since his group sold the forum, there was always envey for Dan's success in MalcolmB, oops sorry, GOAT'S comments. 🤫

Any idea what Cheeseman paid for the forum.

And how much he then sold it for?

I don’t like the current nastiness. Not sure I can appreciate the newcomers and know alls. I prefer the  past members and their knowledge by far ! 

I think if we had regular piss ups together, maybe New Years in Bangkok, songkrans in Pattaya, Easter’s in Phuket etc people would be nicer to each other if we actually got to meet each other. 

With all the advertising revenue they must make off us you would think three nights a year all you can drink for the members would be a fitting way of showing their appreciation for our contributions.

Can I ask you if that's where you found Jesus? This would certainly lend credence to the old adage "the lord works in mysterious ways".

Why so many ageist comments on this thread? 

I don't know if anyone has the data, but I feel AseanNow is less active than the old ThaiVisa, but I believe the moderation is now better as bickering posts are controlled whereas real discussions are allowed to run.

 

I try to avoid the US political post where possible, as they tend to dominate the forum, and they are invariably of a low 'school playground' level of debate.

The removal of the extreme leftist pensioner who used to delete half of my posts because they were too factual.

 

Much better place now. 

 

Marvellous.  

Stats?

 

Banner ads means I spend it’s Time here  ,just quick in and outs

Big downturn compared to Thaivisa.

Much less Thai related.

Allowing even promoting conspiracy theories, obscure stuff of all kind.

US politics to the max. Disgusting war of words.

Have stopped even reading quickly.

And these bombastic/kitschy stories displaying as news.

Unbearable.

I want to take this opportunity to give a shout out and a big thanks to the administration team and moderators who make this helpful forum possible.

I thought that it were the members and their comments that made a forum possible?

I rank this website right in the middle between picsofhemorrhoids.com and stealyourcreditcardinfo.com.

We need private chatrooms to filter out the hoi polloi.

I take it you're up for being the first of the hoi polloi in that chatroom?

Still no free speech.  Idiotic strictures on words that can be used:  (IE "no bad language"). Only adults on this forum. Why is anyone concerned with so-called "bad language" ? Sheer idiocy.

There is no such thing as "excellent moderation".  The only acceptable kind of moderation is making sure that illegal posts are deleted.   Only LM and defamation posts fall into that category.

You mean sustenance, right? No, that can't be it as I'm eating well and take great care to stay hydrated.

Because that's one of the things that are acceptable to moderation. That and any anti-American comments.
