sunholidaysun1 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Do you think it would be a good idea to have an international forum within Thai-Visa so that any country can be discussed , questions asked etc etc ? At least then maybe the site will get even more members and make it more interesting to add something to talk about without having to use another site ! What are your thoughts and will the Moderators like the extra work load ? Possibly not ! Maybe it should be put to a Poll- Vote of Thai-Visa Members ?

Create one for international and call it InterVisa. I like TV the way it is If it's a separate forum, what's the issue??? There are some forums within Thai visa that I don't ever look at; likewise, you wouldn't have to look at this one. There's a southeast asia forum so why not an international one.

Jingthing Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) If we had an international forum, all the sport and good fun of trying to justify things as "Thai related" would be lost.

Bukseeda Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 If you want to talk about things non-Thai there are plenty of other forums out there. Thaivisa - the name is the clue... You've said that before. What about the word "visa" then? We don't only discuss visas do we. As a community of people from all parts of the world and who all have an interest in Thailand, I really don't see the problem in having a sub-forum for international issues. If it's in a sub-forum, Just like the Southeast Asia forum, then it won't detract from anything else will it? Just like I have no interest in farming so i don't read that sub-forum. And if I owned this forum, it's surely in my advertisers' interest (and therefore mine) to keep people on the site rather than them going elsewhere.

I'll make you a prediction based on experience as a former Mod. If you open an international forum on Thaivisa it will turn into a flame-infested hole full of partisan US politics. Any other discussions will be drowned out in the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is that when I thought of the jumping frog contest I was just being silly, but then I thought about it, and there actually IS a Thailand connection!

I'll give it a go. "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is an 1865 short story by Mark Twain. Mark Twain named the frog after Daniel Webster. Daniel Webster was both a U.S. senator from Massachusetts and a U.S. representative from Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In Massachusetts there is a hotel named Daniel Webster Inn Hotel. You can book it on www.Chiangdao.com Chiangdao is an amphur in Chiang mai, Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I had a more direct Mark Twain connection in mind ... Now you know why I have never been asked to be a mod.

What's the football forum for then? The point I'm making is that we the members are "thai-related" and a few of us would enjoy discussing, for example, international news stories with our fellow community members. I still don't see the big deal as those who aren't interested could ignore us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
