Popular Post Beetlejuice Posted December 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2014 Moved to the intellectuals forum. You have just wasted 30 minutes of my time searching for the intellectuals forum, before my daughter told me there are no intellectual ex-pats in Thailand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rykbanlor Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I laughed. Now, on a serious note, I am thinking of writing a post analysing this post. The Gist: Whether I have spent too much time reading posts and commenting on posts on Thai visa made by guys who worry they are spending too much time reading and commenting on posts on Thai visa made by guys who probably have too much free time on their hands hence their constant reading of and commenting on posts on Thai Visa. I will need to spend some time weighing up the pros and cons but i Think after some deliberation I might just be able to publish come monday week.

David48 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 We, the ThaiVisa junkies, live to see that red notifications flags with the numbers inside it, and the more the better, this to attest that our opinions and feedbacks are not for nought, and maybe, just maybe, we can make a different by displaying our experiences in life and bestow some of it on other, be it words of wisdoms or a tid-bits of practical knowledge and assistant... I agree Ezzra, my self esteem is entirely dependent upon the little red indicator. Well OK maybe not, but there are posts that you really appreciate getting a like on. Mostly I get likes on things I shouldn't have said. Mr C ... you know now ... I am forbidden, by your dictum, to not 'like' your post ... Sorry Bud. .

Suradit69 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 “Why do you waste your time on there”,she said I frequently ask myself the same thing. Aside from some useful information (and unuseful misinformation and rumours) about immigration issues, most of the rest is just agenda-promoting posts whining/whingeing about petty grievances, responding to which is a pointless waste of time. It's somewhat addictive and like most additions, briefly pleasurable but also injurious to one's mental health and well-being. I think I see a New Year's resolution in the works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I am writing a novel about contemporary popinjays and wagpasties. Thai Visa is an invaluable resource. I agree but am frustrated trying to figure out how to navigate forums etc. Getting old sucks in this regard. Always admire on how some of the older "techies" explain things.

frollywolly Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Frolly, Nice theory you have running but allow me to spoil it with a few thoughts, 'outside the box', so to speak. What if Dvaid only spends 1 minute per post. The guy plays in word association, takes less than 5 seconds to send a post. Then there's all the other meaningless short sharp replies he sends, which probably account for 40% of his work here (as opposed to 90% of my stuff). I seriously doubt David can even sit for 15 minutes straight without getting distracted and guesstimate that only 5% of his efforts here would account for that amount of time. So, with all that in mind, I'm calling you on this one. Now this has take me 2 minutes to type out and send which is about 5x longer than what I normally spend. TVF is a great way to get up to date with certain news, research stuff and have a bit of a laugh. Furthermore, I'm toying this in the wife's phone whilst waiting in the car, she's run into the shops to grab a coup,e of things. I can walk and chew gum at the same time ! 1 minute a post? I dont think so. But each poster can speak for themselves I am sure neverdie. As I mention in my opening post, each post is not simply the time it takes to type each letter and word, it is all the business that surrounds the post itself. The post is representative of 15 minutes spent here on Thaivisa. If someone wants to spend almost a year of their life making posts here on Thaivisa then that is their choice to make. They are fortunate to have a supportive family and no obligations to be ableto have so much time on their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bannork Posted December 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2014 A nice bit of trolling by a very dodgy sounding avatar. Thaivisa's great for specialist interests, whether it's farming, Thai language, rock music or whatever floats your boat.. Plenty of useful info and banter in those forums. Thai news and worldwide news is informative too. Well done George for having the insight to set up an extremely comprehensive, informative and amusing website. But like everything in life, less is more. Limit yourself to quality forums, no more than an hour a day, otherwise you may find yourself starting threads like this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhnomKhnom Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Huge waste of time and waist enlargement too. It is a habit I need to break, but it has given me a healthy disregard for anyone who uses whilst or mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hmmm - maybe my post count goes a long way to explaining why I don't have (and never had) a wife at all ? Your bank balance is a greater reflection of the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I understand there's much more to than the typing of a few words....for example, one must first read the thread, the. Others comments, then post....but my point was, your assuming David's xx amount of posts are all like this. I'd guesstimate nearly half of David's work involves a process more simpler than that, for example, word association, hundreds of posts, all 2 seconds long. I'm done wi reading everything in it's entirety of this forum.....I'm here to educate you biatches to life as neverdie sees it, so I read even less than I use to. Some of us also do two things at once. For example, yesterday Australia killed India in the cricket.....I endulged in both a bit of TVF and Cricket, amongst other tasks. When I drive up the road with 26 family members balancing in the rear of my pickup I do some of my best posting, the thrill of running things over and going thru red lights really inspires my creative side Anyway, has anyone ever told you "You tink too mutt" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reincarnation9 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Total waste! Your chance of winning the Thaivisa Poster of the Year award is nada. Oct 2006. Jingthing joins 55,819 posts since 55,819 x 15 minutes = 837,285 minutes = 13,955 hours! Assuming Jingthing has to sleep, then that translates to 1,163 days on Thaivisa in 8 years!!! (12 hour days) Breaking it down a little more, this is 145 twelve hour days per year, or 4.77 hours every single day for the last eight years! Frolly, you're not doing too bad, but there are some TV members that really need to get out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 When in Thailand and you have gaps in things to do, it's not a bad filler, pattayaddicts.com is better though. TV bores me with threads being moved to boring sections almost immediately and the over zealous deletion of posts of which this could be another one.

canuckamuck Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Clearly the Frolly index is distorted. If you are keeping up with a thread and pop in once and a while. It generally takes a minute to catch up and a minute or so to respond. Occasionally a thread is hot, and it takes a while to catch up if you are late to notice. But that is a once in a while thing, not the norm. Now, if the Frolly index was reduced to 5 minutes, I am sure there would be some truth to it.
