Jingthing Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I still think lots of people will read any thread that gets bumped up a lot as long as it has a CLICK ME heading. Even if it's on the Albino insect farmers forum. Maybe especially so! Many of us never use the "new content" facility. I don't. True. But many do. I think there was a POLL about that.

BookMan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 When it's down to the FINAL 5 GRAND FINALE, more people will look at the contestants more closely. Now and also in the TOP 20 semi-finals, it's more like U.S. republican party "debate" -- often called a CLOWN CAR, but I have more respect for soem of our choices this year. Definitely not all clowns. With such a comprehensive schedule this year, do you think it could be a case of 'Last Voter Standing' deciding the vote?

NancyL Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Didn't even know there was "new content" function or "albino insect farmers" forum. I'm just too busy pandering over at the Chiang Mai forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 This year's poll reminds me of the Star Wars prequels. A long-awaited follow up to something genuinely fun, which turns out to be a total snoozefest dominated by boring scenes of political procedure and a main character who possesses neither charm or wit. Even a few half-hearted fight scenes can't liven it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Members: This here poll is to narrow down the super large field to a TOP 20 for the POSTER OF THE YEAR contest, 2015. You need to vote for AT LEAST one member in each of the two sections, but beyond that you are free to vote for as many choices as you like. Even all of them if you're feeling silly. Also, you are free to change your votes until the deadline determining the TOP 20. That deadline is Thursday 17 December at midnight. To change your vote, simply click Delete My Vote, and then re-vote. Ron19 has exited the contest and his votes won't be counted.

alex8912 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Once we reach the next round, we should have one of those debates where all the candidates have to answer a series of questions.Would it be possible for the first question to be:What inspires you to post so many times on Thai Visa Forum?

villagefarang Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I am not impressed with those who boast how little they know about ThaiVisa and other posters. It is embarrassing how focussed people are on their own little fiefdoms and their egos. The pettiness, the putdowns and the constant bickering, along with the lowbrow toilet humor make this a very disturbing topic to read through. I can see why those who are not directly involved may not have the stomach for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyL Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hubby just pointed out a post in the Thailand News forum about a new rule from the Mods that we can't post anything that can be construed as "rumor mongering". No wonder the POTY contest is tame this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
