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.

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?

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.

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.

Tell the truth Nancy....I've got pics of the Gordon's Gin being delivered....never mind the Campari!

Thanks for sharing.

It would to too impolite for me to say what your sour attitude reminds me.

Pandering in the CM forum?
You should get out more.

There are so many other forums to PANDER in.

Yes, maybe I should go to a forum for a place I've never visited, like Hua Hin and start to post really off-the-wall stuff. Invent an entirely new Hua Hin Nancy, or how about Farmer Nancy?

Super Nancy

Nancy no nick......

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?

Anyone want to organize those questions? Go for it!

For Pete's sake stop playing around and moving the goalposts, get the thing over. (who was Pete anyway)?

Patience .... patience.

If you're bored, just wait until the last day.

Looking at the candidate list, I'd have to say intellect is not one of the required attributes for some.

It's a mixed bag of fruits and nuts. Just how we like it!

But then he won't get all that lovely attention.

How about one of those leader board thingies again, showing the current MERGED to 20 as we approach the deadline, tomorrow night?

NancyL is in the lead.

I got that far.

Who's on the edge of staying or going?

Drum roll ...

Still time for Han Solo to join this forum...or even Princess Leia for some eye candy!

Only on Thai Visa could such a simple thing as letting people vote for a 'poster of the year' manage to generate 18 pages of debate and arguement about how it should be run....

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.

It's fascinating; in a Doctor Demento sort of way

Sorry I missed that lovely photo. I was out on my bike most of the day and when I got back there were so many posts I just skimmed through them very quickly and missed your photo. I am assuming that is yours and that it is not recent. Correct me if I am wrong.

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.
