It would also be interesting to know their nationality ...I know of lot of young Thai people speaking rather well English but they cannot write it without severe mistakes

Are you one of them ?  ...I know of lot of young Thai people speaking English rather well, but...... could not resist.

Nah down in de hood here in hip city (once known as Chiang Rai) we's now really grooving to the new beat of Thai Visa d'you know Brov!

Yes or no?

Its Friday, maybe a couple of beers tonight...

 

Well lets hope more of these younger members start visiting the Thaivisa Pub Forum, you used to get

a lot of interesting topics there. I am not saying us older members don't post interesting topics, but what I am saying is you used to

get a few topics each day on the Pub forum, but not any longer.

Judging by the amount of moaning, whining and Thai Bashing on ThaiVisa, nothings changed, It's still the same old miserable lot as far as I can see, if anything it looks like less people are using the forum, many of  the old characters seem to have disappeared. 

If all the posts were positive, and there were no moaners, the posts would just be boring, I like to see both positive and negative posting, that's 

what makes it more interesting.

No they are still here using different user names. I posted not long ago that a new force was awakening on the forum, I myself have helped to enlist around 30 new members over the last 12 months all under 45 but not many post, some are as young as 21  and come here to have sex, some want an ice cream van, some want a 7,11 some even want lady boys......up to them I say, who cares?

and don't forget the booze, that right Steven100?

excellent father you can read. congratulations.

This is good news. It might bring a bit of maturity to the forum!

Mr Cheeseman said that the notion that Thaivisa was “just for retired expatriates to troll each other” was a complete misconception these days.

"these days"? Does he mean that it wasn't a misconception in the past?

 

I guess we must move with the times and allow these youngsters to join in the trolling.

Old people die.

Speaking as a grumpy old lefty schoolteacher....

What on earth do ice cream vans and 7/11s have to do with sex?

Or shouldn't I ask?

Nothing apart from condoms.

Ice cream vans sell condoms?

Well blow me down - sorry I didn't mean that - golly, what a surprise!

What I can confirm is that Thaivisa is posting more and more stupid things than before, and it's easy to check !

The Tech News is taken from other sites like  techrepublic.com so it isnt exactly something new being contributed

To thaivisa business wonks ... are you really so sure you want to only focus on the younger people and toss the oldies on the proverbial ice floes?

Industries millennials have killed

Don't let their youth and inclusiveness fool you: Millennials are ruining industries daily. Keep clicking to see which businesses are suffering because of millennial spending habits.

OR, perhaps you do, that is, if you're in the AVOCADO toast industry.

 

Millennials can’t buy homes because they’re wasting money on avocado toast, helpful millionaire says

 

http://news.nationalpost.com/life/millennials-cant-buy-homes-because-theyre-wasting-money-on-avocado-toast-helpful-millionaire-says

“One in four Thaivisa readers are under the age of 34 which perfectly illustrates that Thaivisa has mass appeal across all age groups.

 

Not sure how that follows.

 

TV would be better expanding the credibility of it's claims by discontinuing the refusal to delete defunct email addresses from their advertising efforts. I saw a comment a few years ago which said that up to 40% of the TV claimed readership is moribund (by several years), banned members (who it is reasonable to say are unlikely to buy anything from TV advertisers), and other defunct subscriber accounts of whatever nature. A current member of my acquaintance is on his 18th discrete membership courtesy of one of the more lamented but sticky moderators (google is your friend).

 

I don't expect that will happen though, which means that Mr Cheesman's somewhat bullish statements will continue to be treated as highly dubious. Were the future as rosy as he claim, the financial support of the Nation Group would hardly have been required to sustain its survival. The heritage of George and his questionable moderators needs to be excised if TV is to have any long-term future. Or even a medium-term one.

 

Personally, I give it another 3 months at best, and I confidently predict I will be an early addition to those who are banned but still claimed as a potential market for advertising on the pages of TV - despite having not seen an ad of any kind on TV for years, courtesy of my ad-blocker.

THis thread is the best admin fantasy ever!!

I think the manager has lost his marbles, or at least those on his abacus. 25% is a minority, and a small minority if us old farts make up the other 75%.

Maybe in the old days there were only 2 or 3 peeps under the age of 34 and now things are changing
