It is a fact that the Teakdoor goes out of it's way to attract viewers/ members who have some connection with teaching in Thailand. Therefore, why is there such distain for teachers & the teaching profession on the Teakdoor forum, which I might add borders on the hostile in numerous posts?
^ Why do you think Teak Door goes out of its way to attract teachers?
I dont think that is correct.
I think you will find the majority of posters on here are not actually teachers, I also think you will find that the majority of foreigners in Thailand are not actually teachers.
^I agree with Lily. No evidence of it at all.
So why is the Teakdoor configured to attract those with connections to teaching in Thailand? I'm confused.Quote:

They are probably just here in case something seedy turns up that they can snigger about. :D
What configuration are you talking about? What have you been smoking lately?
Please Sir: what does 'configured' mean?
But the Teakdoor is actively looking for that market in the way that it has been configured. That's what prompted this thread.Quote:

"Configured"? in what way? we dont have a teaching section, we dont have anything about teaching in our tags, you sure lost me.
Maybe Roxy is referring to the fact that they use the same software and sort of kind of look the same?
Often, computer configuration pertains to the choice of hardware, software, firmware, and documentation. In this context I am referring to an aspect of the forums documentation, specifically the selection of Meta Keywords.
A computers configuration affects system function and performance, function being the keyword here, which would apparantly be to attract teachers.
I have checked the members page & you don't appear to be an administrator or moderater here, yet you post with the assumed authority of someone in such a position. That being the case, it surprises me that you don't understand what I am talking about. Should I show you then?Quote:

For Roxy.
Sorry, but could we have that in plain English for those of us that are not computer geeks? You are, I presume, an English teacher, so, that shouldn't be hard.
Here are the meta keywords:
How are those designed to attract teachers?Quote:

pathetic troll...sounds vaguely like the Cap of old...
maybe he's feeling like Taksin and whinging..."I want to come home"...
I'm at a bit of a loss to understand this.
These Meta Keywords which can be found by viewing the page source. I understand that a Thai word for teacher is Ajarn, of course I could be mistaken.Quote:

What is the function of Meta Keywords?
No I don't teach English, thankfully. I own/manage a rather unsuccessful Internet shop.Quote:
