    From my limited experience at TV, I found their level of moderation to be reasonable. I tried the forum for awhile but was soon discouraged when I found that their moderating was a tad biased toward some individuals. Some got away with a lot while others were censored for replying in kind. Moderating is not an easy job, and the higher the level of moderation, the harder the job is. Regardless, I've decided to drop any forum where freedom of expression, within reasonable limits, is suppressed. If people want to make fools of themselves, call others names or spew nonsense, let them do so. The community can judge others for themselves. I would much rather accept the idiocy of others than censorship. This is one of the strengths of TD.

    Left TV years ago and rarely even look at it much less comment. Moderators are on a power trip and clearly favor a few of their regulars. Most of the posts from these so called "all things Thai expert" regulars is laughable.

    Got red cards and bans galore for simply pointing out some expert was wrong on some particular comment he made.

    There was a time when it had some decent stuff but really went downhill after George sold it. Bet old George is having a grand time with the money he made when he sold it.

    I believe George made out as a bandit from continued profit sharing.
    If I'm not mistaken, the original agreement with the then Pattaya One group [in which TVF was sold again since that time] allowed old George a financial stake and legal associations/advertising revenue that were personally income inducing and still had an unofficial loose association with TVF.

    I doubt if this is the case any longer, as it's changed hands a couple of times in the last decade - assured that it's kept hidden as to the true owners of the venue, presently.
    It's all commercial business, less a community and themed forum. Lost the plot some time back.

    Nor do I keep up with this place.
    Not worthy or valuable......only if one interested in the homogenous stereotypes and cultural myths that perpetuate themselves from the usual crowd of so called "Thai experts".

    They already had one mod that kept his GF folded up in a box, they probably don't want another.
