    A couple of questions from a newbie:

    What's an Ajarner?
    Why is there such fascination/antagonism/jealousy with this TV forum?
    Are there cliques here? (because I hate cliques and the pricks that populate them!)

    Sobek....

    I'll help you out here.

    An Ajarner is a poster on another Thailand based forum that is known as Ajarn.

    ThaiVisa hasn't been the nicest of forums to some members here so now and again members share their dislike for that forum I'm guilty sometimes. I think you should add your vote to PoolCleaners thread.

    No cliques here! We are not a cliquey bunch so you are in the right place and I hope you enjoy it here.
    Welcome to the jungle!

    I recently said you were trying to be all things (including a bitch) to all people. Why the friendly answer?

    I guess it could be summarized that you are asigned to one of the cliques based on a sweeping generalization

    the TD clique you shag bar girls
    the TV clique you marry bar girls
    the Ajarn clique you pretend not to know what a bar girl is

    obsessed would be closer to the point Icey.

    the way the posters here complain about TV and their unfair treatment at TV reminds me of the attitude of prisoners at a penal institution, nobody is guilty

    they have a forum here where they can post as they wish to post without repercussion and they bash TV continually.
    I think that the loudest posting protesters here want to be given another chance (some of them have had several) back at TV.
    They realise this isn't possible and this is the only way this is a face saving exercise.
    my 25 satang anyway

    I must admit I am finding this new development interesting. I suspect some TDers never really considered the possibility of a counter-attack!

    I've only posted about six times at TV in three years. Never really had the inclination, so I suppose I have formed some perceptions from comments here and over at Ajarn.

    I always thought of the two forums as having two separate target markets and I could never really understand the passion of the antogonism of some TDers to TV...but then again, I'm not familiar with the personalities over there or the nature of past clashes.

    So are TVers paedophiles? I wouldn't know. By all reports, Thailand is full of western paedophiles so given their membership size, mathematically there must be a few. But following that logic through, there must be paedophiles here and at Ajarn as well. There was that moderator at TV, but again that is only hearsay.

    Are TVers boring? Certainly seem a lot of boring people there. But again, that accusation could be equally levelled here or Ajarn.

    Is TV over-moderated? Certainly seems tightly controlled. Pity, really. Some of the handful of posts I have read over there would have benefited greatly from a few well-placed expletives.

    Are TVers a pack of tossers? Well, the wild generalisations they are throwing around here certainly indicates so. Although in fairness, they are just lashing out here...

    Which brings me to my point.

    What I do know is that the TVers sudden prescence here indicates that whatever TD is doing, it is enough to warrant the TVers attention and their current action...

    Which means TD has successfully got up their noses.

    As I suspect this has long been an ambition of many TDers, all I can say is...

    Congratulations on your success, Teakdoor!

    That's a very well balanced and reasoned summation Torbek, which I suppose means that not many will be happy with it.

    Like you I have an account on TV but have never posted there.

    I have also found the sniping and carping at TV's policies tedious, although of course I don't know the background to the individual's issues so I can't take part in their discussion - no doubt those involved will stop when they feel that they have got things of off their chests sufficiently.

    At least part of the purpose of the recent incursions by the TV louts seems to have been to trumpet the superiority of 'their' forum, in which event I think they have failed dismally. They have simply come across as a bunch of embarrassing schoolboys.

    But to be fair I did spend a half hour browsing TV last night. I looked at the regional Hua Hin section which was fairly moribund and a news section on a rally in Bangkok which had suffered from some fairly heavy handed moderation. Nothing to make me want to spend much time there in the future.
    Lord, deliver us from e-mail.

    What a load of crap all this forum fighting is.
    I like Thai Visa.
    I like Teak Door.
    I like Pattaya Pages, and on and on etc etc.
    Does it make me a bad person?

    I don't understand all the TV bashing. Do you know that, as a member, you can sponsor a forum section there, and become an "unmoderated" member, with no one giving you a hard time (maybe it mods or members) for a only a few baht donation ? yes you heard me right. And if you insult that member "sponsor", you are suspended, warned or banned altogther.

    Isn't that a great business or what ? Porkie the idiot right winger over at TV is now a proud sponsor of a TV section and can get away with his trolls and silly diatribe

    Don't be daft of course not. You're no Troll.

    As I understand Butterfly's post this Porkie has paid for the privelage of Trolling on TV. A new financial model for sure and a great way to drive all the members to other forums.

    I am curious and you may not want to answer but do you have any numbers etc as to the impact on your business of being a sponsor?

    To sponsor a forum there the prices start from 2 to 4,000baht per month, internet advertising is quite cheap.

    Well, considering how many drinks Dave paid to Tv members, it is sure not the smartest idea he ever had.
    I should not say that, I'm going next week...
