Is this forum going down the pisser?

**Smeg** · 26-07-2006, 10:50 PM

I got used to seeing at least 15-20 people at any time using the lounge, but this month its constantly less than 10. Perhaps this is what happens when nasty little mods are allowed to start dictating the way things are run etc.

I guess its only a matter of time til people move on to Harry/Captain/Pooly's new forum. I've already joined

they'll love you for that Smeg.
you've just cost them any potential new members.

Traffic certainly seems down.

Maybe just cyclical and all will up and running full steam again next week.

Maybe not enough critical mass to ever recover from departure of a few prolific posters.

But go to forum with 38 members and most posts by Captain, Harry, Poolie, and DJ?

Not yet, thanks...

**dirtydog** · 26-07-2006, 10:59 PM

Well one reason could be the tirade of abuse I got for being 100% honest.

People see who talk about decent subjects and who spout shite. What would you do?

Yep, Poolie has moved on, and I can't blame him.

When rose tinted spectacle wearing TEFLer mods are allowed to delete threads and posts that they don't agree with, forums just become a waste of time...

**dirtydog** · 26-07-2006, 11:12 PM

Pat you foking wanker, you bumped up a year old post just to spam us with this new fantastic website, so why don't you foking shut up you wanker....

**DJ Pat** · 26-07-2006, 11:17 PM

What fucking website?

Honesty isn't allowed. You have to toe the line of the quirky beliefs of the average bonkers self-loving thaiophile, or be moderated.

**DJ Pat** · 26-07-2006, 11:22 PM

Come on DD what website are we talking about here?

Who, or whatever you have heard, is wrong.

I'm in Pattaya the week after next. Maybe a civilised cup of tea is called for.

**ChiangMai noon** · 26-07-2006, 11:32 PM

Smeg, the bastards over there have already deleted a dozen of my posts without the courtesy of a pm and I suspect just for the hell of it, so don't start making out that the place is all hunkydory unmoderated.

**DJ Pat** · 26-07-2006, 11:38 PM

Oh shit, i've just caught on.

**ChiangMai noon** · 26-07-2006, 11:39 PM

Well done Pat, do indulge us with your musings.

**ChiangMai noon** · 26-07-2006, 11:43 PM

Are you one of their assistant weasels Pat, i suspect you are, my guess is that Smeg will be given a role as weasel in chief.

I would imagine a well balanced moderation policy amongst that rabble.

**danbo** · 26-07-2006, 11:49 PM

I like to think that this forum has always been down the pisser - It's one of it's main attractions in my view. As for a perceived quiet period: I have one thing to say.........There! I've said it....What do you mean you couldn't hear it!?

Smeg, I cannot speak for Admin but as far as I'm concerned you were tolerated on this baord simply because you were not allowed to post on ANY other Thai-based forum. Obviously you are now, so please feel free to move on. I for one will be a lot happier to see the back of you.

Hopefully now I can try and encourage Ken to come back and give us some valuable input now your sorry arse ain't around no more

**Skulldigger** · 27-07-2006, 01:02 AM

Another soap in the making. Isn't this becoming more and more like the Thai TV afternoon dramas?

**dirtydog** · 27-07-2006, 01:08 AM

smeg it is nice to know that poolie invited you and hope you really enjoy it

Poolie was a mod here, and he is a tefler or something to do with teaching.

I LIKE THIS FORUM !

Can't explain why !

Have'nt figured out who are the good guys and who are the bad guys !

Maybe that's why I like it here. A good mixture!

**mrsquirrel** · 27-07-2006, 06:05 AM

HOw long ago did Poolie lose his modding abilitities then?

**Storekeeper** · 27-07-2006, 06:37 AM

Polecleaner should be ashamed of himself for letting AO and Lily run him off !!!!
