Click the yellow expat diary on top of the new posts search page. All sorts of good stuff there as well in TD links.
TD is content rich but the content is dated. Needs updating. Care and feeding of content died with DD. Get content updated and visable on search engines. Will go a long way to getting more members.
Dump the escort ads.
Sort the ancient pic post process along with other not user friendly stuff.
Get rid of 90% of the doghouse threads.
Dump speakers corner or fix it.
Keep OPs that have fuck all to do with SE Asia or Asia at a minimum.
Plus a long list of other things that need to be done to revitalize the site.
A lot of work and gonna cost a bit but if TD is to improve, ownership must take the lead and as with Nike, just do it. Do nothing and it will remain as it is. A slowly but surely dying website.
