steveboy Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Gay chat rooms have a history of coming and going at the moment after looking at Sawadtee Gay it appears to be the later. This is sad, but a reality of online forums in general. By participating in a forum, we leave something behind when the forum closes. The French have a name: "pettite mort", which although has the meaning of orgasm, can fit here too.
Popular Post vinapu Posted November 5, 2017 Popular Post Posted November 5, 2017 I read them daily and don't smell any stench of death but because a lot of posts there is just snapping at each other I'm not sure my time reading is spent the best way. Not much gay nor Thai in those posts. But if contributors there have fun as it is now, let them have it. Every forum is as good or as bad as contributors and mods made it.

stijntje Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 What happens in Vegas, should stay in Vegas. What happens on another forum, should stay there. Don't open topics about it here.
steveboy Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 What happens in Vegas, should stay in Vegas. Is this a new law of nature or religious dogma?
vinapu Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 What happens in Vegas, should stay in Vegas. What happens on another forum, should stay there. Don't open topics about it here. While generally you are correct such topic serves purpose- newcomers to a world of gay Thailand forums may not be aware about existence of other forums like Sawatdee or Gaybutton. Let them go there and make their own mind what they like. I don't think is any competition between forums to grab readership and quite a few posters are active on all three. reader 1
steveboy Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Some posters cannot get enough from one forum.
williewillie Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 It’s already come apart at the seams. After it fell apart, all that’s left is the Bitch Board.

If you could make a positive contribution there, rather than just look at it, maybe you would be able to "save" it. Just saying.....
Londoner Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Perhaps you should read the latest [posts on the subject of opportunities for young gay men from Isaan. Six pages of interesting, informed and non-abusive comment. a447a 1

a447a Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 And the figures alone suggest otherwise. As of 5:43 pm "There are currently 611 users browsing this forum. (60 members & 551 guests)" The numbers increase dramatically as the night continues as the rest of the world wakes up. There is life in all 3 forums. They just cater to different audiences. bobsaigon 1
reader Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 For a place that's said to be falling apart, SN sure attracts a lot of readers. I scan the posts there periodically and find some of the banter entertaining as I do the occasional trip reports and other info. To me it's sort of like reading a newspaper: I don't read every article but I find enough to make it worthwhile. Moses and a447a 2
Alexx Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Ah, nothing much to see here, yet another premature obituary. I should have known.
Guest Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Short report: membership at SGT expanded twice for past 1.5 years, alexa.com ranks SGT higher than any other forums of "our trio" I was going to stay clear of this thread, since I think the place to discuss concerns on the forum where you have the concern. However, in response to the SGT board owner posting here, Alexa may indeed rank SGT higher in terms of number of visitors or whatever measure they use. However, it is (presumably) just that, a volume weighted metric, rather than a quality weighted one. Fine if volume is what you chase. There is a risk that there is some damping in the system too. If the quality of content changes, it may take a while for the volume of visitors to assess the increase/decrease in quality and increase/decrease their visit frequency. One thing is clear, all of us have the freedom to visit any one of the 3 main forums, which have different levels of moderation. Finally, there is the freedom to set up your own forum.
Popular Post Guest Posted November 6, 2017 Popular Post Posted November 6, 2017 Enough! Anyone who did not know about any other Board has presumably learned about them now. If you want to say anything critical about another Board then go to that Board and join and voice your criticisms. PeterRS, steveboy, GWMinUS and 7 others 10
