Well that didn't last long. Gay Thailand has decided to keep the Board as is ... i.e. not have it as a part of a porno site. GT pays attention to commentary on the various Boards regarding his latest nonsense. But he's selling it to ... ?? Then ~ on the cusp: A buyer leaves him high and dry.
Gay Thailand (Himself) will remain as a consultant with presumably the consultancy fees to match, and has decided not to blow 10-14 thousand bucks on the place which it badly needs (so says he)!! I wonder of Spike ever gave thought to blowing that much money on a renovation?
Gay Thailand doesn't seem to know which way to turn: keeping up the GayThailand Board means that Gaybutton's board is in addition to GayThailand, rather than a replacement. Are that many really needed?
Are there personal machination going on behind the scenes? A Baht Stop poster seems to think so. Will LMTU get the scoop on the Real Story? Will anyone believe him?
Weirdness trundles on down the yellow brick road in the the world O' Gay Boardieland in LoS.
The GayThailand.com board is here to stay. We will not be moving the url or the forum. All posts will stay in place. Nothing will go anywhere.
When I made the post a few days back, I thought that the move was a good move. After listening to the comments of many on the board who were not happy with the site being transferred over to a new domain, I was in contact with a guy in the USA who has offered to buy the site several months ago. We were close to a deal when I was in the USA but it fell through. But, in the end, this is a better move for me than to get members upset and it is a great way to enhance the Gay Thailand community of forums.
The money was deposited in escrow for the site and the paperwork is being sent to me; I hope to have this deal finalized soon. I'll then hand over the reins to a great couple that will be great running the board.
I will be staying on as a very active poster on this site and help in anyway I can to continue its growth. I know the new owner will want to make some changes to the site but my understanding is that these changes are to the front end of the website and not the Forum part of the site. The front end of the website is where the most traffic comes as many guys use it on a daily basis for finding a lover / BF / etc. The code that was written for the front end is out of date and old and needs a major revamp. Part of my reservation in continuing the site was putting another 10-14k into the site. I am not a programmer and thus can't fix things on the fly. The new owner's lover is much more computer savvy than I am and this will be easier for him.
Again, I want to thank everyone for making this site so great. I appreciate all the posters and participants.
