This post should more probably be nestled into the 'Board Business' forum, but let's face facts ... hardly anyone reads a forum that far down the page (almost to Purgatory some would say), and is arguably dull and dry to boot. Moon-faced gay almost-retired accountants employed by the Canada Revenue Agency might enjoy it ... but ...
So, I'll try this here, assuming that it will be moved sooner or later by some moderator, or whoever is in charge of the day-to-day stuff. Does Surfcrest have a Moderator besides himself?
But anyway: a thread to read on this here anniversary of Surfcrest's coup d'etat would be this one ( have-had-new-forum-the-only-one-t28809.html?hilit=Neal (http://sawatdeenetwork.com/forum/have-had-new-forum-the-only-one-t28809.html?hilit=Neal) ], an eleven-pager filled with angst and blut und boden and hosannas and fireworks that Neal had finally taken a powder and in fact, one year on, seems to have not just left his Rag of Shame, but in fact, left this planet.
One year on, and I feel ~ in the bone ~ that Sawatdee has come through that dark fog on the other side into a version of Boardieland light. There seems (I've done no survey, counted no posts, delved not deep at all into the topics) to be a quiet renaissance here-a-bouts: many new handles popping up here and there (giving rise to marvelously-worded topics such as "I want a Thai cock inside me". Somehow even that feels refreshing after Neal's bullying puritanical tenure); many old posters from 'before' coming back (for some time I've held a vague feeling that 'something-was-missing' until the charming sexcapades of a447 and Latinsmallpox began popping up again) ... and best of all, a noticeable move away from a general nastiness and towards some good humour once again: though hopefully always intertwined with a dash of Sawatdee edginess.
Anyone else feel this?
I won't go on ~ besides the poll ~ but just thought I'd send some kudos Surfcrest's way for the patient and fair way he's handled the re-launch, one year on.
