People use to post their Thai experiences.... We analyzed their writing style, insinuated they were molesters, users or unhappy in life... Or we claimed they were stupid, weak or foolish. They defended themselves but stopped posting for the most part.
Some guys use to post about their life and times in Pattaya... We investigated and investigated until we had an idea of who they were in real life and then went on the attack. They defended themselves but have stopped posting for the most part.
Sometimes new people will ask a question that was talked about months ago... We attack that new person and demand that they search the archives because we are far too busy to answer their question beyond demanding they search the archive and question if they are new at all to begin with. They defend their question and go back to being a lurker and stop posting for the most part.
We use to have guys on here that were a wealth of information on almost all things related to Thailand. IF you needed help on almost anything, they were there! They would post a map or a schedule along with some sage advice... Thanks to him, many of us had wonderful vacations, in large part thanks to him. I wonder what happened to him and the other guys like him?
Not so long ago, I felt as if I was getting to know the people here. Everyone shared a little of who they were. Their stories created a feeling of community and I often wondered if I too could experience the things they wrote about?
I have stayed at hotels because I read about the hotel on here..
I have walked down streets because of the stores I read on here...
I have eaten at restaurants; sat in bars, danced at discos and lounged at saunas simply because a poster mentioned an experience they had or suggested we try it...
Now we are lucky if we get 2 old-fashioned posts in a monthтАЩs time....
Now every topic turns into a fight. Not a good fight like Sanitree vs Pearl but a boring fight like one would have with boygeenyus or Hedda..... It sucks... So now what? Hit refresh and hope for the best?
