    why does alternative to Western Union remain on Gay Thailand

    Surely this topic on bitcoin, despite being so interesting to surfcrest ,should be moved

    Because some / a lot members send money to their friends and loved ones from theirs Countries to Thailand and use western union to do that, hence the original discussion topic - if it pains you to read it then you don't have too. Some people have little to moan about.

    The original topic, Lonely my man, has morphed into other branches, other eras, other univereses (see: the Massive Hadron Collider etcetcetc).Ti'z the way of the world Lonely, on message boards ... try break dancing or Bitcoin peddlin': they are one of a kind.
    The philosophical part of this latest Lonely incomprehensible conversation is that thank christ Wombats are disqualified from running as candidates for the office of POTUS (or NZPM in N zealand). The downside is that actual Wombat's are in fact allowed to participate in the same genre during New Zealand's next election in 2068.
    Thank christ wombat's are close to extinction.
    Just another reason why I love living in Thailand

    As the OP for the thread I haven't thrown a tantrum when the topic has meandered off into a discussion about bitcoin. As Smiles says it's the way of the world when it comes to discussion boards like this. However a number of posters have asked why the Moderator hasn't split the bitcoin posts off from the original since they gave taken on a life of their own (the thread is up to 12 pages already). In the meantime it's encompassed the original topic, Bitcoin and Matt's attempted reconciliation with Kim. Bruce and Matt have been endlessly entertaining. Frankly it has kept me young but has also confirmed my views about Matt's IT "skills". Win-win.

    Rarely kommentariat do I agree with you, but when you look at the way some posts are transferred off the main board by surfcrest, it is not consistent.

    The question should also be asked about the daily reprint on non gay news, in protests update.

    You've got this long-running bee in your bonnet that we can only "talk gay" in the Thailand forum. The sub-text for the Forum is "Any and all subjects about Gay Thailand and all the stuff that happens in Gay Thailand". It doesn't say "Any and all gay subjects about Thailand and all the gay stuff that happens in Thailand". The subtext for the Gay World forum reads "Topics about anywhere on the planet". It's a reasonable inference therefore that if it's not about Thailand but is about somewhere else that we can locate it goes in Gay World; if it's about Thailand it goes in Gay Thailand; and if it's not location-specific eg. Bitcoin it goes in Everything Else, whose sub-text is "An open discussion forum on everything else"

    That convention has been in place for years and years and years - have you not been paying attention?

    Do you ONLY sit in bars and cafes and talk about gay subjects with friends, or do you have discussions about the wider world ? If it's only the former and not the latter then what a mundane and shallow existence you must lead, for me it's the breath of fresh air topics that crop up such a Bitcoin etc that make and keep the board fresh and worth coming back to check in on otherwise it would all be "how much for a beer and what's the off fee for a boy in XX" - how depressing is THAT !

    The bitcoin discussion is as boring as boring can get especially those two who are involved in it. Rather know more about boyz and beer in XX.
