To clarify for you Smileykins. The hat trick you scored was not for derailing a pleasant and enjoyable thread, although you did do that so well done to you. It was for insulting another member. Now, I realise that as a former owner you think you should be allowed to just drop in anywhere you choose and post anything you like about anyone at all but it's not your house anymore so perhaps you could wipe your feet before you come in. Slim chance I know.

The post below is entirely the opinion of Arsenal the poster and not the moderator, nor have I discussed this with anyone else.
And Smiles, since we're on the subject precisely because you want to bring it up in every single post I'll tell you something else. Who are the losers in the fallout from this. Me, well no because my popularity here could hardly be any lower and it is of zero importance. You, well no because 3 or 6 points is of equal zero importance because it's not a driving license or anything real. Moses, well no because he's simply got much bigger fish to fry. No, the losers are those members who lose no opportunity to charge en masse at Moses or the mods whenever anything like this happens. To date I believe there have been four of these shitfests and it's always the same members who do the charging. You, rather slyly slid away quietly when the going got savage I noticed,.
So at some point one of two things will probably happen. * Either Moses will tire of those same members screaming the same things again and again every time any little thing happens and he will simply delete them.* In fact, if he got a few of his friends round and a good bottle of Russian vodka they could probably turn deleting the screamers into a fun but non-lethal game of Russian Roulette. Or he will tire of the whole fucking place and notice that all it does is cost money and that the benefits to Siam Roads could just as easily be served on other sites and shuts the thing down. So the losers will either be the screamers or everyone. So again I say to you, you pitched up in one of the nicest threads we've had for ages and took a bitter and spiteful shit just to please yourself so again I say well done.
*Anyone here want to seriously claim they wouldn't tire of it?*
I repeat, The post above is entirely the opinion of the poster Arsenal and not the mod and I have not discussed this matter with anyone else.

But since it is so far off topic already I don't have any compunction in continuing that by saying even with some of the childish nonsense and cringe worthy posts by members of the moderating 'team' recently, arsenal has somehow managed to set a new low in using his 'position' to take petty personal revenge on a member. I thought this type of infantile, petty revenge had ended at SGT the day previous owners surfcrest and Neal, who engaged in it frequently during their tenure, left. This, as well as some other recent pronouncements by mods is embarrassing and has turned parts of this once excellent forum in to a circus....and that's a pity as so many of us use it for touching base with things Thai when not in Thailand, and it's clearly putting off many current and previous contributors from taking the time to post relevant, interesting and useful information in favour of the forum being swamped by flooders and smart arse goons dragging their drivel and 'banter' from one thread to the other compounded by inconsistent, whim based moderation.......
At one stage not long ago in the past I only needed to log on here to find out the bulk of what I wanted to know about gay Thailand, now one needs to visit Gaybutt and gay Thailand to get the full picture. Gay Thailand has consistently offered up good 'to the point' posts without multiple thread-fucks recently, and that's what SGT was always known for and excelled at in the past. Disappointing and sad state of affairs at SGT nowadays. I would never stop posting and reading here, but I have found less enthusiasm to make contributions here on the same regular basis as I used to. I know there are many others out there with that same sentiment.

So Newalaan if you don't like it now and you didn't like it under Surfcrest and you didn't like it under Neal, when exactly was it that it was "once great"?
Arsenal, please don't misquote me or put words in my mouth. I never said anywhere I 'didn't like' SGT under surfcrest or Neal, or indeed 'now'. I didn't visit SGT forum to interact with either of these owners, I visited to interact with other members, what I specifically said was they used their position as owners/mods to exact petty revenge on members who criticised, commented on or disagreed with them. The plainly ridiculous, infantile treatment of smiles stinks and hints at a return to that ugly petty personal side of Neal and surfcrest's unfortunate tenures.
Under the ownership of smiles and then spike was when the SGT forum was clearly and consistently at it's best IMHO. Many here also forget that even in the first part of Neal's finally destructive ownership very little changed at SGT from smiles and spike's time for a while. So in your words 'once great' (as in edgy, unique, interesting, varied and most enjoyable) would be during smiles, spike's and 1/3rd of Neal's time.

Let's not forget, Mr. Happy was once Alaan from 2007 to 2012 and then newalaan from 2010 to 2012 and now this third incarnation, newalaan2...because quitting and coming back is what great members like newalaan2 do when they're happy.

You are a liar! I have never 'quit' SGT or any forum anywhere in my life. You are also a fool because despite your access to information you clearly are unable to process it. I have been perfectly happy (as you rightly note above) throughout my continuous time at SGT as I've always enjoyed interaction with the members here. 2/3's of neal's time and the whole of your ownership, disastrous as they were, due to the interesting and edgy forum which SGT had been best known for finally being totally ruined by you, even though probably contributing much less..........I still made time to post and read here. It was my forum long before you and your ego turned up, you were but a 'blip' in the forum's history as far as I am concerned.
Facts you were unable to process.....facts of course being something you have always paid little heed to. Alaan was changed because during Spikes ownership there were problems with myself (and other members) being unable to access certain parts of the board like using quote facility, PMs etc, at the time I was informed the only way to 'get round it' was to re-register under another handle. Newalaan to newalaan2 happened under Neal's ownership when finally near the end he 'suspended' newalaan because I didn't reply quick enough to one of his PM's and he was miffed. I had already decided not to make any further contact with him via email by that time and so simply set up another handle to find out what was going on and reply to the original PM, he then complained I had two handles even though I couldn't use one and he decided to cancel the newalaan one.

No Mr. Happy, you and I both know this is not so. Your incredibly happy disposition has been your "M.O." since the beginning, yelling at and calling a "liar" anyone that doesn't agree with your pathetic views. You have zero examples of this disastrous period of ownership or and specificly related to you personally. You come across as some "entitled bitch" that thinks she can tell an owner how to run their business and jump up and down if they don't listen or take heed. I always thought you were a woman pretending to be a gay man until some members claimed they met you.

How uncanny. People have said the same of a747 and even those who've met her say they're still not sure!!
