There's a little more to it than just that. Best I not say too much but it was a question of threats of liability, the Thai way.
Allen, is the one who just got fed up with the trolls and one poster who would not quit.
GB ran into a problem with the Thai censor and called it quits but many would claim he chased everyone off before that problem.

Yes, the local real estate mafia capo didn't take kindly to someone who was making noises that undercut his business. Thus the threatened lawsuit. And someone else was pocketing some nice change for matching up boys with farang ... because it would be so difficult for a farang to find a Thai boy in Thailand. :drunken: The less charitable considered it pimping. That same individual was always threatening to write a book about gay Thailand, which I found a real hoot considering how clueless he was about all but the most superficial facts of life here.

Can't recall what name I used on Dreaded Ned or GB. I briefly used "London Laddie" on Dreaded Ned in a highly successful campaign to elevate Mr. Smiles blood pressure.

I started on PattayGay as X, but then couldn't resurrect that name/password after an absence caused by Islamic censoring so, in order to aggravate David-in-Pattaya, I changed to x-in-Pattaya. It's been about 5 or 6 years since David passed away. I guess he had a good & generous heart, but he had to be third only to GB & Hedda as an irritating poster.
