I have had PM's re a new forum.Am I the only one?

Holy christ, Nealsy is going totally bonkers! A man possessed.
When I first took a look at that Bitch Board, there was only 1 post from Fred (Flintstone): i.e. the one I made reference to a few posts back. Now 20 minutes or so later there are 5 posts, all whining about his assorted enemies, backstabbers, cheaters, liars and other not nice people. You can`t make this stuff up! So incomprehensibly juvenile yet so embarrassingly fascinating ... kind of like watching a heavily-sweating, leering Jimmy Swaggart dash and gallop all over the stage praising to god and doing the secretary behind the stage`s heavy black curtain.

I have a very difficult time reading the PBB with a very close up of some guyтАЩs anus waiting for me each and every time I make my way through the sentence to the right of the page. How do these тАЬNellie NanciesтАЭ function at all in this sort of environment? Funny how NealтАЩs hydras are allowed to run amuck at the PBB while they point their long nails in our direction for the same issue.

I do love poleaxe thoughтАж..the only spot in the PBB undies not soiled yet by a nasty brown skid mark.

Surely their obsession with SGT is indicative of where they really spend most of their time....so welcome Nancies!

Considering the fiasco Neal created recently on Gaybuttonthai, beginning as "Canadien" morphing into "Captaincrunch" and finally emerging as "Neal" I would say he has some issues.

I don't understand why you think that I am Neal but this is totally untrue. I am myself and no one other.

it makes me wonder why our beloved beachlover never bought the board when neal did .. when you consider he buys and sells boards and makes millions of pounds a year doing so, plus he was at that time posting on here 25/7..
it was a match made in heaven, but didnt happen.. one wonders why ? well i do anyway. probably had to do a days work on the day the board was sold so missed out on the chance to own it ... those odd days work every 2 or 3 years can be a right bugger huh beachy ?

Always claims a comfortable living can be made "from Boards like this" but has no answer to how a living can be made where the audience is (a) a tiny minority (gay guys) (b) an even tinier minority (older gay guys) (c) a yet tinier minority (older gay guys who go to Thailand and specifically Pattaya). What's the number of regular posters? Twenty?

There are only two ways of making decent money online - pornography and gambling. You can also use your site as a storefront (just another way of promoting your offline goods or services eg. Neal's pimping service aka. a gogo bar) or if you're really good at it selling information (all those investment newsletters) ... or hope like hell that you can attract enough visitors to your site because the content is so compelling to justify the prices you would like to charge people to advertise on your site with a view to attracting business to their Web site. Again, what's the number of regular posters? Twenty? Bitch fights don't make for compelling content except to the participants (and people like me who fall about laughing every time I visit SGT).

You mentioned Beachlover's great friend "combat" in another post. I always thought they were one and the same person; didn't combat once let slip that he has actually met Beachlover (the only poster who ever has)?

we have made the news elsewhere.

I always find the cartoons on that blog quite amusing!!

[loke]

In my opinion the only real forum with interesting news about the gay scene in Thailand is Gaybuttons.

Unless someone decides to do something about it.

[netrix]

wow i missed all the drama. haven't logged in for a few months and look what happens. :ow:

[Beachlover]

"Sites like this"??? You mean sites that are developed for pensioners who go to Pattaya for their holidays in the hope of cheap food, cheap drinks and cheap boys, and whine when they don't find them? Plenty of money advertising to that demographic! :leb:

No... I was referring to forum and online community sites in general. Not this specific target audience. Personally, I think this site could generate an ok chunk of pocket money at best so you would want to be owning several other sites at the same time to get economies of scale and make the effort worthwhile.

I think some of the other Thai expat sites generate decent revenue though. The controversial subject matter and volatility of this site is an obstacle but also gives it a niche.

Slightly wrong, I was advising the first bidder, Neal offered silly money and got it. Nobody backed out.

Sorry... I was just going off what I was told by another party.

My perspective of Spike is quite a bit different than yours Beachlover. I never saw him as someone who simply didnтАЩt care

You are right that Spike did care... I was actually referring to the last 1-2 years that he owned it. It was in those last 1-2 years that it seems he didn't care what happened. Even let the site go down for several days or weeks at a time because the hosting bill was overdue. But I think he was quite pro-active prior to that.

On another note, I would use a professional (a developer experienced with this platform) to manage and make any changes you want to make. Better than getting a self-taught amateur to f*** about for hours trying to figure out this or that and doing a piss poor job of it, which is what Neal probably did. There's plenty of experienced professionals out there. They cost peanuts (e.g. would easily be less than $1,000 to get a simple site like this up, custom designed and professionally configured the way you want it) and will do a professional job without wasting your time.

In my opinion the only real forum with interesting news about the gay scene in Thailand is Gaybuttons.

Nah... I disagree that GBT offers interesting news about the gay scene in Thailand. His site is 90% focused on the commercial sex scene in Pattaya and there is little about life outside that scene. Having said that, the other gay only sites aren't too much better in that respect.

[Surfcrest]

Not this specific target audience. I think some of the other Thai expat sites generate decent revenue though. The controversial subject matter and volatility of this site is an obstacle but also gives it a niche.

You are absolutely right; it does depend on your audience and from a longer term perspective, your target audience. A great example of that would be with the Bitch Board aye, a board whose audience is limited to talking about other boards or characters within other boards. Even the target audience is limited to this by virtue of the name and so their draw base for new membership limited to the exiles or the disenfranchised from other boards, not necessarily anyone interested in Gay ThailandтАжor even Thailand for that matter. If the Gay Thailand boards that they like to talk about die off, like the doom and gloom story they like to predict everydayтАжthen theyтАЩll undoubtedly be the first to go.

Sorry... I was just going off what I was told by another party.

I can only imagine your source of information is the most unreliable source in Pattaya. I think he has demonstrated many times over, from when he burst on the scene reviewing his own bar as a complete stranger when he was justme all the way to the cruisinggaythailand scandal how true anything he says is. What I find the most amusing is that he canтАЩt get anyone to come over тАЬto be dominatedтАЭ in his cruisinggaythailand bed and so not only has he slipped between the sheets at the Bitch Board, but heтАЩs also doing his best to dominate over there. So, if you are missing him...that's the place you'll want to be!

You are right that Spike did care... I was actually referring to the last 1-2 years that he owned it. It was in those last 1-2 years that it seems he didn't care what happened. Even let the site go down for several days or weeks at a time because the hosting bill was overdue. But I think he was quite pro-active prior to that.

They cost peanuts (e.g. would easily be less than $1,000 to get a simple site like this up, custom designed and professionally configured the way you want it) and will do a professional job without wasting your time.

AgainтАжI would question your source of information.

There are three of us at the controls of this site. The experienced professional that you speak of is dante and jinks is our interim moderator until I take over the responsibility. There is no one else secretly at the controlsтАжwhispering in our earsтАжor any of the nonsense you may have heard.

As for a re-design, we are looking at that now. Really, we need to think of our target audienceтАжwhich is (for growth purposes) new gay visitors to ThailandтАжbut also to stay recognizable and familiar to our current membership and to our followers. Members will come from other communities, as they do now because this is the place to be simply based on our membership. I mean, if we are interesting enough to have another board following us like the paparazziтАжthen clearly thereтАЩs cause to be hereтАжif only to eavesdrop.

Appreciate that we just took over earlier this month and yes, we do see the need for improvement and updating based on how the site looks like today. We have a pretty good understanding now of our infrastructure, what it is we can and cannot do and are ready to look at making some incremental changes next over time. Until then, behind the scenes weтАЩll continue to keep the site humming while we work on some of this change.
