With the number of polls I have been responsible for having started of late, it is probably no longer a secret, that another one of my handles on this forum I am known under, is Raksiam.
In all seriousness, as a result of recent polls and the comments that have been made by many members here, as to the worth of these polls in obtaining any degree of accuracy by the results that one obtains from them, I would like to ask for the assistance of all registered members here.
I have made no firm decision yet as to how I would run this years gathering if it were to go ahead with my plan to organise it and for the record, I would very much, still like to host it. I am very close to arriving at a decision now, thanks to some really worthwhile posts that have been made by some members here, along with some very constructive Pm's I have received from other members on the matter.
In the above poll, I ask you to please, just for once, if the feelings about all of the previous polls are to be believed, to vote just the one time, no matter how many handles you have here, as well as to please vote honestly. That's not asking too much guys, is it?
I know that Rainwalker has made previous gatherings open to the members of all of Thailand's Gay Forums, but if I manage to be able to get this years one of the ground, it will be my intention for it to be only for the members of this forum and the one of Gay Ting Tong. However, one decision I have already made, is to contact Gaybutton and certain other moderators and inform them, that if any of their members wish to attend the gathering, it will be necessary for them to email me, requesting an invitation.
I have already been notified by some members of Ting Tong, that if this years gathering takes place, they would definitely like to attend. Please don't assume anything about my eventual intentions by any of the above questions in the poll, as I can promise you that if you do, your chances of being proved correct, would not be very high.
May I also ask the members here, as I asked those on Ting Tong, that if you reside here in Pattaya, or will be here on vacation in December and would definitely like to attend, still go ahead and partake in the poll by all means, but could you also please pm me, with that firm intention of yours. I would be really appreciative in your doing this. I have always maintained that this forum has some really nice guys among it's members and believe also, those members to be in the greater majority here.
Some of those members here have already indicated to me, like those on Ting Tong, that they would definitely like to attend a gathering this year, so for those of you that haven't and also to those among you, that I havn't had the pleasure of meeting yet, could you please consider doing likewise, in sending me that pm I have asked for above.
For those of you that have never attended a forums gathering before, I am certain that among those you know that have, they will inform you that it usually turns out to be a really good day and one, where the majority of those present, have a very enjoyable time. Well let's be honest and fair, I say majority as there are some miserable bastards, who just don't know how to enjoy themselves, as well as those that are determined to remain fucking miserable, no matter what.Well, true or not?
My questions in the poll have been prompted by some of the posts that have been made here, such as the ones I mentioned above. I will see how this poll goes and hopefully, if all goes to plan, I should be able to post some positive news with regard to the gathering, by the last week of this month. I will also post, how it will be conducted, where it will be held and lastly, how long it will be held for. That last part I already have a very firm idea on, which I believe some of you will find interesting, to say the least.
As it appears that I am unable to get multiple answers in the poll, for those of you that post and I hope many of you do, could you give your opinion on the following qustion: If food and drinks were provided free, would you be prepared to make a donation of 500 Baht to Thais4Life, or would the donation being asked for, no mater what your reasons, personal or otherwise, stop you from attending?
Lastly, if you don't reside here in Thailand and are not going to be here in December, please take into consideration the fact, that there is absolutely no fucking point whatsoever in your bothering to vote. Cow jai? Hardly rocket science we are dealing with here guys, is it?
Thanks to those of you that have taken the time to read this post of mine and thanks also in advance, for what will hopefully be your co-operation in this matter. My aplogies also for another one of my novels.
Cheers,
George.
