Popular Post thumper63 Posted September 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2019 So it's finally official, sad to see the old girl finally go. I grew up on that forum and made many many friends there. And for a long time it was the best Pattaya forum going. But sadly all good things do come to an end. But on the bright side. I found this new forum called Thailand247 and it's got everything going for itself to have a very bright future. So I think I'll stick around and for the next 10 years and see how she goes. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing i like about this forum is there are no shit stirrers and trolls,those were kicked out early doors.Everyone posts in a decent way so it don't put new members off. We have the good members from the other forums,just need Big John and Strider to start their photo threads on here. I love the banter here,The Ashes thread being a prime example of it,and hope it continues the same way. 6 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see it happen; a chunk of Pattaya history and tens of thousands of posts and pictures have disappeared along with it. I guess it was inevitable once the board lost momentum, but nevertheless still sad.

A couple of the more notable bridge dwellers haven't even bothered to join. Well done!

Many of us have tried to get striderman over here he's a stubborn son of a bitch having some drinks with him on Wednesday I'll push him once again. Big John has been here for ages now that secrets is gone I'm sure he's going to come out of the closet.

Yes i was made aware of that many moons ago but i'm not comfortable leaving it in a public place out in the open plus i like to have access to it 24/7 for depositing goods and chattels acquired, is there any security there ? Where i stay at the LK Metropole they have all i require but its a pain in the arse if you're looking at WS for a night out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The registration for the domain name secretsasia.com expires Registry Expiry Date: 2020-06-30T19:36:38Z so someone may be able to grab it in about 9 months time. As to the actual forum content, I believe that many of the problems with the downtime experienced in the last couple of years was that there wasn't any backup. All the decent content was lost with the move to the single level. I also believe that when a forum is moved to Tapatalk it's almost impossible to get it back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have a couple of guys who hand out tickets, maybe the patrol as well. It is also a temple car park so may spook a few locals from theft. Not sure about the monks though lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
