Popular Post john luke Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 In just a few minutes, the forum will have been in existence for exactly one year. Firstly my thanks to Phil and Tommy ( @Lanzalad @tommy dee) for setting up the forum. This involved a great deal of hard and concentrated work. Secondly and most importantly, thanks to all the members who post and without doubt you are the main reason for the success of the forum. Too many to reference individually however, I will try a few, @Painter for his informative contributions particularly during his five month stays in Pattaya, similarly @Bazle who manages around 50% of his time in Pattaya, @forcebwithu for his photographs of daily life in Pattaya, @galenkia has had a difficult year and has posted what must have been a difficult topic concerning his alcohol addiction problem; this can not have been easy, @Krapow who has created many interesting, stimulating and contentious topics, @Ivan the terrible who contributes to the political threads in his own unique way, @Thai Spice who has created an interesting thread about life in Asia and also provided a view of Brexit from the other side of the channel, @Yesitisdakid whose knowledge and humour is second to none, @Yessongs for his photographic content, @nampla69 whose posts are unique. The list is endless however I must post this as I have less than six minutes to the 1000 am deadline. Thirdly, thanks to Phil ( @misteregg) , at Le Pub, for hosting a number of 247 meetings as well as his continued support for the forum. Our membership has continued to grow; around 50 members would log on in a 24 hour period in the early months of the forum, now the corresponding figure is between 130 and 150. Finally health has been an issue with a number of members; hospital treatment is never pleasant and I am sure everyone would wish all the best in this regard. Once again on behalf of the moderation and admin team may I thank all members for their support. Lastly an apology to members I have not included, I emphasise my thanks to all that have contributed over the last year.

Krapow Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Contentious, me??? I'm the least argumentative poster on here, as are my threads. Anyone says different, we can take this outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 And thanks to you @john luke and the rest of the Mod team, @Nickrock as well, and of course that old rascal @Nightcrawler who is currently undergoing some health issues, but assured me over the weekend he's hoping to be back posting soon. There's not much moderation needed here, thankfully, but what there is, is done quickly and efficiently without favour IMO. Thanks again! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Blimey, has it really been a year since I started enjoying reading and posting on an internet forum again? Well done all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just like to add my thanks to Phil and Tommy for creating this forum, which has given me hours of entertainment over the last year. And to the mods who have kept it on the straight and narrow. And to @Thinkingallowed who did so much to get the nascent forum off the ground. And to echo what you say about admin, mods and members who have been affected by health issues - some of which have been mentioned on the forum, and some not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lanzalad Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 A sterling job from all the members and staff.. 👍🏼 We couldn't have done it with out the content on which you all have contributed and its growing every day. My self and Tommy chatted many times in the days before the forum and we knew they was a gap for such a forum. Thank you all. 👍🏼 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Spice Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Thanks for mentioning me ! Indeed it feels sometimes lonely to be in the opposition..... But as a refugee on here, I know when to lay low . I mean, I wouldn't want to be deported to Issan for instance 😁😁😁 Naah, 95% all good on here ! And allows me to practice my english language skills in a more refined way than with the red flags ! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondropkid Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Really enjoying the forum. Good being in a largely civil place, free from the unpleasantness, trolling and pointless bickering. Have been genuinely touched by how friendly and welcoming people who didn't know me from Adam have been at meet-ups. Could mention several people here but special call-out to @Al McReady who seems to find some good in even the worst of us😍 This is the Love Forum after all 😀 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yessongs Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Well done to all the guys involved in getting this together, good to see personalities from all over the world. In this time for all of us no matter where you are from, with all of the crap going on in the world, this place on this forum feels real comfortable. @john luke Thanks for the shout out, I am not Ansel Adams, but I try hard to capture some fun times, at least for me....like yesterday LOL! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
