tommy dee Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Gentlemen, Since the passing of Lanza I have had 3 issues in mind 1).. he was a whiz at admin, I am not 2).. we planned that the forum would grow, but remain as it is with regard to the type of content 3).. I have paid the bills for years now and Phils wife has got nothing from this at all As a result, when I was approached, I put a package together including transfer of this forum, and spoke with Phil's wife ensuring she was happy. which see is The forum will continue, in the same way it is now, friendly, no tit pics, warm and welcome. but it will expand and gain more members. the new operators do NOT want this to become an Addicts or similar to any other board.. they want it to stay pretty much as it is. So when I tell you that Bryan Flowers/Nightwish is the new guvnor, it may come as a huge surprise. However I have known him for a long while and his plans for the board mirror those of Phil. Then did I take all the money, .. I can only imagine how much coverage that will get on boards so to be straight up, Phils wife has already received the funds as agreed (50% of the total package value). the amount is a private matter ( for obvious reasons) and as said, the package included more than just the forum here. I am still here, and welcome the slagfest that will no doubt follow. Its been a fab ride and will continue to be. Give it time and I am convinced you will enjoy the board even more than now Many thanks for your support over the years, and be assured, this was discussed with Phil when he was still around, and I am doing this knowing that he would not have any issue with it again thanks Tommy 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondropkid Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Well pleased Phil's wife is getting something out of this. Going to see how it goes, the forum could certainly do with some new members. Am not a Soi 6 man so never been a NightWish place, realise it has it detractors- better than Chinese money though? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Welcome to Addicts v 2.0!!! I understand the need to support Phil's wife and little 'un, but................................... Another nail into the fairly free speech that this forum and others has allowed its members to use! Soon there wont be criticism of any NWG bars allowed anywhere on the internet!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Bryan Flowers could walk past me i wouldn't know him, nor do i know much about Addicts, Nightwish 'group' or anything really to do with them. Just happy to real this forum will remain, stay autonomous, exist! Happy for Puang as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoggoBeast Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I can't see too much to worry about really. it looks like this forum needed to continue on and this was the best way to move forward and survive. I can''t see why the two forums can't coexist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1000 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Don't really know this guy, or much about Addicts. If the forum continues without some of the xenophobic characters around on some other forums, all is good. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillearly Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hope they give the forum a chance and get a feel for it , before shifting addicts mods across and installing new ones who want to promote their businesses, as per the video Addicts don't allow any political chat , so will the clubs be closed , at the moment that tends to confine it to one area and you can choose to interact or not .. Also we have three distinct areas ( general , advanced and vip ) where members have specifically chosen to post their threads and choose the audience that can view the content... hopefully this will be respected , with regards to past threads other than that, good luck to the new owners and hope the forum remains a welcoming and fun place to post 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Why would I care who owns the forum? As long as the content is interesting, I'll remain. My feelings about bar owners are just like this. If a bar has nice friendly scenery and prices are competitive I don't care who owns what. Live and let live. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy dee Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 your favourite mods are all still here, even nasty nick. one new mod has been added simply for them to get a feel for the board. they were impressed that we have the levels and the levels will stay. funny that you came up with many of the Q's I asked too. I am assured this sint gonna be addicts 2. wtf would they bother, it would simply dilute the posting and posters. watch this space, I reckon 247 will thrive in the next few months, much more than under just little old moi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fforest Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I dont think the Addicts forum members and this forum members are all that good of a mix ....Of the 4 Pattaya forums Addicts is by far the most strictly moderated ...Next would be Thai Visa and up till now the moderation here has been light and only used sparingly, which was one of the best things about the forum..... I would sure hate to see this change....... Edited February 9, 2021 by fforest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
