As a newbie of Boytoy and a veteran of Gayguides, I feel quite surprised for the news that Boytoy merges into Gayguides (formerly Gaythailand).
Unlike here, people in Gayguides mainly talk about travel experience in Thailand, and approximately only 20% posts involve content of other countries in Asia, with almost no content of coutries outside Asia. So the merger between Boytoy and Gayguides is such a great idea because we could now enjoy the various and exciting travel experience around the world, just in one site.
However, every forum indeed has its own unique characteristic, and consequently there would be some merger problems to sovle. Like the post rules and etc. Furthermore, when you enter Gayguides.com in your brower, you will see a destination-oriented travel information page instead of the main body (forum) of Gayguides, which might be a little bit confusing. To view the forum, you need click the colorful button besides the logo, then you could find the content you want to see. Frankly speaking, this design, which may serve for the purpose of making Gayguides.com to a sexy version Lonelyplanet.com, is not friendly for Boytoy user to find their new place.
By the way, I have an Gayguides account which has the same username (I mean, both my Boytoy and Gayguides accounts' name is yourlonelies). So just out of cuirosity, what is the consequence of my accounts after the transition? Looking forward to Administrator's reply, thanks a lot!
