Olddaddy Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Hadn't bothered to look at gay forums for a few months except this one I'm surprised hardly any posts ,what's happened to them I remember 20 years ago they were buzzin with posts ,not nowadays This one seems the busiest of the two The sawatdee network was once number one , doesn't seem to be the case now. I guess older members are dying off and newer gay people to Thailand are not interested in forum writing? I used to like Baht stop forum now vanishing I guess 15 years , All these gay Thailand forums were once busy , this next generation don't seem as interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Old Daddy is right. And it's a shame. I also liked Baht-Stop; it was very different to other forums, more political, and that interested me. I learnt a lot about Thai politics from a few posters and was able- I can claim- to offer an unusual perspective on Palestine since I was spending a lot of time there in the early 2000s. The only explanation I can offer for the decline is that there are fewer gay visitors to Thailand than twenty years ago. Furthermore, there may be less interest, perhaps, in "literary" communication and (here's shot in the dark!) the gradual replacement of lap-tops by phones and the consequent increased difficulty of posting more than slogans -at least for me- has contributed.

Olddaddy Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 You'd think with the now modern use of phones instead of having to wait to use a desktop and laptop,people would be actually posting more Baht stop was great ,I used to love that Hominterm guy I recall a rumour there was a fatal car accident with the owners of that forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess older members are dying off and newer gay people to Thailand are not interested in forum writing? According to my statistics, traffic on SGT has increased almost 1.5 times compared to pre-Covid times. But the behavior of visitors has changed: they come, read, follow links, but are not involved in discussions. Perhaps because they have nothing else to say - they are going for the first time. SGT has a mobile version, although not the most modern. Well, a significant fact is that meat hunters have modern tools - mobile dating applications. They come, read about hotels, where to go, what to see, but they call guys from apps, so they have nothing to say about bars and go-go. vinapu and Olddaddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It recognises one of the positives of Pattaya and Bangkok, that even when those activities which gave such immense pleasure over the first ten years of my visits are no longer part of my experience, there is still much on offer that can enjoy together.

spoon Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Right now, i get more info from reviews through telegram groups. That could be one of the reason forums are losing posters.

I did not have you in mind. Was thinking more about those who at the same breath say they did not visit bar in so many years AND still comment on bars offerings and goings. Which is fair but bit illogical. Mavica, Phoenixblue, floridarob and 2 others 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
