Is this where I start saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" again . . . ?

I think it's a plant. If I remember correctly it's some sort of a shrub and I think in a desert somewhere, but I don't remember where.

Isn't there an option to delete the phonies rather than inactivate them? I prefer deleting them because I'll have an accurate membership list and my board will show an accurate number of registered members. In any case, maybe this is a good time to explain to everyone why these phony registration companies do this. I'm going to leave it to you to do the explaining. You explained it to me before, but you know much more about it than I do.

I can answer that for you because it's precisely the same problem I had with my own board. The phony Russian bot company has found this board. I get up to 100 of these phony bot registrations daily, and often more than that. That's why I disabled automatic registration on my board and personally approve new registrations. I also require people registering legitimately to send a confirmation Email to me before I'll approve their registration - to make sure it's actually a human registering and not a bot. Every few days I do a sweep-out of the phonies. I don't know how the software works on this board, but on mine it's quite simple - one click and presto! They're gone. This board will probably have to do something similar to put a stop to it.

I have a much more effective method. I just picture you lurking in a toilet, cottaging. That causes a total loss of appetite, along with acute nausea. Usually lasts for days . . .

Of course I knew. That's the film you keep showing over and over again at the Salubrious Estate. I'd comment on the rest of your post, but it's too incoherent to be understandable - just like most of your posts.

You don't have to worry. I stopped looking in the mirror at all long ago. I kept running out of tissue to wipe away my tears . . . I'm on a diet too. My goal is within the next six years being able to see my feet.

What do you mean, "old"!?!?!

Given that you're shocked brings tears to my eyes - nobody's perfect . . .

I'm not outraged at all. I couldn't care less about HeyGay's opinion about anything. I also couldn't care less if he wants to haunt toilets to look for boys. The one thing he does well, in my opinion, is reporting bar information. He does do a good job of that. It would be nice, however, if he would at least start writing coherently in the language the rest of us have agreed upon. Other than that, the rest of it is, again only my personal opinion, what you would find in an un-flushed toilet in some of those places he goes cottaging. I did hear, however, he managed to pick up a true "stunner" - a genuine "quality" boy at one of those toilets, and took him back to the Salubrious Estate and onto his king-size water bed. Afterwards the boy gave the bed a name: "The Dead Sea."

Thank God for that! I can't think of anything on earth more revolting than the idea of you putting anything in my mouth. "What a nauseating prospect!" - Charles Laughton (Sir Wilfrid), 'Witness for the Prosecution'

Well said. Very well said.

Are you actually serious? HeyGay, under his various guises, has been trying to tell people what they're supposed to like for years with his "stunner," "man boy" and "high pitched voice fem boys" posts and has been trying to claim that Sunee Plaza is virtually all fem boys, which is absolutely not true. If anybody is going to tell me about standards, what boys to like, or what constitutes a "quality boy," a handsome boy, or anything else about boys, I guarantee it isn't going to be HeyGay.

I prefer to set my own standards. I see no need for someone else to tell me what my standards ought to be or what kinds of boys I'm supposed to like. I don't agree with your interpretation of a quality farang. The boys are going to flock around the farang who gives them the most money or the farang who buys a whole bottle of whiskey and invites all of them to partake. To me, a quality farang is someone who treats the boys like people, with kindness, understanding, and takes an interest in making sure the boy has an enjoyable time too. No matter how much money some may give the boys and no matter how much whiskey they buy for the boys, if they're treating the boys as nothing more than sex objects and don't really give a damn whether the boy is having a good time or not, that's not my idea of a quality farang. As we all well know and far too many of us have seen, some farang treat these boys like shit. I wish those types would stay out of Thailand entirely.

Not really. I just get a little bit annoyed when someone appoints himself as the decision maker as to what constitutes a "quality boy." Maybe it would be better to talk about what constitutes a "quality farang" when it comes to how some people treat these boys as nothing more than sex objects for their own personal pleasure.

If I don't know what I'm missing by foregoing cottaging, I fully intend to keep it that way. Odd as it may seem, if I want to "hunt" for boys, I won't be doing that hunting in a toilet. However, when I do hunt in the places I prefer, if I find what I'm looking for, may I bring him for a grand tour of the salubrious estate?

Be careful about lighting that candle. If anyone happens to be emitting a certain amount of methane, you might blow up the whole restroom. "Why do we say, "take a shit"? You don't take a shit. You leave a shit. I don't know anybody who takes a shit unless he's adding to a really unique collection." - George Carlin

True, true. I can't disagree with that. I forgot to consider just how romantic a public toilet can be. I'm going to bring some candles and a bottle of wine next time I go to take a shit . . .

How can you be such a HeyGay fan and not know what cottaging is? That's the term he uses when he tells us all about his wonderful successes picking up "stunners" in toilets. After all, there's nothing like a nice, charming, romantic atmosphere to become sexually aroused. I'll bet it makes a big hit when the cleaning lady walks in with her mop . . .

What, may I ask, is your idea of a "quality" boy? You didn't mention cottaging. What's the matter, can't you find "quality" boys while cottaging anymore?

Bloody Saturday is the name of a black-and-white photograph that was published widely in September–October 1937 and in less than a month had been seen by more than 136 million viewers.Depicting a Chinese baby crying within the bombed-out ruins of Shanghai South Railway Station, the photograph became known as a cultural icon demonstrating Japanese wartime atrocities in China. Much more to the story can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Saturday_%28photograph%29

I like their list and I agree with it, but theirs is not the only list. I have a few of my own. I don't know how iconic they are, but I'll bet most people will instantly recognize them:

Regarding The Ambiance or Le Café Royale, I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending one over the other. In my opinion you won't go wrong with either of them. They're both about the same and they're directly across from each other. If you go out the door of one, walk about ten steps and you're entering the other. I understand, however, that The Ambiance has been trying to attract a more heterosexual crowd lately. Just why they would want to do that in the middle of one of the world's most gay areas goes beyond me. Nevertheless that's what I was told. I have not heard anything similar about Le Café Royale, but both are still equally good choices. As far as I know, The Ambiance is still as gay as ever. If it's true they're trying to attract the heterosexual crowd, that doesn't mean they're getting the heterosexual crowd.

Yes, I see it. I wonder why they're not charging me, not that I'm going to argue with them about it. Maybe it's because I've had my account with them since the days when they were still Thai Farmers Bank. That's exactly what people need to understand. Don't give up if at one branch you don't get you want. Just go to another branch and bingo! Totally different answer.
