  1. Me thinks this may be the same person (different names) banned from this site at least 10 times in the past. I'll keep a watchful eye. Thanks for the heads up!
  2. You asked for it, you got it.
  3. LOL Great question. I went for the first time in 2001 and I have yet to go to Brazil and not meet at least one person I met on that first trip.
  4. I do honestly think that is both true and false. It depends on the guy and the number of clients looking for twinks. For example, the highest I ever paid for a garato in Brazil was a young 18-year-old twink. He was active, busy and always expensive. There is something about a true twink that some guys love. However, in the saunas in Brazil, I think many Brazilian customers like the manly man and thus those guys are more in demand. Again, depending on the sauna. Fragata used for that as well. Times change. But, you are right, a big muscle guy would not be the first one to catch my attention and if they 1/2 their price, it would still be of no value to me. That is why I often have to stay in saunas longer than you perhaps. I am waiting for my type and they are rarer. But, also more precious. (at least in the twinkle of my eye)
  5. I do not haggle over price. I ask a rate. If it is what I am willing to pay, I'll say yes. If not, I'll say no. Or, I'll be very upfront and say what I am willing to pay and ask if they are interested. If they are, we have a date, if not, we don't. I have had very few over the years not go with me but there were some who neither of us was willing to budge. I found that the more known quantity I am in the sauna, the more likely they are willing to succumb to my charms (or money).
  6. Top-shelf for you is not something I would go with. That is what there are so many different body types and ages. To each his own. But, give me a cute twinky boy any day of the week.
  7. That is in your individual settings. You should be able to click to see all the forum and then they should show for you each time.
  8. 1. Yes, it will take time to weed out those not on the site any longer. Yes, it will clear away many profiles. Yes, we will work to add one hell of a strategy to get new members.
  9. It should be fixed. Please try again.
  10. 1. Bookmark http://www.gayguides.com and you will always be set. 2. You just put your cursor in the bottom text box and it quotes nothing,
  11. There should be 53 members that have a log in issues. The cause for this is there is an email on the main site and the forums which are different. We are resolving this issue. However, if you are having issues, email me at gaythailand@gmail.com and I'll help a bit faster. I know this sounds like an easy problem, but it is a bit time consuming to get the issue resolved. Thank you for your patience.
  12. Right you are! But, considering phpbb is a free open source code, I am not sure how much help they would be, but good luck with that. However, there is a difference between a forum software (pre-packaged) and a website build with an original code and blended with a prepackaged forum (Invision in this board). The symbiosis between the two often causes hiccups especially when one is updated. Again, no desire to further this thread on that, but, feel free to google that as well.
  13. We just made massive changes to the way members can be contacted on the website. It puts each boytoy, escort, and masseur in control of how they wish to be connected and there is no log into the site for them to view the messages. This will take some time for escorts to update their Contact Us information. But, after a while, we will start deleting anyone without this information to make it a more valid database to guys to contact. This should help in getting guys more work and make the process much simpler.
  14. Edward Morgan Forster (1879.1.1 ~ 1970.6.7). I grew up reading and loving Maurice and A Room with a view. He was truly amazing. I loved these books.
  15. Sorry it is annoying. I suggest just bookmarking the homepage: gayguides.com and logging into the site and then click the forum button. Will it help to make the forum button more prevalent on the homepage?
  16. If you report a post or let the admin know the specific URL, the answer is yes, that is easy to do. The best way to ensure this is done is to hit report post and then make a request for the tag.
  17. Paborn, I don't. But, I have two tailors in Bangkok that I love. One is Tailor on Ten and bit expensive but great quality. The other is Signature Collection Tailor. I have used both, and gotten great quality from them. If you don't find what you want in Pattaya, venture to Bangkok.
  18. It was not an issue with the forum code as that does not allow for those scripts. It was the main site code. Same solution. Update. Moving to a new hosting company is very easy for you as you have one site with a very small database and you do not care about a relationship with a hosting provider. Most people do care and they do not wish to be sued over back bills. Perhaps not an issue for anyone living full-time in Thailand but it is an issue for anyone who wishes to retain credibility in the USA or standing with a company they have worked with for many years. Plus, we are with the best hosting company around and it is not cheap. I have worked with others over the years and NONE of them have the tech support this one does. Again, not a big deal for a forum only site. But, it is a big deal for a database driven site. Yes, emails are also not sent from this board often. However, as I have said, this board is a small fraction of the site. I could explain a full database driven website and the complications to everyone but I have no desire to do this and it would not further the thread. As I have said, my belief is to upgrade. Always has been and always will be. Yours may be if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I hope that works long term for you. Truly I do. Not a risk I am willing to take. I think the forum is set to stay logged in for 6 or 8 hours per the server. I don't know for sure. But, I think that is what I was told.
  19. Address: 24/14 Soi Sukhumvit 23, Khwaeng Khlong Toei Nuea, Khet Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
  20. I was looking on Soi 11. I went to Hero a while back and wandered down to see what was at Banana and it was a bunch of women.
  21. From my limited understanding, the average log in time standard is 15-30 minutes. Each time this is increased, it opens the site up to issues. Many hosting companies will hold liable any issues that happen if you are not following industry guidelines. For example, the GayThailand site code (not just the forum) had not been updated in years. In September, a hacker exploited a vulnerability in the software that allowed for him to create emails from gaythailand.com This sounds OK right? Well, no, it is not. Each of those emails cost money and the first of October, the bill was increased by 26,000 USD for the added emails alone. That was for the creation of multiple emails (thousands of them via a script). Code is often updated because people become aware of vulnerabilities and take advantage of them. This happened. It was a long multi-month battle. In the end, the switch over a few weeks back was an attempt to fix this code. However, it was not a minor fix and it was a major deal. Thus, you will always find that I update site code and forum code when they become available. This keeps the site safe and secure. As you said, your site never had a major problem. That is great. GT did not either until it did. And, trust me, a big bill and demands of payment caused months of stress. Not worth it IMHO. Thus, when I took over this week, everything was updated. Everything will continue to be updated and industry standards will always be implemented. It is just my belief that it is best practices to protect the site and the members and the owners. I hope this explanation helps a bit. And, unlike other parts of the site which I am always open to change and add and modify, I'm never willing to modify keep the site as safe and secure as possible even if that means a bit of unease to members. Sorry.
  22. Does anyone know if this is still open? I was in the area a few weeks back and didn't see it.
  23. This year's episodes have been amazing. It has been my favorite season to date. And, now renewed for another season.
  24. It is 100% due to security. The hosting company requires a max log in time and it is set for that reason. Part of the reason many sites have issues is due to their unlimited login time.
  25. Go to the top and click the tab called Activity. That should let you see the unread content. When someone is inactive on the board, they have logged out automatically. After a certain time period, they are also logged out. When one logs in from the main site, they are only logging into the site. To go to the forums, they need to click the forum page. (Nice to see you GayButton. Your board is what got me through my first trip to Thailand over 15 years ago. What was the name?)
