Life is often funny in how it throws curve balls at you.  I have not owned or ran this site in many years. However, I have remained friends with the owners the entire time. The site has switched owners a few times over the years and I have always tried to stay active in the forum and help moderate the site when I could.

Recently, the owner approached me and said that his time with the site was over and he was ready to move on.  He was not sure what he was going to do with the site and asked for ideas. I did not want the content here to die so I told him I would take the content and incorporate it into a new site.  This allows him to sell the domain name gaythailand.com (soon on Sedo.com). In the meantime, the domain name will point to this site and all content will remain on this site indefinitely.  

I got out of the business years back so some changes must be made on this site.  All xxx photos are being removed. Also, many profiles, photos, videos, etc. are outdated and old. We will try to get people to log back into the site and update profiles but anyone who doesn't do this in 90 days will be deleted.  We ask that people who have not logged into the site for 2 years will be removed as well. This keeps people on the site who are actually interested in participating and frees up the screen names of those uninterested or no desire to participate.

This move was made because I love this site and each of you has worked hard over the years to create wonderful content that helps people when they visit Thailand.  I hope the next phase of this site iteration is a smooth transition. And, I can assure you that the site content will never be lost to the world as I place great pride in being the guardian of the site.

I will have a few moderators to help out as I can't do this alone. More detail on that in the coming weeks. I can tell you that I have a different requirement for moderators. They are more hands-off until they are needed. Think Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse.  I do not want a free for all and I do not want an iron fist. I want something in the middle. I also do not want BS posts from fake accounts.  Once banned, always banned. That said, I'll review the banned members and may give a second chance to some with a close eye.

Anyway, thank you for listening.  Looking forward to suggestions on the site as it comes into full swing.  I have only had a few weeks to pull off an updated code, so please be a bit patient if you see some glitches or issues. There may be issues with the forum or the front end or logging in. But, rest assured, we will try to solve any issues. You can also email me at gaythailand@gmail.com if you are unable to log into the site and have tried the forgot password function (I just tested it and it worked for me).

Regards,

Michael

Good luck Michael and thank you for taking on what must be a considerable workload.

Personally I enjoy reading this forum because of the civility and knowledge of the members, there is a lack of snide comments on here which I really can't stand and which appear on other forums.

I woulde love to have a section dedicated only to trips report away from main forum. Often time it's quite a task to find them buried in the main forum, especially for places or bar that have very common or short names. I see that this new sites have tags already which is also a great way to find things.

Will watch with great interest how this new iteration develops - and I wish you and it every success.

Michael, I would like to thank you for saving and maintaining this site! I didn't contribute much so far, but I always felt very comfortable being here. Oh, and the software upgrade is really great!

Good wishes...

 

Good luck, and Happy New Year!

Good luck with the new site.

You are very brave - to make such big turn is hard job. Wish you good luck and let me know if you will need any help.

 

PS pity what signatures weren't exported

I hope it all works out for you.

Thank you best wishes.

Great new layout. Wish you lots of luck and more posters in future.

I logged in with my long established username and was presented with a screen to enter my username.   It then informed me that the name is taken.

I sent you an email. You have 2 emails in the system. One for the front end and one for the forums. They are conflicted (sick like the flu).  A shot is needed. By that, I mean we need to combine them.  Please see my email and advise. Thanks for your patience.

.Thank you for all your efforts!  May you have continued success in this endeavor.

warm welcome to Michael and a hats off to Scooby, Moses, and even back to Surfie!

Good luck with the new forum, Michael!

I appreciate the time and effort. On to the next, and away we go!

I generally don't like changes, and this is one of the changes I don't like. But I'm here and will continue.

We are all for big change tonight. Tomorrow morning each of us will be 1 year older 

 

Happy and sexy New Year 2019 for everybody !!!

I find the banner at the top showing live models can be a bit embarrassing when all of a sudden a naked derrière in a suggestive pose appears to anyone near you glancing at your screen.

I love the new format.

Uploading photo& video is much faster and easier.
