Dying? All forums are declining IME, but I have no idea why. Kind of boring and pointless to a greater or lesser degree though.
Frederick Douglass: Find out just what any people will quietly submit to
and you have found out the exact measure of injustice
and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these
will continue till they are resisted with either
words or blows, or with both.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn;
“Don’t believe them, don’t fear them, don’t ask
anything of them.”
technical and/or specialized forums seem to be thriving and increasing in membership (espresso making, urban gardening, certain kinds of technoweenie subjects)
'entertainment-oriented' forums are in sharp decline.
the linked article (i think Cluezo linked it) is not all that persuasive. blog comment discussions are going strong, but not all that appealing as a medium. blog comments seem to be similar to where most forums are at--the same 20 people grinding away at their axes...
Imodium can't stop me.
What happened to he who delivers milk?
4 more years!
He got creamed.
Has a thread on TD bemoaning having reached his expiry date.
Take me down to the paranormal city where the girls are green and they have three titties...
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Oh, he soured long ago.
True, but let's not milk the gag.
That would be udderly pointless.
Cluezo you can always count on me. Granted, that's not saying much.

yes blog and news comment posting is where it all seems to be going, far as vapid banter and ax grinding go. it's a shame really because web forums are more intimate and less rulebound. but i guess we have fecesbook for that. twitter is nonsense though, i've given it a number of perusals, i totally don't get it.
same same with whatever demonic plans google is executing. after being parked at gmail since it's inception i'm feeling more and more bothered by the 'social' aspects of whatever the fuck project they have started up recently. i've not checked it out, i'm not interested, but apparently there is a profile out there of me and various acquaintances are inviting me into their 'circles'. wot bollocks.
I disagree that they're dying, there's just a lot more now, splitting the vote.
In the case of this place, many regulars have been on here quite a while and have other responsibilities now: girlfriends, wives, (sometimes both), children, pies, motorbikes, rugs, tripedal cats and various secret lives to attend to.
my tripedal cat ran off from her new owner in ha noi.
well, dragged her arse off. she could arsedrag well fast. once she attacked the neighbours staffs terrier eh, right in the fucking face. he was bothering her, she went at him like lightning. now all i have are internet comment pages.
i thought this place died ages ago and we were just feeding off it's rotting carcass?
If anything this place is rising like the Hindenburg . . .

The success of a project is often directly related to the amount of work one is willing to put into it.
Louis has a family and a full-time job so I guess that he manages an hour or two here and there to spend on the forum. So in that respect all you can hope for is something that 'muddles along'. I'm not knocking Louis. That's just the way it is.
If someone were to say "right, I'm going to devote my life - or at least 30-40 hours a week - to building up the ajarn forum" then I've no doubt it could be done. And the right person would probably achieve spectacular results.
You do need to have talent to go with it of course. One great example of this is Ian, the guy who started ajarn.com. He gives it all up to go and live on Koh Chang. Then he makes contacts, takes photos, composes daily updates, writes funny articles - works like a trojan. And in a few short years, he's now got the definitive Koh Chang website. He just blew everyone else out of the water. And he makes bloody good money out of it too.
Good websites are a lot of effort. They can be extremely time-consuming.
The worst job in Thailand must be the man who has to sit down with a blue marker pen and mark a number two on the two-baht coins to stop people thinking they are one-baht coins.
