think_too_mut Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Those were the days before Facebook, Google. Forums had a big role. I remember, late Lao Huli, had 930 posts in one month. pattaya127 had 650. At that time, Fidel Castro had 11 more years to rule Cuba. Somebody had posted, from the Admin of Delphi board explanation that the board (Delphi) was a good idea but pop ups and ads were a bad idea. Can't remember now if that was the reason for their demise and if nanaplaza.com took off to replace that board. Today, if this board (bar the links in the US tread) if it can get 100 posts a month altogether, that is where the board is. Those were the days when we thought a wider audience would come. They did, but to other, easier to use and more attractive media that did not exist during the nanaplaza.com best days. And now (for some time already) everything available to anyone, anywhere. Too much information, too much choice, the public has no other way than to go by "likes" and ratings. Thai has been photographed from all angles, 100s of millions of pictures. A single board like this one, with back legs in the Internet infancy 20 years ago, stands a very small chance. Good that someone is maintaining it, if the time comes, tell us when the lights go off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 The delphi board was shut down when Delphi tried to charge for using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I thought Delphi banned us? I ran a competition on the Nanaplaza board for a few turns for best photo Plenty of boards came after Nanaplaza Nothing wrong with a board for mongers either, if you wanted something else go there was always my thinking. Some good people I met, too many passed away shows my age 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi, >I thought Delphi banned us? Don't fully recall. I remember they started charging for access to the Delphi boards and used ours as one of the ones to test people's reactions. Our reaction was to quit Delphi and setup our own board. This board is still here, no clue what happened to Delphi boards, but my guess they are no longer around. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigger Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Responding to a long-dormant thread. The name change was made because the ad system we used to generate a little revenue objected to the politically incorrect Nanaplaza activities, and some threat that the govt might block us. At this point nanaplaza.com is still dormant; I'm open to suggestions how it might get used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Were I still in the region, and my plans are, to be in Laos, once this Covid thing has settled down, I would contribute to a night life NanaPlaza.com board, featuring the politically incorrect activities, as we used to do. Senior section/all legs working/ My feeling is that, there'd be few followers, because they're all in the discordant world of inyafaceyoutwit etc... Mind you I'm observing young'ns, extolling the virtues of "no social media" these days (Gymnasts, Writers, Artists, but not marketing folk), dunno if that'll last though. Jigger and KS, once again thanks, for keeping this board going, it's one the last bastions of sanity, well, nearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Why are there 1,080 icons for 1,000 users, why are they only 9 icons etched repeated 30 times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
