The real operatives behind Project2025 put the orangeman there to distract everyone, while they dig around behind closed doors...

Changing the USA thread? This thread has been going on for many years, and keeps getting longer (now more than 2000 pages). It's persistency and continued engagement suggests to me that it should be it's own forum or sub-forum, instead of a thread. Anyone got a better idea?

The database that underlies the board crashed yet again today. The management is all lined up bowing down in abject apology. For the technically inclined: In order to forestall these events in the future, I added 8GB to the swap file for the underlying instance at AWS. With luck this problem won't happen again.

Yes, we dropped Nanaplaza.com because Khun Sanuk, who lived in Thailand, felt threatened by the Internet crackdown that was going on at the time. I don't think that is much of a risk these days, but I did put it up for sale in hopes of "monetizing" some of my various Internet projects.

Alice! Who the fuck is Alice! You used to hear this (Aussie?) song at least once every night somewhere and the whole crowd would sing the chorus! Hadn't thought of that song for 20 years....

Yeah, I rarely "ignore" or "block" people- but someone asked and I thought people should have the option, rather than asking me to ban people.

The information in KS's post "Dummy's Guide to Thai360" is now obsolete since the software has changed over the years. In particular, in "How to ignore people", he says click on their profile pic. This no longer works, you have to hover over the profile pic, and a menu pops up that allows you to put that poster in the Ignore category.

We now have 2044 pages of posts on this thread. I'm tempted to suggest we at least start a new thread, if not separate it into a couple of separate threads. Maybe all the discussion of OrangeMan's idiocy can be in it's own discussion?

Thanks. I unpinned the post that referred to it.

This used to be a meetup spot, but I don't see many mentions since years ago? Anyone been there lately?

I believe KS's original setup was on Delphi Forums. At one point, we had an archive of old posts from there, but it seems to be lost

I'm the only mod at the moment, and I didn't delete anything. How long has that post been up? There is an auto-deletion than can occur after, maybe, ten years?

No, this was a place on it's own plot, kinda spread out with a bar and a big open-air dance area. Line of taxis out front. My TG of the moment took me there on our motorbike.

The deep reaches of the web yielded up the following text, from a column in the Bangkok Post called Nightowl from 1996. Before the Internet, I had an airmail subscription to the Post, just so I could read Trink's columns. October 5, 1996
