Hobbes Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Totally gob smacked...I am...this is most puzzling, since I was exchanging messages only yesterday with Nicky...:shock: :shock: :shock: the last of my messages didn't reach her any more then because I was wondering why she didn't displayed her profile any more. Damn...she sure was one of the nicer and more interesting members here on TF as the previous posters already mentioned. I'm don't think I said anything to her that would make her do something as drastic...I hope not anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beej Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I've been a member for over 3 years and the Mods cause less friction now than ever before, the site has never been so chilled out and easy. It has however become flooded with the usual bad of sex tourists and bar girls, many people don't want to be associated with this. I never really read or commented in Nicky's journals, they bored me a bit, each to their own though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHISKERS Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Nicky was upset with a moderator who banned someone . . . and this mod had been rude in previous journals apparently calling a young lady a "Little Tart" in one post. Obviously moderators do not need to stoop to name calling. I don't know who was banned, but Nickie felt it was personal and not a rules violation. It's very sad because this is part of a trend that has been going on for awhile. It's noticable when someone popular like Nickie leaves. It was noticable to me when Rob left. . . and there have been many in- between. What some call "debate" is often cruel and totally unnecessary. Take a look in the top left hand corner . . . it say ThailandFriends . . . if you want to argue with everyone who doesn't see things your way, you should go to Thailand Assh0les . . . and fight amongst yourselves. And no . . . they don't always come back . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Another member told me about a journal posted by the banned member that allegedly was what got him banned, and if what was described to me was true, it was clearly a rules violation, and one that the site owner has decreed would lead to an automatic lifetime ban. That member was also one of the more "cruel" debaters. Nicky was friends with him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHISKERS Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 People come and people go . . . they all have their own reasons . . . and I'm certainly not going to blame the moderstors. In fact, I've met many moderators, past and present, in person, and I can tell you they are intelligent caring individuals for the most part. There has only been one that I can't seem to get along with . . . but that's him, not me. Looking through my friends list though . . . well I'm disappoint to see so many either close their profiles or delete them altogether. Now some, only close them for a short time and then they come back, but these I am listing have been shut off for some time. Awesome Soti, Asche51, CoCoCool, Kerati, Lady Arwen, supistra, unprettyBB Now those that I am aware of who have deleted in recent months . . . some may surprise you . . . gressy, G-String, Rob, mrnorway, N2N, Seadragon, sweetvipergirl, leeladee,Periboea . . . Like I said . . . I don't know why . . . You will notice that many of the deleted profile list were lifetime members. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you why, some people are here to find a partner, once they do they have no interest in this site, looking at the list you posted they are all not people who I remember contributing a lot of posts on topics nor journals thats not what they were here for. Others are probably just bored or maybe left Thailand (I guess Pedrito did for example) and don't care too much about it because they're having too much fun somewhere else. Just look at what people are online at different times and how many of them you've found posting on a regular basis, there's nothing wrong with not posting but you can't just put Nicky at the end of the list you've listed, she was a different ballgame. Nicky wasn't here to get laid, express loneliness, bitchslap somebody out of frustration or just for fun, she actually was here for interaction and discussing issues etc. in style. She had a more serious (and might I say grown up) approach to this website and I also don't found every post as interesting as the other but that goes for EVERY poster on this site including myself. She was and hopefully will be a nice addition to the online community here again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems very difficult for some people to understand that. This is not about how long I've been here, it is obvious after a short while already. The only reason you know which people in your "friendlist" have or haven't closed their profile is because you fire testimonials & votes at them so you'll be a top 5 friend in the community, it soemtimes seems that's your only reason you're here, if they shut off their profile you'll know before anyone else does. I mean ladyArwen for example, she is a 19yo girl if I'm not mistaken (apart from the fact she got a boyfriend so that's probably why she switced her profile off) how is she in your friendlist? How many times have you actually talked? I know damn well this is a social site as it is a dating site, that is exactly why I told you not to add Nicky to that list because the ways to use this website can be VERY different, it seems very difficult for some people to understand that.

duanja Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I am Periboea's fanclub in shadow. I just can't miss her journal even though I do not have much time online. I catched her last journal which stated that this gonna be her last journal. But I did not suspect at that time that she gonna delete her ID profile. I do not have any personal contact with her. I am sure I am gonna miss her journal. Does she has her blogs elsewhere? Anyone know PM me pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeeMarc Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 But back to Nickie. She is a wonderful person and I do hope she returns. funny I was just thinking that and glad you said it. Feels kind of strange to be bantering on a thread i meant to be for her. I hope she returns too. As i have said from the beginning when I joined this site: for me its all about meeting and engaging with quality, intelligent Thai people, whether in person or in forums. She is a rare breed and someone whom I believe other Thai could look up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
