I still like most of the frontpage articles... Pedro, Gavinmac and a few others can really bring an idea/experience to life.. Meds first (I think) piece for the frontpage was also a very good read..
I first stumbled across this forum in 2007, while searching for something or other before my first trip over, Been coming back to it pretty regularly ever since.
I think the passing of Henning changed the forum more than most appreciate, and probably posters like horse and such also left a mark when they move on or stop contributing.. after all its the content that shapes the container when it comes to forum such as this (the style of moderation also comes into play..).. I still feel that one can attain good advice and answers here and its getting better all the time in this regard.
I have always felt that a section should be available for more grittier and less family friendly content (ie. The felger Friday thread) and a more flexible moderation approach applied to this section of the forum.. after all, the CPN this ain't...
As for posters.. glad to see bonez is back on form.. the post regarding speaking Spanish at a police stop was classic bonez.. hilarious. I also ( and seem to be alone on this.. ) miss posters like koastal and taxiboy..
Many posters here contribute something unique and interesting.. many are just wankers, some just crave attention.. some are all of the above.. some just leach.. (probably a bit like me.. I am an expat.. just not in regards to Cambodia.. none the less, I empathise and relate to many of the trials and tribulations of living in a corrupt foreign country with a greedy and seedy powerbase..)
All in all.. good job KiR and mods.. the forum is a good one..
As an afterthought.. tomorow is my birthday.. if I put $50 behind the bar to start us off... who's up for a little get together?
