Do all K440 Members read ToF as well?
Amount of time spent on one forum or the other is relevant 0000, and something I hadn't thought much about. I too might spend more time reading CEO, but if true, not by much.
If I'm going to bother looking at a forum at all, I'll open both. That is all I wanted to express in starting this thread. For me it isn't any kind of competition. I open both, read a bit, not particularly even paying attention to which site I'm reading, then posting a bit here, as I can't be fooked to pass the membership requirements of either, then turning both off. Their are both good and silly people on each, so I more or less fit in fine.

K440 has a long way to go to overcome the legacy of keepinitriel or scobienz and their methods and crowd.

I doubt that it would even be allowed. The “TOF” acronym was invented by CEO members because they’re not allowed to mention Khmer440. Instead they refer to it as “the other forum”.Guest wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 6:31 pmWhat is the obsession with TOF and why do ppl hate them so much?

CEO owners consider it a lonesome island in the ocean of the internet. Sources for news are edited out and posters who mention CNE are censored and banned.
It’s because they’re insecure. They’re scared that links on their website will drive traffic away from their copy paste news.

I don't think you're misanthropic, anti-social or a loner, but you could do with considering alternative viewsscobienz wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 4:23 pmGiven I’m quite rightly derided for being a misanthropic anti-social loner, the idea I have a ‘crowd’ is horrifying.

as something other than 'nutjobs'' spouting whatever-you-think-they-are-spouting.
There is something terribly wrong with our world and the sooner folk realise this the better.
Moreover, it doesn't have to be this way and we do have the power to do something about it.
I think that you are right to feel 'unclean' about the, in the words of 'The Human League', 'Sound of the Crowd'. Having said that, voices of all kind need to be heard. Then we can accept or reject those that we choose to disagree with.
But at least let them be heard and consider what they are saying before bashing it out of shape..

Over 1300 times in fact.Phuket2006 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 8:35 amfunny how those here are so concerned about what goes on over there, yet over there, (even with one fucked up mod ) there is no concern about what goes on here,
why does it need be ceo vs k440?

What gets to me is seeing 2 guys being the best of friends and drinking buddies then getting on a keyboard and calling each other assholes along with everyone else on both forums , simply because they dont recognise the other persons user name. I know it has happened to me several times but that person would never have the guts to say the same things face to face.
The moto is to treat EVERYONE with respect or Kama will intervene .
RIP KIR

My take - a number of the readers of K440 came on board back in the day when it was raw, non-PC, talk about anything and in general easy to laugh with others when they hung it on you. Cambodia was different back then, one only has to mention Sophies for example! To me, the best posters are still from that time.
When the rot set in with KIR, Cambodia had changed dramatically in a very short period of time, and new expats arrived that were, dare I say, of a different generation - more snowflake than intrepid traveler. The slightest hint of a rebuff or a bit of shit hung on them, and they would become upset and offended. KIR then went all funny and became a bit like them by having massive hissy fits. By and large - that is the mentality that many of those over at CEO seem to have. There have been comments here about how much K440 seems to have an issue with them (which LL has clearly debunked). The majority of their main posters are disgruntled former posters here who are snowpetals.
To answer the OP, I open their site up to look at the contents and usually close it down without reading anything, with the rare occasion of looking at what I think might be an interesting thread - I find that is quite seldom. I just find it boring as batshit. I still enjoy K440, not like yesteryear, some of the great posters have passed away, while some were driven away, which is a shame.
Just my 2 riels worth.......

I've done that to people whose user names I do know in real life. For example I had an argument with GavinMac recently on here, but we had a drink together last weekend and all is well in real life.Cam.O'Dear wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 6:24 amWhat gets to me is seeing 2 guys being the best of friends and drinking buddies then getting on a keyboard and calling each other assholes along with everyone else on both forums , simply because they dont recognise the other persons user name.

I heard you knocked him out after he wouldn't stop going on about people not living here not being allowed to have valid opinions.
Then you stripped him down to his kecks, stuck him in a tuktuk and sent him out to Boeung Tumpun.
That's what people are saying.

I visit most days and scan the active topic thread titles. I rarely click on anything to read. Went through a spat of reading/posting on about four threads a couple of weeks ago. No longer being in Cambodia, and unlikely to return anytime soon, most topics don’t apply to, or interest, me.
