You may speak for yourself but my nick certainly isn't real and the forum isn't being paid for with real money either the finances are a by product of ejaculation.

Good move! I already made a similar suggestion to Leongsam some years ago. You can have your "scroobal's intelligentsia" and the rest of us have "froggy's cafe" while the Courtyard is frozen for the coming mini-ice age. It's causing depression for Leongsam anyway. We will see none of those disgusting duck liver posts by Debonerman and jw5 with the super irritating & vomit-inducing photo. The world is certainly getting better especially with the coming Korean reunification.


The frog is no more, frog is certainly dead for good.

This forum was a small but vibrant community of true blue sinkies yet it was never possible for everyone to get along or even just co exist.

Little wonder the foreigners took over so easily. :rolleyes:

The forum was always a microcosm of Singapore. Now both are fucked. To those who were hellbent on driving traffic away I hope you're happy now.

I feel that one of the reasons for this forum's demise was the several GE results which showed that despite all the chatter here and revelations and what not, the majority of sinkies are PAP lovers.

This has dealt too many blows to the ones who are serious folk. They gave up. What you are left with is attention seeking fellows with huge egos. My way or the highway. Some are plain mentally ill.

If you are anti-PAP and are still living in Singapore, too bad for you. You are surrounded by PAP lovers hellbent on keeping the PAP in power.

"Those"? It is just a handful of indulgent individuals trying to share their fascination with a former police scholar and women in uniform. Surely casual readers with nothing better to do would love to hear about that. What's wrong with letting kids have their fun in the courtyard? :confused:

Web 1.0 was newsgroups and IRC.

Web 1.1 was Delphi.

Web 1.2 heralded the arrival of vbulletin which dominated from 2001 till 2009.

We are now at Web 2.5 or possibly 3.x

Social media has taken over, anonymity has been overtaken by the desire to be famous (until your naughty photos get leaked and then suddenly instagram, facebook accounts are shut albeit far too late.)

Even a potted plant needs the occasional weeding and pruning. You are just blaming the housekeeping tasks and leaving this place to die.

It was never about housekeeping. If I didn't do housekeeping this place would be littered with spam, porn links and what have you.

The problem is one of vendettas and constant feuding amongst the very people who I thought would be supportive.

A mountain cannot contain two tigers.

There cannot be two very strong personality people leading.

Just like in a mountain, there will only be one king, one leader. If there are 2 tigers (2 kings), you can be sure, they will fight it out. Either that or one of the tiger leaves that mountain.

There can be another outcome. It is where one of the tiger pretends to be ‘not-a-tiger’ for a while. This leads to the second part of another Chinese Idioms “Pretend to be a Pig, to eat the Tiger”.

:biggrin:

This is one of the few places where I though egos could be left at the door. We're all pretty much anon. The forum thrived because in the good old days it was the one place where people could speak their minds without having to worry about the consequences.

The really strong personalities should have nothing to prove and be able to let things go easily.

You cannot eat your cake and then still have it. I guess for your own sanity and sanity of many neutral members (who are observing what is your next course of action), you have to come to a decision. It's all about tradeoffs and opportunity cost. :biggrin:

Yes, sell it to jw5 so we can all call it a day.

I understand that moderating is a thankless task. But it is just impossible to moderate any forum effectively via automated scripts. You need sensible human judgement for that

It's obvious this forum is dying but I don't agree it is inevitable due to new media. Anonymity is one of the most valuable commodities today and this is one of the last places to still have it
