Ad on KF

I have decided I am ready to sell KF.

I am not in a desperate hurry, but would like to get it done in the next few weeks.

Reasonable offers considered.

Cheers
sr

The problem with forums is that so many things can be misinterpreted.  You can’t really see or hear how someone is saying something.  I’ve met several forum members face to face and more often than not, they are nothing like how they portray themselves on a forum.  I mean that in a positive way.

You bring up a good case and point, JF.  How long can a forum go on?  Your idea of wiping the slate clean does hold merit.

Be interesting to see if he is able to sell it, the domain name really hasn't got any value, it's not particulary desirable(korat.com is a desirable domain name), so it comes down to how much the content and members are worth.

korat.com is a desirable domain name

Last I saw was the owner asking $5,000 for it. But with new Top Level Domains (TLDs) like .co coming on the scene that is definitely overpriced. I was too stingy to invest the $24 for registering korat.co, so somebody else is speculating on that now. Word compounds like koratthis or koratthat (a url of two highly rated keywords) might suit your purpose more. Easier to get high on SERPs with that. Age of domain (first seen on the web) is an important factor. Number of incoming links from reputable sites also. None of those applies to koratfarang.com

^^Seeing so many people, right now again Paul Ceglia, trying to get billions of dollars as a cut from facebook, arguing they had somehow masterminded the business, I myself should maybe ask for a cut of the satang koratfarang.com might bring SR, clearly having masterminded it in a discussion about a Korat Expats Club on TV:

- in my post on 2006-03-09 14:13:20

- in my post on 2006-03-15 21:40:31

and more.

SportRider even posted for initial advertising of his board that it had been setup upon that suggestion. But of course the post containing the link was removed by TV mods soon after that. Maybe it still is in the database, just not accessible anymore. 14 of his 18 posts on TV have been removed. But there might be also some evidence still in the first posts of KF.

So how many billions could I expect? Whaddaya think? And most important, which lawyer should I take to sue him, if he isn't willing to give me a cut, or is selling it officially at a low price to avoid giving me an appropriate cut? All to be thought over before making a decision to hope for a billion - or something at all.^^

Oops, I should be quiet about my estimates of its value then.

I would be interested why you make fun of koratfarang.com board.?

If you want to go through life deadly serious all the time, you'll be left to crying only.

What's wrong with looking at the funny side of things? 

The board has brought many people together.

And always look at both sides of the story:

It's true that Koratfarang brought some people together as friends. It's also true that it separated many friends and let them become enemies.  

the Admin here wish to belittle a successful forum, for the Korat area.

Is it really successful, if its admin now wants to sell it after it has been on the web for five years, with many people having invested work for free  in order to develop it as a really good and informative site? And have gotten a kick in the butt for that! I wish him success in finding a buyer! You sound interested!

Who the hell do you think you are coming here under an anonymous nick posting this rubbish?  No one is making fun of koratfarang.  People are entitled to their opinions and if you can’t accept that, you can threaten people again with another lawsuit.  Share of the cake?  What cake?  Are you deranged or something?  You talk about having fun, yet I’d be willing to wager you’ve participated in the mud slinging fest at me and several other people on the forums.  Mung Song Na Hia.

Another thing.  How is it that you know if KF has made money or not?  Are you friends with the current owner?   You mention that SR has managed to keep the majority of the posters.  That’s all cool, but let me let you in on a secret.  QUANTITY DOES NOT EQUATE TO QUALITY.  Are we on the same frequency here?   


One last thing.  Who are these "Certain persons" that you claim to have been brought down by certain forums? 

JF
Theres having fun and theres having fun, your forum over time has done nothing but try to bring certain persons involved in Korat down.
I see you mention both sides of the story, so SR opened his forum, which made you feel let down because it was your idea is this correct?, i could understand if it was a commercial site, though he made no money from the forum so I'm unsure what you feel aggrieved about.

KF seems to be the main forum in Korat, and does not seem to get involved much in all the bitching about certain persons.

I would say yes its successful for the Korat community, there are numerous boards in korat and KF has and still is frequented by many, other boards opened and you all thought you would get a share of the cake, SR has kept the majority of posters, year in year out.

If i was interested in buying the board, there would only be one forum in Korat.

Please remember theres having fun and theres, little boys with mindless behaviour.

Boy, you have stolen the name of a community forum to use as your user name here. Are you the same person in Korat that has been stealing other people's user names in order to promote your own business, stolen email addresses in order to send spam, stolen passwords and generally poked your nose into other people's private affairs? You really have no morals or respect for the law. All that you do is stab fellow foreigners in the back. You deserve all that you get.

KF seems to be the main forum in Korat, and does not seem to get involved much in all the bitching about certain persons.

Nobody is trying to push it from the pedestal you pretend to see it on! Just its admin is trying to get rid of it and get some satang for all the years of trouble instead of just being left to an uncontrollable battlefield forever.

I would say yes its successful for the Korat community, there are numerous boards in korat and KF has and still is frequented by many, other boards opened and you all thought you would get a share of the cake, SR has kept the majority of posters, year in year out.

And that is exactly its problem: it has got as many posters as readers or even more posters than readers. It's only a chatroom running on forum software. How often does somebody look up the protocol of a chat he didn't participate in himself? About never!

By the way didn't you start that topic as well

http://www.koratfart.com/korat-web-news/what-makes-a-public-forum-popular/

Why ask the same question over and over again? To get the same result again? "Old habits are hard to break!" That is IMO exactly why SR wants to sell it: After so many years he still has to waste a lot of time trying to get it back under control.

If i was interested in buying the board, there would only be one forum in Korat.

Thanks for your interest in buying this board here, but it's not for sale.

If i was interested in buying the board, there would only be one forum in Korat.

Boy, you got ambitions! And how would you realise such a monopoly? Remember KF having been the one forum for a few months after it opened. But why did other people open more forums? To get "a share of the cake" or to supply  alternatives to a free market?

Thank You for all your responses, its what i expected from the  Witch hunt crew.

Kurt my daughters kindergarten has a opening for a story teller would you like to apply, you could tell them about your exploits with the CIA, FBI, your family connections with the Triads in chaing mai Blah blah blah.

Saf seems your own forum is no longer used for witch hunt purposes, you prefer to come to Korarfart these days.

Johnnie dear old Johnnie threw all his toys out of his pram because the big bad admin on KF, would'nt play with you.

Dirtydog if it is DD from Teakdoor, always made me wonder a very successful owner of a forum why would he vist here so often LOL

Gentlemen (if i dare call you) you are all once again way of the Mark, in your conclusions on who i am, i wonder which other member of the community you will turn to next, come on Johnnie let them all know the IP is not one you have come across before.

Johnie you forgot chaing mai come come you must do better.LOL

Playgrounds hmm thats of interest you mention playgrounds, am i not in the Korat playground presently.

Do you not think its better, to tell them its not there Fav vodoo doll LOL

Ain't it weird that this guy Fffffffffffffffffffranky  offers himself under the nick koratfarang.com for sale. But maybe the little one is interested in having fun with him for a buck?

The guess is correct, he admitted it in a post I removed. No reason to deal with a troll so extensively.

JF, I wouldn't be surprised if Maimeetang is FB...Now that I think about it. The references to the FBI and so on are a dead give away.  He is abnormal and has no life whatsoever. Perhaps, he's forged an alliance with the boy. One thing I do know.  He is no longer welcomed in Korat.  Why is he so obsessed with the people here?  Is he a queer, a fag, or just some freak show with too much time on his hands?....or all of the above.  I hope you know a good dentist, FB.
