What Was Your FIRST POST on CEO/Khmer440.com Expat Forums?
I thought it might be interesting to look back at our first posts on the Cambodia expat forums, whether they were silly questions like where to buy Q-tips, or to tell everyone where the "best pizza in Phnom Penh" is, or to get online to vent your frustrations about living in a 3rd world country.
Feel free to post yours or anyone else's FIRST POST on the forums you find funny or interesting.
Ok, myself, when CEO was first launching and we only had about 5 smilies or something:

Up until August last year, I was a member of another Cambodian forum. Sadly, my account was deleted because I had a different opinion to that of the forum's owner. I had never been warned, or sin-binned at any time prior to this, and received no notification of my banning. There were quite a few who fell that weekend. Nice to see some of them on here.
Unlike OrangeDragon, cambod, General-Z and others who all received life-time bans, not only was I banned but all my posts were deleted as well. Man, I must have really pissed him off!
Congratulations guys! The site looks great.
Good luck

All my 1000+ comments on K440, going back to 2006 or so, were deleted by KiR over a year ago. Ain't been back there since.

My first posts 'over there' devolved quickly into a flame war when I posted to a thread on academic qualifications versus employment prospects. I listed mine and quite genuinely asked what sort of employment opportunities/expectations to expect.
The next page of responses told me everything I need to know about the depth and types of wankery in that forum. A classic old guard, our turf response.

I was in the middle of what seemed like a serious fuck-up because a whole load of detectives had piled into my house and ripped the place to shreds. I posted asking if Siem Reap was a good place to live, because I'd been offered a job there, and had been there before. Thank fuck I was given good advice and told that the place sucked.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Ha! I also can't find my first post as "Cambod" on K440 because KiR deleted my account and Scobie still won't re-activate it.Soi Dog wrote:All my 1000+ comments on K440, going back to 2006 or so, were deleted by KiR over a year ago. Ain't been back there since.
Funnily enough, I think I was arguing with Violet about TEFL certificates, LoL.

If I remembered it correctly, my first post was something about Khmer idiom, in which I shouldn't have posted, so that people might not be able to find out that I am Cambodian.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

It was a bit of a nightmare. An old friend of mine had gotten involved in some nasty business in Manali, and I let him stay in my apartment. I had traveled around Africa with him the year before, and he was a pain in the ass to be with, so I wasn't all that surprised about what happened later.This was the mess he had gotten involved with:

It had nothing to do with me, I was thousands of KM away, but when 10 or so central division detectives kicked through my door and tore my house to bits I was a bit freaked. They didn't even know anything about the dead chick in India, they just knew that my friend had been trying to shift some dodgy substances locally. My flatmate was well pissed off with me. It doesn't matter anymore because they are all dead now. RIP.
