Cambodia Expats Online: Forum | News | Information | Blog

A thread in the Cambodia Speakeasy section of The Forum That Shall Not Be Named says that forum will shut down permanently at the end of the month.

I hope those tossers and keyboard warriors don't end up migrating over here.

Now now, we are a haphazard community where many of us have contrasting viewpoints/opinions, so all are welcome. (Ok, "most" are welcome, maybe not "all.")

Congrats to everyone here who has ever contributed on CEO, as this community isn't going anywhere, thanks to you all, and a special thanks to those who help (and who have helped in the past) with crucial things behind the scenes, like the news and moderating, as it's a team effort to keep an online community up and running for years and years.

its been a long time coming>
lets see who amongst the haters of this forum, show up here or will they fade away
my $.05 worth..... none

Surely you're also on the verge of collapse due to "the emergence of FB groups and the dwindling expat community that will never get back to it's pre-covid levels."

And that comment makes you what?

Orange Dragon has finally gotten his comeuppance.

Sometimes it could be 3 or 4 days before a new topic was posted on 440. At least on CEO there are daily postings.

That's a quote from TOF (co- admin?) as to a key factor for shutting it down.

Whilst it's true some of the long time member expats have left, I've also noticed recently a lot more newbie members enquiring about moving to Cambodia post covid restrictions. So potentially 'new' expats for the community. Never say never as they say.. FB groups seem to me mainly akin to what we have under 'Ask the expats (Questions and answers)' and don't readily facilitate robust discussions as per the forums.

So hardly 'on the verge of collapse' for CEO. Perhaps there are other reasons for TOF's demise..

The other channel was/is somewhat encumbered with guests. CEO at least has to make them legitimately sign up to become a sock. There are a few members over there that are a true likeness of their CEO counterpart. How many real individual members are there?
Maybe we should expect an influx of memberships along the lines of GuestABCD.

Maybe a special K1/K2 level could be set up to accommodate them? Get their grammar and toilet habits tidied up?
