nope. will tahan till GE then see how. a lot of things going on in the world and my life now
all these things cost money you know. and the longer term direction of where we want this to change/stay
I remember edmw.xyz use AI to respond so some posts so while it's AI it's also interesting to read. Possible to replicate it here or it's illegal (since edmw.xyz was shut)?

it's a whole different platform, plus i nv saw what they did
they existed for like what? less than 6 mths?
still must register, which i didnt. their content got naked pics of dr vijay is it or some top secret pics of celebs or national secrets?
i cant be bothered to register
u see tik tok face book hwz every damn place got force u to register boh
full of shit place imo. i see the moelanyong and many others whom u all say, keep strutting their stuff, haolianing and imposing their own damn set of rules there............ i dont see whats the difference with hwz
my point is, so i have no idea what u are talking abt
they were using xenforo, im not against moving but we need to have a direction and have more traction. everyone comes here do nothing and we didnt push in the right direction
sinking more money doesnt make cow sense. i got no more money or time. it has to make sense and drive traction and pay for its own upkeep minimally
my point is, it has to make sense in the longer run, cannot keep asking me to dump money and effort into something that yields nothing just for pleasure
u dont go and start a push cart business so that u can chit chat with the people in the neighbourhood right
dont get me wrong hor im not aggressive or passive aggressive against u or the other forum(s)
im just saying in the general sense, im not against revamping the site but money and time and effort has to come from somewhere
here everyone yields the same power, as long as we dont go overboard in insulting one another...... i can take criticisms and we can engage in discussions - i wont anyhow do shit to u all like the edmw.xyz or hwz
but it's going nowhere
i know during GE people will come here since the other side will ban many discussions, but i have said many times we are bound by the same set of laws and rules
im seeking a revamp and open to suggestions but we need help in all ways
if, we ever move domains, or platform i need support and i wish this to be a community effort
throwing money here to let everyone talk to GE is the most i can do already. u cannot expect me to throw more money here and build nothing
that's dumber than going to MBS and betting say 2k or 5k or whichever sum on big or small, or throwing into toto, or throwing into china stocks
this one is literally getting 0 returns. i mean absolute 0 returns monetarily, and also 0 appreciation and 0 absolute nothingness
we come here, the few of us <20, engage in senseless banter to entertain ourselves
thats the state now. GE people will swarm in to bitch but then a lot of policing has to be done
after that people will run back to HWZ, if we do not have a "theme"
i said bazillion gazillion times before thats how edmw.sg/edmw.xyz died, even though we have a theme here it's going nowhere for many reasons
we gotta have a direction and theme. like flowerpod, like hwz, like whichever
that said i appreciate people coming here and those who really tried to contribute and make this place interesting
like jim, NER, luckyapple, u, arctic and a few others
but u see i nearly recited all the names of the frequent-ers
nabeh not even 20. Off hand its closer to 10.
This is literally what people joked abt hwz having only 3 people
i think u go sell ban mian at the far flung side of tuas west also more patrons maybe like the gay bangala who tries to flirt with u on his day off
We lack members and traffic lah, less so on direction and theme
If have more members, naturally will have more topics and sub-forums instead of just senseless banter in main common lounge
I can start a thread on watch
NER can start a thread on cars
Shiori can start a thread on coin and stamp collecting and so on
But there is nobody to partake in the discussions unlike edmw
Their senseless banter threads have traffic due to members not cos the thread is so interesting
Need some advice will the stench of hypocrisy from the usual suspects and useful idiots continue in 2026 lololololololl 😂

This. Forums need money to operate. Without capital, they can't sustain long-term. All "edmw rebel forums" eventually close down because of money.
if close liao, then where will default blog ?

aiya chiu can youtube / ticktok la. can earn $$$
:flash:
I also think that this forum needs more members than a theme, at least for now.
But how to attract them?
People won't bo dai bo ji go google moneymind.sg.
I did try to PM some in hwz too.

Out of extreme curiosity, how much does it cost? Cos if one day one of us wanna start a rebel forum at least we know how much it costs and whether it's worth it.
u only need domain name and webhosting
domain name tens of dollars, depends if u want to use .com.sg / .sg
webhosting tens of dollars per mth to hundreds per mth
software can be free like this one or phpbb or whatever free one. or some that costs few hundred annually or forever
so a few hundred dollars if u are technical enough and/or dont want anything else and just use ur efforts
hope it lasts
