5th Anniversary of my blog

5th Anniversary of my blog

Today marks the 5th anniversary of my blog. Combined with Wikipedia, I have 14 million visitors per day.

Since I started my blog, that website http://www.imbecile.me/ in the description went offline, instead go to http://theoatmeal.com/ or https://www.boredpanda.com/ or https://worldnewsdailyreport.com/saudi-man-sentenced-to-1000-lashes-for-performing-oral-sex-on-a-camel/ and other articles there.

I have been writing about my experiences in Thailand since my first holiday trip. Those reports are scattered around, here a list.

1^st trip to Thailand Aug 2009

Reading the now defunct gayboythailand blog triggered my first trip to Thailand. And there I posted my experiences. The blog has long been offline, and on archive.org the last years are missing. The last capture is this: https://web.archive.org/web/20060715143418/http://gayboythailand.com 

But fortunately, I have a backup of the entire website, from which I pulled this screenshot:

2^nd trip to Thailand Jan 2010

Gayboythailand closed shortly after my first trip. Then I found ricequeendiary and posted my experiences there: A Reader’s Comments February 1st, 2010. Ricequeendiary has been offline for years, but archive has a copy:

3^rd trip to Thailand Jun - Jul 2010

At that time I had discovered the gay forums and started posting there. http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/5711-trip-report-24062010-07072010-bangkok-pattaya/

The story was picked up by shamelessmack for a post, but that seems to be lost forever since he went offline. 

Update 21apr2019: Not gone, can be found on archive:

8th trip to Thailand Nov - Dec 2012

(I don't remember what or where I posted.)

9th trip to Thailand Jan 2013 - now
I got a job in Thailand Feb 2013 - Jan 2014, and since then I have been spending most of the year here. And on 18sep2013 started this blog, so I have all my publications in one place, under my control.

In those five years, I became the most prolific gay Thailand blogger, simply because everyone else dropped out: http://khunbaobao.blogspot.com/ took a break in 2014, shamelessmack disappeared, bangkokbois died, and http://llz.blogspot.com/, the longest-running (since 2004), posts less than once per month.

It has been a lot of work, but I met several interesting people over my blog. Nonetheless, posting every third day will remain a thing of the past. About one post per week is realistic for the future.
