Dear fellow Nattawat.org members,

It is unfortunate for me to inform that Nattawat.org will be closed permanently by the end of January 2012. We had a lot of fun running the site, seeing the forum grows, getting to know our members, but all good things must come to an end.

We have been in operation for over 5 years since 29 November 2006. We now have over 90k members, 5 million posts and database size of over 50GB. All of that, we operate in non-profit and only continue to do it because I love doing it. However, in the past year, I had been very busy with my life and hadn't been able to put much time into the site I had created. We had been flooded by countless spammers and auto-posters, and while it is easy to manage and block their spam at first, it became tiresome over time as they will not stop. These spams hindered our server speed, and slowly they hurt our "quality" brand that we built for years.

In the most recent year of 2011, I have received a total donation of $227 out of $4320 expense. All the extra expenses are paid by myself alone. While it was fine at first, many years of paying like this has accumulated to a large sum of money, and at this point, I cannot afford paying like this anymore.

If you would still like to support us, you can always make a donation to us or tell us about your memories you had with Nattawat.org. It won't change the fact that we will still be closing at the end of this month, but we do appreciate every support and good cause towards us.

You will have some time left to backup your posts, trade contacts with other people through private messages, finish your unfinished businesses, or to take one last look at Nattawat.org Warez Form before it is closed. After that, everything will be gone.

Thank you everyone for creating the best community forum we have ever witnessed. I will miss us all. Farewell, and goodbye.

-Nattawat

Strange... on the site it doesnt mention anywhere about the closure.... ? Maybe a spam mail? hmmm... Although it came through on my member email, could have been hacked?
 
Not sure if that is the case ShareShiz... but I do agree autoposters are ruining sites nowadays... whatever happened to sharing for the fun of it? Its all about making a few pennies and cents today! Sad sad sad... if that really is the case, but like nattawat said... he has too many on his site and he finds it hard to clean up all the shit that they left. Thats why my new site... when its finished will be member invite only.... if i can get someone to do that for me. Besides, I will only have music and music apps... so I wont have so much to clean if the autoposters and spammers get through! Mebbe we should take a Poll... "Are autoposters ruining todays warez sites or not?"

Good work Admin
 
I dont think anyone can BLAME Jayfella.... his app is extremely useful... except when it gets into the hands of greedy cash whores who then ruin the whole scene with false posting and flooding.
 
Nothing to shout at Jayfella and Freddy. It's the people who use these apps (although I am not convinced multi posters are bad).

Cut and Paste will do the job (not as fast, but with a little practice you can post a good number of posts manually in a short time)
 
i think the spammers nattawat means are not those posting uploads, did any of you even look on the forum? its full of SPAM messages advertising theyr products/services, not those sending uploads using autoposters.
