Board Rules

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Udon Thani's Original Free Speech Forum, we don't like to Moderate, we would rather members Moderated themselves.
These are a set of rules, follow them or don't, up to you, we do appreciate rules get broken by all but don't be offended if you are edited or posts deleted, we would rather not, but Udon Social does have a line, its invisible, but its there, and you know with-in yourself where the line or boundary is placed.
NO flash banner adverts, in fact NO homepage adverts at all, as there is NO homepage, who really wants annoying adverts anyway.
We do have hand picked sponsors, its costs nothing to have your own business topic/thread on here, just ask.
Enjoy our Free Speech Forum which has taken over from Udon Talk Established 2009, yes that’s right 2009, some said it wouldn’t last but it's still here in a different guise rolling along 9 years down the line, some hate us some love us, but EVERYONE reads us, they wouldn't admit it, but they do, hard to resist a peek in
