Sammyboy's kopitiam forum has moved
In case you didn't know by now, Sammyboy's Alfresco Coffee Shop's at Delphi's has closed. It is now at Sammyboy.com (or singsupplies.com) and powered by vBulletin.
Gosh, it's about time. Delphi's forums sucked terribly, had too many ads and interstitials, and poor search. It ran on FRAMES, for goodness's sake.
This new Sammyboy's Alfresco Coffee Shop seems to be aiming for a kinder and gentler feel, while retaining its reputation for freewheeling, and often witty and insightful, discussions of politics and life in Singapore. There is an infraction system in place. If you don't enjoy flame wars, you may enjoy the discourse here more. Also, it is a forum not owned by any local mainstream media (conspiracy theorists will disagree with this, haha!), if that matters to you.
Er, don't go the wrong forum hor. Sam Leong also runs a NSFW Asian Values Forum which discusses the commercial sex scene (you do know that Singapore is a country that bans porn but legalises prostitution, right?).

Press Release
Singapore Kopitiam, established in 2006, is a virtual kopitiam where Singaporeans and ex-Singaporeans congregate to exchange ideas, express opinions, share common concerns, debate national policies and social issues, spread gossips/rumors/scandals, and talk about anything and everything under the sun. In addition to the Coffee Shop Talk, specialized sub-sections are provided: Politics, Beijing Olympics/Sports, Gambling/Hobbies, Woman's World/Fashion, Tech & Science, Religions, Stock & Finance, Emigration/Immigration/Travel, Crimes & Suicides, Jobs/NS/Study/School Life, Buy & Sell, Movies/TV/Celebrities/Gossips, etc.S
Since the sudden closure of "Sammyboy.com's Alfresco Coffee Shop" (SBF) hosted at Delphiforums by its host Leongsam on 6 August 2008, Singapore Kopitiam has taken over the full roles of SBF by providing full functionalities and more. Former forummers of SBF can use their former accounts to access Singapore Kopitiam without any restrictions and delays. The Singapore Kopitiam's URL is:
http://forums.delphiforums.com/sunkopitiam/messages/
It is expected that Singapore Kopitiam will continue to provide an important avenue to shape public opinions. Professional journalists will find it a convenient place to tap the pulses and feelings of Singaporeans and ex-Singaporeans when they can express their opinions and feelings freely without fear or favour.

Forgets about going all these clone forums of the original Sammyboy one. Unless you wants to go delphi forum filled with psycho and flamerthrower.
Professional journalists can visit those new clone forums for some professional fly swating. The new clones are as dead as the MP P65 blog. Don't bother.
You can express your opinions and feelings freely without fears or favours at the new Sammyboy too. Plus got better software.
You notice Sam don't need to come here to advertise his new site but the clones do. People know a good things when they see one.
