Death Of Ajarn Forum

hiso101 · August 15, 2004

I just checked out the ajarn forum web site half of it is missing and all the members are banging on about getting hacked. Apparently some schismatic web brawl broke out amongst the members and they are not talking anymore. Very handbags at dawn, can’t say I am sad half the people on that site are pretentious non entities anyway.

It is now a "teachers only" site so if you are not one of them you are not welcome from what I could gather.

Haven't been there since it imploded last night- it was hacked so that all members were restricted and the mods room was visible to everyone. Think that there are more than a few hard feelings as a result.

I couldn't bear to read the site let alone post there...

Pretentious non entities isn't far off the mark, it was plagued with comments that between the lines basically read -

"So how long have you not been a backpacker for then?" and -"I've got a degree AAAND a TEFL, what have you got?"

Blah blah, blah blah blah blah wankspaggle...

It was like being in the student union bar only at primary school.

wankspaggle...

That's a new word for me.... but strangly I know what it means... quite descriptive really

Funnily enough I made it up today whilst on a bus and I had a fit of the giggles much to the bafflement of other passengers.

Good innit.

"strangly", as in "strangling the python" ?

I think just about any forum I've ever read comes across like that if it's not 'yours'.

mowlem · August 16, 2004

Sad thing though, as many of us here have at some time taught English, and it is THE site for jobs. Remember you can't decide who'll join a forum, bit like you can't decide who'll come into your favourite bar.

Of course there are no 'Pretentious non entities' posting on this board

Well...

There weren't.

Harry Palmer · August 16, 2004

Not being terribly clever I have wondered why Ajarn gets hacked so often & this place seems to escape from such traumas? I assume the security is more advanced here.

SeaVisionBurma · August 16, 2004

...Very handbags at dawn...

Great expression - *SVB takes a mental note to remember that one*

and wankspaggle!

You have got to be kidding, haven't you?

mowlem · August 17, 2004

Looks like they are all coming here then.

Right I'll start..

I'VE GOT A PROPER TEACHING DEGREE, NO WANGSPANGLE TEFL CERT FOR ME...

How long before the hacking starts then??

Harry Palmer · August 17, 2004

After only a couple of days, the new forum has achieved the following:

"Our users have posted a total of 1153 articles

We have 232 registered users"

Not too bad for a bunch of pretentious nit-wits

kenkannif · August 17, 2004

Can't we all just get along?

Are you not/were you not an active poster on Ajarn? The UN is very familiar.

As for the TGS, to you they may not be much, but at least they don't need to resort to passing around the begging bowl on Ajarn; something not unheard of here on TV - as you would know from personal experience On which point, I wasn't surprised to read that you had plenty of time on your hands, to consider such earth shattering things, as you made your way around using public transport...

Good idea. I just created a sub-forum for discussions regarding "Teaching in Thailand" and related issues:

kenkannif · August 17, 2004

Am I due any kind of remuneration?

Wicked! More places to post, you go George!

Why the fok would someone who is not a teacher, or interested in teaching visit a board called Ajarn,com?

Why the fok would someone not living/visiting in Thailand, or planning to visit Thaivisa?

BKK_banger · August 17, 2004

The most used Forum is called "The Virtual Pub" and the current topic is "Hangover".

Nuff said.

Ajarn caters for more than just teachers you know.... Lots of valuable visa advice, a great social calendar, a center of excellence for hackers etc.

TV... has a great jokes forum & a solid technical section.

RamdomChances · August 17, 2004

I read ajan sometimes and have even posted there, twice I think, its Ok.

I find it a bit to BKK and teacher centered for me, but then again it is aimed at teachers and most of them work in BKK, and I'm not a teacher and dont.

Each to their own I say.

Begging bowl?

BEGGING BOWL????!!!

I explained my situation, posted what I was capable of and asked what I could do with it to live and work in Thailand.

I had a very helpful response and a couple of private financial offers of help I turned down because I do have some self respect, that and the fact it was anything but a 'begging' post - more of a way of asking for help to help myself make my own money.

How come you didn't flame me on there? Outnumbered by posters who liked me?

Sorry if I'm a bit sensitive about this but if you've read the Dashing Chap's post on fun/farangfood/expat life today then maybe you'll understand why.

The way things are going it's this forum that'll be falling apart next.

of course those pretentious TV members (you know who you are) don't ever get drunk, maybe cos you are too busy taking advantage of young thai girls who through no fault of their own find themselves a little short of cash & have to sell themselves to fat stinking ex-pats... shame on the lot of yer...

would anyone like me to post my poll here?
