Death Of Ajarn Forum

REPOST OF RETRACTION POSTED ELSEWHERE ON THIS FORUM

TGS:

I apologise if I have said something to upset you. However, I do feel that if you make a remark like this:

QUOTE 

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. 

you do leave yourself open to a little retaliation. However, I realize what I wrote may have been unfair and retract it. Also, I think you'll find, when you check your PMs, that I was one of those who (almost immediately) PM'd you. I in no means mean to flame/upset you, but as one of those pretentious non entities I feel I have to say something...

Fair enough mate, look - as far as light hearted or even critical flaming goes, I can give as good as I get, but yes what I read about me today was bang out of order flaming and although you weren't the main culprit I was already pretty upset when I read your post.

I'm alright now and thanks for the retraction.

the new board has just been hacked to bits again... there is a serial killer out there somewhere who just hates Ajarn...

Ajarn.com forum is dead - Bangkok Phil:

Ajarn discussion board - end of an era

The ajarn discussion board forum was hacked into again on Saturday night (14th August) for what seemed like the umpteenth time. After lots of support from the previous board members, we moved to a totally new board with completely new software. And tonight (Tues 17th) we were hacked again and the board was totally destroyed.

Enough really is enough this time. I have no intention of starting the forum up again and Marko (who supported us with the technical duties) feels exactly the same way. It's time to move on to other projects and spend our free time a bit more wisely.

I want to say a massive thank you to the hundreds of members who have supported the ajarn forum over the last few turbulent years. It's been a real roller-coaster ride for sure, but a lot of people showed a lot of spirit.

The ajarn.com forum was always special to me as I know it was to a lot of people. The saddest thing about all this is that we now have to start getting all our information from barstool experts - and none of us want that. It will be like putting the clock back to the more uncertain times before the internet came along. I wish the members the very best of luck for the future.

I don't know why some of you are so anti - ajarnforum. Its different to this forum and its a bloody shame its been ruined by some dropkick moron. Best wishes to Phil.

[Harry Palmer]

i echo the sentiments of downtown. i am confident that Ajarn will be back in the game in some form or other, in the not too distant future.

[Ijustwannateach]

^I concur with those above who aren't wanking. It *is* a shame that some antisocial twit has a hardon for Phil and his forum- no doubt someone with nothing better to occupy his time (for example, friends).

Not too familiar with this forum, though I'm sure it'll have the usual cast of characters. Maybe we can make something out of this teachers' section.

Hi, IJWT, I guess we'll have to meet on this board now. The death of the Ajarn board is very sad for me. It had a lot of useful stuff on it (as well as some dross) and some good and helpful people contributing. Perhaps we'll never know exactly who hacked it to death.

[Sumitr Man]

Paully / IJWT, et. al:

See you in the Common Room! Or else, you know where to find me if I can be of any assistance in the future...

What a nightmare, it's like there's been a death in the family!

And I had loads of really good ideas for loads of really wicked threads! Darn it!

[dogeater]

I say we commandeer this board!

[splitlid]

good luck with that!

[spliff]

This is a test

[spliff]

Hmmm...are pics allowed in sigs?

[Sporting Dog]

I was a member at ajarn for a little while - only saw it get hacked 3 times!! - and I'm pretty disappointed that it has come to an end.

I have a thai gf and am in the process of moving to Thailand...and I found it very useful (as is this site).

Sure there was a lot of crap but everyday I wade thru piles of crap without having the choice of just turning it off. But it was also informative, funny and interesting.

I just hope that the saying "what goes around, comes around" is true and the hacker/s have a long and interesting life.

Thanks to all those who (used to ) make it happen - it REALLY helped.

[Marmite the Dog]

Well I guess we'll all have to ensconce ourselves in this little part of the TV forum.

[Ijustwannateach]

Hey, Paully, Sumitr, Marmite! Good to see you guys. Well, we can make a cozy little corner here, and maybe not have to worry so much about getting hacked down again.

"Steven"

[paully]

Hi, Sumitr, thanks for the kind offer.

Please, no one tell Smeg about this board! He's the last one we want on here

[Marmite the Dog]

[NoAjarn]

if he does it right it will only be a few minutes as theres only a couple of days of posts on there, and it should all be on the server..

[The Gentleman Scamp]

Ajarn.com was not my scene and although I slagged it off sometimes I didn't hate it and I do think it's a shame that some bastard has ruined it for others.

I hope the ex members who have just arrived here and are unpacking their cases will feel at home and again my condolencies.

Welcome to TV.

[kenkannif]

Thanks chap!

When I first heard this site referred to as TV, I thought it was some like tranny site (sorry!)

[Ijustwannateach]

Thanks for the welcome, Mr. Scamp- careful, though, we breed like rabbits.

[NoAjarn]

[Ijustwannateach]

Nice to see you again, too, DD!
