Sumitr Man Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 the new board has just been hacked to bits again... there is a serial killer out there somewhere who just hates Ajarn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 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. --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtown Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijustwannateach Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 ^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.

paully Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 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.

Sporting Dog Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 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.

Ijustwannateach Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hey, Paully, Sumitr, Marmite! Good to see you guys.

The Gentleman Scamp Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
