Why has TEFLWatch closed down?

[Topper]

I thought I would create a poll to get your feedback on why the admin of TW has shut down his site.

My guess...pathetic plea for attention.

Dirty Dog / LDMA threatened to sue the service provider. (?)

Samak's first casualty in his war against the news media.

Why is TEFLWatch closed?

Cos God told him to?

[Little Chuchok]

who fcuking cares?

[dirtydog]

Well if someone did hack it it just goes to show that Greg protecting his users is a fallacy, the hacker would have all their details now, although I got to go for the "Pathetic Plea for Attention - i.e. Forum Suicide" choice.

Yeah but what details do forums actually hold, just IP and e-mail addresses ain't it??

[Smeg]

Because it has become pretty obvious that he is looking to make money out of the site. How can he claim to be on the side of people who use the site and yet the same time be making money out of them?

Well summed up. But in this case I don't really think it was about money for Greg, but for the attention the site gave him personally. People have stopped giving him the attention he craves so he's closed down.

My flight is already booked.

The whole site has become a tool of manipulation and egotistical exhibitionism. I'm glad the forums are shut, and I hope the whole site goes away too. The so-called "information" on the site is biased, unfounded and often malicious. The admin of TW is a proper Carey Hunt!!!

[obsidian]

hey wang -- whats up with tw???

[Topper]

I doubt Wangsuda would know...from my experience Greg usually doesn't confide in his mods about his actions. Its a shame though all Wangsudas hard work is for nought.

[hillbilly]

They aint' closed down. This is Wed evening at 1829.

^sadly it seems that Sam is incapable of reading the rules of his own forum, let alone following them, Check out his post previous to the one you reference above!
