I see Joe has trundled off now, to randomly mention me on other threads.
He tends to do that when he's pissed and has been caught telling porkies.
Simpo-Dill swallowed it hook, line and stinker.
What's your contingency plan anyway, posting yer poop pics on American websites, or do you get arrested for that kinda shi.... stuff?
One minute.
It's a corker.
Lord knows why he did it.
He only received a red repo.
Or possibly two.
So is there a plan folks? Or will we wake up with TD pending the RIP thread
I do not have the expertise and may expire before my passport
I guess there is a cost to hosting, but could be finance by a banner as at present.
Mods I am sure there will be no shortage
Many places have a so called mirror site in case one is offline
Could creating a mirror be the way forward, then if the existing excitement of this Xzyte-site ends our community can survive?
A very similar name be helpful so appears in google near this in Alexa rankings, I'm sure our regulars can throw in a few bucks for the rental.
e.g.
Teakdoors
TEAKDOOR2
TEAKDOOR REVALVED
DEEKTOUR ETC
Does anyone have the time energy, I assume our patient Mods can continue or new ones be invited
It would be great to have the search function back
perhaps we should let our metaverse selves die with dignity, or indignity which is more TD
I don't know the tech behind mirroring, I'm not sure it would add any value and I think you might need to be the TD keyholder to set it up anyway.
Many people use their phones for Internet access now and TD needs some work here, IMHO. I cannot easily post pictures in the correct orientation, when I read posts one third of most pictures is off-screen, the buttons are too small for my fingers and, as we know, it is running slowly again. This last problem was fixed briefly, it must be fixable again.
Would be a shame to see the forum go, it's a nice way to stay in the loop for us away from Thailand and plenty of good advice and threads for those in Thailand.
Met a few posters for beers from the forum and it's always been a pleasant experience. I'd be happy to have a couple of Leos with most posters. For the most part, it's a friendly place to post and socialize online. A sanity saver during lockdowns for sure.
Apparently, there seems to be a founded understanding [amongst the wiser set] that this fine, unique and long standing venue will be finding it's destined end.
The struggles are obvious and have been discussed within these halls......the interim and sub-managers have yet to secure the keys/codes to the mainframe.
Either they're not capable of such tasks or have no desire to seek a permanent hold.
The telltale signs are there with each passing month.
Bit of a shame, actually.
Once the alternative darling of forums of this nature is a dismal shell of itself......revival might be moot.
I can understand why Topper may never ever wish to be responsible again but his advice or Simon or others who claim such PC Wizadry as Harry could explain the mechanics
I assume anyone can register a site
Buy a web board
Invite all to sign up
I realize we may lose all those classic threads
I'm sure if St Willy Dr Willy Mao Minty Lulu Edmond could combine their repo to cut and paste
We have our resident spellchecker
If each member pitched in a few hundred baht (say $20) surely that's enough to host a site for year outside LOS where LM etc could be an issue
In the old torrent sites there were often mirrors with same name but different country ending like KAT ?
I will donate in addition to cut and paste some our famous threads if that is technically possible such as
Unforgettable
Seeking Sausages
Dug and the phone scam
DD's epic rants
Ant v Smeg
Teakdoors dating section
Pat before he did a runner
FLASHBACK: My marriage to a Thai girl
The Trial of Shehiredahitman - Verdict
Alway sa hoot if passing the time in taxi
^I also liked the "scamming a scammer" type thread by Cujo. Reminds me of those Nigerian prince scams of the 2000s.
Which reminds me, I still have unclaimed shares in a gold mine somewhere in Africa...
