Guest wowpow Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 When I go to the website I get: When I click on the "Why am I seeing this website" I get and e-mail to someone with "Inquiring about the domain sawatdee-gay-thailand.com, with status: Expired" in the subject box. I hope Spike paid the bill. Also hoping that it's just a blip. Quote
Guest Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I communicated with Spike today and the site should be back to normal tomorrow. Domain Registrations are due annually. It is not uncommon for people to forget to pay until the site is down. It happens pretty often actually. The page that is currently there is a page that is used by the Registrar to make money until the domain is renewed. There are many pages like this and if you ever see sites like the one currently up it is often that the owner of the name has not utilized the site. Registrars figured out they could make money on the unused or non renewed sites. So, this is what they get. When you click on any of those links, the registrar is making money. Just an FYI. The site is still owned by Elephantspike and once renewed, it will go back to normal. Quote

Guest Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 The owner of Sawatdee tried to log in to this site and post but was not able to get logged in correctly. If others are having issues, please email us at: gaythailand@gmail.com He said that the issue with the domain registration is taken care of but that the server now has an issue. His hosting company is restoring it from backups and as soon as that is completed, it will be back live again. Please be patient as some times these things take a while but it will be back soon.

Guest laurence Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 If ever you have a problem woth sawatdee new forum. With all due respect Earwig, do the right thing and, in deference for the deceased, change your avatar of that poor dead boy. After all he was not your bf. Perhaps he should be memorialized in some other way but not as your alteridem Quote

He was liked by every one who ever met him, God rest his sole and yours laurence. Quote

Some posts I read take me by surprize, some just simply make my mouth drop. This one did both. As my grandmother always said, "opinions are like assholes, everyone has them." Quote
Guest wowpow Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I commend ear wig for his diplomatic restraint in face of an incredibly vicious attack both mis-informed and cruel in the extreme. Bravo Quote
Guest ear wig Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Oh I forgot this is the new me, calm and nice and careing.... In one way he is right, no one owns any one, he was really a good friend, who happens to be a boy, "A Boy Friend" Just passing ships in the night..... Thank god he stopped some times. Quote
Guest laurence Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 My apologizes to Earwig and all others that I offended. In retrospect my post was in poor taste. I was properly chastised by other forum members. And I acknowledge Earwigs restraint in responding. As far as the cat in the gutter, I am not associated with the poster named Cat. Quote

That helps keep things civil around here. I didn't think you were associated with the poster named Cat. My grandmother would always say, look what the cat dragged in. Literally. No other reference was intended to another poster. Quote
Guest wowpow Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Don't you just love a happy ending! I was grateful to GayThailand for taking the trouble to find out what the problems were at Sawatdee Gay Thailand and letting us know. How extraordinary that nobody there took the trouble to do so - again. Quote
