It's no big mystery. Look at the 1st(fair comment) and 3rd(Obnoxious) postings in the "Magnificent ?? Obsession". That killed off the goose that laid the golden egg. Even though the goose had some quirks, he kept the board alive and now, quite justified in my opinion, has decided not to post anymore and thereby removed the main stimulus for discussion.
While Keith and Cupidman did their best to defuse the situation, the regular moderator...

Assuming your complaining about me? My only contribution to that thread was saying that I was cruising less than I did in the past. Do you have a problem with that?

I'm 100% sure there's government meddling the past few days. Many other websites got screwed up. Some displayed Thai police logo. Others had a message from the Ministry of Culture saying the site you are accessing is forbidden.

How did you guys get thru, assuming you're behind the Thai firewall?

I got confirmation from our friends at Sawatdee that indeed, the authorities have taken some steps lately to block some websites. Based on the experiences I read from one guy, he was able to get around it by simply reloading the page after getting the initial message that a page was being blocked. Generally, the blockage attempts by authorities are rarely sophisticated and can usually be gotten around.

Stay tuned!

I have never had any problem accessing the site.

I think that one picture of the park in cruising places thread did it (thei picture with the revered leader that shalt not be defiled if you know what I mean). Is there a way the web site can remove that picture?

No, access is not blocked on my server in Thailand

I think the posts sent by the gentleman targeted in "Magnificent Obsession " only kept the site artificially busy.Perhaps his multiple id's inflated traffic also.If you were a first timer and visited the massage places he favoured you would have wasted your time.That said obscure places where nothing happens may be somebody's idea of good cruising.One member asked once why do you go to these places if nothing goes on ?

Immaturely he has taken his ball home and wont play instead of conceding that those who differed had a point of debate.

Multiple identities? I haven't noticed any . . . on his part. Can't say the same about certain other posters.

Immature? By comparison, he strikes me as mature, in both senses of the word.

He has no obligation to feed his detractors.

I miss Mr Sextile's posting. What about putting all the bitching behind and asking him to contribute again. I am sure it helped quite a few of us to have some happy endings somwhere along the lines.
The specific information might have also helped the tourists that are familiar with the lay of the land in Bangkok.
Waiting to read more!
