Another forum is currently unavailable

They get banned because of trolling or different opinions? I'm not sure here and my guess new owner have a different point of view, maybe he or she even is a liberal, lol

 

how about, for instance, a troll who creastes a website based on derogaotory lies about numerous forum members, and causes irreparable damage to reputations of good people. shuld he be allowed back in?

 

Honestly, I didn't know about that, many idiots on the internet, hope people have common sense and can see through what is happening. I try the same in Thailand, meet an idiot after he talks bull sh*t about me on a homepage, I don't reply and as always with that kind of people, they reveal themselves and all can see how big idiots they are

 

I thought the owner is known (and is publicly available), at least I thought so... but maybe some people did not get the memo. I do not want to publish names (as it should have come through the owners "memo"), but his profile is monsoon or now is member#1... so with this information, you should be able to get in touch with him. The facebook pages are still under the old owner (living in Cambodia), so not much use to go through there..

 

That forum is up and running. Has been all along. He has just blocked all the trouble makers so when they try to reach the site it looks like it is down.































Nah, just kidding. Its down.

 

there is absolutely no reason to post this kind of conjecture. the site is undergoing updates and that's that. the owner's profile certainly is not "monsoon" and he is not part of the staff. just because someone posts crap on a website doesn't mean it's true. the site also does not have any more problems with trolls or attacks than any other forum. just like this Dumaguete forum...LINC is made up of people living in, visiting or having family or friends from the Philippines.

 

in defense of the new owner and administration at LINC, the decision was made to start semi-fresh by allowing anyone to participate and then sort things out for themselves as they see fit. this did not have any harmful effect on the forum whatsoever and in actuality there was very very few annoyances by past trolls.

many software updates were made over the past few months which required a similar shut downs just like this one happening now.

i am also not any sort of spokesman for LINC and am just a long time member and supporter. everything i'm posting here was basic information that anyone could have read in the many threads posted on LINC since january.

 

well, it had the effedct of running me off for one, but maybe that was not harmful!

 

There was a similar case with a different forum I visited in the past. Several months down. When it was finally going live again, most forum users did not returned at all.
