November 11, 20187 yr To whom it may concern. SGT and Siamroads are down - server's failure at Sunday (weekend). Technicians are working for to restore. It may take up to 24 hours because of weekend.
November 11, 20187 yr Thanks for the update. I tried already few times today to see it was live again. Now I know the cause.
November 12, 20187 yr I managed to get on this morning before going out. I noticed many off the posts in various threads were missing. I tried a few minutes ago and it's down again.
November 12, 20187 yr Looks like someone has reloaded from an old back up - lets just hope that they HAD made their more recent back ups as they should have and that it's just a matter of they've selected the wrong file to go from otherwise it looks like posts will be forced back to 10th November perhaps and anything past that lost maybe - fingers crossed. I'm sure Moses will be having words with those responsible, either for the breakdown or lack of swift action to repair and or replacement of correct last back up as for any server company to tell you "sorry it's the weekend we'll have a look at that but it might be Monday before we get anywhere with it - and then install the wrong / an old backup " maybe wouldn't be a company you'd instantly be thinking of hosting your site on. But maybe there's a simple explanation and all will be repaired and updated back to normal again shortly - lets hope so anyway - as I dont know WHAT we'll all do if even just some of the many pearls of ( alleged) wit and wisdom that are shared there between some of us are lost FOREVER never to be recovered !! Ohhh the very thought if that - God FORBID!!! lol
November 12, 20187 yr I assume you are being sarcastic NIrish and/or have never hosted a web site but given web site hosting ranges from $10 on a shared server with minimal backup and out-of-hours support to $10,000+ on multiple redundant servers with guaranteed uptime of 99.9% with zero loss of data and 24/7 support, how much do you think it would be reasonable for Moses to dedicate to SGT in terms of financial, hardware and human resources to satisfy SGT site users' demands for acceptable downtime and loss of post data? bkkguy

November 12, 20187 yr SGT remains a very interesting site for those who are open minded and not dogmatic and constricted. The casual acceptance or dismissal of various points of view makes the forum alive and quite often enjoyable with the participants. Certainly as with other fora, one comes across people with overbearing opinions over simple matters. Oh well, not everyone is a vegan.
November 12, 20187 yr Yes, indeed. It's become a game of sarcastic verbal ping-pong no matter how many words you use to mask it.

Ohhh the very thought if that - God FORBID!!! lol Good try. But I will not buy it dear. SGT lost data only of last 10-12 hours before failure: we do daily backup on another server in another location. Technicians still tune new server, but sites are working normally already. In case somebody has troubles to log-in, please clear cache in browser.
November 12, 20187 yr Moses said - "Good try. But I will not buy it dear.' Hmmm? There was no attempt at "trying" anything, dont be getting all defensive again there Moses. I (wrongly it seems) assumed that you farmed out your server hosting and back up etc to another company to do and so assumed that it was their systems that had fallen over and also assumed that they'd simply reloaded from the wrong back up ( as I said in my post). As apparently that's not the case and it is just you yourself hosting on your own server there then fair enough, these things happen I guess and if you've only lost 12 hours of posts then it's not the end of the world. My point about maybe losing random pearls of wisdom "forever" by posters was of course totally tongue in cheek as I doubt the world revolves on anything posted on any of the boards ( no matter how much some posters might like to think otherwise about the importance of their and our collective posts !)
November 13, 20187 yr Ever since SGT was restored on Thailand servers, I bookmarked this URL to gain access - http://sawatdee-gay-thailand.com/forum/ It always worked until a couple of days ago. Now I receive an on screen message - service unavailable. The new URL seems to be https://sawatdeenetwork,com/v4/activity.php
November 13, 20187 yr Yes, indeed. It's become a game of sarcastic verbal ping-pong no matter how many words you use to mask it. That’s the way it is.
November 16, 20187 yr Author yeah, there are some tuning works going on the server, SGT will be online soon

Sawatdee Network also has a feedback forum for members to provide feedback or air their grievances. The newish moderator, Jellybean, is also quite helpful.

I find that a little unbelievable, there is a little of name calling and disrespect to each other etc on that forum.
