Ya, that's me!

You aren't the only one. Several days of timeouts, Nightly Backup error messages, slow bandwidth issues, or can't log in. Hasn't stopped me from #puckinapilipina.

And to make a liar out of myself. That was posted a few hours ago. The thing seems to be back up / running normally.

Guys, how long has Air Asia been operating on domestic routes in the Philippines? Sure they are no frills but lots of dirt cheap fares.

I've just been looking at options for a provincial tour and $50 tickets MNL-Mindanao-Mnl abound. That's return. Mostly Air Asia with some Cebu Pacific. Same for DVO to elsewhere direct ie no wasting time in MNL or CEB.

I flew Air Asia Mnl-Ceb round trip. Nice flight. They employ only good looking air hostesses. For one hour flight nothing to report. Their food sucks. It came with the ticket I purchased which included 20 kg. Checked in bag. Bundle.

Even cebu pacific has come back big time. Domestic flights are cheap and flights were full of locals.

Am I the only one struggling to access the ISG Forums, PMs and Search pages? I'm getting repeated Nightly Backup error messages and unbelievably slow download speeds. I'm assuming the Admins know but not sure.

I'm not moderated. Would a newbie Regular Member or nawty moderated Senior quote and comment on my message so an Admin sees it. 👍.

Be good to know if this is a one off or ongoing problem.

Thanks. G.

Same here, totally down since several days.

Haha do I detect a heartbeat?

This forum looks almost dead.

Air Asia Philippines has been there for years in a partnership with local investors. Used to be Zest.

Grab a flight, it's as good as the others.

Move more to the centre of the bell curve and it's not hard to see why girls are turning their noses up at 1000 p Short Times. SNIP

I noticed in both cases the guy gets punted the when he becomes inconvenient.

Concur. The author of the article appears mid-30's, slender, and nothing terribly special. Bland by standards here. Yet given where she is (RWML), she's apparently a catch. It just took a while for her to realize it. Rich white fellas fawn over her: "I would love to support you in your travel to France".

This is little different than less-wealthy gringos who fawn over their asian girl here, send them possibly more money than they should (causing them to skimp on other expenses) and more money than the girl is worth here (have known gents sending p50 k+ monthly in remit, who has never traveled outside his country). They consider the girl his GF (regardless the fact that she might have several such idiots on the hook).

The same way the RWM took the bland girl away from her po' American BF's, the less-rich gringo took a looker here out of the poon-selling market (usually, not always; sometimes when they have an emergency they will sell it on the cheap). Some of the fellas here don't like that some other guy is giving her more to stay home than she'd be making selling it.

Not many guys can afford Business Class flights and Chanel hand bags for an aspiring entrepreneur. However, thousands can, and do, spend hundreds on a phone or jewellery for a provincial farmer's daughter.

I've found Delete & Escape works best with exwives. Cheers. G.

So *that* is what is meant by Ctrl-Alt-Delete if you need a re-set.

I've been waiting 30 minutes or several hours later. I thought maybe it was my VPN, so I switched VPN cities and still got the error. Then I turned it off and continue to get the error. Got to be a glitch.

Also my browser normally times out after about 45 seconds of trying to hit a website. Hitting the 'Preview' button on a typed post gets a fast response, but hitting the 'Upload Report' button is taking 3-4-5 minutes to post. Normally that would time out, but there is no timeout currently on the ISG when hitting 'Upload Report'. Strange.

============================

Edit: To make a liar out of me. Edited to tell you that just now when I hit 'Upload Report', it uploaded and displayed the report immediately. Its behaving like my ex-wife.

It's not your VPN. I've had the same issues across laptops, phones etc with and without a VPN.

The refresh page icon does nothing but the GoBack does still work.

Sure it's a PiTA but not something I'm going to stress over.

Get them all the time. Definitely not only 05:30 UTC. Copy work as you go as it can be a PITA if you have just typed out a long Post or Message and the Submit is rejected. Hardly end of the world issues though.

I'm guessing some type of server glitch as they don't last long.

Just wait 5 minutes and try again.
