This is only a guess, but funny how the Gazette
forum disappeared after a few members questioned
why posts on Gangas had been removed and
the webmaster got a bit upset!

I would suggest its been closed down for a while to
make us all suffer....and its not the first time this
has happened either!

I think you are spot on Keith. Companies that take full page ads have a lot of clout!

Well its not the website down, just the forum. Checked earlier and
still down. How petty... :roll:

I also wondered where everyone had gone, although to be honest
not missing some of the posters on there! :lol:

Never understood the attraction of that place - obviously something happens to ex pats brains and they have a huge desire to pig out on out of date pub snacks and the sort of foods they would never ever consider eating in the UK!!


Anyway think people are reading too much into it -maybe moderator just got bored.....or has gone on his hols or just can't be ar*ed any more!

I presume you did not see the thread in question on that forum, or the
way posts where removed without any advise or comment.
As I have said before this is not the first time the Gazette forum
has gone off line after the webmaster was questioned on his
actions. Make of it what you will.... :roll:

Dunno - maybe I saw it and didn't think anything of it - whenever that gangas place is mentioned I do tend to glaze over and wonder what on earth the attraction is!!!


Well at the end of the day its the gazettes football and if they don't want to play then its their rules!

Or alternatively - could be genuine maintenance!

I'm with you on the whole Gangas thing: I could never see the attraction of eating UK/Irish food in Lanzarote in general - nevermind say the 3rd-rate, brand-name sausages some ex-pats develop a graving for when they land in Lanzarote.

Not so sure about this though - if it's still being worked on after nearly a week, then I think they may want to change their software engineers.

Considering it is only the forum that is down it looks like the webbie has thrown his toys out of the pram.

I am with Keith on this one it seems they have took umbrage about people slagging 'G' off.

From my reading of the forum the most serious sin was that some people dared to question the pricing policy of G..... on their new
online shop.
