A vile and negative forum full of animosity towards expats

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

A vile and negative forum full of animosity towards expats

Post by Kung-fu Hillbilly »

Another satisfied ex-member it seems.
The khmer440 forum has been around for some time in Cambodia, [Khmer440 link removed.] it is in my opinion an embarrassment to Cambodia, its negative stories on Cambodia offer a highly pessimistic view of Cambodia and can only be a depressing window to the Kingdom.

Its stories and forum posts attack individuals in the same way the tabloids did and still do in the UK, its posters and admins are just like the worst journalists there can possibly can be.

The forum posts both individuals passport details and photos to the embarrassment of many visitors and expats, it insinuates people are guilty of crimes and tries to bring down the unwary person that may cross its way.

The above photo shows the old khmer440 haunt on Street 110, the Garage Bar.

If you are a popular expat then khmer440 will not post your photos on the website, this happened when one long term expat Tony Jones died (RIP) in Sihanoukville in 2012, khmer440 did not place photos of the tragic accident on their forum, but if you are a mere unknown person then the photos would be on their forum for the world to see. Nepotism is the name of the game on khmer440.

In 2015 a once Cambodian expat Sebastiano Magnanini died (RIP) and his name then appeared on khmer440, Sebastiano then had his name pushed through the mud on the forum for his family to see, his mournful family even commented that the internet had now destroyed their sons name.

Photos of homeless foreigners, drunk or unfortunate individuals will have their photos placed on khmer440 for derision. How many people have lost their jobs and livelihood from khmer440?

Photo above is Peter Hogan, 49, died of apparent “blood in the brain” and was the khmer440 founder, needless to say the khmer440 forum paid tribute to him as if he was a God whilst much of the internet including Thai forums mentioned his less than admiral character.

One particular article posted on the website [Khmer440 link removed.]
Pokes fun at individuals and even mocks an English teacher that lost his job because of khmer440 posting his photos and embarrassing episode from drink.

Khmer440 acts as police, judge and executioner; if you are brought onto the forum then expect the admins and posters to google you, find any details about you and copy and paste your photos for the forum to see from your facebook page.
Khmer440 has attacked TEFLERS as they call them, yes they seem to hate people who teach English, khmer440 has also attacked Thailand expats and said that Cambodia does not want them, yes khmer440 is a Clique and only some will be let in.

A new visa for retirees in Cambodia has been called on khmer440 “New Visa for Retirees and GSM Whoremongers” [Khmer440 link removed.]
Is this what Cambodia needs? A forum that attacks and derides on all fronts? Can Cambodia not even bring in a new visa without it and people being mocked?

The coastal town of Sihanoukville in Cambodia has the unfortunate nickname on khmer440 "shitsville" this is a highly derogatory name for an up and coming town in the Kingdom and does not bode well for tourism there where many jobs are dependent on the tourists who flock therein.

The list is endless, for many years khmer440 has worked as a nasty journalist venue, the admins have shown no mercy in bringing people down and bullying individuals. If you are a newby on the form then expect no mercy.

If you have an unfortunate encounter with khmer440 then woe betide you, how long will this site carry on attacking people and bringing people down? How long will it embarrass Cambodia and its people?

I used to read k440 on a regular basis but nowadays I have a look at the forum maybe once a week or less.
It now continues to lack the quality content and articles that it once provided.

wow, how will k440 respond to this?
:stir: :stir: :popcorn:
"obviously written by an expat TEFLER whose gf dumped him after spending all his money an Gav gave us all the dirty truth and we wrote about it"

truth be told he is "I am a British expat living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia"
wonder what his story is to cause this write up?

That's ridiculous, Sebastiano Magnanini was an art thief who became a heroin addict and had his body dumped in the Regent's Canal by his deadbeat friends. All Khmer440 did was report the newspaper articles from the Guardian/ Mail/ Islington Gazette etc. A couple of people who knew him chimed in saying he was a good singer/ nice guy etc, that's all.

Nonsense. Peter Hogan didn't found the forum, he bought it about 5 years later. If you bothered to read the thread about his death, you would have noticed quite a few less-than complementary posts that are still there.

The whole post seems completely redundant now anyway, it's complaining about stuff that gets reposted from local/ international press and the forum's style back in 2014 before Peter sold it.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I don't know Playboy does sound deranged in that thread. About 40 posts one after the other with only minutes in between and no-one else posting.
Fancy an NGO female getting Playboy the sack :lol: He certainly kept that one quiet.
See crook!!!

Tony Jones did not die in 2012, it was not that long ago.

Did Fletch or Ricketson post this? I think the site is struggling lately for sure but most people pilloried on it deserved it. Except me of course who got banned for life.
