Hi Cats,
As you can see I have created a copy of the Cat for you to continue to bicker, argue and occasionally make a reasonable point.
I do hope a solution is found with the original Cat but just in case Sinc doesn’t want to transfer the site to a new generation I have built a replica before the closure so we can migrate as many of the community across as possible.
Programming Note: I rushed out the site so there will be bugs. I can get them fixed but did not want perfection to get in the way for progress.
Community Note: Please let as many cats know of the new blog as soon as possible so we can capture the magic of the original. In particular would love for the original posters to continue their great work here.
Ideological Note: I am an infrequent poster but long time reader of the Cat. The discussions there have been a huge part of my own ideological growth on many issues. In particular free speech is key for me so will have a very similar light touch to the original Cat, potentially adopting my one policy on an earlier forum I built: “No D***heads” which is subjective but surprisingly easy to implement.
Website Note: I will run the Cat as close to possible as the original because I don’t believe in re-inventing the wheel. However if the community so wants I am happy to make changes to improve the experience so if you have any ideas let me know. For anything specific hit me up at the contact form, else go nuts in the comments.

I just had egg’s name and email details come up in the posting form below. Doesn’t seem quite right.
Not that I’m in fear of doxxing, but some may be.
Thanks, areff.

Why is egg’s name and email address appearing in the name and email boxes? It’s also very disturbing from phycological level too.
I don’t want be boiled, fried or scrambled.

My sincere thanks to Adam and Dot plus others involved. The Cat is possibly more vital now than at any time in its recent history. Well done and thanks again.

I’ve just unticked save name, email etc. See if this works with a blank card for the next poster.

Don’t need to add your email for comments as a quick fix whilst I work on a lasting solution.

Heh…. and I got Rockdoctor’s ID.
Anyway, as Adam said, we will expect bugs, and roll with the punches.

I had Cronkite (cohenite) and his email address and I’ve now got Rockdoctor and his email address. It’s snot safe.

Untick save name and email. I just did and the reply box was clear. This might be the way to go until Adam sorts out the problem.

Thank you Adam. I feel at home already.

Something has changed (for the better). Until recently if I refreshed the page, I could see the previous posters email address, but not now. It retains my details.

I’m happy to continue facilitating the Catictionary if there’s any call for it. I emailed Sinc a post about it early this week, but what with the Catacopalypse and everything, it didn’t make the cut.
Once this site is running more smoothly – thanks Adam – I’d be happy to accept or cruelly reject any suggestions for NEW words on a separate thread. The same rules would apply as previously, and after one more submission period later this year, I will present the whole, updated, Catalexicon in late November or early December (including those from earlier this year, and previous incarnations).

Adam – There’s no hurry if it takes too much tech-thingying as I’m aware this is to be a transitional site. It might give us something to do in the interim though, aside from planning new feuds that is! We can get it started here and then drag any submissions across to a new site when it is ready.
Summary of the above: Yes please; a separate thread might not mess up the open thread as much.

Acknowledged Mark. I posted without deleting my details to test whether the issue is resolved (for Adam’s info). I don’t actually care about the address but also understand that many cannot be as casual.
From a positive perspective, Tailgunner and I are now blood brothers. Can I call you Taileee now? What about Gunny? Do we have a secret code? Handshake? This is fun!!!! A new friend and I promise not to call you every day, well, not more than a couple of times per day.

Give the man some space, people…he did say the initial site was rather rough around the edges. Considering it’s only been up for a few hours, the number of comments that have appeared already is extremely encouraging,
Once these have been sorted, we need some html tags, or even better, nested comments.
And after that, the ability to edit one’s comments that have already been posted.
Extremely good effort already, anyway.

Just who isn’t giving Adam the “space” you describe? Stop calling people out when there is no reason to. People are highlighting problems they’re found with the site. Highlighting problems that would help Adam. Stop being a fussy little drama queen as there are are enough around.
