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.

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,
I’m in two minds about nested comments, if the topic is popular it can get very deeply nested and comments missed by late arrivals to the discussion.
The method used here is clear and uncluttered provided one quotes the OP or the part responding to.

The only advantage of nested quotes is when they are replies to numbers so I can scroll past the lot in one go.

I put out a suggestion to use MeWe (www.mewe.com) instead of running an exact replica.
I hope you are using something other than WordPress, as I recall the Doomlord occasionally using uncomplimentary language about that platform, at times apologising to all Cats for some electronic glitch.

It’s also taking a while for comments to appear. You may want to take a look at this problem too when you have time.”
Yes…but Adam has done so well. Remember any new venture has teething problems.
Bringing over a little of the flavor from the old blog to here, are you partially or fully retarded, Lady?
In order for Adam to get this site up and running properly, he needs to fucking know about the problems the users are experiencing. It helps him.

Good morning Cats here on hyphenated Cat Files. I expect there will be a fair bit of movement between three lifeboats (Sinc’s Last Forum, this site and Nilk’s Discordant Cats site where last nite Birdie was throwing around the C-bomb until Nilk took the comment down. Adam, are you and Dot in liaison re what is happening? We will all need to know when some funding is required. I don’t know if Nilk needs any or if her site simply folds in the Discordant Cats – but as Birdie shows there is a need for moderation alrady. Nilk can’t do it all forever.
Some people are delighted with the look and feel of Nilk’s site and may well hang onto that while being tempted back in here when Adam has it all up and running.. That’s OK, some people have always been on twitter, which is similar, anyway.
Nilk, Adam and Dot are putting in the hard yards and must not hesitate to call for some funding when necessary. Kudos to them for their efforts so far.

The Australian:
“Unvaccinated in for a rude awakening: Joyce
Barnaby Joyce has predicated private companies will begin refusing service to people who are not vaccinated from Covid-19.
The Deputy Prime Minister said business owners would likely not want to be responsible for unvaccinated people falling sick from the virus.
“People in private enterprise are going to say ‘look I’ve got rights here too’,” Mr Joyce told Sky News.
“If you want to come into my barber shop, or my childcare facility …then I have a right to say, maybe, have you been inoculated’?
“And if you say you haven’t, I have got a right as the owner of the shop to say I can’t have you sitting in a seat next to someone who has.”
Even Bananarby is in on the scam.

The latest in corporate activism:
PayPal has partnered with the ADL and other unnamed non-profits to “track and disrupt” the on-line payments of parties they deem to be “extremists”.
You can see how this noble sounding enterprise is going to work – activists at the ADL etc. will send the names of people they disagree with to PayPal who will then cut them from their system.

Which is exactly what was intended right from the start. It conveniently sidesteps all those nasty limitations in the Constitution. Qantas was the first major cab off the rank.
Of course, Barnaby would know all about it. He is part of the government that created the situation in the first place, and he voted in support of the enabling legislation.

Corporate activism = corporate fascism.
And no, Barnaby Joyce, a shop keeper cannot inquire of a person’s vaccination status.
Not unless you and your mates in the “Liberal” Party legislate exceptions to privacy & anti-discrimination laws.

Yeah will speed up the display of comments.
I will probably add a reply to function so it quotes the original message but keeps the post linear rather than the nested comments.
Funding is not an issue but moderation and other side task may be more burdensome if the site takes off. I just rushed this one out in case sinc pulled the plug quickly.
I have messaged dot but waiting to hear back.
I believe email cache has been resolved now as well.

Is this a case of the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes?’
The fully vaccinated will not be immune to catching or transmitting Covid-19, but we are being sold vaccination essentially as a cure (though they’ve been careful not to use that word). It might be more correct to state that vaccination is being sold as a cure to the official RESPONSE to Covid-19 (lockjaw here in Australia).
Economically and psychologically, we are being stripped naked, and told that if we (selfishly) wish to be granted the privilege of wearing clothes again, we must all de-robe?

Barnaby and the Nationals also supported the Cash Restrictions 2019 legislation, and the changes the various banking laws that now make you an “unsupported creditor” instead of a “depositor”, and blocked attempts by Roberts to clarify that legislation, amongst other things.
