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.

Is everybody here?

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

Thanks, Adam.
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.
Is this too hard for you to understand, lady. If it is then STFU. Actually , STFU anyway.

Hi Adam,
My email addy isn’t sticking in the field down below. I guess it’s on the list to fix. Will you build in the link, bolding and quote options too at some point? Cheers.

Thanks heaps, Adam.

According to some geniuses here, Makka, you’re not supposed to inform Adam of any problems. That way he won’t fix the those problems and the site doesn’t move ahead.

Well this is great.
3 choices.
The dying cat.
The imitation cat.
Or some weird twitter like thingo.
Yeah alright, you’ve all put effort in.
But I hope the efforts so far aren’t indicative of the final outcome.
Work harder peasants. I want the cat back.
You there: Put together a team to kidnap the doomlord.
You two: fix this damn blog.

Adam has done a fine job JC. Damn fine. And he has asked users to let him know of bugs so he can fix them. I don’t see a problem, as long as we are patient and give him time.

Should I or shouldn’t I post my lame pics?

Just a suggestion. Use the discord site an official Open Forum and also as a place to seek out guest post. Plus put a minimum word count on the authors. If you need a hand with wordpress let me know.

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.
