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.
Testing. I see the ‘remember me’ tab is currently MIA. I’ll bet Adam has a shopping list of stuff to do. Damn fine job to date. Top.

Entertaining day cleaning out the WIR for a refit, in between watching UQ open day webinars with Little miss entropy. At least she has an idea what she wants to do now that a dancer on cruise ships for a year is off the agenda (thank God).

Good to be back, Zulu.

Good to see you here, Riccardo.
We met last year on your Qld tour, on your email list, would like to keep closer contact though.

Wonderful effort Adam D.
Onwards and upwards.
Many like myself don’t comment much, but The Cat has been my first port of call every morning for quite a few years and I suspect that I’m only one of many. Most important that this outlet be continued.
I am in awe of your ability to take over the baton from Sinc.

Just testing the comment lag time. As I said at the old Cat, there needs to be a tickable “Remember me” box at the bottom of the “Leave a reply” field so I don’t have to fill in my details every time I comment.

ALPBC;
“Seventy per cent of the eligible population will need to have had two doses of a vaccine before the nation moves into the next phase of reopening.
Lockdowns, such as what Sydney is currently experiencing, would become a far less common response to coronavirus outbreaks.”
Far less common……
It’s pretty clear that Scummo is all tangled up in the spider’s web of National Cabinet and they have all smiled and nodded letting himself be choked even further. 70% is absolutely NOT the end of lockdowns. And as for 80% and travel, Scummo won’t have any say in what Qantas, BA, Qatar, Delta etc mandate for their on-board requirements. Theatre. All of it.

The other thing you need to fix, Adam D, is that whether a comment is posted, the browser returns to the current location in the current thread — not the top of the thread.
Doing a great job, Adam. Sorry you’re so busy on a love job on your day off.

The Cat will close today and our new premises are already up and running. Just amazing. Thank you so much Adam.

Makka, you insert html commands by inserting them between the sign for less than and the sign for greater than, which don’t print in the usual way but act as brackets to enclose the html instructions. The second thing to know is that you enclose the text you want processed between two such instructions, the first switches it on, and the second switches it off. The second is the same instruction as the first with a forward slash in front of it and no space.
For italics, the instruction is (em) and off is (/em),
For bold the instruction is (strong) and off is (/strong)
For blockquotes the instruction is (blockquote) and off is (/blockquote).
The above three lines require to have ‘(‘ replaced by the less than sign and ‘)’ replaced by the greater than sign.
Thus strong> for bold .

It’s easier to just copy and post the www address into the box. I’m not up to giving a course on html, and you can get it all off the interwebzy thingo if you want to learn it. It’s not difficult, just the usual hassle of learning a new language.

Does anyone have the invite for nilks site on discord? It seemed to crash and when I try to get back on it takes me to national pulse (which I also joined ages ago but never use)

Wow shaterazz wonder what the context is on this. Any idea on jurisdiction, Qld & Vic running the Hugo Boss look but NSW but looks like western Sydney. Reckon this guy was running from cops and had form. That said…
The coward kick is reprehensible though, the bloke is restrained and not a threat. The cop should be charged but as with kerb stomp grub from Epping Vic he’ll probably be let off…
Funny a NSW cop I know said that camera phones would stop this sort of over reach in behaviour from all. Thing is it isn’t and they are getting away with it.

What about the HTML for links? – there is some groovy string that you use but I forget it. This stuff, like all IT, bores me rigid. No offence meant to people who enjoy it or do it professionally. The single most frustrating thing I was involved in during my pleasingly short career was a computer migration. It ended up in the courts (I had resigned and was out of contact on a motorbike in the outback – not by design although it was probably not a bad idea). No idea how it ended up.

Thanks Adam.
I was seriously worried about where I was going to get my profanity fix from.
Thank God the Cat Is back.

Just google href for the instruction for linking. You need to give it two things, the url (i.e. web address, starting off http…) and also the piece of text you want to appear as the link. Tom is going to have a lot of typing to do if the tabs for doing it automatically aren’t here by four a.m. next.

“Ex-MP ‘vindicated’ over dropped rape claims
Michael Johnsen says his career has been destroyed as police cite insufficient evidence over allegations he raped a sex worker.”
We all knew he would be cleared….this was a political smear by NSW Labor designed to ruin a man…..but it backfired on Labor spectacularly but a man’s career has been destroyed in the process.

Hi Guys,
Just a little update which I will put in here as the other thread is a ghost town 🙂
Updates are underway. Apologies for the issues to date but weekends are rather busy with kids sports for me, so would of preferred Sinc pulled the plug on a Tuesday.
I am making changes on a test site so that I can keep this one live and hopefully avoid unwanted side effects (like death with a vaccine).
Changes in progress:
– Comments to appear immediately
– Redirection after comments back to the “Leave a reply” section
– Basic HTML options for those soon to be tech savvy people
– Remember my details added back to the site (this caused the great unmasking so no promises)
– Reply to option on comments. It will post linearly still but will allow specific conversations to remain clear (or easy to avoid as some have suggested).
Lastly I would love to get the old bloggers to return so if you have contact with them feel free to reach out and let them know that we miss them and want them back. Additionally any of the regular Cats who have s
