HELLO

[Gradual Decline]

Cheers, Neil.

Just want to add my thanks for all your work along with all the daft bastards who have recently returned from watching Alien: Covenant.

[a peepee tipi]

Thanks! I don't mean it, but everyone else is saying it! (Genuinely made my day and genuinely missed this place even as relatively short as the downtime was!)

[Sydward Lartle]

I'm glad the tags have vanished, especially as they were nowt but a platform for cackling opportunistic hyenas to slag certain posters off whilst rubbing their engorged glans through their pockets.

[Blumf]

I approve of this turn of events.

[mothman]

Thanks from me also. Shame about the karma but then it always was a rather odd conceit.

[Bobby Treetops]

Thank you Neil, I completely get why you'd fuck off all this palaver off....but it's good to be back. 

Again thanks you Neil.

[Bobby Treetops]

...and you still owe me 200 bitcoins

[wosl]

Very well done, Neil.  Great to see the place back.  Loss of karma good (because kittens had accrued far too much, for one thing); loss of tags sad, but the main thing is: the forum lives!

[Mini]

Great work Neil!

Now, I think someone was saying something about Derek...?

[kittens]

can't believe i'll never break 2000 karma now, devastating
still though, nice work neil making site go again.
was fun when we were all huddling in the facebook group wasn't it

[Lost Oliver]

THANK YOU NEIL.

[Ian Drunken Smurf]

Well done Barry/Neil. I remember it was a bugger getting up a site again with about 100k posts - I realise that was a drop in the ocean compared with CaB. Slightly sad that I never got a negative karma point, but glad the site is back.

[Thomas]

Neil, you have worked a wonder. Thank you.

We went outside and were some time, but we came back.

[GMTV]

Thanks! The Internet would be NOTHING without this place.

No tags now so I might try and make the odd post now and again.

-1 karma for vaingloriousness

Good work Barry. When I went on to CAB and saw a blank page I was worried it might have been gone forever and my life wouldn't have been worth living. Now it is.

The main CAB page is still saying that we've been hacked and tells you to listen to Sleater-Kinney, so you might want to change that. I mean the Sleater-Kinney bit.

[Consignia]

I too must extend my thanks to Barry Admin for the spending the effort on getting this site back up and running. It's great site and I'd be lost without it.

For my own curiosity I've installed a local copy of Simple Machines Forums to have a look at it's security. <removed further details>

[mobias]

Cheers Neil for getting it back up and running. Much appreciated.

[slapasoldier]

I'm glad the tags have vanished, especially as they were nowt but a platform for cackling opportunistic hyenas to slag certain posters off whilst rubbing their engorged glans through their pockets.

I never saw any examples of that. What posters do you mean?

[Uncle TechTip]

Amazing scenes. Thanks man.

[Barry Admin]

Thanks again everyone, for your gratitude and continued support, and posting.

Consignia, interesting stuff and all, but I'm always conscious that there are some total malicious nutters who read this site, and I constantly worry about enabling them/giving them ideas...

Really sorry. I'll remove the content. It's just my natural curiosity getting the better of me.

[Barry Admin]

Ta, appreciate it!

[BlodwynPig]

Thank you Neil.

[koeman]

I'd like to add my thanks to the ever growing list.

[Thursday]

Sorry if I missed this being discussed, but are we just sticking with no karma/no tags or is the plan to re-implement them eventually? I'll miss them sometimes, but I quite like the idea of not having them, at least for a while.

Means I can't indulge the needy part of myself that wants to get good karma for my hilarious jokes.

[Nice Relaxing Poo]

Ta very much Neil. How do I make a paypal donation to show my appreciation? The links to do it seem to be missing.

After reading it I couldn't work out if you're a tech genius or on a fantastic wind up
