Mailwatch is back, of sorts.

Despite Timbo's best efforts and negotiations, it has become clear that the original Mailwatch, all the backups, and all our bons mots were lost in the fire that destroyed our hosts' premises in Strasbourg.

That this could happen in 2021 is as remarkable as it is disastrous. But we are where we are.

It gives our community to rebuild and to try to regain some of the camaraderie of old, so let's do just that.

In practical terms, everyone will need to re-register and, in order to keep the spambots at bay, all registrations will need to be manually approved - hopefully, we will be able to achieve this without too much fuss or delay but please be patient.

Our previous standards apply, even if they're not published at the moment, but the main principles remain unchanged. If we stick to these, we'll be fine;

Be nice.
Be interesting.
Fuck the Tories.

We are going back to the default colour scheme for the time being. The MW Skin is giving too much gip but we'll get it (or summat like it) fixed in the coming days. Please bear with some weird looking shit while that is being resolved, but it's that or staying offline for even longer.

Many of my deepest thanks to Kreuzy & Timbo for their efforts to get the site up and running again, it genuinely saddened me that I was not able to consult the forum on the interesting times of the last month, and I lament that the vast breadth of discussion of yore has been lost to the great fire. I'll have to hope that Wayback Machine can provide some help in that regard.

Meanwhile, am glad to be back in all of your fine company again :D

Hello all - many thanks from me to Kreuz, Timbo and anyone else. Nice to be back (though my blood pressure may disagree).

Also: I've truncated my name, which given how long it was will probably add literally days back to my life saved from typing :grin:

Y'know, I don't contribute a huge amount to this place (or rather, its predecessors), but I did miss it. Good to be back.

Even if this is a conduit to futile rage, of course.
