Wow it's good to see this site back.  Many, many, many thanks to miskie and all the others who work so constantly and tirelessly to keep this the awesome place that it is.

It's good to be back--but SR and SLW did an awesome job hosting us.  I'll be back over there a fair amount.

Glad CC is back, and thanks to all the hard-working volunteer people!

Edit: I just dropped a line on Conservative Political Forum letting folks know CC is back up. I know a few Cave people went over there for refuge.

I thought the site was a goner for good. Glad it is back up.

Thanks to those who worked so hard to make this a reality.

You have no idea how grateful I am right now.

I'm off to bed

The last change for the night involved cleaning up the database, putting my pile of redundant test sites, databases etc to bed, and finally fully enabling the site to run as fast as its capable of running.

(to those who care, it was running in fast-cgi mode, which serves well as a failsafe. its now backended by Nginx - with the amount of rapid fire database changes I was throwing at it, I didn't want to risk spinning the server out of control)

There are still things to do, but I'm tired to the point where its likely Ill make a mess of things, so those things can wait.

GREAT JOB!!!!!!
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Judging by the strength of the attack (15GB/sec) and the number of conservative sites attacked at once, I'm guessing Anonymous.

Man, you are way up high on a pantheon of heroes here, way up there.

I can't tell you how grateful I am, personally.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
