We have emergency backup threads all over the place, started back when Luc, Myth and Ice kept getting suspended for bad language. We were able to work out a deal with (Bob) where bad language and sheep-shagging jokes were tolerated as long as confined to "our" boards, so don't need them these days, but they're there. iHub already has one. But (Bob) has announced a no tolerance policy there, is my understanding.

Correction - I was just informed by a reliable source who has been in communication with (Bob), that (Bob) would love to have CFZ move to iHub, and would continue with the tolerance policy as long as we announced a warning to newbies that we play rough and use bad language, and confined the language to the thread. (Bob) likes the CFZ, and thinks we have some of the smartest people he has ever met, anywhere, which is certainly true. If people want to think about moving to iHub, we can open negotiations and try to broker an agreement. Until they get the ten-messages-at-a-time thing worked out, a heavily posted thread like this one is unwieldy, IMO, and I've got broadband.
