    Since boards went down I've become a cam model on one of those sites you see advertised on porn sites.

    Every cloud eh?

    OK I give up, it was me. You got me.

    I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids.

    Still being attacked by the looks of it - http://threatmap.fortiguard.com/

    I did much more work

    Unfortunately, because I was so distraught at the loss of boards.ie, I did it very poorly and have cost my employer millions in rectifying all my mistakes.

    Anyone know where I can get a new job?

    So did they just get board (pun intended) and stop cause if so it really shows a lack of commitment.

    I had to talk to people in work the last few days, what makes it worse was that it was the days following our Xmas party and the awkward silences that follows that night

    So what was the purpose of the attack, money is it ? And who or what is cloudflare and how does it work.

    Glad its back.

    Only so much reading of The Journal you can do, man there are some nutters over there.

    Generally find the people who moan most are still fairly bitter over being banned :D
