Problems with libcom

As people may have noticed, libcom has been down since this morning. We're currenty experiencing some problems with transfering to a new server - many of you may have noticed we've had more downtime than usual recently. This is due to a combination of problems with our previous hosting, and the massive increase in traffic the site has experienced recently. Basically, we've become victims of our own success, but are working to get things sorted as soon as possible, and we presume everything will be sorted in the next few days. Thanks to everyone for their continued support, and we will keep you all updated as to progress.

Now our old hosts have put up an old version of the site, so we've had to close down the forums, and bits and pieces are browsable... hopefully not too long now though...
 
We're back!

Most, if not all the site is up again. Posts from Thursday seem to have been lost, but everything else seems to be up. Thanks everyone for your patience.

I fucking hope you're joking. :mad:

Just to let people know - other sections of the site won't be completely restored until this evening - so you may get error messages if you look at anything other than the forums (if any of you ever do :()

you just posted some Dissent shite on it about an hour ago you daft fuck.

Just cos the bigger boys tore your pish poor interpretation of operismo to shreds on it, no need to be bitter. :D
 
quote of the year:

NFB 'I find it really worrying that on grouo of libertarians could censor another.'

LC 'would you not censor anything and have it turn into indymedia? Would you print something by hakim bey for instance, a known paedophile?'

NFB 'I'd have to look at the article.' :eek:
 
oh no the libcom admins after mees! :eek:

quick run!

:D

I actually enjoyed the meeting at the bookfair. It was interesting to see the level on (non) debate. Plus I think my contributions actually livened up what was a dull little meeting.
 
That's one way of putting it, the other of course would be that you wilfully wasted the time of various attendees (including me and the Black flag ppl who have nothing to do with it) by interrupting with something that was largely irrelevant to the point of the meeting. I would have been happy to talk about your idea to set up a womble magazine (which you mentioned once, in passing, claiming it was your main reason for being there) but there was little chance of that, sadly.

On the other hand, I note you still haven't linked to Freedom, Black Flag (or indeed libcom) on the Wombles' own site despite a couple of requests? An oversight I assume, as you clearly wouldn't be censoring us, would you?

I'll give you the following:
1) the meeting was goinf nowhere
2) you aregued your case well

but i'll have to subtract:
1) it had nothing to do with the topic
2) you knew full well there was no chance of a conclusion
3) Its all bollocks anyway

which i'm afriad leaves you wth a score of minus 1 :(

You don't go away empty handed tho, you libcom biro, a libcom pack of coloured pencils and a libcom lunchbox.

The main page still has G8 stuff on it, so its probably just needing updating.

No wait freedom and BF have been running for decades.

oooh.

Be careful, you wouldn't want to be branded as part of the runt litter. :p
 
Nah Raw wouldn't do that, iirr I argued in his favour when it first happened, my main change of view now is that I think it is so utterly trivial that a year is quite long enough to have moved on beyond the point of bothering to complain, let alone to actively disrupt other peoples' meetings, and particularly when you are yourself on the wrong side of the debate you're trying to win.
 
Hi Rob Ray and others,

(1)There was no intention to disrupt the meeting. I have no problem with people as long as they do what they say they do and Black Flag though I have had problems with it not doing what it can do (though I'm sure the people involved know this) have improved consideriable.

(2)I think I raised important issues in the context of libertarian media and my intervention in the debate was a response to comrade who mentioned about setting up some "media response unit" to clarify certain political/factual inaccuracies in capitalist media. If you remember I disagreed with it on the basis of presenting anarchism in a good, acceptable light, something which is impossible to justify considering that anarchist ideas and actions have been illegal, anti-moral and sometimes fucked up. My example was the informal anarchic federation (FAI in italian) and the subsequent statements by anarchist federations.

(3)The magazine I spoke about is not a "wombles magazine" it is seperate and includes people from different groups and background. It will be a 96 page magazine which will come out twice yearly and will attempt to go beyond whats out there, in a comradely way.

(4)Revol is a cock, I assume a little cock. What else would be the reason for continuosly assuming he knows more about operaismo/autonomia than I do. I haven't as yet written an analysis of it, anywhere, so I don't know what he is refering too.

(5)Regarding the links. Well if black flag will publish our contact details in the next issue (which it hasn't and doubt will ever do) then I'm sure we will publicise them. However if you would like to suggest a link to our website then please email us and it'll be up in a day! We're not as petty as the little runts.

(6)I heard on the grapevine that the "spacehijackers" are anti-organisational AND anti-community, when are they gonna get kicked off libcom?

raw
 
So you don't think anarchists should disown themselves from fuckwits?

Are you going down the montevideo road of everything ever done by the working class (as a class in itself i might add) is beyond judgement, except like a proper activist you replace "working class" with Anarchist?

And do you accept that Libcom have the right to link or unlink to any group they wish?

You might not agree with it but you can't call it censorship.

I don't see a link from the WOMBLES to Organise! (thank fuck!) does that mean you are censoring my Belfast comrades?

And you have put forward various piss poor interpretations of Autonomism on the libcom boards, in particular your daft notions that autonomism is a geogrpaphical space eg squat instead of a a description of the working classes own dynamism within the process of capital.

if only the summer would come and then youse twats could spend your time penned in by the police being ogled at by the public as some sort of Damien Hirst piece gone astray.

Oh god, I forgot this, it was so amazing! You seriously claimed that it was bad for IFA to disassociate themselves from any mentalist with a fetish for random bombings that call themselves, didn't you?

Auto-critique! :D :D
 
he is right about a 'media response unit' being utterly pointless though, who gives a fuck how the mainstream media present us - they will always try and smear anarchists
