I have removed the previous post to hopefully get the thread moving again

 

wonders what was there...

 

I will repost what was in the original I hope it is acceptable. if not perhaps one of the site team could edit it out.

 

I am posting this as an afterthought in the hope the person/s bringing the action will see it.

 

This site has undoubtedly saved lives.

My question is who is backing this former site admin person?

[huggy41]

me and huggys boss are going to buy 1 less packet of fags in the morning which means i can give CAG £5 postal order, i know it's not much to some but it's alot to us.Then you can go kick the brown stuff out of them:p

[pt2537]

I think this is a really good idea, mods, could that be done??

Dont know to be honest

 

However , i have asked the question:)

 

will let you know when i hear

I don't want to put anyone off their wonderful ideas, but can I just say that mass-mailing this amount of people would likely to be a very expensive exercise.

 

Also, whilst it would be nice to know how well we are doing, unfortunately, there are less friendly eyes who would be delighted to know how quickly they can exhaust the fund so that CAG would have to throw in the towel, and so it is unfortunately unrealistic to get something like that out in the open.

[adamski]

who is backing this person just how powerful are they

[Wingus]

hmmm, in most charity, and non profit organisations, you wouldn't have to put a meter in to explain all the funds and wehre they go, just a simple fund meter based on what current targets are.

 

Example...you could put that this site wishes to raise...um..£30,000 for example, towards the libel fund.

 

And a meter could be displayed at the amount roughly raised.

 

Sure there would be competitors with the same idea's, and want to destroy the good and kind nature of this site, but they can go to hell, it's not thier site and not thier problem.

 

They are only jelouse anyway that they didn't think of it and can't do it cause they not get the same members:)

[pt2537]

how powerful are they

Powerful?? no not a word i would use, however they are very very wealthy that is probably the biggest problem

On the contrary, i think we should make it known to ALL that we are not prepared to see this site brought down, and that we will have a plan B, should the thing go pear - shaped, and that if it should be their intention to close this site, (which i presume is their ultimate intention), then it is futile!

I did my bit, i donated £5. Yep, i'm on benefits, and it's £5 of taxpayers money, but it goes to help more than one person in one situation, a sort of comunity donation:)

 

If you want to justify taxpayers money..have a look at the immigrant with £170,000 benefits a year..and housing benefit pay them to live in a £1.2 million house.

The size of your bank balance matters a lot when it comes to the law in this country. Sad but true.

 

Justice so often comes with a £ sign attached to the possible outcome.

 

Time to buy an extra lottery ticket this weekend folks.

Wingus, dont wind me up

[Wingus]

I tell ya all, if i wont the lottery, in a way god forbid it, this site and most of it's members wouldn't need to worry so much, i would personally hire a top lawyer, and not ask them...tell them to defend this site and it's admins, and get a nice crew of web designers to make it snazzy...then get a huge public campaign to make sure everyone knows this site is here:)

 

But enough of my dreaming...back to reality..lol

[Wingus]

Wingus, dont wind me up

 

I swear on my life, that story is true...it's in the national papers, or at least was today. Not sure if it's in the news now, but i swear it's true.

[creditcardmug]

Notwithstanding the exceptional support seen so far, i have to say that this issue has been weighing heavily on my mind since the scandal broke, to the point where im finding it hard to think of anything else.

 

This site is literally a lifeline to many people, and will be more so in the weeks and months to come, given the economic circumstances.

 

I really do think that we should develop a contingency plan, should the worst happen, to that end im thinking of starting a new thread in order to debate the possibilities, i have a number of suggestions myself so far.

 

Is their anyone else with a view on this?

[Rooster-UK]

who is backing this person just how powerful are they

Sorry Adamski. I know how infuriating it is when you are trying to get answers, but we are talking about serious litigation, here.

It would not be proper to reveal that sort of information.

 

I will repost what was in the original I hope it is acceptable. if not perhaps one of the site team could edit it out.

I will certainly not moderate that statement. It happens to be true.

A few months ago, a number of team members were actively involved in successfully getting medical help to a user who had deliberately OD'd.... and all without the users real name and address.

 

Please don't ask who the team members were or who the User is. That information is classified.

 

 

Another thank you for all donations received and for any donations that are in the pipeline.

All donations are appreciated, regardless of the size.

Superb job folks

[vincentfan]

I havent got alot of cash as I have recently had my IB stopped

I am living frugally on my meagre savings and am trying with no luck to find employment

 

Without you guys I would not be here - You have helped me out of the deep dark pit which the DCA's put me in - And on the road to recovery - Which I cannot thank you enough for

 

If the person who is doing this to CAG - I hope you read my post

Because if you succeed in closing CAG the ''next me'' may not be so lucky without the support of the CAG members

 

I will be sending a cheque tomorrow for £10 (Its all I can afford) as I do not trust pay-pal (Plus they take a cut of the cash)

 

Just to mention its my birthday today

What a stinker of a present to read this awful news

 

Keep up the good work CAG xxxx

 

I have copied my post to the debt collection thread as that is where I normally post

 

Without the support and laughs from certain people in this thread I would have been a gonner

 

You peeps know who you are - So long continue xxxx

[PossVox]

If the worst comes to the worst, then surely a Phoenix will rise from the flames.

 

We can't let this site die. It's imperative that we fight however we can.

It is for this very reason that this site MUST continue. Whatever happens. We have to make a stand and continue the fight for fair play for decent hard working people. Even if we have to set up CAG 2 in the future, then we will. Hopefully it won't come to that, but it's always best to have a reserve plan, just in case.

 

The CAG will continue. We will not roll over and submit to defeat. We won't let the banks beat us, we won't let the DCA's beat us. We will not go silently into the night. This is just another battle among many that we'll fight.

 

Stick together, keep the donations coming in. Every £1 helps.

 

WE WILL WIN THIS ONE AND COME OUT STRONGER AND MORE UNITED AS A RESULT.

 

:grin:

And lets hope that this person instigating this litigation, who probably 99% of this forum have never even HEARD of given how fast moving it is, can sleep well in their beds tonight knowing that they aren't harming the owners of this site, they're harming the lifeline it has become to so very many people!

 

 

To whoever you are, probably keeping a close eye on CAG in your little mission, just remember.... Karma can be a bitch!

 

 

(moderate me if you must... I wanted to vent!)

Excuse me creditcardmug for becoming post mad over this situation;)

Totally agree with all of the above.

 

A new totally dedicated thread would be fine but if we spread stuff all over the site it makes it not so easy for guests to follow:eek:

 

Contingency plan yes would be good but got to be careful about who gets to know what it would be. Site team will need to advise on this so no information is inadvertanly passed on.
