ok guys this is getting silly, we are going to migrate everyone over to the new board. We will keep this one open until everyone gets the word and we have all shifted across. We will also preserve the mails here

A couple of things to note that are really important.

In response to requests we have merged some categories. We still have the same content, but some areas have merged to make the homepage list smaller as per requests.

Secondly, there is a hot off the wires section. That section will be a rolling page of the most important threads we are running with. So you can ALWAYS go there to see the latest important stuff in a rolling page format - so we have the best of both forum types.

What we dont have yet is final artwork for the site, so please bear with us! We are moving a couple of days early because of the issues here.

Without further a do please head over to

WWW.JANEYSNEWS.COM

You can skip the splash screen and go directly to the forum itself at

forum.janeysnews.com



It is a more professional board, faster bandwidth and we hope you will be pleased.

What happened to the No-fly zone?

It appears to me that today is the day Quacky launches the counter attack. Tweets suggest that forces have drained from Tripoli and are forceing out east to Misrata and West to Zawia, obviously staking his defense on these two gatekeeper cities. Victories by protesters here might break the monsters back.
