• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

As you will know if you joined us for today's live show, there was a denial of service attack (DDoS) directed against the servers we use to bring our guests’ audio and video into the show. This deprived us of our guests and consequently, we had to cancel the show. Frustratingly, the attack stopped at 5:26pm UK, but by then I’d already cancelled.

This has never happened before, but I’m now looking into having a fallback communication system in place for guests.

Sorry for the disappointment, folks, but Pop-Ups will be back next Sunday.
