I think it was done by the society for the preservation of grassy knolls.
 
It's an amateur job. The database is still intact as when I looked again it had CI Football + with 19000 posts on file, even if they weren't there for you to read. If Allam had paid someone to take out CI, they would have taken it out, the whole lot, wouldn't they.

All they did was wipe the forum clean and change the header. Probably 90% of all forums are very easily hacked by creating a new admin account through a loophole, and it looks like that's exactly what has happened at CI. Far from 'paying a geek' to do that, anyone with a computer can do it in a minute with a quick search on Google, it's very simple.

It stinks of some kid being a childish little muppet to me, nothing more.

Maybe it was a warning shot meant to appear like it was done by a childish little cockney muppet?
 
Would it not be more apparent that CI had been hacked if someone had logged on and been pleasant.
 
There are a few idiots on CI but also some pretty good posters , like most forums I suppose
We are all Hull City fans

Probably not, cos he'd pay them f**k all and insist they did it on Christmas Day. No one on Earth is allowed to question his business decisions.

Cos its a hangout for "retired hooligans" who think the glory days were when they could move fast enough to fight other "crews" but now just stink of stale piss and old ale/mild. Plus, the ones that do come over here just seem to whine about all the other posters on here and generally lower the IQ here just by being here. Apart from that, they're a great bunch.

I'm not a hooligan, retired or otherwise.

Making sweeping and moderately offensive generalisations about a whole group of people does you no favours.

By the sounds of things, me staying and you going would actually move the average IQ in an upward direction; in fact I'm pretty sure of it.

Anyway; as you were.

Would love to know what happened to Happy Tiger on CI.

CI is his nightmare, his &#8216;Nam &#8211; and I suspect that he was bullied into leaving the said forum a few years ago, probably after lasting a couple of weeks.

He (and one or two others) are obsessed by CI and mention it on a weekly basis which is pretty pretty pretty sad.
