:lol:

:lol:

I'm wokring tonight & been a little busy.....slacking :lol: I have new hours & will be getting off work in just a few. I may stay up for a little while afterward. ;)

Nah....didn't miss it. Who do you think was one of the messengers for the exodus. ;) :lol: I managed to bail in the boat after I made sure others were coming too. ;)

And I thought that I'd bailed on CF last winter.

Bout damn time momma. . .lol


You must have been busy huh?

Hey! You didn't tell me =(

But it's ok because ~M did ;)

MMMMMM POpcorn.

Is that Kettle Corn by chance?

ohhhh....even better.

It has begun... wanting memberships, and links on the home page.

Just wait for the Ads.

It was my hope, in all of this ick and ugly - like the posting of the *customers* thread - that we don't lose those that will just stop posting because VS drives them away. That happened on every other site I used to belong to... the value was lost when people just drifted off the site.

CF wasn't ever just a site to me - I know more people from there than many. I won't go into any financial aspects, because whatever I put into it is FAR less than any investment Rob and Nancy made.

I'm not mad - to be mad would mean they are important in my life... There is absolutely no reason to be mad at Rob and Nancy... and VS isn't important enough :idk: I do love how people interpret my thread though - as a selfish troll... YAY!!

I've missed where the premium membership stuff is displayed, though I've seen it mentioned in a thread or two. But I swear I saw ads at the very bottom of the pages not more than two days ago that are no longer there. There were four or five ads, about the size of an avatar each, for some biker dating website. I don't know if those were there all along and only recently removed, or added and then quickly removed when the uproar began.

Thanks to Zoomie for the PM. This place looks like a lot of fun!:twfix:

Glad to see even more CF faces over here. :dthumb: :rockwoot: :twfix:

Well, my names not Rob anyway, go figure. And I don't even know anyone named Nancy.

Surprising, right?

I really came to care about the folks over on CF and when I saw what was happening I went into a state of panic. It wasn't JUST a forum. Bummer.

Hopefully everyone will find this little refuge. :D

Those were the google adwords ads that we stuck in there last year to try and make a few bucks for the cause, They made it over during the migration to the new software, since they're still working on the skins and template hacks we put in place they won't all get pulled at once, but over time as they get to them...

You do now :D Well, in an internet, I know who you are sort of way...

:D
hello!
thanks zoomie for the bulletin
I dont know if I am a refugee really since its been since 06 when I was there but this looks like a fun place to hang out. :dthumb:

tm

Here for the mass exodus... :)

Woohoo. Snaps made it. :welcome:

Hi all.

Ok, my better half finally made it in :D

:welcome:

Well the thread deletions have started on schedule. No warnings, just buh-bye thread.

Hmmmm, was it on the main skin only? I don't recall seeing that stuff on the Emerge skin. Oh well.

I noticed that. That's disconcerting and unfortunate. I was actually trying to give them a chance and assume when they said that almost nothing would change, they meant that any changes would be superficial or for the better. Silly me for thinking that it meant better for the community.

Maybe I shouldn't have posted that I would never pay for a "premium" membership.

Cowards.

JC

Was there any posting that listed what this premium membership buys? I did a half assed scan of the site looking for the "give me money" button, but I gave up when I couldn't must up enough of a damn to care.

Well I made it over but I'm just really finding I have a lot less time (and inclination) to learn the set up of a new forum. :(

I'm here now too. No promises.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Let the fawning begin! :drool::welcome::welcome:

Hey you two! :welcome: :twfix:

It's easy to learn and so far the people are a good mix of nice and smartass... :lol: We fit right in!

Not yet. I think the new owners are too busy figuring out which people to censor first.

Apparently, I'm on the short list.

Go figure...

JC

Maybe the paid membership gets you a PM'd explanation on why your threads get deleted.

YAY I'm in good company. Like I could doubt that :lol:

It will be an increased size PM box and immunity from 90% of the ad content on the board. If things go as they have elsewhere, then you can expect to see a banner ad between every few posts if you aren't a paying member.

:lol:

Well fuck, where do I sign?

JC

Lynn02 present

Damn, girl! That was quick! :rofl:

:welcome:

I knew she did...that's why i did't. ;) It took me a while to go through my contact list. I didn't realize how many CF members numbers I have numbers for! :lol: There was a few I didn't text because I knew M had taken care of you guys. ;)

LOL I don't mess around. :dthumb:

Welcome to everyone who I haven't welcomed so far. I haven't been on since Friday afternoon and I don't feel like going through 9 pages of new posts.

Don't bet on it. Trust me, i've been thru this, and even had an inside track on what was going on, before most other people, only second to the owner/admin of the first TWF.


That is it... its a fuckin rip! They take the site you love, jack it all up, then expect you to pay to get it back to 80%. The site will never be the same. Trust us.

They will tell you they care but its a hoax. I had a direct line to the new owners, still have the number... but it don't help.

Your best bet... stick around here. We'll make you comfortable, do what we can to make this the best site you can find. We will never sell out. We are a union forum.

Please cease posting and usage of your old site. It is the only way to get them to hear us.

i'm here :drool:

Well Said Gas Man...Well Said:badger::badger:

Where've you been on CF? Haven't seen you over there in a while. Just lurking?

yeah lurking mostly, post a little in the southeast and pro racing sections

Gas is right. They don't give a fuck. Just jump shit and post here from now on. Don't even log into the old joint.

that's very difficult. For 5+ years I've logged in every day to check stuff and say hi and that's a hard habbit to break. :( :( :(

Yup, same here. Since 2002.

Same here, though I was a few months behind the initial SBN withdrawl.

Hell, I met Leon vaguely on SBN, then we all moved to CF, and look now, 6 years later, we are engaged.

so for alot of us, CF is like a home. Or WAS like a home.

Shit still pisses me off. :(

Hell, I'd still be willing to send money to Rob and Nancy at the same levels as the "CF supporter" stuff, to try and help them out however little :(

I made the same list. maybe it was the cursing. or the fact that VS followed the curse. Fuck Vs. let them try and censor that!

Oh ya - and they took away naked pictures - what kind of communist shit is that?!

My nekkid pics are gone too :(

Fuckin Nazi motherbitches.

i just cleaned out my PM box, send away.

send away??? Nah.

we were proper dirty girls. We posted that shit

alright then find your way to the dark alley.

:whistle::whistle::whistle:

You Wont!

Gotta get to know you first.:twfix:

Fuck VS! I thought they promised to not change the site! I think I'll mosey over there one last time & give them a piece of my mind. Maybe...just maybe....if I'm good enough I'll not only have a thread deleted but get banned too. :lol:

I can't believe they took down the pictures. Zeos said earlier that they were moving the server & that's why the pics weren't showing up. If not, I'm glad they aren't there anymore. I don't know about you ladies, but knowing any cock muncher affilated with VS can jack off to our pics makes me feel violated.....and not in a good way.

Your more than welcome to Share with us...We arent Greedy like those VS Fucks ;)

Good thing I saved most of them :D

that's exactly the same shit they said to us... and what we did in return... I think I was the first to be banned... but posting FUCK VS in my signature and 30 or 40 post of hardcore porn will do that... :lol:

Ya know, I am sure plenty of refugees have them saved....hahahahaha

honestly I don't think I have any of you Kel, I've only been on CF for 1 1/2 yrs I guess. Looked through a few old threads but i do have stuff from then on :D

And how is that different from what I've been doing?

you're not a VS cock muncher Derf...cock muncher :lmao: Rogue kills me :D

I'm in
 

I dropped the fish from Cuttlefish and what do I find????

This: :fishon:

:tt:


whoa - Particle Man must be in heaven with this smiley list :lol:

I about had a siezure figuring out which one to use first. :whistle:

Hello, I've been on this forum a bit. I was "catnip" on CF

Please don't encourage him :lol:

I don't need encouragement redflip

Trust me...most of us here have been through the exact same thing. We'd been members on the original TWF for years and the rug was pulled out from under us.

sup

it's too late already: he has almost 300 posts and at least 600 smileys :pwhore2:

Wouldn't surprise me if he had that in the first two hours. After all, it's easier to build a post count with one or two smilies in each, than it is when writing long drawn-out political diatribes :lol:

Once upon a time.... yadda yadda yadda.... the end.

There. redflip

Hi Ed :welcome:

I need a beer...

Did anyone else notice cf is down???

Yup ....thats the other problem with corporate BS ....I always ran software updates in the wee hours of the morning if possible to impact as few users as possible ......not during the lunch hour, (EST) on mondays which are typically the highest traffic times :panic:

Thats what happens though when you've got '9-5' administration...

Yep, they're probably adding more advertisement!

Bich is Here:rockwoot:

Here's my second "I made it post. I'm a little fucked off, I had a post deleted and it wasn't even that offensive, I just compared Stew to Rob. Just because Rob came out miles ahead in every aspect including machismo, loyalty and professionalism is not my fault. So I'm here, hopefully I can get some of my naked pictures back. I'm really broken up about CF, it didn't bother me so bad at first but now it does. Glad to see the names I recognize are here. Now how do I post my fucking avatar....

Now that you have a few posts, an "edit avatar" option should show up on your UserCP screen.

Hey Ed! Did you bring Z with you? :welcome:

You don't know the half of it, if you haven't been back yet. The trademarked VS side banners are now up, in a-plenty.

Yeah, it works now. Yay!

Wow, I take a weekend off and miss out on 14 pages of posts in one thread. Good to see this place getting CF'ed up in a hurry! :)

Yeah, I just went in there and OMFG!!!!! Well, no point going back there again!

NO she's not allowed...........:whistle:

I can think of one good reason to go back; to get a PayPal address fro Rob & Nancy. VS is now saying that any "premium membership" that is purchased in November will go to them. I'd rather bypass the middleman and get something directly to them. Screw the membership.

I've got the one that was used during the donation drive a while back, but it's to a TrickTape/Cycleforums email address.

Don't know if anyone read the Stickied Stewie post about the changes, but he's pushing the limits... Now he's playing on all the feelings we have for Rob and Nancy to try and drum up membership.

After listing what paid membership will get you.... "Please be aware that proceeds from Premium membership registrations for the month of November will go to help out Rob and his family.

I’ve been reading though the posts in this thread and I am very impressed with the amount of support you have shown to Rob. Rob has done an amazing job in helping to grow this community. Of course, the members played a huge part in the growth as well, making this a very unique community. ...."

Thanks, Stewie, but I think I'll help them out directly instead of by lining your pockets first... :no:

Great minds think alike? :lol:
