CF Roll Call

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

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!

Glad to see even more CF faces over here.

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.

Well, in an internet, I know who you are sort of way...

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...

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