Default Moving On

Maybe this counts as spam, but this site is now barely on life support. No new members have been given permission to post since the Great Spam Flood that occurred many months ago. The 'User CP' link does not work. You can still edit your account by taking a quick link, but if you change your e-mail address then your account becomes useless. The owner has abandoned the site, is too busy to maintain it, or is dead.

Forums like the Cafe and Tech that rely upon noobs have, of course, wilted. Other forums contain virtually nothing but old spam threads. Forums that still have activity are only being kept alive by long term members who are clinging to site, and even those members are slowly dwindling. In short this place will soon be dead.

Anyway a bunch of us in the GT forum have decided to move to the forum at http://www.thecyclepeople.com/forum/index.php It looks like a better choice than those over-moderated forums like RBR and BF. And the owner seems willing to add forums or features that the members request. Check it out.

Here here Bro. I've been a member there for a few months. It's only a new site... but it has software similar to here... and some added features. The more people that join there (TCP) from here... the better it will be. And they allow new members of course. In fact... some have joined at TCP complaining that they have been forced to lurk on CF because they haven't been given posting privileges here.

It will be sad to see the demise of this site if new members are continually prevented from joining... but it doesn't seem like the owner has any interest in communicating with the membership.

Note - BTW I have no connection or interest in the TCP forum site... other than wanting as many CFers to join as possible.

How many months would it take me to get a bad reputation in a new forum?
I already have one established here.

C: You should probably think about taking some creative writing classes since you sort of sound sarcastic. I know you are trying to convey a serious tone so it must be a mistake in sentence structure.

Yeah... The guys being afraid of you is obviously 180 degree sarcasm... but that means following on that you aren't a ladies' man. Since C knows you pretty well... are you a mans' man?...

Well, at least you didn't get on me about the typo regarding "your" when it should have been "you're."

Ok, let me clarify here as that apparently did not come across as I intended.

J is of course a ladies man. Just ask all of those snow bunnies following him around on the slopes.

And, he can give a good thumping when provoked. I was simply assigning more class to him than he would apparently like as he seems to so badly long for the reputation of beating people up at Waffle Houses for no apparent reason . . . in reality, he has the very complicated formula down to a perfected science of % of bad boy versus % of gentleman. And, he's never ungentlemanly to the ladies, which is why he in fact is the ladies man that he is . . .

Is that better j? The bill's in the mail btw.
