Its been about a week and CF is pretty much almost an afterthought already. I've seen what happens to VS boards, and I dont feel like sticking around when I know whats coming. Sure it sucks that 6 years and 14k+ posts are pretty much gone, but really, none of it was that important anyway.
There will be more and more leaving when they see the way things are run around Verticalscope, and hopefully most of them will show up here.
I dont know why excessa wants to believe nothing has changed so badly. Posts dissapear, get edited, forums get extremely slow (cf is already starting to).
I feel horrible for rez. I feel less horrible for the rest are sticking around to defend VS's lies.

I'm still working my way through this thread. lol
I guess I don't see CF as being so different looking. it's not charging for memebrships and everything else people said would happen.
I never saw moderating a forum to be any kind of authority thing, it's not glamorous. I've never even really "moderated" I just hung around because there were people I liked there.
I felt like I was helping out, and it pained me to see the board I've been hanging out on die.
I blamed it on the person I saw it as coming from, and was pretty open about how I felt. I didn't see Neebs bulletin, I didn't see a lot of the invites going around and didn't realize how widespread everyone's distaste for VS was. This is my first encounter with them. To me, at first what I had was a copy of a PM from Azoom, and a mass exodus. My math skills were employed and I reacted to what I saw as happening.
I'm surprised it got turned into something so ugly, and I'm sorry to see some people that I genuinely like think so little of me. Of course that hurts, that's normal. I've spent years enjoying some of your company, never realizing what you thought of me. Who wouldn't feel foolish and hurt?
I'm not perfect, and none of you are either, but I won't enjoy your imperfections as much as you will enjoy mine. I'll let you get back to that in private where it won't hurt my feelings.
I've developed some strong friendships on CF and I'll always have a soft spot for that forum.
been an enlightening read. you all take care. |
