Cf has been f**ked up

[LeeNetworX]

This should work nicely...

http://www.leenetworx.com/plus1.jpg

[Trip]

why I got rid of plus 1 is because some people on a forum I am still apart of don't really have much of an opinion and just follow along with the group mentality and fight each other for things like who is going to post today's happy berfday thread. It's disgusting. So I banned the use of their favorite term from here because of the sheer laziness of it. By posting a pic, you had to put some effort into it, so it's good.

Just watch where ya aim that thing! :nee:

[excessa]

it's been like that for a few days, i've noticed that they are alot more active then they were whn rez was in charge. could be stew's orders or it could be that they feel they need to boost morale. wither way that place is slowly sinking

I got all pissy talking to myself, don't think not, I'm just doing what I can to try and keep it interesting.
it sucks to have everyone just take off like that. I'm staying because I made a commitment and because I love CF, it's been my spot to hang for ever and I resist substantial changes.

The grandstands are dead as hell, NSR is carrying the site, and the bedroom is really really slow. so, yeah, it's a bummer for me.

It's painful going there now. I don't even bother browsing. Quick click on active topics to confirm they are the same old active topics and then move on.

Be nice if we had some the CF subforums over here though. Don't really wanna talk cars in off-topic.

Talk away... that's what off topic is for. As the need arises, subforums can be added (but there's so many people that complain when there's too MANY subforums, I know he won't add them till there's a need to). :twfix:

[Dragonpaco]

car, workout, gun and tv/movie would be the main offtopics that i'd want to see

I add subforums as I see they are needed, if we have enough threads about the same topic I will branch it. You can always pm me or post in site suggestions subforum about changes you would like to see added to the site.

[excessa]

I was a member on SBN for about a year before the mass exit of that god forsaken place, and moved to cf. Things slowly eased up, and cf was home, while sbn was an afterthought.

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.

[2up]

Why? I just don't get it. Rebecca, you went guns blazing for Moira, and then kept after her in thread after thread. I hate to say it but it didn't turn ugly until you made it turn ugly. :shrug: And people weren't talking shit about you behind your back, they were speaking knowing full well you could see what they posted. And it was only based on YOUR actions, not some made-up accusation. I hope someday you can see that.

I had a new thread started up on just that issue... which forum rules were broken? I decided to send it as a PM instead, but haven't heard back yet.

Yup, the option is there in the user setting to turn it off. It's an example of where the "user experience" is going though.

Also, I thought it kind of funny that Stew locked Moira's "Ask the customer" thread yesterday. No flaming going on, just a couple of more posts, but apparently he didn't like them. What a control freak.

He locked it after I posted my opinion and told someone to do the research and come up with his own conclusion. The specific question was what I meant about degradation in the user experience. My answer was:

I think that can only be explained to someone who has been under VS moderation, which means it wouldn't need explanation at all. Go to Verticalscope's web site. Check out the forums that they have under their control. Do web searches on the terms "motorcycle.com" and "verticalscope". Form your own opinions from that.

... to which Stewie replied:

haha, ya form your "own opinions" after reading about it...

Or how about form your own opinion from seeing it first hand. Seeing that people in this day and age only focus on the negative side of things. How often in this day do you hear about the kid who helped an old lady across the street. All you will hear about is how she got mugged by some degenerate when she got there.

So ya... go look it up and form your opinions form other peoples opinions.

This jibber jabber has been going on far too long.

Rez was likely told that he had to keep it quiet, until after the purchase was complete. It has become SOP for VS these days, because the sort of mass exodus of prolific posters isn't unique to CF, post acquisition. VS can't have people deleting all their old material, which looks good to potential advertisers, killing their revenue stream.

Took 'em long enough then. Maybe I'll find that I've been blocked too, once I get back to work tomorrow. Then again I have a few thousand static IPs at my disposal :evil:

I will say though, that's a sneaky trick if they want to block people from posting, but maintain their listed number of users.

It gives me a smug sense of satisfaction that we left, and it died. It just shows without a doubt that the people are what made the community. I hope VS loses money on that deal. :whistle:

Folks, we have to be fair about this. The mods over there aren't power tripping or anything. They see leaving the forum as abandoning Rob and Nancy. Most have been with CF since the beginning and it's home. I doubt that any of them have been through a VS take-over before, so they have no frame of reference for it.

Odds are that the sale is contingent upon the mods sticking around for a while.

[Dragonpaco]

then why are they bitching out any member that speaks less than great about the new changes, or stew, or VS

[Papa_Complex]

then why are they bitching out any member that speaks less than great about the new changes, or stew, or VS

Because they think that they are actually standing up for Cycle Forums, which they still see as being Rob and Nancy.

[Dragonpaco]

if it were backing up rob and nancy then i would be over there defending the forum with them, but it has been clear since the upgrade that CF is not a mom and pop operation anymore. what they are doing is just making enemies out of the people that made that place great

You're asking people to behave rationally in an emotional situation. That doesn't happen.

PC Speaks the truth.. We all have differring opinions of the VS takeover.

I applaud Rob for doing what he did. I would have done it much sooner than he so his dedication to his business and the community is extraordinary.

CF has been slowing down for some time now, and VS I believe was the last nail in the coffin for that community.

I'm just glad that a lot of the posters are now over here so we can all still get together and talk shit.

And dragonpaco, I'm glad I'm not modding any more. You all are a pain in the ass. :laughing:

I had been away from CF for a while, and had just come back right before the "takeover". I have been through a VS takeover with a few other boards, and watched those boards go to hell in a handbasket... I doubt I will ever go back to CF, but I do hope that Rob and family are able to take care of the situation they are in.

I don't even recoginze that place anymore... sad...

I agree; it really seemed to die off after the server issues they had about a year ago (Fall '07). I think it was down for nearly a week, and once it came back up, it seemed like a bunch of people never found their way back. :shrug:

I had left because of some people on the board. Everytime I would post/reply, they would try and start shit with me over nothing...... got tired of it. I spoke with Rez about it and pretty much told him I wouldn't be back. He agree'd to keep my profile active incase I decided to venture back in. So some time went by, I bought a new bike, got busy riding, and then popped in one day. There was a large number of people, with whom I used to speak, already gone... I used to use that place for lots of knowledge and entertainment... seems as if both headed out like a fetus...
