I checked out cf last night. It made me giggle, because when it all happened, the 'loyalists' were saying we werent needed for the community to survive

Oh god yea.... that place had been nothing but ads for 6 months, or longer. Especially the second post ad, and the top/side ads.

I dont go over there anymore, its too crazy, and big. If VS pisses people off, its gonna take a lot more than ads to clear all those freakin members out.

I get those once in a while. I was at SBN for years. The day Rez started CF was the last time I ever visited that shitwreck...

Same here.
The Rez/Fred break was pretty much the end of me and SB.N as well.

Fairly sure that it happened a while back.

Well Fred did make that an easy choice, as at the time he'd shut SBN down.....

I too left SBN after fred and rez split. I have been lurking in the NY forum over there recently, seems they reset my post count to zero too. I though tthey were already owned by VS. I didnt notice much difference today after the changes in the ads.

If anyone wonders if a certain forum is a VS property, just look here:
