They stopped submitting statistics in November. There's definitely a lot less activity but no way visitors dropped to zero just from the exodus of all you guys.

You might be surprised. I've taken a few looks and made maybe a dozen posts there since the take-over, and it's a wasteland. Just the same 5 or 6 people (maybe as many as 12) posting over and over so from a graphical point of view, it looks remarkably like zero.

I agree. I ventured over there last week to see what was going on. I was honestly saddened to see only a few posts in GS.....it looks like a ghost town now.

Now even the bedroom forum is moving much and that's with Excessa and Zero trying to keep it alive.



Oh well....VS ruined another great forum.

Well it could easily be argued that we ruined it by leaving. There would even be a great deal of truth to it, but those of us who have been through a VS take-over before didn't need to wait until things started to really tank over there.

I've never truly been involved in a VS takeover. CF was the first forum I have ever registered on. But, I've noticed other boards I've surfed being part of it and didn't like them (layout, ads, etc) and I've heard tales of woe over takeovers of other boards before CF's takeover. I have yet to hear one true positive thing about VS takeovers. I'd just rather stay away from them.

You have a point, but how can we ruin it by leaving when we would have never left if VS hadn't taken over? Noone wants to stay in a shithole. And that's basically what they do to boards...turn them into shitholes.

Most of the CF members that posted constantly have moved to here. We kept the board alive when things got slow. Now it honestly is pretty much a wasteland.

Got fuckin love it!!!

Wow...holy flatlined Batman.

It was getting slwo over there prior to the takeover (I remember that FatbuckRTO posted that PNCE was generating the most activity...which is kinda odd for such a big motorcycle forum) but now it's zip.

Reading Excessa's posts since the take over reminds me of those National Geographic episodes where they have the the Mommy Chimp carrying around her dead infant for days.

Know you love it sweetheart but thar be maggots comin out the nostrils.
