Taz I think I'm done too. I've poked a few people with sticks and had the giggles more in one day than I've had in awhile. I'm out.

Here's what went down: The day after the CF "server upgrade" I got on there, and posted on something in GS. Apparently it auto-subscribed me to replies, because 5 minutes later, I got an email saying there was a reply on the thread. I looked at the email and realized the email address was admin@verticalscope.com. I was livid. As many others have stated, many of us have been on other great riding forums that have been taken over by VS, so we KNOW the line of B.S. they feed the members (and staff) and we know what's over the horizon. So I posted a rant about it here. All I said was "Another one bites the dust.... CF has been bought by Vertical Scope." That's it. No ulterior motive, no grand agenda, no nothin'. That was literally it. Others who read that post had ALSO seen their beloved forums fall to the great and mighty VS, so they 1.) confirmed it was true, and then 2.) got the word out, not as a call to abandon ship, but as a warning "hey, this board will be teh suck pretty soon...." And that, in a nutshell, is it. The whole fuckin' truth. |

I would be remiss if I didn't point out that VS derives REVENUE from WEBSITE HITS. All of the talk/referencing "Ms. Schizophrenia" et. al. drives hits on their website as "we" check her latest rant.
Take the que from the great movie line uttered by Cedric Hardwicke (with artistic license): Quote:

Guess we know where alot of their revenue is coming from.
http://www.cycleforums.com/forums/se...hid=4047&pp=25 Even speaking as one who posts quite a bit, working on computers all day, that girl needs to step away from the computer. I can't believe some of the comments I just read in some threads over there. Especially some of those coming from mods. Shame. |

Nothing there...must have moved it. Someone had the audacity to say this site was dead! Trying to discourage people from coming over, I guess.

I got the word from SVRogue first, then had a PM later...I got it on my cell phone at work. It's all a conspiracy, I tell you, a conspiracy!!!
Aside from that, it's none of her damned business who told who. I think she's just hanging in there to keep that ever-so-important mod status... sucks to be a mod who has nothing to moderate. No offence to existing mods, as this doesn't apply to you. Girl has some issues...I've honestly never cared for her myself.
