Is the Ring Gauge feature of CS gone? I remember being able to bump up other peoples RG for cool bombs/contests, etc.

One difference is that the "owners" of this site don't lie to the members.

Remember kids: never trust a fart ... and never trust pnoon with regards to a fart.

Also, the whole Dave thing and Emporer Capu..... is the Asholeo things that go on there. They are still growing and people are still joining, but that is neither here nor there.

As for the Drama. Everyone (Other than Dave) that I know came here from CS. So where is the difference, other than there are no certified vendor advertisements (these by the way got me into the whole cc world directly, after talking with some people that I met thru CS. We all know no one gives up their sources to strangers. If a couple people (mods) didn't tell me the advertisements were legit It would have taken me forever to make connections to those sites.
Oh yeah, the pretty colors are here.

I Love CA, don't get me wrong, as I love ICC, & ya know puff is fun to run around in also. It reminds me of when I was more of a noob than I am now.

Can you feel the love?

fighting the battle: If tobacco is a drug and cuban cigars are illegal am I partaking in Illegal Drugs?

I can tell you where the difference is. This board has "aged, well seasoned members". We all know each other, some personally, some not, but we all respect each other. It's not a group of wild animals who rant and rave over member count or advertisement endorsements. I haven't seen a fraction of the pile ons, or drama wars that I used to see on CS. Now the Team of 11 just terminates it before it develops. High five guys for all the work you do.

That's my

on the difference.

Another is that the "owners" of this site don't delete posts, close threads and ban members simply because they post something they don't like about the site.

So are you saying the moderators of the old CS was not doing their job properly? Got you.

No, actually at the end of my stay there I was starting not to care anymore. Our decisions on how to run things were being "overruled".

The differences might be subtle at first. I think it's the general attitude and demeanor of this site that has such a positive vibe with the members best-interests in mind.

and by that ^^^ I mean that there's not some guy only tryign to lookout for himself by herding a bunch of members together so that he can go use that "high member count" to go to companies and say "LOOK, LOOK, advertise here, i have alot of traffic"...

...That's why we don't even have advertisements here, We're trying to break away form the money-making and focus more on building relationships/friendships in a community full of true enthusiasts.... who like gurkhas

PS - in regard to what Pnoon wrote in post 69 ^^^^

You are absolutely right, he (Jcap) tried to play "gestapo" and hush up anything that was negatively opinioned towards his site/ideas.... that's crappy in my opinion

Right about now this thread could use some Da Klugs wisdom.

Very true.....if it was JC, there would be a post or two missing from this thread.

wow, really Tom? that's so bush league...

i'll tell you the main difference, in my mind, between the two forums. the discourse is more intelligent over here. here, there are dozens inmates who i can identify with and whose opinionions i respect and who create thoughtful posts. posts, that typically inspire some really good dialogue. over there, it's much more... basic, for lack of a better term. nowhere near as though-provoking as the asylum (in most cases... there was that little diddy about shaving one's ass...). every now and then i'll go over there and lurk, read a few things and reaffirm my decision that this is the place to be. hey, look - i can actually type PUFF and not get ****!

and i don't even want to know what the casino cash is all about...
