Overall, I do like CC. Will be here 3 years in January.

There are aspects I don't like, but most of those relate to the forums. So when I get annoyed with the site, I stay away from the forums.

Yeah. I really do. Through all the up "www.random.org" times and down "www.random.org" times, through all the "uhh... what's okay on this message board and can someone tell me how to get my toonie (2 dollar Canaucklehead coin) back from the pop machine" moments, I think lack has made a great thing.

Yeah. Couple of growing pains. But the site is young... DAMN young people.

Deal.

See ya next with canons pointed at each other.

(I hope I win)

Ladd.

Elf Edit: to the poster below... and if so is that a BAD thing?!?!

That said, playing every day for over 2 years (my few misses were only narrow misses), often with over 40, sometimes over 100 games and multiple forum debates is just getting to be too much.... and well, yes, even with a the many wonderful changes, just a bit "old".

I started because it was something I could do while holding my then fussy infant when I ran out of books to read. Now, my son is about to turn 3 and is definitely no longer content to simply sit in my arms (LOL) ... most of the time anyway (lol).

I cannot afford to renew my premium, but in truth, am ready to do other things for a while anyway. I have been playing in the morning, sometimes during naptime and usually at night. Now I just need to be doing other things. I am sure I will "pop" back in again here and there (still have games to finish, etc.)

So, am I going to stay? Probably not. Is there anything CC could have done to keep me longer? Also, probably not. In fact, I am not actually leaving, just cutting way back. (WAY back .. lol).

As for the "jerks" that I hear contantly dominate CC -- I cannot remember my game total, but it is pretty safe to say that over 2/3 of that total would be the number of people I have played. Even at half, I have, over the years, played a good many people of "all stripes". Inevitably, those who complain the most about "jerks" have either played very few games and probably in freestyle, to boot! OR are themselves the real problem. If you expect everyone else to follow "your rules" (as opposed to the stuff that is written down) OR decide that you have every right to break society rules (manners) and %$#% to anyone who disagrees ... well, you get what you give. That is true in life and it is true in CC.

I do have a foe list, but out of the thousands I have played, I have only met a handful of real and true jerks. Of those 2-3 were "forum foes" -- people who's nastiness in the forums I disliked, 2-3 were from games. ALL except 2 I put solely for having too long sigs (took me 5 minutes to see any thread where they posted) have been busted since.

are you a stay at home dad?
