CP R.I.P.

Recommended Posts

I joined CP in 2002, right after I moved back to Connecticut from Hell. There were a lot of great personalities, some of which are still there. Only 3 of the Brit trolls are still there. I think NickSlick was here for a while. I've had flame wars with folks there that I get along greatly with now. Again, you just needed a little thicker skin.

 

Slim has been posting here recently but Nickslick is banned for giving 73 a heartattack. :LOL:

I actually quite liked it at the beginning,,,think I initially joined sometime in 2003.

 

Never understood the I'm Bored shit, but each to their own...quite a few keyboard warriors there, felt like being savaged by excitable puppies.

 

I remember the political subforums being much less partisan than they are here, with some really good debate on both sides.

The political forum was just as partisan as SOCN, but it had a more even balance of lefties and righties.

The righties are pretty much down to FJ and Oak now. I was "banished" because I'm pro-universal healthcare and anti-gun. And the last gun thread got really nasty.

It's because I wasn't there as the voice of reason. ;)

Possibly. It was a doozy. It got personal.

That was the problem with the political and religion discussions there--it got personnal way to fast and sometimes it hurt. Always seemed like I was getting dog piled on by the atheists and lefties. I got old so I banished myself.

 

Most of the board was quite pleasant in an irreverent sort of way.

I was never bothered by the Mormon bashing. I don't know, maybe it's because I was a convert I could see their POV, and I knew for the most part they were ignorant. They're still at it. I think it bothers them more when they see it's not working.

CP SUCKS!

 

I remember the classless cronies invading this board way back when. Bunch of bottom feeding lowlifes.

 

 

(I'm just stirring the pot, some of them actually eat from the middle)

and I could see the humor in it as well--but it got old not being able to have a real discussion.

I agree with you on both those things and I haven't been banished yet. I'm very much a rightie personally, at least on the spectrum I recognise myself.

 

The endless islamophobia and occasional misogyny trouble me, but the gun nutters don't.

I've been there and it's no real loss.

 

It is to the small and dwindling community of people, including myself, who like to chat there.

Westboro Baptist probably has a forum, though they'd probably kick the CP crowd out at some point for being too homophobic.
