I see this post as an oversimplified version of why CC has been in decline. So is Facebook and television viewing all across many channels and options in the USA. There are other options for people to find entertainment. There are other websites that offer Risk. To blame mods is like blaming the Administrator: very myopic.

Preferences and reality changes; see the decline of Peloton stocks. Yes, I know that the COVID has had a huge impact on Peloton sales. Things change. It is up to management to find more customers in an ever changing online and media landscape.

I've just had interactions with the mods and have cancelled my subscription as a result. That's just one case so obviously the issues you point will be factors too but I kept it for years despite using other games. But I can't think of anyone who works a busy schedule and has money to pay for subscriptions that can be bothered with the behaviour on the site and the mods' attitude. That means it's always going to be at risk of decline as adults move on.

A big reason I stay and enjoy the site is due to my membership in a good Clan with good guys.

You know forum mods can't do anything about game chat abuse, right? You have to report it in C&A section. If it's a one off thing, they let it slide, (unless it's really bad) but if a player is being systematically abusive across several games, that's grounds for him to get in trouble. You just look at his other recent games, see if he's been abusive there too and post the game numbers up.

You can't expect the mods to see what goes on in every game, it's up to members to report bad behaviour, especially systematic bad behaviour that makes the site less fun.

Justplay4fun's suggestion is a good one too. Join a clan and you'll have a bunch of pretty awesome people to play with. I've been in one for close to 9 years. Only reason I am still here, honestly. It's not that I dislike the site, but I do have a short attention span. :lol: Being in a clan brings me back whenever I leave for a while.

Lack sure makes it seem here that he wants to improve the site and attract more people but actions speak louder than words I guess.


The developer is Canadian? I never knew. Oh Canada. :)

The original developer, lackattack, was Canadian.

The second owner was a Canadian citizen but not resident in Canada.

The third owner is American.

So you mean "fix the dice so I win more games"...RIGHT? What did I miss? A silly algorithm that prevents you from winning? If you do not understand that luck is part of the game (drop, dice, cards, order of who goes first, second, etc., and more) then you missed a KEY point about this game. If luck is not acceptable to you, then go play chess or checkers. Do you understand that the study of Probability and Statistics started to better improve likelihood of winning games of CHANCE...?

So, you want the Dice that allows you MORE WINS? Then go buy the Casino. Or buy the LOADED dice.

To answer your my girl friend is a pop star. So I twitted it on her account. My uncle is politico. The governor of a state that will remain unnamed and a cousin named Kirsten who is a kinda famous actress.

I think that is why we got an extra 300 players. I do wish I knew a famous “football” player like Messi or Ranaldo or any Manchester City or Liverpool player but I don’t.

To answer WHAT?

My dice comments refer to Murphalot, so I am confused as to what you mean or intended, tfh.

Does anyone know whether our very own CC porn queen has an onlyfans? If it is under 25USD I would be interested in downloading a few videos and pics for old times sake.

Who could ever have predicted how much and indeed why that was soooooooooo opposite to what happened with the numbers and date...you Nostradamus you ;)


4,627 or thereabouts is the lowest it seems to have fallen before it started going back up....4,933 now

lol no idea when that was posted, but hard to predict a global pandemic for sure. Certainly delayed the decline, but looks like we are ballpark pre pandemic level now (and falling)

4,899 ... In between this and the last post the number was dropping rapidly,I think it may have got down to close to 4,850...but has now bounced back equally as rapidly ... Is there a new variant out there ? :sick:
