You have traveled to the future. I suggest you return to the past.

Well, first things I'd check out if I hadn't been here for a few years are Trench & Polymorphic.
Unless you were a huge speed-freak you shouldn't be too disappointed. A lot to get used to, and a lot to have subjective opinions about. But besides from freestyle-speed games, and to a lesser degree escalating, I can't see many objective arguments for how the site has declined.

first... ron just got out of rehab, and you come at him with "speed-freak"?!! "speed-freak"?!! really?!! wow... secondly, i guess that the 12K members that have left the site over the past few years is not a clear cut sign of the site's decline, right?! keep your head in the sand, nothing to see here, move along...-Jésus noir

ronc8649, if my wording offended you, you have my sincere apology. Obviously i know nothing about your personal life. My choice of wording referred to an enthusiast of speed-games.

Owen: Your logic isn't necessarily correct. I can bet you that if no change was ever made to CC, the membership would not remain constant, but rise or fall pretty much every day. People stop playing games that no changes are made to, simply because the world changes, newer games, fresher trends etc come into being.
But we could argue this all day. I'd be more interested in a list of changes you deem have damaged CC. I'm sure there are negative changes, I just haven't really noticed many

This is not the CC you are looking for.

Welcome to the new CC ronc! You should feel right at home..

RONC DO NOT DRINK THE COOL AID, ARAMA86N HAS BACKWASHED INTO IT. Though if you like the taste of swedish horsemeat meat balls.....

but, we aren't talking a fluctuation... we are talking a loss of over HALF of the site!!! 22K to below 8K (we are back to 10K now!)... put your head in the sand, keep believing this is just a normal fluctuation... it isn't... and former ownership did plenty to run people off... ronc knows, he was on the hit list for a loooooong time...-Jésus noir

Nobody knows me so my opinion is likely shit but I will spew it none the less...

I used to purchase premium on a regular basis. Even if I took a year break from the site, I would return to buy premium just to support the site and those who were still here. Premium is a laughable joke for me now looking at what this community has boiled down to.

By comparison of what I recall, it's a ghost-town around here - from games to chat - I honestly came here for the people in the community.

I have one game going now, but as soon as I win that, you can bet I won't be back for some time again. The Conquer Club I recall has gone missing, and that honestly makes me a little sad.

i remember the good ol' days. the fun times i had on here. then i also remember being hunted like a wicked little tight bodied red head with perky tits and beautiful pussy lips by a bunch of guys waiting for her to get drunk so they could all have their way with her that evening. that is at least how i compare my time with the shit bag mods that used to be on here. shit, they prolly still are on here.

f*ck em if they are.

what in the shit happened here? this website is worth 156,000 i guess. who heads this shit bag up anymore?

if these fucktards want to sell. have them pm me. owenshooter will run it for me. within 12 months, this pile of shit will get back to 18,000 members. then maybe grow to 30,000.

offers on the table. i prolly still wont waste my time here. i just dont have much of it anymore. between work and chasing redheads, i am all jammed up.

I miss you pal. I just came back a couple of weeks ago after a 2 year lay off. The Trouts are dead and the Bandits are kind of there. I hope all is well with you.

I vaguely recall my early years here, but I do recall some kind of owen--distinct from the black jesus owen.

It has been such a sad state of affairs to see a fellow cyber entity cast himself in the arena of megalomania. owenshooter, I beseech you: come back to us.

It is almost like the original owenshooter played John the Baptist to the black jesus he/she has become. Am just struggling to work out who would play Salome to flesh out the "biblical" analogy further.

as much as all of you hate to admit it. owen has always been amusing on this site. granted, he is pretty vocal on most things. and occasionally back in the day would cry wolf on some topics. but i always looked at it like he was showing the mods the hypocrisy of their ways.

i miss flame wars a lot. it was always an enjoyable read, and such a site as this should have shit talking somewhere.

i miss the non lag of this site. i have played a few games and it is awful. how do you play freestyle anymore?

is big whiskey still on here?

freestyle doesn't exist as you know it... they changed the rules and ran the freestyle players off... if you look around, there isn't much of what you remember around here... increased game options, new crap maps (that map medal has ruined the foundry in my opinion.. blitz proved that...), clan wars becoming their own odd conundrum of map/setting specialist choosing the settings that will all but guarantee a victory, forums are all but dead (save the 20 or so regular posters.. and i don't count the clan and foundry threads, you know what i mean, the community threads)... anyway.. they are making changes to the site to try and drive the numbers back up to where they were and beyond (and from what i've heard on the down low a lot of it is stuff that was suggested years ago...)... so, i have hope... but, i really fear that the community we all knew and loved will never return.. so many have left or been banned or grew tired of the oppression in the forums, the lack punishment on actual GAME CHEATING (to this day, forum offenders receive harsher penalties than game cheats)... you missed some scandals too... mods abusing their power, including one using it to climb to conqueror... then receiving a slap on the wrist instead of the ol' wicked heave ho'... sigh... i'm old, this tires me, i need to take a nap...-Jésus noir

The lag is so bad that i just lost a game because of it. The server times out and I canceled, attempted another attack, and bam, I've suddenly lost all my pieces and my reinforcement, the turn is over. If i were paying I'd be really pissed. Is it better for premium? I got tired of playing a couple of years ago but everything was working correctly.

uncle death. my main man!!! no it is the same if you pay or if you dont.

i bought the $5 dollar special for a month cuz i will prolly get sick of it like i always do.

A lot of new features have been added and the old servers couldn't handle it.

New servers are coming Sunday. Next week performance should be up by a lot.

I've hardly experience any lag, and my connection is okay. Maybe the lag problem is a subjective problem, ehh? EHHH???
