The Revolution Begins

[Butters1919]

they need to entice them with perks like pick a color, game titles, etc.

If picking your own color is all that's keeping you from going premium, that's sad.

Bittersweet.
I like Andy and I have nothing specific against lackattack other than the fact that he didn't have time to give his all to the site. I'm actually a little saddened since I think that lackattack would like to give more attention to the site in a perfect world and he's made a really great thing here. I only hope this El Jefe is as cool of a guy. Time will tell?
Perhaps lack didn't actually sell the site but merely turned over the helm as Agentcom suggested. This would be nice as maybe lack could come back someday when he was feeling more up for the challenge. It's a romantic idea but hey, It's his baby after all.

Well....guess I'll post too. I want to address a lot of the negative posters here, but I shant.

Lack....I don't know what to say....I will be less happy every day when I play knowing you're not there on you throne watching over me, eating poutine...realy though...having been here from damn near day 1, you know my level of respect for you....and I DO still owe you my friend - perhaps you'll shoot me a note?

I wish you and your new family the best my friend.....I am ... hesitant.....about the Jeff....we shall see. Long, healthy, happy life brother

nice sig, where are those maps?

Since there has been a good 6+ years of no advertisements I feel like it'd be very lame to start having advertisements. They don't need to threaten freemiums to go premium, they need to entice them with perks like pick a color, game titles, etc.

I quite agree with you, advertisements slow the computer down, they introduce things that CC don't want, it begins to harm those who are not premium. Some people don't have money for premium, is it fair to make their game more less enjoyable more those who can't afford it? It sounds like a not-so-good idea to me. This is how I personally feel about the subject. I don't think that it will get me to upgrade so I don't have advertisements, I think it would get me to leave CC. Anyway thats my opinion.

Thanks,
IditarodGuy

Just so you know, it does cost money to bring a site to you for "free".

[WILLIAMS5232]

if there were advertisements when i first joined, i most likely would not be here to make this post.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. A few people have asked about the huge gap (five years) in my account activity here. Allow me to explain...
I started to play CC and was just getting into it. My son got the bug so I helped him get set up as well. He got hooked and soon begged me for premium membership (how could I refuse?). Then he played for a few months but, as kids do, eventually got distracted (with 20+ games on the go). I played his account so he wouldn't deadbeat all his games and soon I was hooked on the speed games and improving his ranking. Suddenly five years and 1500+ games go by. The current admins suggested I revert back to my ID for this transition as he had some personal info in game comments and plenty of seven year old fits of rage after a run of bad luck.
That is all. Feel free to let the conspiracy theories start to fly.

rofl this makes me laugh......

my wife joined the site played 1 or 2 games didnt like it, then my son wanted to join so i asked if he could use my wifes account, i was told no as this would be classed as account sharing and end up with both of them being banned from site.

thats in the past but i think out of all fairness you should tell us the name of the account you have been playing so we know who the player is behind the webmaster title....

then if this is done i would like to wish you all the best in your endeavors and a very big round of applause for appointing rds a regular speed player and chatter in live chat.

p.s.
i would like to give andy a big round of applause he has shown himself to be a true gentleman in dealing with matters fairly and unbiased, (even stepping in and reopening the blitzaholic case.) also being a regular forum user (mind you not so much in games.) i might even get a chance to smac your arse a couple of times now you going to play regular ...

as for lack not really had much chat with you or seen you online very much but respect for starting one of the most addictive online games i have came across.

Possibly the same for me, there has to be a point-break with that. To simply say "don't bother me with ads because I don't want to pay and keep the site free for me", is not a good reason to not have ads.

Congrats to all the new faces

I was just wondering we're the new officials stand on competitive clans there have been tons of broken promises from the old? Is this going to continue with the new guys promise the world to make us happy and do nothing to buy time and then in another year just repromise and still do nothing?

Just wondering

There isn't currently an exact timeframe for future events, but we'll have a good grasp in the next month or so on what's going to be done and in what order. I'm hoping to give each Department tools that they need appropriately.

yes we are - majcom, majcom, majcom

great site, definately the best of the rest. too pricey for me although i do pop in from time to time. plus running tournaments is mostly what i do these days and freemiums cant do that over there.

hopefully the new management here will put through for TO's a multiple game create and invite update.

Well damn. This is going to take some getting used to, after six years with Lack.

You did well, Lack. Cheers.

Yeah lack - it was a fantastic achievement to make this site with its gaming & community - hope you will be proud of it throughout your livelong days.
Hats off to andy, a model to community managers everywhere.

And best wishes to the new management, hope you are coming up with a strategy for action.

[muy_thaiguy]

Holy balls. Never thought I'd see the day.

Going to be weird without the head turtle being the head turtle and the banana obsessed monkey not being 2nd in Command. But good luck to the new owners and good luck to the former heads with integrating as "regulars."

[dcowboys055]

Congrats on growing the site so well lack and bowing out gracefully. I've now spent over a fourth of my life (!) as a CC member and still love playing.

Andy, you da man for shouting out the longest thread, thread. You've also done a great job on here. Clear and level leadership!

Holy crap.

I've spent 32% of my life here.
