For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I never used CB very much and haven't gone to any of the other alternatives suggested, so can I ask - seriously - what is wrong with those alternatives? What do people want that they don't provide? What do they want out of CB?
A related question, also serious, is: can they think of some way that people using a new CB would just obey the rules? Myown guess is that AB Ed just had to spend too much time clearing away abuse, profanity, impostery, trollery - all against the rules - to make CB worthwhile for the owners. Given that AB's stated mission is to be a family site, have any of the users pleading for CB's return any workable suggestions about how it might be kept clean?
I guess that's because all of Homer's pleading posts have been removed dot... but that's another example, there have been 2 or 3 homers one after the other.
But the questions I asked were, I imagine, basically the ones Crystal Guides would ask if they thought of restoring CB: what do users want it to be, and how could it be kept clean without using inordinate amounts of AB Ed's time? If they didn't come up with any answers, I can't see why they'd bother.
Hiya dotty, jno, trish and boob, hope you're all well:-)
I can't put my finger on why other forums just dont appeal to me jno, ans Gawd knows i've tried a few since the demise of CB, I think it's because I got comfortable with CB, I loved the 'cosiness' of it (Yes I'm aware I'm coming across as barking mad now!!).
And as for keeping the twonks out of CB should it come back in the future???? Don't ask me, I know how to switch my 'puter on- that's it!
It's a shame that nobody saw fit to inform users of this site that a complete category was being removed, whether temporarily or otherwise.
jno's summed it all up for now and until such time as an announcement is made we're still in the dark, although I have seen a pink box today which indicates that somebody's out there.
