But, it is to be expected that when you have a large influx of new users...that some of them are going to be retards. It's basically a numbers game. We could call it the Special person ratio?

I just wish people would stop painting that entire subforum as a bunch of mouth-breathing idiots. Sure, there are some. But it is also the most active subforum on CCS, so of course the total number is going to be higher...mostly because of scale. Also, the retards seem to be the most vocal / have the tendency to start most pointless / dipshit / poorly thought out / meatball threads.

A lot of really good posters came over here when the CBMB closed and I wish some would stop lumping them all together into one pile of shit.

I personally would like to see a funded study of your hypothesis.

My guess is the "tard to tolerable" ratio is more balanced than we should expect (+/- retards that hit cancel instead of post). Random shit flinging would have to be "accounted" for of course, and then some sort of comparison to a similar group...hmmm.

Like if the Vienna Girls Choir lets a bunch of boys in 'cause the Boys Choir got Closed, for example. (not saying it was a conspiracy)

I'll say this and I will be done with it. I know you are mostly kidding, but all of the whining from "native CCS" members has gotten pretty old. Note: I was here well before the mass migration, so in some way I could be considered a "native CCS" member.

I am not going to whine about the whiners, because that pretty much puts me on equal footing with them. But, it is to be expected that when you have a large influx of new users...that some of them are going to be retards. It's basically a numbers game. We could call it the Special person ratio?

Though I believe Scoot was just joking around, I do completely agree w/ your sentiment.

There's a few I would like to ban, and that includes those who came from CBMB and a few who post here...But in reality besides a few non-Bear forum posters there are only two CCS members that make it vocal often in criticizing CBMB posters ALL the time. I think you know which two I'm talking about.

But yes, I understand your sentiment and pretty much agree with it. And as my joke stated, I wanted to ban every poster who posted in the Bears forum, that would include native CCS members and CBMB lol. We had a few idiots before the influx happened too. So I know the ratio is still the same basically, but with more people comes more problems. I knew that was going to happen when the influx occurred.

Yep, I hear ya. Figured you were (mostly) joking around...so my comments were more generalizations at some of the "Bears forum haters", more than you specifically. Trust me, many of the people who are annoying people here, have been annoying me for years. As far as "CCS native posters" go...I've actually grow to appreciate one of the two I think you are talking about. And a few others have entered into that category as we've moved along.

Not naming any names of course :)

Finish restoring all of the family 8mm/s8/d8 videos, so I can sell my gear to one of these video buffs that want good equipment, and I can have my white room again. That will take me about a year in freetime, and has been set for my New Year resolution since this summer.

Have I mentioned how much I like this guy as a poster?

Well said sir :clap:
