You'd find that difficult as it's been deleted, or it should have been by personal request. So let me clarify.

However it is true I have decided to move on to pastures new. Leaving the schoolyard for reasons a lot more complicated than just CFCOTwiki, that was the straw that broke the camels back of disillusionment with CFC that had been building for a while.

For these reasons

1) losing interest generally, too many people I know don't appear to be around any more, probably left. And the general discussion seems to be less interesting.
2) Too much like being back at school, gangs, cliques(you know the kids you knew at school that thought they were popular, but in a strange sort of way you always knew they'd end up working at Burger King because they were in fact worthless) Bullies etc, there is an increasing vogue for gangbanging which has been noted by several other posters too.
3) Rule system way to tight, I've been banned pretty much for 3 months solid, and I for the life of me - apart from the last one where I was leaving anyway and so couldn't of gave a monkeys for rules - have no idea why, nor can I fathom the rules system, which makes no sense to me whatsoever. Thus if you don't like the system: leave: seems to be the best option.

Anyway it's been a lot of fun, and with the exception of some wankers who shall remain nameless, everyone has been great and a lot of interesting conversation was had, no regrets, well worth it. Cionara.

EDIT:Gogf's proposal is now the accepted norm. Quote: "..all relevant facts are permissible on a user's page. The discussion page can be used to determine whether a fact is relevant or not. If a fact's veracity is called into question, we can institute a system like the one Wikipedia employs. If users want to have a personal profile that others are not allowed to edit, then they can user their User:username page."

I'd like to remind all people who use CFCwiki that they have no right to post anything that you personally find insulting inflammatory or infringes on your personal privacy, ie the example given with Strider. So if you want them to remove anything ask a mod at wiki and they will make them. The mods have given themselves rights they do not possess, do not buy into their nonsense, you have the right to edit anything out of your personal profile you want, on the slightest of whims, and there is damn all they can do about it except kick you off.

Moderator Action: None of this gives anyone any sort of 'free pass' to ignore the forum rules.

Hee-hee, I don't agree with any of that.

Bye Sidhe, and CivGeneral too.

OT only strengthens your mind and your sanity!! Really, seriously, I'll never get why people get scared away from the opinions of other people. Just make up your mind after rational deliberation and then stnad behind your point and laugh at all the silly people who never get anything. Ah well, see you round.

I'd like to think I'll be missed in the Ask a Girl thread though I'm glad I'm not the only staff over there.

See y'all in a couple weeks.

Sorry to hear LucyDuke. We missed you in the Ask a Thread, you and GT actually so much so that without your presence the whole thing bunked!

...um, as for me... I'm going to an interview, so I won't be back for a day...

Um, this is completely false, and you will notice that the old Sidhe page is alive and kicking at the new location of the Wiki .

However, it is Sidhe's right to stop posting at CFC if that's what he wants. I wish him the best in his future endeavors and hope he doesn't leave with any hard feelings .

Bye Sidhe! May the healing begin!

I do hope you'll come back though, personalities such as yours are an absolute delight to have around.

Well you best remove it then or I'll contact wiki staff again, this time I doubt they'll be very happy, and I am absolutely correct, anyone can complain to wiki saying they find x offensive and they will remove it, the reson I know this is because I know several people who have done it.

I expect to see it gone within the next week or again I'll have to take up the case with them. This is why mods should never appoint themselves, you end up with idiots who have no consideration whatsoever for other people or there feelings.

Ctharsis, you wait till you get banned for three months solid for slights so minor that it's actually more offensive to take offence than to actually ignore it, you may feel differently then.

Thanks to anyone who posted something pleasant anyway .

I am quite serious, since I am no longer a memeber of CFC, why the hell am I still a member of your crap shoot? Are you mental?

Like I said Fifty, internet nobodies as worthless as you and your sycophantic idiot cronies are easy to forget, there is no healing because that would imply I cared about you or your opinions enough. Again you'll be a distant memory in weeks, provided of course you remove me from your, manual of we can say whatever we like about anyone regardless, idiot boards.

[PrinceOfLeigh]

I've no idea what either of you are talking about

Why do you care what 'internet nobodies' who you consider to be 'worthless' and/or 'sycophantic idiot cronies' say about you?

I'd hate to see how you would deal with any disputes or problems in the real world.

Ctharsis, you wait till you get banned for three months solid for slights so minor that it's actually more offensive to take offence than to actually ignore it, you may feel differently then.

I doubt they were 'so minor' if you got banned for 3 months.

I am quite serious, since I am no longer a memeber of CFC, why the hell am I still a member of your crap shoot? Are you mental?

If you think it's so stupid, why would you even give a damn?

Like I said Fifty, internet nobodies as worthless as you and your sycophantic idiot cronies are easy to forget, there is no healing because that would imply I cared about you or your opinions enough.

I have seen numerous times where you have cared about what random internet nobodies have said about you.

Again you'll be a distant memory in weeks, provided of course you remove me from your, manual of we can say whatever we like about anyone regardless, idiot boards.

If you simply forget about it then you won't have a problem.

Anyway, your post will more than likely have the opposite effect intended. You claim that you don't care but simply by posting what you have proves otherwise. Also, if you hate this place so much why do you keep coming back?

Or, equally as important, what the **** has it got to do with you?

Because they have just told me they will reinstate a page which from it's inclusion was used to basically print opinion lies/libel, the fact that anyone with some petty grudge can write anything they like about me, despite no longer being a part of the community is annoying, I don't want to be subject to the whims of idiots opinions; I don't think it is too much to ask that it be removed because such an article will obviously just be used to print rubbish, more so now. Their personal opinions about the situation are irrelevant that's kinda the point.

You really don't know enough about it to comment. So don't

I'd hate to see how you would deal with any disputes or problems in the real world.

By using any legal means at my disposal just as I have done here. Admittedly I did have alot of fun insulting them as well, but that's just a perk of the situation

I doubt they were 'so minor' if you got banned for 3 months.

On and off they were serial bans for minor offences. Ie saying your full of s*** ie self editing in the s, using the word ass, then asshattery. Got me a 3 week ban, none of these terms were used as flames I was talking about republicans and joking with another member about him being full of it. So again since you don't know why I feel the rules are OTT, I'd stay out of it.

If you think it's so stupid, why would you even give a damn?

The idea is fine the people running it are stupid, and they don't have a clue about wiki policy as well.

I have seen numerous times where you have cared about what random internet nobodies have said about you.

When people are insulting sure I care, but like I say I have a temper, it's transient, and internet nobodies don't have a lasting effect on me.

If you simply forget about it then you won't have a problem.

I only posted because I don't want my article in the wiki,that's all, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

Anyway, your post will more than likely have the opposite effect intended. You claim that you don't care but simply by posting what you have proves otherwise. Also, if you hate this place so much why do you keep coming back?

I doubt it wiki staff will make them remove it just like they did last time. If they want to play childish games that's up to them, however there are terms of use rules they cannot just walk all over with their nonsense policies. It is true wiki should be able to print the truth, but offensive opinion and libel is not the truth.

Please I'd stay out of it, you have no idea what is going on.
