When Will CFC End?

[Bootstoots]

I'll be 70 years old by that time.

To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine myself managing web sites at that age.

So, I wonder who'll inherit the site someday...

I think that CFC in some form or another will run on as long as the franchise dose- that means even if TF was to retire (and Mr.Lefty not take his place) either some one else will take over, or a new website, made by some nastalgice member will take its place- will it be CFC, no, but it will be hier to CFC (very similer to the relationship of Rome, and Byzantium, as those who visit my post in the conquests forum may have figured out ;p )

Yeah, TF, gotta start researching Cure for Cancer soon then. Or do you think you'll be into "Future Techs" then?

Don't forget the obvious one: "Longevity."

 

[Bootstoots]

That's a wonder, we'll have to build it somewhere...and it'll probably take 50 years to complete

time to have curt sibling attack another website to produce one

I'm not sure when it will end, but I sure know how...due to the increased popularity of CFC more and more people will join. But the people joining this time are different. They will be the 1337, spamming up the forum and turning every intelligent discussion we have here into nothing but a pointless flame war. Trolls will be appearing every few feet, and soon the CFC as we know it will be gone...
CFC will probably still live, it just won't be the same. So in response, TF will close it down and all refugees of CFC will run over to SMFC (Sid Meyer's Fanatics Forums) which will be admined by TF again.

Maybe that's what the Mayans had in mind.

Hey Silverflame, you talking about GameFAQs or CFC?

Hasn't GameFAQs always been like that?

GameFAQs has already caught the curse. CFC is the only forum I know that has very good grammar and spelling. I rarely ever see people here use acronyms such as "r" or "cya" and there is no 1337 here.

I want it to last at least 3 years so i can be considored an oldie :santa: (closest smilie to an old man). But i hope/think it will last "A very long time time from now, a decade or two", except longer

 

[MajorGeneral2]

So long as TF and his successors don't shut it down, it will continue largely as is. With moderators, I doubt Silverflame's prediction will come to pass. I doubt it will end in the near future, (unless that radioactive monkey thing comes to pass ).
So, who will the first successor be? Hmmm...(TF, tell me where to send my cash ).

Ever see what we do to someone who posts in 1337 speak?

You de-1337 them?

In my experience, it goes like this:

1. 1337 dude posts in all his absurdity

2. 5 or 6 posters flame him for being an idiot

3. A moderator tells him not to do it again

4. He does it again, because he has apparently forgotten how to type in English.

5. 5 or 6 more posters flame him for being an idiot

6. A moderator bans him

7. He never comes back because we aren't 1337 enough for him

Exactly why CFC isn't 1337. That is why my prediction is the only way CFC will die

 

[CivCube]

CFC can...die? Like Mr. Toy Truck?

Just had to get your 2 cents on Byzantium in.


A brave soul attempts 1337 on CFC to see what really happens:

TH1S L4|\|GU4G3 SUUX OMG!!!!!!!!!! WTH ......./>>> CFC c4n d13!!!!!!!!!!????? n00b H4x0rs WiTH pRoN????!!!! OMG Th1S 1S St00p1d11!!!!!!!

I don't think I should've done that. I think my IQ might have just dropped 10 points.

I have no idea what you just said, and I feel myself becoming dumber every time I try to 'translate' it.

edit: I'm not attacking Chris but the people that usually conjure that jibberish. I actually applaud Chris for the accuracy of his example.
