CC is declining again!

[iAmCaffeine]

There need to be more possibilities as a free player, such as creating private games for friends to join and sending invites. Back in the day, creating private games was a great advantage because official clan games and such weren't possible. Now they are though, so private games aren't that big a deal. The people that use them most are those who want to play with friends. If you give the free players something a little more, then they'd be more inclined to spend money to get extra benefits in addition. From what I've seen of reviews and feedback, many people think there is very little available to the free player.

- There are so many people out there that just don't know CC exists, So many retired people that know and have played Risk growing up but just have no idea this site exists. Maybe it's time BW creates a commercial on TV and or radio stations? How about more of Us getting the t-shirts with CC logo? If all dedicated existing members buy a CC T-shirt, maybe the money from that goes into better advertisement ? I'll start now and buy one! Can not ever let CC fall, I'll help any way I can, Im way too attached to all my close friends and fun I have here.

- Very sincere

Suddenly, the silence became more oppressive. An SS officer had come in and, with him, the smell of the Angel of Death. We stared at his fleshy lips. He harangued us from the center of the barrack: “You are in a concentration camp. In Auschwitz.” A pause. He was observing the effect his words had produced. His face remains in my memory to this day. A tall man, in his thirties, crime written all over his forehead and his gaze. He looked at us as one would a pack of leprous dogs clinging to life

whoa, Nellie!!! and what, exactly makes you think we're friends, sym. I don't know the guy from Adam. in fact, we have nothing in common, as far as I can tell. while he calls for your end, I don't. unless it were to benefit me in some tangible way. a nice piece of cake, for example. or, a new coconut scented air freshener for my auto, perhaps...

[riskllama]

sym, could you please derail a less important thread than this one? thx, dude. now, let's get back on topic...

[Symmetry]

Is the cake or death thing still something you're running with in spite of the mods decision that it was ban worthy, RL? Don't play innocent- it's pretty obvious you're recalling a thread asking about my death. Knock it off, dude.

It wasn't a good idea then, and it ain't a good idea now.

It's not my issue, mate. BBS got a timeout for this nonsense. Ressurecting it does nobody any favours.

If you really want to open that can of worms, feel free. Not sure the mods will like you for doing so though. Fair warning

Word of advice Sym: Report the fucking post, and shut the fuck up. Let the mods then do their job, some (such as TeeGee) have shown to be quite good at it.

I didn't even report the thread you like to bang on about, kid. Enough other posters found it out of line for the mod team to step in.

I've asked you to quit with the flaming, do you think that's something you can do?

It really seems like you're baiting me in to taking this to the mods. I'd really prefer to not go that way. All you have to do is stop with the death flames.

Is that a reasonable deal?

bullshit nonsense spewed from the mouth of sym - again.

What the fuck are you on about this time? Quote me where I've EVER posted a "death flame". In fact, I should report your fucking post for slandering me.

Yup- I messed up your post with RiskLlama's. No question- it was my mistake. Sorry mate. Mea culpa.

Should have paid closer attention

I'm glad you were decent enough to say so. But this illustrates why I think you should just quietly report the offending post and then shut up about it. Whether you let your emotions get the best of you, or just made a silly mistake, it's near impossible to do so if you aren't responding at all. And frankly you shouldn't have to. Just report it, have it removed, and move on with your day.

You have a fair point- and the death stuff does get to me more than I like to admit. That's not meant as an excuse though.

It's one of those things where you don't know whether to go stoic or to stand up for yourself. Sadly, I picked some kind of third option and overreacted.

I would prefer to deal with this without reporting him, but I think you may be right. Asking him to stop isn't really working, and backfires pretty spectacularly when I get it wrong.

TEMPORARY LOCK

Sorry guys and girls
I have a lot on today, so will deal with this when I have some spare time.
I do not want any more threads derailed. Start a new thread but keep it on topic or move it to another forum section where I am more likely to ignore it

[Butters1919]

Since the original thread remains locked, I figured it was a time to pick up where it and others have left off.

Obviously the answer is yes. We have 6762 active members.

If you sort the scoreboard by "games completed" and remove all of the New Recruits with 0 completed games, we have 6121 active members.

If you remove all New Recruits in entirety, we have 5674.

Grim.

Edit: Mods, feel free to unlock the original and merge this with it.

Interesting reduction stats, when typically do we see the fall in line peak?

[elbitjusticiero]

The site still has problems mainly in the afternoon, with frequent timeouts that make it very hard and frustrating to play. I quit because of that reason a year ago. Now it's not so terrible, but the problems are still there. No wonder people don't renew their subscriptions.

If you are not wary, subscription is auto renewing..... I changed my credit card for that reason, and that reason alone.

MODS -> merge threads already, locking a pertinent thread full of valid customer feedback. Head in sand much?

Sorry, that was a auto correct. The fall (season, summer spring fall etc) incline, or CC player come back and see the numbers peak. Like August, sept? Oct? Not sure when schools go back and we see the highest peak of the year

It used to be earlier, but the last few years we haven't had a real return of the veterans to the flock until Christmas.

The only exception was that one big August when El Jefe spent a fortune on advertising, but we aren't likely to see that again.

[Butters1919]

but we aren't likely to see that again.

Definitely not. It's done. As in this site. Unless we get new ownership who's again willing to invest in smart, targeted advertising and also willing to communicate with the current membership (or hire a dedicated communicator).

The team leaders are really the communicators at this point

[Butters1919]

Which is great and appreciated (at least by me), but it's not enough. We need an official voice that's letting us know what we can expect from behind the scenes. From big behind the scenes programming to small things, like what's going on with the foundry? Has it been officially shut down (fine, but let us know) or are we waiting for someone to take on the responsibility of cleaning it up and get things moving again? Promontory Summit has been in beta for what, over a year now?

Those are just one random example I came up with off the top of my head. There's many, many more I could have used!
