What happened to the CC?

Post by hpdfk »

I just went on the CC for the first time. I thought it would be like the CM, with thousands of people to interact with.

What the hell happened to the former glory of the CC? Why did it die?

The CC isn't the greatest. I registered there a while back but, I don't care for it at all. The CM is the place to be :nod:

Because the CM is the greatest thing on the face of the earth and I hate the CC.

Yup. Thats the reason.

Wait....if the band is no more what the hell are we doing?

Have we become a cult like the elvis impersonators? You know, those crazies that just can't move on?

The CC really started dying when this site was created. Slowly though, because Gravity then came out and it kept people around there for a while, and new fans signed up etc...

But yeah, other sites helped let everyone know this one existed and now this site is the biggest OLP fan community in the world!!!

and it's all thanks to Al! Or should I use his full name!? :O

the cc was to awkward to use, not to mention almost all the hardcore fans moved over to the CM and the CC filled with new teeny fans

I was never much of a CC fan, 100% CM-er through and through.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
