Yeah I think the CC FB group has taken a lot of daily users but I still poke my head in here several times a day to see what is going on. I think a resurgence in CCFan would happen if it were easier to post photos directly to the site instead of using a 3rd party. But even the FB CC group sends questions here as you can follow up much easier on a thread then scrolling back and back to see respones.
Reunions still happen! Well at least one public one and it's been slow going as not a whole lot of movement to the SJRR gathering. The Nautique Regatta is back at Lanier again for 2023 so a few CCFans will head to that and eventually end up at the Morfoot Marina sometime during the weekend. It is Winter for most of us and the only ones who might be skiing at Lewy and Kapla and Lewy hasn't even had the boat in the water this season. I guess Adam and I are gonna have to head back to Oz to get a boat wet. Last time we did we ended up killing Prince so that's why we haven't been back.  Turning of the Sun has already happened so it won't be long before the My boat won't start threads start showing up.

Good news. Ski Nat back watching action. Drought no water no boating Yes, having to ask KENO to post pictures for me sucked. And the hack was discouraging. But there’s not much on PN for me Happy new year’s |

HA. With Larry's retirement he seems to be busier these days or perhaps he is fine tuning the reel to reel time recording machine to share some more film.....

This is still “the site” to me. Check in daily. KENO certainly carrying the torch, which is much appreciated. I’m surprised Larry hasn’t thrown up my PN post about this place yet…

I just sent Keith a donation to help support this site. Perhaps we can all chip-in a few shekels as this site takes cash to stay open. Have you seen the price of Purina Elephant Chow lately?

This has been mentioned before, I think some of it is a natural ebb
and flow of enthusiasm. This site had a core group of members, we all
know the key names, that posted a ton, skied and boated a ton, went to
reunions, became good friends. While I wasn't very active outside the
site I still feel I know people here and enjoy the friendship. But
Keith got this ball rolling 20-ish years ago (I think) and those
super-enthusiastic folks who did the organizing and fueled a lot of the
conversations are 20 years older now, life changes. I think they
weren't really replaced with a new generation. Now maybe that's because
of some of what Steve said about changing habits. Personally I think
it has less to do with covid and more that younger folks don't spend
much time on old fashioned forums.

Almost every group that I have been involved with has lost folks during and after Covid. Covid changed a lot - people consume CC's and info / interactions in different ways now. This site has been crippled by hackers, is poorly supported by it's users, is a niche "destination site" and we don't have reunions any longer. Facebook, Instagram and other sites reach more folks and haven't had the limitations that this site has had.
I still love the folks (generally ) on this site and have built lifelong friendships. Things need to change or it will stay as a less and less visited niche site for nerd CCFans. My $ 0.02. |

Here's a picture of that big boy.
Done with IMGBB and still more than a bit of a PIA than it should be dealing with the CCF program/software or whatever to make it show up here.

I hate to say it but the elephant in the room may be larger than just no pictures being uploaded. Its been eerily quiet on here for a few weeks.

It seems like there's this big elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about, so i guess I'll ask the question
Is picture posting through the site software without using some photo hosting service, ever gonna come back? It's not the first time this has happened, been known about and gone unresolved for long stretches of time with people bringing it up on the site, sending e mails etc and nothing happening or at least being communicated The elephant could have other questions too but this'll do for now
