Interestingly, deleting CTF *may* increase, at least temporarily, the number of "rants" here in CCC as some of the people who frequent CTF move over. My guess, is that things will settle down after some unspecified adjustment period. If not, then the more radical posters can be warned and then banned. Trying to sneak back in using an alias will be a more expensive, and hence less likely occurence. Long term, I think the requirement to pay for CCC will actually raise the standard of the posts, since only people really interested in the hobby would likely pay. regards, --tom
