CTF was established to discuss topics other than just chess, as I understand it.
So no topic is off limits in CTF, in contrast to CCC. In that way, CTF
compliments CCC's much more narrow topic set.

My question is "Do we need CTF"? With all the thousands of usenet groups and web
sites, why do we want/need another unmoderated, off-topic (imo), general forum?
If anyone wants to read/post about Israel/Palestinian issues, etc., there are
lots of newsgroups (like soc.culture.palestine), where these other issues are
covered in detail.

I believe CTF is useless. It's just a volleyball net strung up next to a
football game. imo

If CCC is a financial/time burden, I'd like to see CCC move to a moderated
newsgroup forum, without any CTF counterpart.
