So CTF came about trhe simple fact of the matter is that today the two boards are made up of alomst entierly different members while there are some cross over posters (because of the link on the top of the pages)the vast majority of posters on the CCC pretty much post only on the CCC nad vice versa so to now say that the CTF serves as a snother site for CCC members to "let their hard down" is simply no longer the case perhaps in the begginning this was true but is certainly is not true today what we have today are two seperate boards comprised chiefly of two seperate groups of members. things change with time the CTF has changed.. its time to face this fact,de-link from the CCC and move on Best Steve (I think that's its 3rd >or 4th name btw, though Fernando would know best) to allow CCC members talk >_among_themselves_ about whatever they pleased.
