Why not just say you do not want to pay a cent to help anyone in either forum. People in CTF will support those in CCC, and vice versa. Just because you don't want to support either forum does not give you the moral rights to trash CTF. I suggest you like most are a visitor here, where if these forums vanished, you would not be worried too much. That is how most people here would feel. If you do not want to pay to keep CCC alive, then don't, but please stop with the excuses. Even if CTF was taken away, you still would not contribute with money to CCC, niether would most people here. Get down off the soap box please.
