CPF Sold - Under New Management

since i use Brave, i did not know what you folks are talking about.
so…with Chrome, i went to CPF. now i remember why i use Brave.

It did.

I vaguely remember that comment. :wink:

It’s been like that for years.

This Adblockers for the win!

As long as Virgil isn’t there anymore, I’m fine with the new ownership.

You can sell a Facebook page? Talk about selling bottled air.

Pretty sure “ownership” of a FB page just means a person is in charge of it. Marky Mark owns it.

Just like any ad, or propaganda. Bottled air pays big, I guess.

At least a full web site includes a dns name and content. That has value.

Spaceballs to the rescue.
Ignore the Russian dubbing in the middle

I found out about BLF before I found out about CPF. I read many stories about that forum. So I decided to check them out but nothing that caught my eye. Although it seems that the forum is more towards the CW side instead of a more WW side?

From my experience, the CPFers that don’t have a foot here are either all about the highest power possible, which means most of the time they’ll be using CW, or incandescent aficionados.

it is back yet?
I see 404

It is up and running at the moment.

How come there’s no CPF link in the Related Sites section?

I recently received CPF spam ” look what other’s are talking about ” Never heard a peep from them before

Supposedly that’s a new “feature” to try to get more people on the site than before. Everyone that is a member will be getting that email by default but you can opt out by unsubscribing at the bottom.

Yeh, I started getting ’em, too; wondered if I should ask if anyone else was as well.

eh, I actually came here from CPF when I heard about the “giggle monster” and had to check it out and then get one, and others…and then more…:p.

I was mostly on CPF because of my laser hobby which was a very small (one) section of their forums, actually hung out on photonlexicon.com more.

I'm think it's due to the fact that BLF was created because of how those on CPF looked down on budget flashlights.

They drove away many people, there are consequences to that.
If they want more members they have to realize their past mistakes and change their culture so that they are not repeating them.
Atoning would also be nice but it is unlikely.

check out auto section, lmao, it is hilarious, people who have not posted in years come back and parse those 2 idiots mods for something they told them years ago, writing long posts on how usefull they are, what a crock of sht, no one does that, those 2 need to be thrown out like stinky garbage, they are 2 most toxic mods on that forum. they are not fooling anyone, what a childish stunt,
oh and every time i had a pm fight with them some idiot starts pm’ing me how bad i am for arguing with those 2 shmucks, and calls me names, lmao. if i did not know any better i’d say those 2 have other accounts, and write people nasty massage’s from those accounts. the sooner they are gone the better off the forum will be.
and they do read this forum, good. i hope Jelly reads it too

Does mods get pay?
