Candlepowerforums is "dead" to me.

BLF Site-related Issues

Well this took a turn real quick. So, while my comment wasn’t productive in the sense that it added to your point of view on CPF, I was only alluding to what others have subsequently explained: threads about CPF tend to devolve into unproductive conversation fairly quickly. Given how long you’ve been involved in both forums, I assumed you might have known that or have seen some of those threads in the past. My comment certainly wasn’t meant to be rude or edgy. As you mentioned, BLF has always been the more inclusive, accepting, and friendly place, which is part of why I made the permanent move here some years ago.

Sounds like you and I are about the same, in more ways than one. I joined CPF 10+ years ago and BLF shortly thereafter. It’s crazy thinking it’s been so long!

…and…

That’s a lot of kids in short order! Good luck to you man!! (My six are spread out over 12 years.)

You sure about that?

(Your math doesn't add up.)

For me, CFP contains too many ads. Furthermore, the one at the bottom really frustrates me because you cannot hide it. It takes up viewing space.

Is there some reason why you can’t block it with an ad blocker? With Ublock Origin I can right-click, and select Block Element on any element in a webpage.

21

Thanks. Totally forgot about adblocker :D

Fat fingers. 10+ years.

I joined CPF in February 2010, and you all can see when I joined BLF.

I only have two posts on CPF.

24

No problem!

If they ever disable them my internet usage is going to plummet. I even have a third-party youtube client on my phone so I don’t even wait for ads on there. :smiley:

Vegeta would be very proud of your power post level on BLF :beer:

Came here from there to get the gigglemonster… :stuck_out_tongue:

27

CPF should be given some respect, after all, most of us came from there.

28

Came here from there to get some group buy and also pinkpanda’s auction.

Cat Stevens is more than ok. Yusuf Muslim is dead to me. Read the wiki about cat Stevens. And then read this wiki about Cat Stevens’ comments about Salmon Rushdie Cat Stevens' comments about Salman Rushdie - Wikipedia He has lied over and over about what he said.

Wow, what a subject leap! I’d like to see that in slow motion……

31

…and 480 x 212 pixels ain’t gonna cut it. 1920 x 844 may possibly show the transition of this sudden subject leap.

32

Cpf is dead because power abuse. It has more traffic because it is for profit, much like head-fi.

33

Since CPF was sold, about 6 months ago, it has lost traffic and is no longer ranked more popular than BLF (smaller number is higher ranking):

.

I feel sorry for the new ower of CPF.

34

Thats kinda strange, did he actually make the site worse or is it just pandemic related coincidence?

35

If you look at the right side shelf of the the two graphs, CPF is actually trending slightly higher, going back say 40-45 days, after cratering during the sale.

In general, people don’t like changes. Wait for real results when things cool down.
