Seriously, though. The place was started by Matt (lawnmowerman) as a place for friends to hang out without many of the restrictions of other boards. Yes, there were many bammed CU members there (but WAY more members that had full posting privileges there and elsewhere). Yes, there were inappropriate things said and pictures posted in one subforum. But don't paint the place like that's all it was - that's not close to truthful, and I think the site's detractors know that. I know people tend to focus on the controversial things but proper recognition should be given for the many things that had nothing to do with the 'bad' stuff.
Touche...you got me on my one word. However, don't paint it out like the board was watching the musical "The Sound of Music". It was one of the most vile, foul mouthed boards I have ever seen. The few threads I read were talking about ripping off members personal body parts. It was also rare to see a thread WITHOUT foul language on it. To think talk like that is OK, is unacceptable. It was disgusting.
