Since this is a free hosted forum. There can't be any commercial gain or use of the forum.
I am not sure if we can do a buy sell trade here or not. Until I find out for sure I don't believe it is wise to post one.
Good to see you here Eagle. Hopefully over time we can build a nice forum.

Looks like we are off to a good start. I think I've met everyone signed up to this point with the possible exception of bumpy and eagle, but am familiar with them from the other forum. All are people I enjoy reading because of the prospective they share. There are a bunch more that I hope show up here, however I expect someone to take over the other forum next week. The last statement makes me think there is a plan in the works. (Yea, I wear a tin foil hat under my skull.) Cross that bridge when/if it happens.
I'm thinking that one of the ways to reach people would be to get the search engines to pick up this site with results from the other site. That means typing the other site's name often here. Also, we need to include the words "Kansas CCH" often. Perhaps references to news story in our posting would help the site show up in searches.

I think there is room for two forums in KS concerning CCH. I have missed chatting with a bunch of good people over the nonsense on the other forum.
Every domain name with Kansas CCH has been taken. Not put to use.
I too hold the CCHkansas.org domain name. In case we ever need to go to a pay for server site.

Hello everybody, was surprised to see that message on ksccw. I didn't post a whole lot, but I lurked and gained a lot of information, I enjoyed the discussions on local and regional news events. I also used the buy/sell/trade section from time to time. It's nice to be able to communicate with fellow Kansans, set up events, ect.
Anyways, dropping in to say hello
Andrew

Hew tkarter...How about a buy/sell/trade section? With the typical rules, laws, must have a price or trade specific.

We can try that but since we aren't paying for a forum here I am not sure how acceptable it is.
I have a domain name and we can go to the pro version where we can.
Of course the membership will be hit for donations to do something like that.

I'm married to mom, so I followed her here. Don't want to lose contact with the cch community. Did you stalk her then too , in order to get her to go out with you ? LOL. Couldn't resist that one. Or, did you get some convincing guidance ? |

I hope this forum works out...I believe we can make it work...its good to be here...I don't live in Kansas anymore but I really enjoy the the members of this site...KSCCW had gotten to juvenile and petty....I believe we can have some fun and banter a little but all out attacks are uncalled for....

It will work because I am one stubborn sob and until I decide to call it a night it ain't a night.
It isn't here to compete with any other KS CCH site.
It is here to be enjoyed and promote CCH in Kansas.

I went to the 'other' forum tonight... and all of the nana nana boo-boo stuff, etc. just kind of got to me. I thought it had gotten bad, but .... it just came across a lot lot worse to me tonight. Seems to be since the "shutdown" , the testiness, saracism, and the cynicism has gotten worse.
That is a repeat of what I saw on two forums that died an ugly death some years ago. Ironically, they did the same thing that KS2A did and shut them down temporary for a few days. Afterwards, a lot of the good people just didn't really come back, and the nastiness in the forums (by some) just got even more direct, more blunt, and much worse. Within 6 mo's after that phase, they died.... with some people making all types of threats, etc. These happened at different times from each other, but followed the same path. I hope that doesn't happen to any of the Kansas CC boards. But.... this is giving me deja vu.
Ironically ..... a more quiet existing board, got the overflow and people from the other board when it shut down , and when certain people went in there and started the same stuff they were doing in the other one, they were quickly banned. So, there were some sacrifices and blood letting but things then smoothed out. Another new forum started up to help fill the void as well. Both of those forums, still exist... years later.

It can happen anywhere that is unmanaged and the membership is left to anarchy. IMHO
