Things are really popping here today--as they've been popping since mid-summer--and I thought I'd check to see who all was originally responsible for the inevitable success of conservativecave, when it came into being in late December 2007.
So I checked.

So.....tell me, old-timers.
Has conservativecave turned out as well as you originally thought or hoped it would?
-
I wasn`t quite sure what to think at that point and was pretty much an unknown as had been a recent refugee from FR and hadn`t been at CU but for a couple of months.
So far despite normal hiccups and "stuff" it seems to have worked out fairly well.
-
Damn...missed it by a week.

Damn...missed it by a week.
You were pretty early, though.
For some reason now forgotten, I arbitrarily picked the first 42 as "charter members."

Not to worry. I missed it by two.

I'm the sort of person who wants to be absolutely sure a ship's sinking, before I jump ship.
And so I was in the water up to my neck before I finally figured, "Okay, the ship's sinking, so I'd better jump."
I wasn't here but two minutes when Rebel sent me a personal message, asking me to be a moderator of the DUmpster.
I was startled.
I have no way of knowing this for sure, but I always had the impression that management over at our old home sort of viewed me as a loose cannon.
(This however is not to be construed as criticism of our old home, for which I still retain much affection and goodwill.)
I don't think I'm a loose cannon--my shots are deliberately arranged, and just as deliberately made to look random--it's just that most are simply uncertain where and what my target is.
And I thought perhaps Rebel had the same qualms about me, so I told Rebel "Give me a couple of weeks to think about it, so you're sure this is what you want to do."
But just as I was shooting off that personal message, BOOM! I found myself a moderator.
Good times, back then, and even better now.

CC is everything I thought it would be and then some. It's all good!
When the Great Meltdown occured that gave rise to this board, I was actually out of town visiting family. I normally don't check my internet haunts on those trips. There's too many family members under foot and let's face it, I came to see them - not chat online. But for some reason, I got a wild hair and decided to check out our former home to see what was going on.
Imagine my surprise to witness the Great Meltdown in full swing. By the time I stumbled into it, the Meltdown was raging and had already taken out several people. It was like walking into a street fight almost over. Punches flying, people knocked out and bloodied, chaos all around.
I felt so disheartened and wished I had just not even gotten that wild hair that led me to log in from out of town. But, it also allowed me to get a line on this place and where everyone was going. I had no idea what was going to come of the Great Meltdown but I knew the days following would decide for me.
Like Frank, I decided to wait until the ship was well and truly sunk before I jumped into the CC lifeboat.
I haven't regretted a thing since.

Whew! Just made it! :-)

Hey Dixie, I was reading something about Brad Paisley today (something about Kanye, I don't listen to country), and as I always do, checked out Wiki. Then I read his story about how he hooked up with his wife. Then I checked out his wife's page. Who does this look like?

:evillaugh:

LOL! You think I look like her??? I'm blushing!!
Now, I wonder if I could take her place??? For a week??? :rofl: Brad is CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!
-

+1, especially since that bastard Artois is gone :uhsure:
For some reason now forgotten, I arbitrarily picked the first 42 as "charter members."
For some forgotten reason? Arbitrarily? Come on now, 42 is widely considered the most opportune number, especially if you've remembered to bring your towel. By golly, it's the answer to everything!
-
Great board...glad to be one of the charter members :-)...hope it's around for many years :-)

Damn good resemblance to the pic you have on FB.

CC has been great. Glad to have been here since T + 4.

I thought I was one of the first members.
Oh well.

I thought I was one of the first members.
Oh well.
You were number 46, on January 3, 2008.
That's pretty close to the top, out of the membership.

It was a long time ago. Normally, I would be bored by now but CC has been chugging along nicely. The Other Site, I would have a hard time catching up if I was gone for awhile. I don't have that issue here.
-
I am glad that DemonicUnderwear character faded out of existence here. Couldn't stand him!
-
Missed it by two days.
Yes, it is a very nice site, and I have always enjoyed my self.
-
and I have always enjoyed my self.
Well, I'm sure we all do, but it's generally not something we say in public.
-
Had to check my profile and see when I joined.
I can't belive I am not ignored by anyone.
:o
I must be slacking.
-
I think it's been fantastic! It's always a surprise to me when I see I was the 4th person who signed up here when Kev kicked the door open. You guys are the best! :)
-
I was so glad to leave the other place. Too many snippy little lap dogs who liked to piss on everyone there. Then there was the big old elephant who had diarrhea of the mouth too much.

OMG! How could you not tell us you were married to Brad Paisley Dixie!
:-) :lmao:
-
I'm actually a little amazed that I was in the first 42. I took a rather extended hiatus from internet boards in general for awhile, but I'm very glad that you were here to come back to. I think we have some really great people here :heart:
-

Better..........much better.

He was a turd-on-a-stick, wasn't he? The bastard.

I'm here because I'm weak. I'm a follower. And it looked shiny!

Hey, I wouldn't ignore you--at least then I have a REASON to kick you in the balls... :nutkick:

:rofl: Man if that were true, I'd never be on the dang internet. I'd be keeping Brad "busy".

Total turd on a stick!!!!!! :-)
-
Damn...missed it by a week.
Missed it by four days. Oh well, salute to all who came before me. :cheersmate:
-
Hadn't realized I was here that early. Glad to be here!
And yes ..... 42 is the perfect number. It is the answer to Life, The Universe and .... Everything. As has been mentioned, make sure you bring your towel.

Missed it by 23 days. Rats!!
Around the holidays I'm pretty much just automatically absent. Too much going on. Besides, I was in the middle of some really busy work in early 2008. By the time I popped back into CU and saw the Ronbot invasion, it took me some searching around to find out where everyone went. And even then I really couldn't catch up with everything until around April or so. But, at least I found you.
Good site and looking forward to poking fun at the primitives in 2010.

From the looks of the lists it looks like all the really cool people waited 4 days to make sure this was going to be the place we wanted to settle.

About the same for me, I tuned out during the Ronbot invasion, and when I came back to CU, and asked where my favorite posters went, one of the mods sent me a PM with a link to here (It might have been Sarasota Repub)......the rest is history.

That caused me a great deal of fear and trepidation, when you weren't showing up.
I knew you were part of some study group or something on mortgages at the time, and away from home. And I got greatly concerned that you might not find out where we were.
-
Got the invite, and came over here, because I was getting more and more sick of the crap going on at the old place.

Shove it "noob"! j/k :tongue:
Boy I jumped ship sooner than I knew I guess. I have not really looked back or been back but there are no hard feelings and I wish them well. Heck I still get invited to CU's fantasy football tournament (through Yahoo) and am happy to join the old gang in that reguard. I like CU, Paulbots notwithstanding, I just prefer the company here at CC.
-
i joined on Jan 5th.
Glad I'm here.
I like the way yall rip up the libturds. lol
But the real reason I'm here is because of the Sex & Booze crowd.............and b-cuz of Shade of course.
Conservative hotties are the best. :naughty: :hyper:
-
I joined the 1st of January. Thanks to a certain wanton woman on here for inviting me over. If not for that I might have joined much later. CC has turned out to be great,just like being at home . Now we need to have free beer and lap dances.
-
Badcat PM'd me and told me about CC.
I visit daily but don't post as much. Rarely go anyplace else. I consider it home.
-
Damn...missed it by a week.
Three days!
:(
Oh well.

I joined March of 08 and rec'd several PM's from a mod/admin that were not very welcoming.

I joined in May of 08, and it was quite some time before I got a PM. I think I also had several posts before I found the welcome forum. :uhsure:

Sorry. That was during my Southern Comfort/Grapefruit juice period.

No kiddin'? I haven't received 10 PM's since I have been here! Most of those have been from other members asking me why the hell I'm here. They all say I don't belong and should kill myself before someone else does ...... I really don't understand what they mean but they have all been very respectful.
:-)
Glad you have hung around man.

I am one of the charter members too. I think Rebel told me about CC. Frank, you signed up right after me.

With you there its all good.

It was not you! :mental: :-)
I actually joined here due to the fact you were one of the people that I missed.
-
Has conservativecave turned out as well as you originally thought or hoped it would?
Absolutely. Met a lot of nice people here. It's my haven when I can't handle the liberal nonsense of my co-workers anymore.
-
We are the best! Dont you forgetit!
You don't need to remind me of that sweet thang. It's a given that conservative thinking women are the best.
:naughty:
Especially, if they are attractive****cough*****long legs******..........
A lot of peeps here I've followed from Rightnation.us, Republican Operative.com, CU, and a few other sites.
ptarmigan, formerlurker, NHSparky, and a few others know me from way back.
-
I didn't sign up until later in January after Kevin and Rob told me about it over at usmilnet. I lurked for quite a while until Thor nagged at me to participate.
I feel quite comfortable here.... :-)

[Don Adams]Missed it by that much.[/Don Adams]

I am as happy here as a DUmmy with a fresh bag of Cheetos.
