Title: What brought you to CC?
Post by: ChuckJ on July 12, 2012, 07:29:28 PM
This has probably been asked before. I may have even answered in a thread about it before, but here it is again.

How did you get to ConservativeCave?

For me it went like this (if I remember it all correctly)...

Either after W was elected in 2000 or during the run up to the election, I stumbled upon a site called Hollywood Halfwits while reading about some of the fruitloop celebs that was against Bush. I joined up. I even became a paying member. The Hollywood Halfwit site eventually became RightNation.

If I remember correctly some folks had gotten disenchanted with the way things were being handled at RightNation and started a forum called RightSociety. I got invited over there. RightSociety was an enjoyable place with good people. I was still a member at RightNation but mainly posted at RightSociety. Then I got banned from RightNation. It's the only place, not counting moles on DU, that has ever banned me.

Someone from RightSociety introduced me to Conservative Underground so I joined there. When RightSociety closed down Conservative Underground became my main hangout.

Conservative Underground was a great and entertaining place. Then the Ronulans invaded. And a crocodilian seemed to lose it. A friend invited me to Conservative Cave. It was fun and entertaining. It was kind of like what Conservative Underground was like when I first got there. I've been here ever since. I'm a member at a few other places that are good places with some good members, but for some reason most of my time seems to be at Conservative Cave.

I do want to take the opportunity to say that since SR and SaintLouieWoman took over Conservative Underground is back to being a good place. I don't post there, but I do visit often. They've done a great job over there. So two big thumbs up to SR and SLW.

I googled "conservative forums".

There was this one and CU.

So, I hung around and read some to get the feel for both of them.

CU was too....civil....for me.

So, I decided to come here and hang out with the other miscreants.

I had left our old home in the wake of the 2006 election and was hanging out in FR when franksolich sent me a private message letting me know about this place.

I had missed the whole Ronulan invasion and, just like a third arm, I didn't miss it.

Thank you so much. SR and I enjoy coming here, too. There's room for more than one or 2 conservative sites. I came here to keep up with my old (and new) friends here.
and we don't have the Ronbots, at least not for too long. And the alligator guy is no longer with us, has been gone for some time.

I was looking for sites that discussed politics.  I found DU first and this place second.  I like seeing what's happening, but can't stand TV.  When I read something of interest I can research it further.  I get great leads here.  That's originally why I found DU interesting.  Anything that gets them worked up is most often a good thing.

I had been checking out conservative websites for quite a while, then hit upon Conservative Underground, and remained with it for years. However, I soon saw that most of the real action could be found here on Conservative Cave, so I joined this site. While there were some initial issues with the registration process or me, they eventually let me join, and I'm happy they did!

DrudgeReport link to Free Republic (which I didn't join) from which I found The Dummie Funnies and used to visit the DF website specifically (and laugh at DU).  After reading DF for several months, I found in the comments section a post by either Franksolich or Dumb Ass Tanker advertising CC sometime around Jan. 08 so I came over here, lurked for a bit and joined in March 08.

I actually got sent here by DU.  I had been lurking there for years & reading DUmmie Funnies & picked up the name of this site from some DUmmie rant.

So I came here principally to keep an eye on the idiot liberals, but enjoy all the other sections as well.

I look at it this way--Dunkin does those apple crumb donuts every now and then.

How hard could it be to do something similar using peach filling?

Oh yeah--and anti-Paul.  That's what brought me here.

Lurked at DU for a bit during the 2000 election season, when a poster there mentioned CU and went there to check it out.  Same issues as everyone else after that, the Rontards, Gator going off the deep end, CU crashing and having to re-sign up.  Decided to cool it on the forums for a while and found this place with most of the people from CU.

Which is not to ever be confused with General Order #24

General Order 24: An order to destroy all life on an entire planet. This order has been given by Captain Garth (Antos IV) and Captain Kirk (Eminiar VII). On neither occasion was the order actually fulfilled.

I used to post on the weekly boards for Ann Coulter's column until Yahoo shuttered their boards for Op-Eds.  I found CU shortly before a major crash, then registered here , but never went back to CU.

found a pie on the kitchen counter...
