Well, CB is closed now "sinking to the crushing black oblivion of Davy Jones locker..." and I hope the members there, who haven't made their way here, "CHART A COURSE" to Parley ;)

BTW~ I was formally known as ~~IAMTHESEA~~ at CB, so come aboard, and tell us your NEW name, here! :cheers:


...I hope I don't get sent t' the brig fer opening this thread... :blink:

How long has CB been closed for? Because I only headed over there today to find it no longer running...

Anyway, I was known as HamsterBall over there, although I serve under a different name here...

Don't worry, you're fine. At the moment...I can't really think of a better place for this thread to be...but if there is, someone will move it there so that more people notice it. :)

I've never actually joined CB myself, I've been there for short visits, but it is sad to hear that the site has been shut down. :( Any "survivors" of the "shipwreck" may feel free to bring their "life boats" here and join us on Parley. ;)

I don't know that another board can quite ever take the place of a board you've been on or at for a while that you loved and enjoyed, each place you end up at has great sentimental value, but hopefully people can come here from CB and enjoy themselves.

*ponders* I think I'll send it to On Deck.

I haven't been to CB in a long time, but I was very active there for ages... Modly, even. It's really horrible what happened. Really, truly horrible.

I hope more people find their way here, and that Parley can, in some small way, become a sort of POTC-home-away-from-home for them.

NOOOOO!!!

*cries*

We never even got to judge the teaser poster contest!!! :angry: Stupid blighters! All that work for nothing just makes me sick.

What sucks is that we had no warning, like Joni said. :(

Anywho, I was Davy Jones over there, or Grace as many of you knew me.

I'm in shock right now. It's like all I can do is stare at the closing message with my jaw on the floor. It seems so surreal.

Wait, what's CB and what happened to it?

CB was Crossing-Blades, another POTC-centric message board. I was a mod there as well (Godless Savage), and a member for the entire 3 1/2 years the site was up. The main problem was that the admins were pretty much non-existent. As mods, we could keep the place running smoothly, but it was very frustrating if other things needed attention, as the admins were never around. Apparently, they decided that they just didn't have the time or finances to continue running the site, so they shut it down. Unfortunately, they did so with absolutely no warning. It was up last night, and gone this morning.

We had a lot of good, active members, and I'm hoping at least some of them can find their way here.

Seconded :)

A week, or at least a two day warning, would have been nice before they shut down for good.

I was PirateAngel over at CB!

Yes, I saw she actually joined the other day, and had posted in the introduction thread. I was glad to see her! Her username here is Little Hairy Thief. :lol:

Hey FlyingDutchman, Grace and RumsGone! I did make it and as RumsGone said I am Little Hairy Thief over here. Everyone can still call me Paint though, it is shorter.

I was actually in CB when it closed. I had been in there for about an hour. I went to go to the next page of the thread I was reading, and the bulletin came up. It was 11 pm my time, which is Pacific Standard Time. My jaw hit the floor too. All the things we had going over there, and all the work, and now nothing to show for it. It sure was a shock and a shame.

Hey... another desperate FORMER MEMBER of CB (known as Commodore Norrington or AtriceSparrow over there)... which was my home on the internet for 3½ years and then I went online yesterday morning to check it as usual, and then it was gone. I felt like crying, seriously! :(

I am so angry and upset about that closing message, it's simply not respecting anyone, it came with no warning and noone can do anything... and I've really fought to keep that board alive... *sigh*

that's just how I feel... signed up here on Parley awhile ago but haven't really been active - I may be now, I need contact with other obsessed PotC fans and rumours too...

Arrgg that was what really bumped me out too. Maybe in time we can move it over here. Seeing that we all worked hard on them. ;)

And yes I´m back too, name is the same so no confussion there. :lol: But I think it all sucks, how can they just close down like that and without warning :angry: . And we are so close to the third movie and ..... Ohjj me sad :(
