The Casual Conversation Castle is what was created on November 22 2007 by DJ Yoshiman, after the Pointless Post Palace was closed for a week. As with the PPP, it is currently moderated by Black Squirrel and Bacteriophage.

Premise

The CCC is in spirit, the same as the PPP, but with much different guidelines. It is currently only accessable to those who have the Happy Heart badge and no less than 250 posts. At first, members had to request to use the forum as a system was not in place to add them automatically. Emphasis has also been placed on the elimination of gibberish and pointless spam.

The current CCC is in a trial mode, which will run for a few months. Once the period is over, if there are no extreme issues with the forum, it will become permanent.

Name Changes

The CCC has already recieved a few name-changes:

  • Casual Posting
  • Casual Post Palace
  • Presumptuous-Planning Pre-Paid Picture-Perfect Pumping Post Palace
  • Transforming Conversation Castle
  • Hoffmoon Haven

Controversy

Many members have complained about the requirements to viewing and posting in the forum. Most complaints are from those who do not meet the requirements, however a small percentage of those who do also criticize the requirements. Many feel that the forum should be at least viewable to normal members.

Closure notice

On February 9th, 2008, a topic was posted in the News forum by Jas. It stated that the CCC would be closed within a week, due to various "problems" such as elitism and inefficiency of the access system. Predictably, there was a huge backlash, with many members pointing out that the forum had been doing much better recently compared to the past. Many topics sprang up in the CCC about the imminent "death" of the forum, and a petition to keep the forum was started.

Eventually, the decision to delete the forum was reversed, to the relief of many members. However, as a compromise, new rules were introduced:

  • 1. The CCC will now be a GC subforum (possibly to help increase GC exposure)
  • 2. A new five-strike system is planned: three strikes will equal a temp ban from the CCC, five will equal a permanent ban
  • 3. Everybody is a Casual Member by default
  • 4. Sasuke was here
