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. For a period, like the PPP, it was moderated by CCC Mods 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
- Casual Communist Castle
- Casual Conversation Ghost Town
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 (but placed in the original "Members" group)
Rule 1 was reinstated due to complaints about CCC topics being shown in the GC's "Last Post Info" column on the Forum Index page, leaving mods to believe that there was spam in the GC.
April Fools Forum
On The first of April, 2008, the CCC was made a password protected forum. 7 clues have been released, most by Jeff Silvers.
The clues are:
1. Think below the stars. 2. The sound of one hand clapping. 3. It's not exactly a Super Mario Galaxy reference. 4. It's a small world, after all. 5. You're the one who gave me this. 6. Think above the core of the planet. 7. I sold you and you sold me.
The password was revealed to be flacid_fish.
