In case you missed the announcement ...

</p>

<p>Very useful-find out earlier if you or your kid has been admitted! :D</p>

<p>I meant the TV shows where advertisers pay based on the demographic specific ratings where the king of ratings is considered to be 18-34 year olds.</p>

<p>Essentially xiggi the young dude who grew up on CC is complaining he is no longer the demographic. I am sympathizing with him that people who pay for things are never the demographic (he can afford to buy stuff if CC advertised!). :p</p>

<p>Oh no, TPG, I am merely ranting against changes that MIGHT entail being more like FB, being more graphical than contextual, allowing avatars and similar things I have always found distracting and utterly stupid, and more of the stuff teenagers like. :wink: </p>

<p>But having straddled the edge of the quitting cliff for years, I should be thankful to finally being old enough to have become irrelevant. And led to a greener pasture. </p>

<p>Will see soon!</p>

<p>Facebook’s response to Princeton’s study predicting its demise.

<ol>
<li>Use customizable avatars to put a face to your CC presence
Not sure if this is necessary.</li>
<li>Safeguard your info with stronger password protection
This will mean I won’t be able to remember my PW.</li>

<p>oldfort—there is this wonderful program called 1 Password for Mac. There is a different program for PCs but I have been on Apple so long that I can’t recall the other name—just like I can’t recall passwords!</p>

<p>You create a master password to unlock 1 Password and it saves all of your passwords & log-in IDs.</p>

<p>So it is going to have an easy quote feature like EVERY OTHER forum has? If not, why not?</p>

<p>and is would be nice to have a multi-quote function.</p>

<p>I’m so used to

[quote]
text [ /quote] on here that I never even use the “quote” feature on other forums lol. </p>

<p>I’ve already blocked CC from my computer. Hoping to finally wean off once and for all. Maybe if my password is changed for me, I’ll just never bother to go in and get a new pw :)</p>

<p>Xiggi, you are not allowed to leave. I want to share the good news with you when Jerry Jones finally leaves the Cowboys.</p>

<p>Can someone explain to me the supposed benefit of “social integration”, especially as it pertains to Facebook?</p>

<p>Targeted ads that follow you into the toilet?</p>

<p>“I meant the TV shows where advertisers pay based on the demographic specific ratings where the king of ratings is considered to be 18-34 year olds.”</p>

<p>OT, but that’s simply not true. Media planners and buyers don’t assume that 18-34 yo’s are always “better” or worth paying a premium for. That’s an old chestnut. It all depends on the brand, category or service.</p>

<p>I have to admit I like the “clean” look of this forum. I can’t tolerate very long forums that have animations and emoticons all over the place.</p>

<p>The server busy messages should go away when the switch happens and things settle down. The servers will be new, too. Might take a little while to fully set up the new servers, though, when the firehose of CC traffic hits 'em.</p>

<p>Feeling kinda burned after the CommonApp situation… So, I’m more “hmm… sure… wondering if this was necessary”… than excited.</p>

<p>Two likes for the Princeton/FB debunk…I finally had time to read it.</p>

<p>One improvement I would like is the ability to click on a thread and have it go to the first unread post, not the first unread post since the last time I was logged into CC. I don’t always check every thread each time I’m on CC, so I wish the thread would remember the last time I was here.</p>

<p>My phone also does the double load thing. I don’t have the app.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Haha, I hope you know that the ol’ Arkansas Jerral will only leave them Boys in a silver and blue coffin. Steven Jones must feel like Prince Charles.</p>

<p>Xiggi, will CC join the rest of the Modern Forum World and have an easy quoting method? If not, why not??</p>

<p>and if there’s going to be some kind Facebook stuff, does that mean that Facebook links will now be allowed? If not, then that seems a bit weird…at least linking to groups, like “Harvard’s Class of 2018” page should be allowed. I can understand not linking to personal pages.</p>
