<p>haha as you should be...HS is all about craziness and spontaneity</p>
<p>post count <em>ouch</em></p>
<p>Though I fully support Roger. He's never done anything unreasonable in all my time on cc :D</p>
<p>hello celeb. you have returned?</p>
<p>ive abandoned the hs forum since the days of yore. i do pop by on occasion. CHAOS.</p>
<p>My time on cc is coming to a close :p You know, for the first time I can't join in all the fun! :p I'm afraid I must soon abandon it as well :D</p>
<p>i feel so old...the new wave of cc'ers is taking over. ahh somebody stop me before i purchase a rocking chair.</p>
<p>I feel very old. I've been here a long, long time. I'm glad to say goodbye to cc though- it's purpose is done for me. It served me well, but I don't need its services anymore you know?</p>
<p>i know. i came here at the height of my college applying anxiety, and now its all over and done with. my internet obsession has now shifted over to facebook :)</p>
<p>Yep. CC seems so utterly pointless haha. :p Our time is done, it's a new cycle of cc'ers now! We're old news ;)</p>
<p>but I got tipped off that there's something exciting coming up soon ;)...</p>
<p>I just want to know this: Why would some one care soo much that they feel it neccessary to obliterate all "unneccessary" posts. I mean surely there's something better to do. One has to spend a lot of time on CC to be so infactuated with it. Does it really bother people? From what I see people are enjoying talking about stuff, which all High-Schoolers talk about. I mean, I talk basketball all the time, it's part of my life. So why is some one else to tell me, "No," it's totally off-topic. Maybe the rules/topics should be well-stated on top of the page or something so that "Off-topic" stuff isn't mentioned.</p>
<p>I really don't understand your logic..just don't read the threads if you hate them so much.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if you are talking about mods or members, but the answer is simple. Our objective is to have a community that is a useful resource for many thousands of college-bound students and their parents, and that the archives of these discussions will be helpful in subsequent years. We have hundreds of forums here, each dedicated to a particular topic. If these forums become cluttered with irrelevance, they are less useful to new arrivals, current members, and future members. Recognizing the need for some OT interaction, we created the CC Cafe and later the Parent Cafe.</p>
<p>Note that all moderation decisions are made by moderators, not by individual members. I wouldn't blame any individual member - this cleanup has been in process for a while. We tried to do this quietly, assuming folks would get the message when they saw that OT posts had been moved to the Cafe or removed.</p>
<p>In an ideal world, every thread and every post in our topical forums would be a resource to current and future readers. In reality, of course, that doesn't always happen. That's the standard we use, though, and that we hope our members use before hitting the "post" button. :)</p>
