Howdy, Folks! And Welcome to my virtual campground! Righteously, I really ought to Introduce myself here. So, here goes.
My name is Scott, and I go by the Screen name Cowboy Camper. Some call me CC for short, and I'm OK with that as well. Anyhow, I've been a rather Active member of a couple of other camper forums in the past (notably PUX and PUP). And I've had an interesting relationship with both for about a year- year and a half at each place. I've also been Banned from both! I guess some folks don't care for a strong willed type of guy like me who ain't afraid to say it as I see it, huh?
Anyhow, here's a few details about them.
At PUX I was banned when a certain Moderator and I really tangled horns. The Admin at PUX has since let me back in as a member, but withOUT ever being known as Cowboy Camper ever again. I've posted a few posts there under a new Scree name, but I really couldn't continue to pretend to be someone that I am not. So I don't post much over there at all anymore.
I still get along well with that Admin and have no animosity against him at all. (we spoke a few times on the phone, actually. Really a nice guy!) The certain Moderator I really have bucked horns with has also since been Fired as a Moderator. Still, there is that Rule in place that doesn't allow me to be me. So I don't post.
Then there is the Portal. (PUP) Pretty much from Day One, the Admin there didn't care for me. He let me be me for about a year too, but in the end (when he started hiring on some Staff folks of his own) the animosity between us only grew larger. In the end, I was restricted to a rule that stated that I could not talk about ANYthing that was not Camping related.
Folks, I couldn't even give a Compliment about the new site upgrade without having my post Deleted.
At this point, I PM'd the entire staff and told them to Delete my account. Well, instead of doing what I think would have been the proper thing to do (Delete my account) they Banned me too. They chose to deceive y'all by leaving me set as an Active Member, even though I am not. To me, this is just wrong.
So. About This Place?
Well, ever since PUX I've been wanting to Host a Virtual Campground of my very own. And through some other helps from a certain member here at the Forums (justbrian to give Credit where credit is due) Here I AM! ;D A Place fully my own and I couldn't be happier about it.
I first started off with the .Webs site with some forums included, but the features there did not work as well as I had hoped. (they've since improved, but I've since been working on migrating to here). This here Forum though, does. I have to be honest and Thank Brian for the invite to his own .proboards forums. Because of his Invite, I have found the Proboards Forums that have allowed me to Be Me at My Own "Cowboy's Campground!"
So, there's my Story, and I'm Sticking to it! Welcome, Folks!
