CGN itrader ratings should not be approved for transfer here. Ikeo, are you now saying this forum was formed via calguns and not reddit? Giving into those on calguns? What happened to be different from calguns?
So it really is calguns 2.0?
if anything reddit gafs rating should be transferred here.
This place is a mix of the two plus from my own work experience. The Reddit sub was always asking about CGN and one day based on some circumstances, I had some time to work on it.
The Reddit community helped me with all the specs for the site. They told me what they wanted based on what was always missing from CGN since its tech from 2010ās. Before 2024, no real software upgrades since 2010-2012, not sure exactly when.
Iāve never been a part of GAFS, but we do incorporate some of their ruleset, same with CGN. I personally had lost 20+ rating going back since 2012. After building the site, I was asked quite often if I could import iTrader. This was the only method I could think of, where I could use account age and then iTrader screenshot came later. It created a way to monetize and also recognize reputation from our non-existent feedback system at the time to help seed new users.
If you noticed, Iāve worked in securing systems for a long time. Iāve done work for various companies from govt to crypto to Ecom. Reputation systems are beneficial to websites for a number of reasons. This is another layer and actually something Iāll write about in the member section later. Anyways, through this, the paid badge system was created and also what helped to fund the site since there was nothing really to support in the early days of the site. I paid everything out of pocket and was losing money for the first 7 of 9 months. Even now, it helps to fund different software upgrades and features for free members here including you.
As mentioned, weāll be sponsoring more so most of what we make will be reinvested in the site to help fund or spread the word.
Iād like to think as a member of both sites Iām able to pull from my experiences and most importantly listen to people. Thereās obvious lines I draw, and if you notice thereās a contingent at CGN, that doesnāt like the way I do things. In effect, not all Redditors and CGN donāt like certain aspects here. With that being the case, itās a middle ground for people to connect because thereās compromise. Doesnāt always work, and I know some people wonāt like what I do, and itās ok. CAguns.net is one option to choose from and I hope people like it and continue to help build it.
Iāll end with, I donāt want to speak poorly of CGN. It was a good resource for decades. Itās up and running and I hope people can see the difference between the two sites. To me, it should be obvious.
