I have two homes on the net - one here on LCT and the other on the Hawaii ports of call board on CC. I find it very interesting as to how different the "feel" is to each section at CC. I have spend time in the past on the Celebrity/Carnival boards as well as lurking on the Radisson board and they all have a different atmosphere.

While the Celebrity board and other boards have had occasional "troublemakers", "trolls", "difficult people" in the past, they've managed to recover from them and move on. The Radisson board has drastically changed in the last 1/2 year and I firmly believe that it's because of the uneasy feeling over there. There almost seems to be a sense of malice on that board now with people monitoring the threads for ANY mention of LCT or Ngaire's site and attacking those that dare to post such information. This has certainly led to a decrease in posts on that board as most of the regulars have moved the majority of their posts to here on LCT. This also decreases the utility of the CC Radisson board and makes it more difficult to disseminate information to newcomers.

It really is a shame.

However, not all of CC is like this ... most of the other boards retain their identity so I don't want to lambast the entire message board for the problems in one section.
