I kinda wish it could be brought back in some way, shape, or form, unless if it's run by the same folks who run NLE and I'm not allowed there either. Shame I never even got to access it at all while it was still up because I probably first got introduced to No Limits when it was going or gone down. NLE, the one site that was meant to replace that which I never got to experience, and I deliberately posted something that caused a perma-ban (something I don't care to do here). There was a reason my intro topic here was called "starting anew, I guess" and it is related to that. Not that I don't like it here, but hypothetically speaking, if for some reason they changed their minds and let me back in (I don't think they would but if they did), I might, but if I did, I would delete all my existing tracks if they weren't wiped already and start over. NLE also doesn't have a profanity filter, and that's one thing I like about it more than CC. It's not filtering swear words that bothers me so much as when the letters of a blacklisted word are embedded in an innocent word and disfigure it, like this person's name:

Or when it does that but inside URL's, breaking them.
I'm also torn on whether or not I wish CoasterCrazy had the same rate system as NLE. During the short time I was on NLE I liked having a lot of comments per number of downloads on my rides and generally more thread activity but on CoasterCrazy, while I have a larger number of downloads, I have way fewer comments. I never had a problem with the character requirement on NLE even tho I didn't really like having to rate 1 out of every 5 rides I download, which may be why some rides don't have a lot of downloads. Yet if there was no such policy then there would be a lot more downloads and hardly any feedback. No system is perfect. I kinda liked how professional it seemed, weeding out the n00bs who don't know how to rate.
I dislike those high ratings that leave little justification. Thorough, honest feedback from knowledgeable members is usually more valuable to me than quick snappy comments from people who are more easily impressed. I do like the contest/challenge templates. Those are always fun even if I don't do as well as I'd like.
tl;dr I feel like I have more fun on CoasterCrazy but I'm not really sure why.
