I mean, he created a website that I've enjoyed a lot for over 17 years now, but as a person, they was something kinda...I dunno. Strange about him. A lot of it centred about his paranoia / obsession with privacy.

- Banned anyone from the boards almost instantly if they called his house
- Didn't seem to disclose that many details about himself
- Seemed caged in general about his life
- Pretty much only ever spoke directly to the world on one occasion (that I know of), during that radio show
- Seemed to hate running the site, even though he chose to do it
- Sold the site for (relative) peanuts, like he thought that people were "closing in on him", or something
- Pretty much disappeared from public life after selling the site, as if people give a shit about who he was, or what he did 

Why was he so secretive? It's like he had a persecution complex, or paranoid delusions about how interested people were in him.

What do you think of all this? How do you interpret what we know about him?

Yeah, I'm not saying it was a good idea, but banning them was pretty crazy.

Nah I'd say banning creepy stalkers who are calling your house is perfectly fine.

But remember how he got less than 2 million dollars for it, even though it was basically an extremely popular website at the time? Wasn't it in the Alexa 500?

Some people just value their privacy. Sadly some think that's strange in a world where people are happy to post intimate details of their day to day life on social media.

Not everyone wants to be famous. I can't imagine he would of believed how big the website would get when he created it. Getting over a million dollars is enough to live comfortably on investments for the rest of your life.

His privacy skills are basically unparalleled. Literally decades later we still know almost nothing about him. One of the biggest game sites on the Internet, full of trolls and revengebeards who have been burned numerous times by site staff, but still nothing.

Probably because every thread he posted on CE would hit 500 posts within an hour. He was an internet celebrity.

yeah this guy's lack of self-awareness is mind-boggling

every point made in the OP is either made up, senseless or meaningless

anyone with an ounce of common sense can understand why somoene in his position might want to guard their privacy.

there was nothing strange about CJayC. this topic creator, on the other hand..

It is weird, given the apparent concern with privacy, that he was willing to meet with Gavi. I wouldn't come within a mile of that guy if I could help it.

Gavi contacted him to apologize for his past behavior in order to end the KoS iirc, but I don't believe they've met.

@Godnorgosh

What's this about Gavi? I find it hard to believe that CJayC met with anyone on this site, except some of the people who run the site.

I believe it was described on WikiFAQs when that was still around. Having some trouble finding it now, though.

Dude just wasn't a very public person. Can't say I blame him based on how some people around here act.

Also PotD did the same with their own mod. 

I forget her name but she was Scottish. Ail something or something Ail. All I remember was the Ail part

She was like 30 or 40 in a time when most of PotD was teens or early 20s and the younger posters drove her into a mental breakdown and she vanished
I heard he blew the money he got on vacation trips now he works at Best Buy asking customers if they want the store warranty. No thanks Ceej.

Shipping and Handling

I work in shipping. I'm not familiar with FedEx Smartpost, but we get a FedEx discount and One Rate prices provided we can fit our orders into the appropriate packaging. For us, it's $7-13 for FedEx 2 day (includes Sat. delivery for orders shipping on Thurs.) provided it fits in the right packaging. FedEx packs are ideal, but small or medium boxes work too (I believe the medium boxes are like 15x12x2 or 12x10x5 off the top of my head). Weight does not increase cost in those cases. For variable rate FedEx, it is more expensive and location and weight affect it. It is anywhere from around $15-30 for 2-day and $20-50 for overnight, and that's base weight price. It increases a bit per lb. up to 5 lbs. and significantly more at 6+ lbs., and if alternative packaging (aka not "official FedEx packaging"), it make increase even further depending on the dimensions.

USPS priority tends to be $6-8 up to a pound if using basic USPS packaging, and depending on location is generally 1-3 business days for arrival. "Regional Rate" packaging can be very helpful for packages that are of medium to heavy weight (as they depend only on location, not weight) and for especially heavy packages and/or far locations, their Flat Rate options can be even better (example: if you have a 10 lb. package being shipped from one coast to the other and it fits in a Medium or Large Flat Rate Box, you will pay more than twice as much shipping by "package," dimensions and weight than by Medium/Large Flat Rate, which are available provided you use the correct box(es)).

Generally, USPS is cheaper and more readily available. Disclaimer in this post: We get special deals for both because shipping-oriented business. We also get further discounts by using online services such as Shipstation and Endicia, plus we have FedEx, UPS and DHL all competing with rates >_>. To a normal person selling something online on a whim, this information will not reflect their options, but is meant as background insight as to how shipping works in general.

The bottom line: USPS will save you the most money if you are paying for shipping, and comparing package weight and dimensions against Regional and Flat Rate services is always worthwhile. You can minimize costs by doing this and the USPS is pretty much bound to it, so you have nothing to lose. FedEx has comparable options, but I don't think they are as readily available as with USPS. They have an Express Saver option which is 3 day (comparable to bottom-end USPS Priority), but it is limited. In general, FedEx is more restrictive and fickle, though on the delivery end is more reliable, in ETA and quality service. If 100 people ordered 100 things FedEx and 100 things USPS, 100 people will report that FedEx packages arrived in better condition than USPS packages by a large margin >_>

Anyway, if any of this is relevant and useful to you, tc, feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. If I have relevant insight, I'll share it :P
