• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I would love to see a prime numbers thread. Particularly one that didn't involve the use of a pre-made list or a computer program.

1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17. . .

That would be great.
Try this doosey: 365.

You're only allowed one number @ a time though.

AV would you consider yourself having an addiction susceptible personality?
I would consider myself 'impatient'.

Waiting for responses to my posts drives me up a wall, as I'm used to rapid-fire questions.

In addition, it's a good place to spend your time while waiting for an online euchre tournament to start.

:doh: -- You're kidding me!?

Do you mean six different threads here, or six different websites?

6 sites and sometimes an online game "eve-online"

Sometimes its more tabs with multiple threads/pages from from a certain number of sites. I think the most threads I've had going on CF is about 4. I'm usually on FB on about 2 chats.

It's hard for me to fathom how someone can possibly do this. Here are AV1611VET's stats.
  • Total Posts: 1,230,558
  • Posts Per Day: 847.90
847.90 posts per day!? That would mean 35 posts per hour, about 1 post every 2 minutes for the past 4 years! AV1611VET must be on here all of the time. How can this be possible unless he is constantly posting here and hardly breaks for food and drinks?

Brace yourselves: this isn't the only forum he visits and posts on either. I've seen him on several - CARM comes to mind as the main one where he posted quite frequently the last few months (less so the last month or so).I'll take a look later at his posting from there.So it's even worse than these stats.

Whatever AV's faults and strengths are, how he chooses to spend his time on CF or any other forum is up to him. Take issue with embedded age, or the Ark being built in Jersey, or [current topic] can take a hike, or Pluto/Challenger/thalidomide if you must. But the fact that AV pads his post-count with counting threads has no bearing on his arguments, and drawing attention to it is little more than an ad hominem attack on a guy who, for whatever reason, enjoys counting threads.

oh? like what if i may ask?

3 windows for me. I use autofill on my browser and subscription lists on my forums when I'm navigating between them, but I still keep 2-4 windows open. Currently CF, the Iridium flare schedule on Heavens Above and Wikipedia, currently the entry for Futurama characters.

The number of tabs I have open in my browser tends to fluctuate from like 3 to 15+ depending on what I'm doing. If I'm programming I generally just wind up with a ton of tabs as I search for documentation, code samples, or solutions to problems I encounter. I don't close them after I'm done so eventually I have to purge my browser of useless information. It's fun.
