Hi CF members

I've come to realise that CF has become something that is becoming further and further away from what I envision it to be. There have been times where I've contemplated closing the site down or selling it off. However, it is time to be accountable and to take some responsibility.

On 07/07/07 I plan to completely change all of CF's rules and forum access policies - basically to simplify them, and to remove a lot of current restrictions. The process of appointing staff will be changed too.

The "new" CF will be closer to my original vision of what it is to be.

A lot of members and staff won't like it - I am making this announcement simultaneously to both staff AND members. Staff may resign and members may leave. However, I've come to realise that this is my website in the end, and it is my responsibility to ensure that it stays within my vision of how it should be.

I cannot give you details of how it's going to be. But you will find out this Saturday.

Let's see what happens. :)


:clap: :clap: :clap: Erwin, how awesome!!

Guess what? I mentioned you to a newish member only a couple of hours ago and said that I believe that you have your hand firmly on the running of this site as webmaster of CF, and that your commitment and dedication to CF is extraordinary, especially given your current work commitments.

And I hadn't read your post.....I just found it now! ^_^ :clap: :clap: :clap: Bless you, Erwin! :hug:

Well, that will be interesting!

I hope you're getting professional advice from someone expert on socio-technical systems, because the story of CF so far has been one of apparently good decisions about technology and rules leading to unintended consequences.

...together with some really excellent decisions, of course.

Erwin, I am glad to hear there are going to be reforms! As some members might know I used to be on staff and when I resigned, I left CF for close to six months. I recently felt led to come back to CF and give it another chance, and I am now seeing possibly why I was lead back. I know for a fact CF can be much better than what it has been and I look forward to see what the changes will be. I hope to be able to help CF become the site I know it can. God bless and I pray for this site.

Wow... that opening post is a cliffhanger if there ever was a thread that had a cliffhanger!

This is one of those very rare times that I'd wish the spoilers were posted!

I hope we can get back to good-natured debate and discussion about issues and good old fellowship threads, too. Thank-you for taking time out of your actual life to step into this virtual world once again and take the helm. Many members have already left, and let's hope some come back after the change.
