7 July 2007 - a "new" CF

[JolieHeart]

Erwin, thank you for all you do and for sharing CF with us. May your vision always be clear.

Good luck with the changes. I love CF and hope it stays here forever.

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.

Thank you.

I'm optimistic about the changes!

I hope we can all work to make them the core of a new and gentler CF. lol

May the Lord bless you annd keep you Erwin
May He may your path smooth and bless you journey
May His richest blessings abide upon you and those you love
May you always be obedient to His calling on your life- what ever that means

I see a lot of people coming out of the woodwork on this announcement. Myself included...

It's definitely an interesting and needed change whatever it happens to be...

though the woodwork was a fun place to hang out

And yes, this is a completely unilateral decision on my part with no consultation with either staff or members - I will take any and all criticism for this decision, and will be responsible for any negative fall-out from this. For good or bad, CF WILL be different after 07/07/07.

Here !!!

God is in control...

God Bless,

Ty

 

[Redguard]

Why are mods quitting before seeing what the end-result of the changes are?

Oh well.

I've never had a problem with CF, so I doubt I'll have any problems after DoomsDay (7-7-7).

 

[Tonks]

Looking forward to seeing what the changes are.

GOD BE PRAISED!

Thank you, Erwin.

Erwin, I'm looking forward to the changes! Thank you for grabbing hold of the reins once again! Be brave and be strong in the Lord!

I pray for your wisdom and peace during this time.

(Please don't sell-off CF, ever!)

 

[snoochface]

Really glad to see you stepping back in, Erwin.

I'll be happy no matter what CF becomes, as long as you don't take away my Lost forum.

Praying for you and the site.

Erwin, I guess this is the 1st time that I've "met" you. But as my husband would say, I am addicted to CF. I have recently become a site supporter (I was having trouble getting it done before now) and I am happy to keep supporting CF. I am glad to help out in anyway I can here. I have even joined the CFPetRescuers. I look forward to the changes as there can always be an improvement in anything.

Keeping you and this whole situation in prayer.

This is wonderful news.
I really am looking forward to this. Even if I may be uncomfortable with something....once it's of God, it's a good thing.

 

[Swart]
