• 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.

"Curiouser and curiouser! now I'm opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!

"Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I'm sure I shan't be able! I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you: you must manage the best way you can; --but I must be kind to them, or perhaps they won't walk the way I want to go! Let me see: I'll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas.

"Oh dear, what nonsense I'm talking!"

From an AppDev perspective, the old forum had to go. That version of vBulletin was ancient and completely unmaintained and PHP is a horrible security nightmare and who knows how much SQL wizardry was needed to keep it functioning let along maintainable. I hear that, and people are always going to hate change.

That said, I'm annoyed that I can't preemptively judge people on icons. :p Also did a bunch of boards get merged into ours? I feel like the content is less interesting.

You missed all the excitement. The mods decided Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses were not Christian so they moved their threads over to the World Religion's forum.
