I remember that I so miss the Avatar that I had before. It was an Indian woman in a pink sari.

Some people did screen shots of their avatar and still use them as pictures here

Probably when the owner temporarily changed the name to foru.ms and there was a huge revolt and many left for good because they saw the writing on the wall. I didn't know the owner but many of us thought he was "selling out" and in it for the money. My concern over it all was that even though Christians were still the backbone of the forum over time without Christ in the name of the forum that Jesus would slowly vanish more and more from the center and in time this would be just another forum.
I'm not overly thrilled the way things have gone but it is still a place that the lost can find faith in Jesus and that does account for something. I don't see the Christian part of the forum growing much here as way too much of hte forum daily posts are politics which too often involve a lot of ugly rhetoric that when constantly reading it irritates any rational believer and wears them out and they leave. Since the fun is gone there is little alternative as areas the have people talking about God and lifting each other up are struggling to compete with those who want to tear down the world and eject Godly principles.

interesting to hear about the changes and I do remember the change of the name and a lot of people leaving. I kind of might have also lost interest since there was less of Jesus. It was a great place for fellowship. I was really far out in the country and didn't have as much physical fellowship and it was something I look forward to after a long day at work.

I also remember that and it was so much fun. I've only met two people in person and multiple people I've talked to outside the forum. I think I might remember an invite from Facebook but never really got into it.

I've not met anyone but have a few friends still in my thread that post some.

This owner is the 4th that I've known and not the worst but I don't expect any major changes so far most of it has been about moderating all the debates here this place is fueled by controversy.

I'm watching my church service online right now.

so many blessings per post that you could spend on stuff when they had the dolls and you had to pay for an avatar and could customize your font and text color and a lot of stuff

Ah, those were the days!

It was a blast, if blessings had some worth and they didn't nerf the post statistics I would host a thread and give blessings for each post in the thread like we used to.

 

[Sophrosyne]

Yeah they even had a streaming chat box that wasn't totally lame

Nice. I never thought of that. Too late :-(

Me too! but I don't have internet from home, just limited data on my phone. So I have to go to my parents house on Sundays to watch church and do Bible study. Not too bad because I can still visit with them too.

I have a screen shot of my silly avatar but I wasn't into that stuff I did one because someone talked me into it.

My phone plan is 6Gb and I mostly use data on my wifi at home so I rarely use over a few hundred megs a month. What irritates me is I used to be able to watch on my computer but they changed streaming services and my old computer doesn't work now so I'm watching on my phone using data. I'm old school these smart phones are a little new to me only had one for a few years now.

You what have to refresh my memory and tell me what your username was? Sometimes I recognized it by the avatar. I wish I still had my avatar I loved it.

I think it was something like Searcher or SearcherKris. My avatar was like an outdoor wooded area with me holding a marshmallow on a stick.

Again, I feel like I'm a very different person now. It might be good to just get to know me at this point.

I still haven't got the hand of typing on a smart phone I prefer my ancient 101 key keyboard on my computer.
