Anyone remember the Crosswalk forums?

I used to be a member of those forums long ago. Then...they shut it down, the site it still up though for other purposes...but I vaguely remember the reason having possibly to do with people discussing hot button topics that overwhelmed the message boards?

I low-key remember the name 'Crosswalk' but other than that, nope. I remember the Christian chatrooms on MSN. I got saved on one, I think it was called Prayer Warriors. Many years ago now and sadly I lost the piece of paper with the date on it. It is probably still in my old Bible in another part of the country so maybe I will get it back someday. Online ministry saves lives.

I was very active on that forum, got to know a few people including Fritz. I came by way of Christianity.com; which then merged with Crosswalk and Crown Financial to make the faith community forums. What happened was Salem Communication (radio chain) bought them all up and then took the whole forum to Facebook. (I think they are still there) Before that transition they/we were over 100k members.

Anyone remember:
Beliefnet ??
It still exists but no input blogging.
They now ADVERTISE.
My guess: They sold their HUGE international data base!
Beliefnet

I was always impressed with Fritz taking the time to email and even post in threads.

The hot topics were HOT! Virtually no moderation. They sent out a message to members when they sold that mentioned the reason. Don't remember.
