• 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.

Apologies: Recent Minor Outages

Over the past 2 days there has been 2 new releases of forum software, as well as new server software releases and a new server kernel.

As such, CF has been offline for a few minutes here and there as I spend time upgrading and securing the CF server.

I can now say that I've finally done all of it. :)

I apologise for any downtime. The server *should* be a bit quicker now.

Sorry, the server crashed, and we were offline for ?1 hour just now? I only found out just now and hard to manually reboot the hardware.

Things should be online now. :)

I also seem to have stopped getting that "bleeding page" thing using MSN explorer. Good work!

Every time I notice CF is off line I have flashbacks to the Crash of '03...
:shivers:

The big crash... we lost 250,000 posts and 2,000 member information then... yikes!

Erwin, i wasnt here for it and things are running great.. but i was here for an upgrade a while back and i had just typed somethin really long and when i went to post i lost it.. needless to say it was frustrating, i was wondering when your about to do upgrades if you can alert everyone as to when, whether it be an announcement on the home page, or a MASS PM?
