• 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.

I understand the whole timezone thing and why it might take a little while. But... weeks? Sorry if I'm being impatient but the teen forums disappeared rather abruptly with not warning or explanation until this thread (that i found). Maybe if you had made an announcement BEFORE taking the forum offline and then welcomed input from teens and other users instead of just being like "Ok we're the dictators here so this is what we're going to do and you're going to like it or else just leave". Ok maybe that's putting it a bit harshly, but really if you think about it... people like to have some say in what goes on. Of course we'll give you the final desicion because it is you guys who are in charge, but the forum was made FOR users, NOT administration. If the users don't get what they want, they will leave and find somewhere else to go.

Anyway, if that was rude or disrespectful or anything, I'm sorry. Just getting things off my mind.

The problem is, none of this happened how we expected. If there had been time to warn everyone that Teens was going offline, there would have been time to fix the problem before it even started. However, there wasn't. For a better idea of what happened though, there are a couple posts that will explain a bit more of what went on. :)
Here and Here.
