  • 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.

Umm, actually, you are in one now! Maybe this forum can grow into the role?

We tried to start one at media4God.com and e4God.com but could not raise enough interest.

We wanted it to be a search and share site. Some webmasters would give images or code or advice, and others could search and download it... etc...

What we found was that webmasters, even christian webmasters, or especially christian webmasters, seem to want to take, but not to give. Weird.  Our effort along these lines flopped because we did not create a lot of downloadable content. We were trying to create the playground, and a sharing library, but nobody came...  We could not promote the site in usual web manner of cross promotion among similar sites because christian sites, like churches, are very protective of their flocks. 

So we converted to a free forums and free blogs program, while offering low cost hosting and web services to christian webmasters.  (At least for now - we are waiting tp see what God wants to do with it)

In the secular sites, there is no protective instinct toward "our flock" and loads of cross promotion with similar sites... Then there is a load of sharing, donating of scripts, code, images, etc... but not on christian webmaster sites.  Wonder why ? ? ?

Ideas?

Let's see. I help run a forum with Four out of Six Christian webmasters. Eight of the eleven Moderators are Christians and although we aren't a religious forum (actually a Harry Potter Forum. No comments about Satan please), there is a large religious community and we have a large off topic area dedicated to discussing religion, science & so on.
