erwin said:FWIW, I never thought of changing the name of the site until the suggestion in this thread and the results of this poll.
Erwin said:It makes no sense to change the site name and domain name as we are ranked number one on all search engines because of it, and it is what brings all the traffic.
Thank you PGP, I had read some of it, but it was good to read it again...Did you read this posting ?

Amen AGthats why i left, this is actually the only thread i read, and i used to be here for hours every day.
i have been lied to so many times in my life, so even a little lie will get me mad, this kind of behavior from a webmaster, now i will never be able to trust him, Lord forgive me, but i am hurt enough
gOD BLESS YOU TO BRO!Amen AG
God bless you
I have been doing a lot of thinking about this whole situation. Not to mention a whole lot of praying. I was intially hurt, angry, and even confused about the changes here at the foru.ms. I still want to call it CF. But it is not CF anymore, and there is a new vision. I don't know how this will work out. Erwin may find that it falls flat on it's face. But as I was praying, one thing kept tugging at my heart. Preach the gospel to all creatures. Over and over that kept running through my mind. And I thought maybe this isn't a such bad vision. I know many here would like to keep this as a strictly christian site. well just as sinners most likely will not walk into a church, they will not walk into a christian site. We have to go to them and meet them where they are. There is a "GO" in preach the gospel. We tend to want to run our little clicks here and be around like minded people, but we forget amongst all the debate to do what God has called us to do. He didn't say go debate with your brethren. Maybe we should give this new vision of Erwin's a chance. I know, and I agree the way Erwin has gone about it is wrong and it seems like there is broken promises everywhere. But if God can use a donkey to speak, He can use this new vision to fulfill His will. And His will is that all men might be saved.
Many people are leaving because the name has changed or thinking about leaving. Heck, I have even thought about it. But because of the argument of some I have made up my mind to stay and see this through. Because the only way we can make a difference is to stay and fight th4e good fight. NOT ERWINS FIGHT, NOT FOR ERWIN'S VISION!!!! BUT RATHER, FOR GOD'S.
GO!!! PREACH THE GOSPEL TO ALL CREATURES!!! That is what I am going to do. I am through with the arguing, moaning, and complaining, and I am going to follow the cloud in the new direction it is leading. We all know we live in the end times and there is a job to do. Maybe we should get to doing it so that great revival can come to pass.
steps away from the soap box and goes to the misson fields. ....God Bless ALL!!!

and please tell me what is the accepted gospel of this foru.ms? it appears to be christ-not-needed. someone please throw a blanket over that bearded dude! hide the cross!
ok... now we're ready for company.
It is up to us to lift Christ up...He is not in a name of some website....He has risen again and now sits at the right hand of God. That is the message WE need to bring to this site. WE have an oppertunity to glorify God and lift up the King of Kings. We should rejoice at that and not be like the Isrealites were when they wandered around a mountain. God tried to lead them in a new way and there was much complaining. Look what happened to them. I for one don't and won't take the chance of missing out on the promised land. Destination...Heaven!and please tell me what is the accepted gospel of this foru.ms? it appears to be christ-not-needed. someone please throw a blanket over that bearded dude! hide the cross!

The decision has been made by the owner of the site. Do you really think all the complaining is going to change his mind? We have one of two choices....leave the site or accept it and move on.I agree that the gospel should be ministered everywhere. But that has little bearing on whether the changes to CF should've been made and whether or not they should be reversed.
I'm starting to wonder if some people want a site like this --> Christ Only

or try to effect a prover biblical change and only leave when we absolutely fail or are censored and bannedThe decision has been made by the owner of the site. Do you really think all the complaining is going to change his mind? We have one of two choices....leave the site or accept it and move on.
Amen my friend and i stand with youIf you want to sit back and let Christ be pushed to the SECONDARY purpose of this site (apparently "Social Networking" is now the primary purpose) then you go right ahead. I, however, will stand up for God until they ban me.
But if we lift Christ up to those that will come He is not the secondary purpose. I am sorry but the old CF is gone. We have to make do with what we got. And I still say what we got is an oppertunity to lift Christ up and reach those that will come and are already here. Do you really think we are glorifying God by complaining. No....We weren't lifting up God when it was the old CF, all we did was argue with one another. Do you think that ministered to the lost? No!!! They turned tail and run out. All I am say is we have an oppertunity here. An oppertunity where the lost very well may come to us now. I understand Erwin's thinking now. Although I agree it should have came about differently. But things happen the way they happen. We have to make the best of it now.
