actually, no. The SITE SUPPORTERS paid for all of this. People who have put money in Erwins pocket for a CHRISTIAN forum.

Ok, that ticked me off lol.
He didnt rob you of anything. He owns it. How rude can you be? He payed for CF, and he payed for the new domain name.
Respectfully my friend I don't remember you making the same argument on 777. Actually unless I remember incorrectly you were very in favor of those changes. Those of course came about because of "whining" as well.
what i would like to know is why would the owner of this board profess to be Christian, only to make this board secular?
What is the motivation?
I havent seen 1 word answering this very valid question. I've seen a lot of hem-hawing and thats it.
I personally wonder if Erwin IS or ever WAS a christian or part of an intentional undermining of the church
Whats the motivation erwin? Money?
Do you have more atheistic and wiccan supporters than Christian supporters? Whats up?
AGain Jim, Noone's against him for CHANGE, the issue is WHICH DIRECTION HE CHANGED IT TO.After watching Christians whining around CF for the past few years, what can Erwin do? Christians whine and he is only one person. Self-governing is the only solution. If Christians didn't whine and actually helped Erwin solve whining issues.
yES, ATHEISTS ARE SALIVATING AT THIS.
It isn't. ALL that is required to do so is to eliminate the following attitude entirely:From my perspective it seems the whole "uniting all Christians" was impossible.
There can be no unity where everyone is seeking whom to exclude.The Christians here were so bent on grouping people as "true Christians" and not "true Christians".
Nail, head, bang. Revelation 13 baby.Christianity can not and never will be united. Not because people don't dream of unity but because Christians clearly are counter productive regarding such a noble endeavor.
I am shocked but not surprised.
The site is much more sale-able now Erwin give it a few months and all those Bible believing Christians will go away and then you will have something worth selling.
Not to worry there are places to go
http:://www.conservative-christian-forums.com
http://www.christcenteredforums.com
http://www.carm.org
http://www.fresh-hope.com
http://hisholyspace.com
I encourage all Christians of good faith to go to these places to fellowship.
BTW Yes I am a principle at http://www.conservative-christian-forums.com and before a mod takes and removes that link your rules say I need a pecuniary interest in the site. CCF is free and we DO NOT accept donations. We would rather you feed the hungry and clothe the naked in your own community.
Praying for your soul Erwin. Blow the dust off your Bible there is something there you need to see:
Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Pastor George
You do not know what you are talking about. I have viewed this place from the inside and out. To believe your analogy I would need to believe the man was simply stupid. I may not like these moves but I would not call him stupid in any way. He is smart as a fox maybe. I do not know. Time will tell. The truth always comes out in time and there is much more here than meets the eye...After watching Christians whining around CF for the past few years, what can Erwin do? Christians whine and he is only one person. Self-governing is the only solution. If Christians didn't whine and actually helped Erwin solve whining issues.
From my perspective it seems the whole "uniting all Christians" was impossible.
The Christians here were so bent on grouping people as "true Christians" and not "true Christians".
If this started out as a dream to unite the reality seems to have set in. Christianity can not and never will be united. Not because people don't dream of unity but because Christians clearly are counter productive regarding such a noble endeavor.
I don't think this has anything to do with trying to appeal to these people or those people it was a unattainable dream. And this becomes obvious when reading the posts by Christians.
Yup, I was one of them. Truth was deemed "heresy" because it exceeded that which could be comprehended on the spiritual equivalent of the kindergarten level. I left for a time. I came back post-7/7/7 and found all this.alot of the Christian complaints WERE VALID - I know some great believers that left after getting warnings for preaching TRUTH here
Hi everyone
Yes, as you can see, Christian Forums is now called Foru.ms, and the new web address is the same as the name, "foru.ms" - short, simple and to the point.
This name change has been suggested to me by several members and is in line with the recent changes to the direction of the website.
In summary:
Name:
Foru.ms
Slogan:
Forums-based Social Networking For You
Vision:
An online forums-based self-governing social networking community guided by Christian principles for everyone.
Mission:
1. To establish and grow a self-governing community that is open to everyone guided by rules driven by Christian principles which are collaboratively agreed upon by all members, keeping in mind:
Gal 5:22-23 GNT But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. There is no law against such things as these.
2. To provide a meeting place for Christians to fellowship with one another and outreach to non-Christians, keeping in mind:
2 Cor 5:17-18 GNT Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come. All this is done by God, who through Christ changed us from enemies into his friends and gave us the task of making others his friends also.
The above statements summarises the new direction and vision of the site.
What does it all mean?
1. It means that all members will be given the power to self-govern by collaboratively working together with coming up with the rules for this whole community, including voting for their own moderators.
2. It means that members who want their particular forums to have certain restrictions may do as this is part of self-governance. Sub-forums members will be able to develop their own rules and choose their own moderators.
3. It means that this site will be continue to be open to people from all backgrounds and give them the opportunity to interact.
From a practical point of view, everything should really function as before prior to the name and vision change, except that now we have a much broader vision and goal than before.
Thank you for all your patience. It's 12:30 am here now and I have an all-day medical conference tomorrow (yes, on Sunday) to attend so I need to sleep - I hope to check up on Foru.ms to ensure everything is going okay.
Feel free to discuss this change in this thread.
