• 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 know it's none of my business but what do you do for a living ?

I mean this poor little forum of ours is fallen on hard times

It's just 100 pages of you with no one commenting on any of your posts.

Are you a bot ?

Just asking.

You know, old times sake and that sort of thing.

You got a point. Friend of mine put up a seriously good post and it was run off the bottom of the list before maybe one or two got a chance to see it.

Perhaps people are just too lazy to respond? The view-count for recent threads is around 100-200. Unless these numbers are somehow not reliable...

It was not a busy time of day, early morning, if I remember right, and it was visible maybe a half hour max. That time, Mitchie hadn't posted as many all at once, so it wasn't so bad, but still.... just sayin'

I don't know how the view count is conducted or if that's an average or what, but I bet there are some that very few ever see, and the featured ones, of course, get seen by a lot of people.

I don't think it's an average since it's specified for each thread, here for "Christian Scriptures" for example:

All the threads within the last 7 days got 100+ calling ups. But I agree with you in general that there is a lack of activity here. :)

You’re right. None of your business and I know the intent but-

I’m sorta shocked to hear from you Charlie. Last post you made you said you’d never return. But I’m glad to see you. Hope all has been well with you. I do art and antiques. I thought you knew that. Right now, I’m working with a gallery. I’ve not been working out of the home base of my business due to Covid. I’m not essential these days. I hope this helps. :)

I'm quite sure Michie is alive and well. From bits and pieces I've read on the forum I think she's American, a lady in her forties, with a family, and I think a journalist by trade, hence her frequent posts, which quite often are links to other articles. I believe she moved address not so long ago, and she isn't looking forward to getting her jab, since she doesn't like needles.

And she has a sense of humour, so she's not a bot!!

As someone who sometimes posts on this and a few other selected forums, I'm not always interested in the topic. If there's been a million posts already on a topic, I'm not likely to add a millionth plus one.

If Michie wasn't here, the Catholic sub-forum would be very quiet.

You know how it is.

You get old. You get nostalgic.

The guy on the keyboard is killing me off everywhere on the 'net.

2cos is already whacked out.

But he had to come back and look one more time.

He got involved with a crew after the insurrection. January 6 evidence explorer.

We're being doxxed by your basic Alt Right types. Needs to submerge a little.

Anyway, I had a heart ablation a couple of years ago, a septic infection, an internal bleed (that was my fault actually) and a knee replacement but...

...seriously I'm fine, better than fine, capital in fact.

Good to see you, say hi to anyone who actually remembers me.

Take care and may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

So sorry to hear about your health issues. Glad you are feeling so well. A blessed Holy Week and glorious Easter to you.

God bless you.
