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.

It's because most of CF is dedicated to theologians who got their degree from Wikipedia discussing and rehashing the same 10 to 20 topics in various boards:
>Calvinism
>Eliminating cognitive dissonance over not celebrating Sunday anymore
>The Trinity and how Jesus is God
>The latest moral outrage (in the news)
>Something Paul said that Peter or James could probably have said more clearly
Other significant parts of the site are LDS, JWs, Muslims, and non-Christians who want us to know they don't agree with us, as well as to agree occasionally with each other. Their topics include:
>Hell, Hades, Sheol, and Heaven
>The early Church
>How Jesus isn't really God
>How the Bible contains errors and the Quaran doesn't
>occasionally, atheism
A while back, there was an influx of non-Christians all over the place. Don't know what happened to that.
Anyway, this leaves the Games area, where people seem to go and disappear once in a while, and the "social" forums. The social forums (such as the one you're in) generally include about 10 different topics, which get reborn every few months:
>masturbation and/or pornography
>random thread game which fails
>latest moral outrage
>men vs women, or complimentarianism vs egalitarianism
>masturbation again
Most people go to other forums to post mostly anything, and come to CF for one or two "special" things. It's a shame.
Tl;dr - It's quiet because nobody comes here anymore.

Thank you Kol for your time in answering my question. I'm pretty new here in CF. I've signed late of last year but just became quite active in "lurking" in different threads and posting in the "singles" thread.
It's interesting to read your post. So what was CF like before this existing "shameful" state we are in which you are suggesting.
I don't see anything wrong discussing all the things you have cited as these are vital issues to many Christians.
If I may ask, what's the ideal state CF should be? : )

^ I really like that quote. Happy people are the prettiest. Confident people as well. Sometimes a really confident person can make a semi-attractive body look absolutely awesome. Also, people should kiss a whole lot more.
