• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It is drawing people away from CF and onto another website.

It's obvious that forum traffic is down because of Skype.
I don't see how the Skype thread is drawing people away. Skype itself may be but even the CF profile allows you share your Skype info.

I don't care if they close down the Skype thread. We are all already on each other's contact lists. And I've been PMing new members about joining us in Skype. It's been a wonderful way to get to know each other on a new level that I've never experienced by just posting on the forum.

It's been a major blessing.

IJWTS I really just need out of sanitary Christianity for a while. Is there somewhere in Christianity for blue collar types who drink too much beer and could out curse a sailor, while they learn?

Like an intro or another culture?

Skype is an IM program not a website. Its no different than a few years ago when all the CFers were meeting for group chats on MSN and site traffic didn't suffer then.

Likely traffic is down because CF has been slowly dying for a long time and people have already gone elsewhere :sorry:

Six hours trying to measure vegetation composition with the most infuriatingly "not bothered" individual is not very productive. You cannot do the work with one person, it needs two to actively work and do it properly. You have to get down onto the ground and touch stuff, no good standing up and guessing.

IJWTS - I also just got one of the weirdest letters in my life. :o
IAJWTS - it's been a day of gifts: I got to see a good friend and she gave me a rosary LOL. xD

Your letter intrigues me... Thou shall share it with me :preach:

IJWTS~ Trying to figure out tax stuff has gotten me a bit jittered today. I live in one state, but only did work in a different state, and am not sure if I even have my W-2 sent from it or not yet. And I'm supposed to have my taxes done by next Monday to make sure my FAFSA stuff is covered. Good thing I got God on my side.

IJWTS-I went out to the Christian bookstore to finish up my Secret Cupid shopping and rescued three interesting books from the bargain bin. So my Cupid stuff is now completed, but I'm not feeling good right now. I hope its just the big ice blast coming back for round 2 that's making me feel blah. :(
