• 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

What disturbs you?
The new Timeline feature and some of the apps that go with it, some articles are alluding to them working like current news apps where it will auto post without your approval places you've been, music you've listened to, articles you've read etc. This has already been incorporated into some of the games the autoposting which is why I quit those on FB. And it makes sense with their usual view on privacy.

Sorry but ya'all don't need to know if I read an article or visit a site every time I surf the net. Mix that possibility with the other thing people have complained about with FB tracking you on the web even if you are logged out with cookies and yeah. I'll take my chances for now with G+ and if they get that bad then there's always deleting all of em lol

Of course they may not follow through considering the drama and backlash such features could create for people and the company but I haven't trusted them for a while and only visit it once a day usually to look for a couple friends on chat. So wont be a big loss for me anyways.

Edit: Link to one of the articles I mentioned. Read in FB apps

IJWTS: Thanks to whoever wrote brief, encouraging, spiritual messages on sidewalks all over campus last night. Really thoughtful of you/y'all. You should do it again. I really appreciated it walking between classes today.

While that does seem to be a possible annoyance, if you don't use the apps, it won't post anything on you. You have to use the Spotify or Netflix or whatever apps first. If I read a news article like I always do off of my news feed from Slate, then it won't show up as anything. I'm going to give it a chance before I formulate any opinions on it.

IJWTS that my pants were slipping off a little (they are a tiny bit baggy on me right now) and it reminded me how much I liked living alone and not wearing pants around the apartment. And that made me think of Thunder Peel. :D

IAJWTS that cleaning is kind of therapeutic. I feel better after a bit of cleaning.

Sounded a bit more intrusive to me but yeah not a fan anyways, only joined for some family/friends originally. I'll see what people are saying when it goes live then decide on restarting it.

IJWTS - I think there should be a matchmaker thread where you match people's personality letters (like ISFJ's or whatever) to whatever personality letters they're compatible with. :satisfied:


I think Alex (why can't I think of his s/n right now?) would love to be in charge of that thread :D
