bumping thisWhat made CF what it is? What is it that really drew us in here? I know that a lot of us are upset about the changes, but we have to face this very important thing: we cannot change it. We are not in control.
I'm hoping that no one in the BE has abandoned CF, or is even considering doing so. I understand that it is difficult to navigate now. I understand that it doesn't feel the same. I understand that they took away our favourite features, and that this place may never feel quite the same again, no matter what we do.
But what makes CF, particularly the BE, what it is? What is it about CF that truly affected us and made us want to come here? People. Our friends. People that God sent into our lives to inspire us, encourage us, pray for us. Are you going to let the things going on blow you about so hard that you would abandon those you once called your friends? We are BE, are we not? I, for one, am sticking with it through thick and thin. For better or for worse, the BE is something precious to me. Remember these words?
"The BE is more than a forum, a sub forum, or anything else of the genre. It is a real community of real people, that were brought into each others' lives for a purpose."
Are you going to let that fall apart over an interface change? I'm not. God gave us CF for a reason! Even more specifically, the BE! Why do we fellowship in the threads here? The same reasons we fellowship in real life. So please, come here and fellowship in remembrance of the old CF... don't abandon this place. Remember what makes the BE what it is; the people. Abandoning it won't make things better for those of us still here; it will only make them worse. Stick through them with us, as our friends. The changes may mean that this place won't ever feel quite the same again, but it could never even get anywhere close without our friends...
Blessings will be distributed regularly up to at least 500 posts.
I just want to know that everyone is still here.
May God bless and keep you all.
No it won't!yep, but don't think it will ever be the same
Ironic there were many posts in the thread of people who were talking about "sticking around" and didn't stick around.bumping this
I really miss the old CF and BE!!
The big money threads were nuts! I remember one thread that went in about 33 minutes... 1000 posts.I remember those threads... Oh the fun times we had in the BE. I miss them. Does anyone remember Hollow's "Fellowship 'till 2008" type threads? If I remember right, he did one for just about every year. I loved those threads.
That was nuts!The big money threads were nuts! I remember one thread that went in about 33 minutes... 1000 posts.
