The big money threads were nuts! I remember one thread that went in about 33 minutes... 1000 posts.
I like crazy threads..... hang out in one all the timeYeah those were some crazy threads...and at the end, we'd all be post 1000!!! only to find out it was not you that time.....but happy for your BE/CF bro and sis that won instead! don;t think those will ever happen again!

Oops! I keep forgetting to collect my pay. I don't think I've collected it in over a year.yup those were the days when your collecting your CF job pay meant something and scavenging for blessings was like finding coins in the sofa when I was growing up.
why bother? It is not like you have millions already with nothing to do with themOops! I keep forgetting to collect my pay. I don't think I've collected it in over a year.
Amen!What 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...
I just want to know that everyone is still here.
May God bless and keep you all.
Amen!I've been reading through a number of the update type threads and some of the other threads about the update; and one thing i've come across several times is that CF is "just" a messageboard ..... for me, and i think many others, it is much more than this. It's a place where we find fellowship; a place where we have friendship; somewhere to share, to minister, to laugh together; a place to bless each other; a place to come when we have great news to share; a place to come when we are hurting; a place of support; a place to ask for prayer; a place to discuss things on our mind including questions we have; a place to share our walk with God. So, for me those things make it much more than "just" a messageboard. And when things aren't going right; like during times of updates and changes, it can feel like a threat to all those things which make CF, CF for us.
For me, the BE has been my favourite place because of the fellowship threads we've had here, and the people i've been getting to know.... I hope, they will change the forum description to reflect what the BE is - nobody answered my question on that in the Q&A thread. I can't remember what we had there before, but thought it was different? or if not it should be; because its more than what was said there .... and I miss our forum logo as well
We're still here.Me too!
