Sexuality forums

[Inspired]

I don't think so. The chatbox is set up differently here than that. The fact that trolls will get in there and cause lots of trouble is the main reason for a chatbox to be rejected in there that I can think of.

I know it can be done with IRC, but I didn't know about the chat box, yea that would create alot of problems then.

I really like the idea of chat, but I really hate IRC, it's too easy to hack.

They're called sub-specialty mods at both boards where I mod. I am one myself at one and have one working under me at another. It sounds a bit nicer than "junior". LOL
It's worked out nicely for us, so far.

LOL we just called them chat mods I was just trying to make sure everyone understood what I was talking about.

Sorry.

Whatever we do we don't want to create a bunch more work and headache for Erwin, or the mods that work in that forum.

I think the sub forum for gay/lesbian/bisexual topics would be the way to go. In my opinion, having sticky threads seems way to cluttered. What happens when we get more than 500 posts in one thread? It's quite overwhelming, for me anyway. I'd rather have one idea per thread. Plus, there's always some sort of news concerning homosexuality. It just seems to get quite complicated if people have to post news and such under one thread. It would be massive. My poor brain is already stressed from school. lol.

Sorry.

What are you apologizing for?

Well, it's none of my business anyway.

Woh I don't know how, but my post ended up here twice. So uh, what do you guys think of a sub forum idea? lol.

I assume since Erwin knows so much about the coding, maybe he knows a good bit about IRC?

IRC would be perfect if we could find away to keep everyone's IP private, you would be able to assign chat mods that had no power at CF, they wouldn't be able to ban memebrs from CF but merely the chat room. We could dicuss all sorts of various topics, there would be no repeating of threads, the chat logs can be saved for those who wish too.

The hacking is my only concern.

It wouldn't totally solve the problems with the forums, but I think it would help a great deal.

CF has an IRC chatroom. Its in the list of forums.

Just showed up and haven't read much of the rest. It's quite obvious that orientation issues are the majority of the traffic, though. It also seems that many of the other threads could be neatly fit into the couples, marriage, men or women's forums with no problems. (Forgive me if I look like a big dork for laying that ingenius observation on everyone.... like I said, I'm a newcomer to this discussion!)

I preferred it, too, and the problems we were having were exactly the same as in the Science fora, except that it somehow mattered more in the Sexuality forum.

 

[Lanakila]

Maybe we could ask Erwin to move it into the S & C forum? But, its always empty. No one wants to go in and talk to themselves.

I know, but if it were to be for the S&C forum, we would need a seperate channel right, because as is the channel is open to everyone including younger members, right?


Would anyone want to use the IRC chat room? Has anyone ever used IRC and knows what it is?

We understand that. I just find these stickies too stifling. I think all of us just need to behave...(present company included ). I really do think a Sub-Forum can be the answer. If the Trolls come in...there is only one reason why...and they can be identified.

I know I am the odd man out here so to speak, but the more I think about it, i really don't want to be segregated off into the corner.

My comp won't support it, and I assume that others have old comps with little RAM?
The messageboard format is most doable for people with comp or neurological problems, or both.

In spite of Erwin's best efforts and that of the staff, many members here don't care to have all Christians united.

Ah but what if I told you that you can download a program called mirc for free which takes up less space than your graphics that will allow even a dinosaur 486 to log into IRC with no problems?

True and many would assume I would fall out of cyber space all together, but if I gave into what everyone else wants, I never would have come back to Christ, so I'm not going to start listening to them now.
