• 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

Can someone explain this thread to me?

What is the point of it?

Its a secret code. Basically, instead of writing a sentence, you just use the first letter of each word. For instance:

tbsotbd hbwaa hhws hldoafdtr "Decoded" it reads:

The boy stood on the burning deck. His body was all a-quiver. His head was soft. His leg dropped off and floated down the river.

Yes, I understand the concept of it - just not the point. It's not like anyone is going to figure out anyone else's secret - there's no challenge, no code to crack - just a bunch of letters to all but the person posting them. That, or exaggerated guesswork:

I M T

Could mean:

I masturbated tonight
I made tacos
I miss Tanja
I might tell
I mated Tristen

etc. On a board meant to communicate thoughts/ideas, I don't understand the purpose of it, that's all.

There isnt a real purpose to it, I suppose. Maybe just the humorous combinations that enter people's minds.
