• 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

Thread enhancing game!! 500 blessings!

This game was thought of by someone brilliant, but I dare not name him in case this game turns out to be illegal.....


Everyone loves thread highjackers! Sometimes threads are SO boring, they go on & on about nothing, till they die of acute expiration of interest.

For this game, you are to go to page 10 or so of any given forum index, find some dead old thread that hasn't been closed, but hasn't had any action for at least a month. The winner will successfully resurrect a deceased thread, chattering on & on about something wildly unrelated to the OP or title. As soon as someone posts a response--to your off topic post, not to the title or OP, you are well on your way! be the first to do this to 9 other threads, posting here ten links to your Phoenix thread & get 500 blessings.

500!!




wowie!

Gotcha!

*MOD NOTE

There are actually CF rules that can be used to determine if your "off topic" posting in these old threads violates the guidelines here. No matter what the age of the thread is, to divert from the topic and post irrelevant information can be classed as spamming, and by doing so you run the risk of being reported by other members and having posts deleted or possibly being warned, depending on whether you've had posts removed in the past. I'd say that the vast majority of members do not appreciate people who post meaninglessly and off topic, so I'd encourage you to consider whether activities liek this are in the true spirit of CF :) Thanks

You could change the rules (make a new post too) and have it that we have to resurect a dead thread in keeping with the original post and have 2 people reply to it. That would not be in violation of the rules and actually add to the activity of the forum. :D

We could have a lurking thread - one that just shows up from time to time and adopts the topic of whatever the poster posts, and call it the lurker - put one on each forum

hey dead bird guy! Didja see my little assasin? I'm an elite commando, killing virtual people for the government of CF! I don't know who or why I'm killing, I just follow orders!

I'm the most efficient killer CF has ever unleashed on a virtual populace! With my broom & my sharp stick I am exceedingly dangerous, APPROACH WITH CAUTION! Don't make any sudden moves around me & don't try to sneak up on me, it might be the last thing you ever do!

I asked only for your obedience, not you commentary. You are in danger of insubordination. Do not make me repeat my order. Comply!
