• 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.

Many times it's asked in the Forum Questions area about how one can have their name changed.

The standard answer is to PM either myself or oncewaslost with your name request. I usually ask members to provide 1 or 2 alternates in case their original choice was taken.

However, there is an additional point to make.

User names are real serious business.

We do make name changes for members because a name no longer suits them, they're being bothered online from non-CF members, or they misspelled something in their name.

However, user names are not to be treated as something that can be changed as regularly as one's mood.

If you want to express a special name because of a thread or something said in the Chat Box or IRC chat, it's best that goes in your signature or your user title.

Thanks. :)
