• 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

Erwin decided that since this is no longer a Christian site for Christian fellowship, he changed the name. He wants this site to be more about outreach to non-Christians and the new name reflects that change in mission.

If the new name relects that mission, what exactly does FORU.MS stand for? I figure the site's "for u", but ms always reminds me of multiple sclerosis. The period in mid-word also confuses me. It seems to unnecessarily and unnaturally divide the word into two parts.

The name changed and most of everyone packed their bags and left.


Would the last one leaving CF please turn out the lights?

I agree with you. It seems to be a sinking ship. And it's going to spiral because so many people left, and then the people who didn't leave yet (like myself) are getting bored because now the forums are not very active, so I come here must less often (and I bet others do too) and so it goes.

OK. But before I go I would like to say just this:

Where did the beautiful people
Put all their beautiful things?
The love that we carried on banners of smiles
And the songs that we all used to sing?

And when did the bright sunlight morning
Turn to a dull rainy day?
And why were the hours we shone here like flowers
So easily taken away?

So where did beautiful people
Put all their beautiful things?
The love that we carried on banners of smiles
And the songs that we all used to sing?
