people who have not been here long, don't seem to understand the lose we feel. i wonder how erwin is feeling today? think he's happy?

[GreenMunchkin]

Tell your friends!Ha! Winner of the Funniest Line of the Year Award.

Seriously, what would you have us tell them? :)

[DedicatedLittleFaith]

i wonder how erwin is feeling today? think he's happy?

That is very hard to say.

Surely he must be uncomfortable with all the upset going on around,,,

but then again, this upset has been going on for a month,,, and he has made things worse.

For the record, I am not attacking Erwin personally. I do feel he has deceived us and lied to us, as I am more and more convinced that these chages have absolutly NOTHING to do with any members who were upset about something, or things, but rather that this has everything to do with personal struggles.

It is my firm convinction that Erwin has either loosing faith, or already lost it. And Erwin, I am praying very hard for you. :hug:

I like this site, getting a lot help from recovery forum,and if it is becoming social forum, i just want it will not become another myspace forum.

question :If I m doing a google search for a Christian forum, can I still find foru.ms? If so, I will still feel happy.

cuz I agree christian church should open the door to everyone.:)

[Radiata]

I just got 5 referrals because I brought CHRISTIANS over here. Now they are all disapointed in what I participate in.

How do I vote for option 2?

[DedicatedLittleFaith]

You can no longer vote for option 2, that poll was closed and completly ignored.

What you can do is sign the petition to bring the name back. :)

[restore]

where is the petition?

i do not know what the lord is doing, I m just confused, but maybe God has arrangement Himself, i m a new christian baby ,
this site helped me so much, i m also a survivor of many things, also got some healing here.
Lord, i just want to pray to know your direction, amen

[DedicatedLittleFaith]

Petition is here. (http://foru.ms/t5937679-official-petition-to-bring-back-christian-forums.html)

Stormy, I can't begin to describe how I feel. :sigh:

Only the rocks live forever.

This too shall pass.

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end.


As for Erwin, since this was his decision, I assume he is feeling fine.

$7,000.00 would have bought a lot of food for a lot of starving children.

:(

[Addicted2~Jesus]

I think we can all whisttel dixie on havin the name changed back er anythin else for that matter. That poll was a joke an Erwin knew it when he started it.. because.... drum roll please... he bought this domain the day BEFORE he started the poll... now why would any HONEST person knowinly spend the 7 grand on a domain jes to the next day say well if it's sumthin the community wants to do etc.... he knew he was goin to change it over an it didn't make a hill of beans to em bout the fall out. I stuck up for the man even after the 777 ordeal wit many of the changes I didn't like, an boom... we find out he'd been plannin it... talkin bout feelin like a major ass....

[GreenMunchkin]

Incidentally, what's the deal with "foru.ms"? What makes it worth $7000?! Does .ms have some sort of webby cache? Or are the hearty giggles in the foru bit? If it's a play on ForU, it's not nearly as clever as it apparently seemed. It's an embarrassment. Seriously, baffled by that. In a cake that tastes revolting, that's the acrid, moldy cherry on top.

and don't forget the deep brown stuff under the cherry as well.

[FriendsFellowship]

he bought this domain the day BEFORE he started the poll.

He bid on the name DAYS before the poll closed. He obtained it the day before the poll closed. :confused:

But why *this* address? Is there something clever about it that I don't get? Or was it just the most generic one available?

[Addicted2~Jesus]

I show it havin been bid on the 26 wit no other bidders an of course it closed on the 2nd. I'd be hard pressed to figure out the poll stuff at the moment, I'll havta go look at it

Description Can be used to list every known Forum on the site. Unlimited possibilities. Great name. Marketable. Great keyword. Blo.gs sold for $5,000,000.00

Saddly, I think it says all that any of us need to know bout what CF has become.

[stray bullet]

Erwin, I'm just curious, but how much (if any) of the site supporters money did you spend buying the new domain?

[Vylo]

WoW 5 years old.

Night of the living thread!

Been here for 4 of those years too.

Someone else mentioned the subdomains available:

christian.foru.ms
anythingelseyoucouldpossiblywant.foru.ms

Plus, like you said somewhere else, forums is a common search word...once google gets ahold of this site, or any of its subdomains...

Good grief, if he needed money that badly, he should have asked us. People here would have done anything to help. But I suppose foru.ms is a sound financial investment :( Lots of business acumen; none spiritual.

I think that too, and I keep hoping I'm assuming wrong...but that's the conclusion I came to as well. And Erwin's not here to tell us whether we're correct or not. :sigh:

[MaraPetra]

Don't worry about the "spirit" of the site. It's been sucked dry as of about 14 hours ago.

This site already comes up if you search the exact name, but not on the top of the list I'm afraid.

That is truely THE question of all questions.

At least part of the $7,000.00 came from google. But I would venture to say a substantial amount came from site supporters.


The pain of it, God help us. :sigh:

[Addicted2~Jesus]

You know for me, it's not even the money involved, I don't care if it were 7 dollars er a million it doesn't matter, I cain't git over the hurt/fact that he did all of this in deceit. That may be a harsh charge but it is very eviedent he was goin to do this wit er witout the approval of the community, he's alienated ever Christian on this site who not only supported em fincially but in prayer an standin up for his decisions when they weren't popular. I wasn't happy bout all the changes after 777 but I stood up for them in the hopes that it actually was a new beginnin er era of CF, not completely tankin everthin altogeather. He bid on this domain on the 26th, then started a poll on the 27th... now why would anyone bid 7 grand on a domain name if they didn't intend on obtainin it er usin it? Jes a dark sad deceitful day....
