AFF has turned into an instant messaging tool where people talk about silly, inconsequential, feminine things instead of the religious site it was intended to be.
The level of intelligent discourse has descended into the abyss.
All of this is not to say I don't enjoy a good laugh.
But when the entire premise of the forum is utter idiocy, and every substantial thread ends in either extramarital flirting and/or atheistic and/or agnostic posters tearing down Christianity as a whole, I think the original purpose of this forum is perverted.
I love the owners and admin here, but the site is failing.
That's why I rarely post.
And friends, I am nowhere close to an ultracon.

I do agree with you--and the loss is due, in large part, to the conservative voices that have left, and even some not-so-conservative voices. But they didn't leave because of frivolous conversations, did they? The forum always had the silly threads. It's just that there was more balance when everyone was posting their views.
Personally, I miss the "Posse", rrford, Carpenter, Newman, even Chancellor (on my really magnanimous days.)
There are plenty of Apostolics still on this forum, but the most vocal conservatives are MIA, and that did provide balance--and served to stimulate conversation.
Of course, there isn't anything at all wrong with silly, feminine, inconsequential discussions, especially those regarding shoes.
BUT, I certainly don't come to the AFF for
that.
