How is AFF doing???

Of the three (FCF, NFCF and AFF), I like AFF the best by far! I think that in the friendlier, less confrontational environment we have here, people have grown to know each other better and to care about one another more deeply. We can disagree now, and that's fine, but people are aware now that they are talking with other human beings who have feelings just like they do themselves.

That has gone a long way in keeping AFF a more peaceful kinda place. Plus, I think people have grown tired of constantly bickering over the same issues because there just doesn't seem to be as much in the way of standards talk as there used to be. But, the libs still get a chance to jab at the cons and vice versa, which is always fun. So, overall, me thinks I like it here.

You've made an important point here, Rico. I agree that in the past we've bickered over standards and other issues to the point that we've run them into the ground. We know that we aren't likely to change each other's minds about certain things. So let's move on. Enjoy and appreciate each other for who we are and where we are in our walks with God. Nothing wrong with good healthy discussion on these things, but I think most here have learned to do it tempered with love, for the most part.

Umm, Thad, have you considered that there might be a very good reason for that? If it only happened once or twice, you might say that Admin jumped the gun. But when it happens over and over, perhaps they have a legitimate reason. JMHO

- are there some pieces of the "big picture" puzzle that AFF is currently missing?
- what are some innovative ideas that could help us seperate ourselves from other forums?

*yes
*no
*I think AFF is very welcoming to new posters. Altho I do think that alot of that depends on the poster themself. If they come on here like a house afire, well, maybe we step back and put up our guard for a while. But that's just human nature.
*yes, I mention AFF to friends all the time. Sometimes you should see the looks I get when I mention "my forum"
*I don't know what innovative ideas separate us, but I do have a question about this cooling down area? I dont' get how that works? If you are relegated to that place, is that the ONLY place you are ABLE to post??

Multiple owners is a guarantee that no one person can walk away and close this forum. That is a GOOD thing.
Moderation isn't always a bad thing. I'd much rather have a place with moderation, than something where "anything goes" and it ends up being a bloodbath. If people were able to have a little more self control/self moderation, there wouldn't be so much admin intervention. JMHO. |
Amen, well-said, Tina
