Or Renda.

I think one of my many usernames is an owner of this site. I can't really remember. Are you wanting to give the owner a lot of money? That might refresh my memory.

Bishop Cleatus, you are cool.

I would have to guess you are Praxeus.

While I revere Praxeas greatly and consider him borderline genius .... alas, I am not he. Him. Whatever.

I was just curious if this site was wholly independent, or the intellectual property of a private individual(s).

WHY DO YOU BOB YOUR HAIR, GIRLS

Why do you bob your hair, girls?
You're doing mighty wrong;
God gave it for a glory
And you should wear it long .
You spoil your lovely hair, girls,
You keep yourself in style;
Before you bob your hair, girls,
Just stop and think a while.

Why do you bob your hair, girls?
It is an awful shame
To rob the head God gave you
And bear the flapper's name.
You're taking off your covering,
It is an awful sin;
Don't never bob your hair, girls,
Short hair belongs to men.

Why do you bob your hair, girls?
It does not look so nice;
It's just to be in fashion,
lt's not the Lord's advice.
And every time you bob it
You're breaking God's command
You cannot bob your hair, girls
And reach the Glory land.

Why do you bob your hair, girls?
It's not the thing to do;
Just wear it, always wear it,
And to your Lord be true.
And when before the judgment
You meet your Lord up there,
He'll say, "Well done, for one thing,
You never bobbed your hair.

A history of ownership of AFF would be an interesting post to read. Going back to the conservative UPC ministers that owned it with Renda in the beginning, to their their tulmultuous exit to start their own closed minister's only forum, which caused a swing to a more moderate/liberal forum, and then Renda's retirement leading to the current owners. :hypercoffee

It's definitely not a UPC pastor. I checked that, too. His or her home is worth a pretty penny, by RGV standards. I don't know anything about property values where the trail ends.

There are multiple owners to prevent what happened with Fairhchild, I believe that was the forums name.

Re: Who owns AFF?
 
Jim Yohe started FaithChild forum many years ago. He was UPC, leaning a bit to the left. He liked to stretch people's thinking......get them thinking outside the box. He was even known to get into "fights" or "arguments" with his own alter-persona just to stir things up a bit.

Jim Yohe passed away. FaithChild was then administered by ________ after Jim's passing. There was a bit of a falling out between the administrator and Jim's sister, so FaithChild was shut down.

Jim's sister, Vicki Yohe, started NewFaithChild Forum. She enlisted St.Matthew to be the administrator and Matt asked a few of us to be admins. Vicki found out something was going on "behind the scenes" with a couple posters and shut the place down. No warning - just shut it down.

So, the admins that were left valued the following and came up with AFF. We decided to keep from another forum being shut down due to one owner, that the smart thing to do was have several co-owners all accountable to each other. A couple of UPC pastors wanted in on the action and offered to pay for everything. We didn't allow that because we didn't want that held over our heads if things weren't going like they wanted. We were "co-owners". And, what money they put into it was reimbursed in time with money that we made from ads on AFF.

There was yet another "parting" of the more conservative side of the owners and I was given a heads-up that they were shutting down NFCF. I asked them to give me a couple days before they did that. I got with the remaining admins that were left and we were able to carry on with AFF.

I retired as a co-owner over a year or so ago.

I think that's pretty close to the way it all unfolded.

Wow, who knew all the drama
that goes with a site?

And, what "ads?"

A good, balanced job, btw,
reflected in the popularity,
and distinguished from others. Ty!

We did away with them a couple years ago.
