How influential is AFF?

[Apocrypha]

Years ago I was asked by Jim Yohe (rest in peace) to help him start Faithchild Forums and with his website for Faithchild communications. I sadly turned him down because I was tied up with helping to plant a new church. Looking back I wish I had helped him.

AFF is the grandchild of Jim's dream to have a open dialogue among apostolics about anything and everything. Unlike the other forums where the people will hide behind "approval processes" or those that ban on the drop of a hat when they lose a discussion thread, AFF is pretty amazing in that everyone gets a shot to prove, disprove, or just discuss whatever.

Compared to the other forums this place gets more activity, more discussions, and in my opinion the level of scholarly thought here is way higher than the other forums since we force each other to back up statements or face open mockery with few repercussions.

I see that the Magic Hair doctrine is now on the dock in the UPCI after folks like DA and a few others threw down on that false teaching, even making a website to point it out with videos and documentation. Hopefully the UPC will purge that doctrine out of their unofficial set of beliefs. I was wondering if our posting and pointed discussion here on AFF brought it up to the surface after all these years?

I was also wondering how much of a impact that AFF has among the leaders and pastors who come on here and post or just lurk and read as anonymous users? Really, my question is how much of Jim's dream of having a place where we can discuss anything and come to greater truth is having on the greater apostolic movement from this discussion forum?
