so I know this forum is new but what do you like about it

[dogs4thewin]

One thing I LOVE about this particular forum is that the rules are simple, concise and each ( with the exception of the spamming rule backed by scripture. As for the spamming rule it would be a bit hard to come up with a scripture that applies. I LOVE that about this forum.

I love the people, the layout, and am excited to see what is done next

I love how respectful people are being and that we don't have the constant barrage of ads in our faces! I also like the easy flow of the site.

 

[MS140ukn]

a few things, iam big fan of mybb platform. also even though iam not relegious, i have a sense that everyone here is friendly and respectful towards each other. plus the layout/color scheme is pleasing to my eyes. i have been on forums in past that allow profanity and disturbing images to be displayed and other shenanigans but here its more neutral. i see myself continuing to be an active member through next year.

I too like and am impressed with the respectful manner in which people conduct themselves here. I also like the way the administration is open to and responds positively to feedback and suggestions...I think this is vital for a site to thrive. Also vital is for the administration to continually look for ways to expand and improve the user experience, which I think we can all agree is obviously happening.

I like everything about the forums except some snarky remarks here and there.

Scripture is pretty silent on the subject of spamming it has to be said

I like simple rules. When rules get too complicated people end up getting endless infractions for ever-more trivial breaches, and before long the rules take on a life of their own and common sense slips out the back way while everyone is worrying about which rule got violated this time.

A lack of ads is a great thing.

One other site *cough* reminded me every single time I connected that I had ad blockers installed and asked whether I might consider disabling them. Of course I'll disable my ad blockers, so I can then pay the site for no benefit other than an ad-free experience - you know, the same benefit my ad blockers give me for free. Hmmm... maybe I should think about that for a minute. Tell you what, how about I don't and you come up with a better reason for me to give you my money.

Maybe Lamb should consider adding ads to cover part of the hosting costs.

@Romanos and I have an ad already running but it doesn't generate much of anything for us. We discussed allowing other sites to advertise directly with us, but never really followed through on it.

One thing that would be helpful is if members could sign up on Forum Promotion, make 10 posts and vote in the Site Battle Madness contest going on right now. If we win, the top prize is a lot of money that could help keep us running for a couple years.

1. People respect each other.
2. People tend to be informed, articulate and helpful. I learn here.
3. Rules are few, intuitive and evangelically applied.
4. Staff seek to be helpful and non-political, not "nazi's" and biased as sometimes elsewhere.

Like how much?

 

[Bluezone777]

Like how much?

hundred and fifty dollars is the top prize with second being a hundred and third/fourth prize being 50 dollars. All of the amounts are in USD.

I find the forum to be contentious, weak on prayer, spiritual growth and edification.

Why go to a forum for that? You can better go to church for that or for edification to that one forum with just preachings and no discussion other than Amen, great preaching. Maybe you like this one:

SermonIndex.net Audio Sermons - Sermon Index

Founded in 2002. The mission of SermonIndex is the preservation and propagation of classical Biblical preaching and the promotion of Christ-centered revival to this generation.

Which other forums have you found to be doing better at each of those things?

 

[heavenslight]

I had reservations about making the initial comment but I also felt that it needed to be made. I prefer to avoid negativity whenever possible. I believe that answering your question would likely lead into an extended debate. Nor is my concern about other forums but this forum. I am also not sure that it would be helpful nor do i I have the time for lengthy debates. My comment can be interpreted by the reader of this thread as to it's meaning.

Uh, you already have chosen to raise those issues...and not in a noticeably "unnegative" way.
For one thing, the question asked what was right about CH, not what was lacking.

Anyhow, this doesn't appear to be worth any further discussion or action. Don't worry,

Duly noted. But not everyone feels that way and I know this site has been a great blessing to others, so I will do what God has guided me to do and that's to keep this place open for a long time.
