What Can We Do?

Please feel free to use this thread, a private message (PM), or email webmaster at christianityboard.com (format it like a regular email) with your thoughts. I'm looking for constructive stuff, so please be respectful to everyone and keep that in mind. I want to hear personally from the community as we attempt to make this place a little more user friendly!

I'm never really concerned about the jobs ahead of me, as the angel said in Luke 1:37, nothing is impossible with God. From the feedback we've received in the past to the great folks we currently have on board, I know Father has worked and continues to work through this community. My concern is that I make this place open to Him and His will.

In actuality, the email was sent to everyone and it wouldn't be the first time I've used such an email. I know some folks are smarter than me and I know others perhaps a good bit more inspired. I'm open to new ways to run this forum as well as issues that might make this place difficult to post at. I periodically request feedback to stay on top of my game; I run my business life no differently. The folks that know me know that. I definitely don't expect you to, so I thought I'd simply put that detail out there.

I know the nature of the beast when it comes to forums (I've run many myself and I moderate and administrate at others with a number of posts), so I'm aware of what I'm up against. I could have easily opted to be just another whitewashed forum or perhaps even a ministry website where I shared my views in a one-sided fashion. I don't work that way; I've found that there are some great Christian folks out there who have a thing or two to teach me but maybe don't have the platform. My goal here is to give Christianity Board to them yes, but most importantly to God. If this site helps one soul find his or her way, then it's a resounding success in my book!

With that said, I appreciate your feedback. I'm sorry you've not found it conducive to your method and mode of study, but I haven't had any reports nor seen any examples of rule violations. If you do have an issue, as I've mentioned to you before, feel free to report it for our staff to take a look at. Right now, I don't see much beyond some "controversial" statements made and perhaps argued a bit. Otherwise, as much as I'd like to make CB a panacea for everyone, I do recognize that not every environment will fit every bill. That's another nature of the forum beast.

Thanks for all the feedback we received. It seems I need to open up email communication a bit because most of you preferred that method. If I've not already spoken with you, I will be doing it soon. I wanted to let the feedback trickle in before I started responding.

Still stuck on Tetris, eh?

I'm still up in the air about the arcade, but I'll take the Tetris thingy into account just for you.

Appreciate the input JarBreaker.

I didn't realize that the SoF for each member was showing on the topic. (For some reason it was not for me.) That should now be resolved, I think.

In regards to the rest of your post, I definitely agree about the quote part. Please try and limit usage of the quote feature. For example, if you're addressing the OP (original poster), there is really no need to quote the entire post because that's the point of a thread. I really don't like the idea of resorting to team members here editing that, but we may have to go that route if the trend continues. Please try and use quotes strategically and not just quote the entire post where simply addressing the person by their moniker would do the same job.

Thanks!
