Let's just see how it goes, instead of making it a funeral atmosphere around here.

Yes, exactly.

YEA ALL THE NAYSAYERS ARE RIGHT, THAD AND HIS TAB...DAN....NO ONE CARES. HA!

From where I'm sitting, the reason the forum is dominated with threads about him and dan is because you keep posting garbage to try and make people post in those threads. They'd have dropped off the front page already if you didn't keep bumping them back up.

This does seem to be a great forum. The only problem to me appears to be that someone isn't happy in dan's new forum and can't resist posting here just to try to keep something stirred up with someone. If you're not happy here and you think the admins are ban happy, you are always free to post somewhere else. It must not be as bad as you claim it to be here, because you are still here.

I've signed on with the "other" forum but I'm also remaining here.
Some of my views may be in the "minority" but I can't complain about how I've been treated.
I think the Administrators have provided a pretty broad definition of what "Apostolic" means.

I have a page on Myspace, apostolicplanet.net and on Everyone's connected that I already don't keep up on and keep the stuff updated like I should. My kids are begging me to sign up on Faithfreaks.com to check it out and I have said no more registrations anywhere. I'm signed up at GNC and Reymah and rarely find time to peek in over there at either of those because of this place taking my time. I own a yahoo group for the homeschooling parents in my area, I have another small forum that has about 300 members that I have to peek in on occasionally. I do part time work from home for extra income and I am a homeschooling mom. I think I have more now than I can handle at times, but that's okay. I have to draw the line somewhere. No more forums, no more networking sites, no more internet game sites, no more survey sites. Enough is enough!
Everytime I have time to sign into the places I haven't been to in a while, I have notes from people wondering if I've just dropped off the face of the earth or what.
I will have to say that the OP of this thread has inaccurately described Dan's place. It is not just a forum. It's a social networking site. It does look nice---but the way the forums look over there would drive me crazy, because I am completely spoiled by VBulletin.

From where I sit, there are plenty of drama queens and drama kings for that matter, floating around apostolia. Most of us can identify when someone is grandstanding, and it really is not very flattering when a person chooses to behave that way. I usually try to tune them out for awhile and wait till it blows over. My thinking is; if people want to be friendly they will be and they will generally be liked. If they want to make things ugly, they usually have no trouble doing so. To their own embarassment.
People come and go. This is a very good forum. I've been posting on it and it's predecessors for years. Communities evolve and trends change. That new forum has features this one doesn't and it's my guess that it will probably have huge appeal. There's no need for anyone to be bitter. Jesus is still God and He's still in control of it all.

WOW, a personal attack against me....from a newbie.....hmmm or is someone using an alter ego to attack me because they can't do it from their real screen name.....
anyhow, who ever you are, read the threads and it's obvious I'm not the only one posting here....
