It's been almost 2 months since we witnessed something, that to me,could have been avoided. The almost total wipeout of this forum by a spirit of division. I am wondering, although I never thought there were anywhere close to as many members as the register showed, how many are there? We had a poll a few months ago where out of the entire membership/viewers/users, there were only 8-9 people who answered the poll. Was it because everyone is shy, I don't see Christians as shy people, or was everyone intimidated by others writting styles or education? I don't think this is the case in the majority, So my question is, what really happened? Is it as some think, that the moderators(namely Hombre and myself) elevated ourselves above everyone else and people were turned away? Does the fact that now almost anyone can come in and delete posts, (that some of us spent MANY hours working on), bother anyone? What about people requesting all their threads, post, and messages to be removed...leaving others post looking like they were talking to the air, that bother anyone? If Hombre was the problem,in peoples minds, then with him gone now for almost 2 months, why aren't people posting and discussing Christian topics and sharing testimonies?

SO WHAT REALLY HAPPENED? Anyone want to step up and share their thoughts...What about solutions to the problem (speaking of 'the problem' as I see it, of VERY little activity on the board)any suggestions on ways to OVERCOME the spirit of division and take back the forum to be used for the glory of God?
