I believe that you should open up a Politics and News area. Many topics of interest to religion debate appear from recent news and political issues, and I really believe that we should have at least a forum dedicated to that.

I also believe, that to expand your website, you might want to consider creating two areas in the forum: The Atheist Meeting Center and the Christian Meeting Center. A way of organizaing people and knowing who is who and what they believe in it.

Just a thought.

I know you�re afraid of us, afraid of change. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell how it's going to begin. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world where anything is possible.

Good ideas... I've implemented them.

I got a Go Figure, I can't seem to upload Avatars, document size and format are consistent with what the site requires but I get that X thing instead of an image. I also tried Netscape with same issue. Hmmmmm. I am on a MAC though I noticed Quark is too and he has a Groovy avatar...Help!

Try it now. The permissions was not set correctly on the upload directory.

Sir
Your system is not very good for receipt of messages. I have taken the trouble to compose an entry and edit it to copy it to your site. The site won't accept it as 'pasted'.
I've wasted 90 minutes. Thank you very much.
And finding how to do anything whatever on your site is a pain.
I don't want to compose replies etc off the cuff. I want to create a properly articulated case in advance then paste it. And without a lot a hassle. Is that too much to ask?

While I'm addressing you, may I ask if you gave out details of me to other bodies? I received mail from Philadelphia Church of God (two books) unsolicited , recently.

I'm not sure why you are not able to paste. That is strange.

I don't think it's different here than any other forums.

No information here is given/sold/released to anybody else. Also, anonymous users are not able to get personal info off the site. If someone does find a way to do it, let me know and I can close that hole.

Perhaps the entry had to many characters? Is there a limit as to how many characters the post may have, Otseng? Just a thought.

I highly doubt it. The limit is around 64 K.

I was wondering if we could have an award system similar to America's Debate. Members can vote on who their favourite debater is, what their favourite topic is, who they'd most like to meet in real life, etc, thus encouraging thoughtful and involved participation.
