Board Members,

Please make sure when you make a new thread, that the thread belongs in the General Discussions Forum before you post it. The General Discussions Form is not a "I don't know where to put this so I'll put it here" forum; it is a forum for threads that do not have any other specific home. We have had far too many threads in the General Discussions Forum that easily fit into the Theological forum, the Bible forums, the Entertainment forum and others. The reason that this is a problem is because we have more than 1300 threads and 17,000 posts in the General Forum. This makes it exceedingly difficult for people to search this forum, or to find anything in its archives. That, in turn, creates duplicate posts over many months and just contributes to the problem.

So the solution to this is, before you post in the general discussions forum, to think about it this way:

Is there ANY other place that I could put this thread. Not just where is the best place, but is there ANY other place where this would fit. Think of the general form more off like a place where there is no other place where this possibly fits so I'll have to put it here.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

For the Admins,

Fred Greco

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

Ok,

This is a reminder: please do not post a thread in General Discussions unless there is NO OTHER place you can think of to put it. Do not put it there just because you are unsure if it fits somewhere else. Pick the best spot you think and the Mods will take it from there.

Think of the General Discussions Forum like that corner of the attic or that pile on the desk that never gets looked in, and is a huge mess, with no organization. No one will ever be able to find the post a month from now, searching or not. Only if there is NO OTHER place even close, should it be put there.

*bump*

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

WOW! Never seen a three year bump before! Brings me back to the old days.

I was but a wee peon grunt back then (Now, I'm just a Peon with a capitalized title). Guess what my task was on the board conversion wherein we added all the new fora(ums?)?

Going through all the "General Posts" and moving them to their proper forum. I'm sweating just thinkin' about it.

I wasn't even a member yet! This demonstrates Fred's magnetic "Marcia Bradyness" that his 3 year old posts are bumped.
