Attention General Members: It has been noted that several General Members are logging in at CFS to participate in group PM strings almost exclusively. While it is perfectly OK to exchange thoughts with each other in group PM's, it is also creating a bit of an issue.
With members exchanging PM's rather than participating in the open forum, the number of OPEN FORUM POSTS has declined significantly and as a result, our internet ratings may be affected.
The staff is requesting that those members who are spending most of their time in group PM's, spend just as much time in the open forum posting (keeping all Forum Rules in mind.)
Please remember, this forum is provided as a place to meet and to fellowship in the open, not necessarily a place to meet behind the scenes to nearly exclusively exchange PM's.
Thank you for your cooperation.
