Y’all, I don’t know what to think. Some days I have been on CAF and hoped I would be banned (you’ll note that I took a lot of cool down periods off of CAF for that very reason). Other days, I have engaged in fruitful discussion about music, pop culture, and other religions. I am drinking my coffee, almost in tears (I am literally holding them back typing this), and just feeling a case of Saudade setting in (a useful Portuguese word with no literal translation). The fact that CAF is going, just, I don’t know what else to do.
I guess it gives me more time for other things (I have a podcast and am writing books), but I am still overwhelmed with sadness and anxiety. God bless y’all.
 
Man I’m sorry. I’ve been on here a few years not posting much and have always appreciated your presence. I can imagine why you’d be down. I’ll say a prayer for you and isn’t there that other forum people are moving to?
 
I’m going to stick around until it’s gone.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll miss it. Most of my time on forums is devoted to guitar and music sites anyhow.

I just look at it as an opportunity to spend less time on the internet and spending my time more productively. I retired in the spring and covid destroyed my summer plans.

The new forum ? I dunno. It’s the same format as this version 2 CA one and I don’t like it at all. Compared to the music gear forums that all use the same format, this one isn’t nearly as user-friendly.

But it is what it is.

I feel like that would be a bad idea for me

Sorry about that
 
Y’all. Coffee. Complaining. Batman. Bible. These are things that I hope y’all have learned about me. I have learned that, to everything there is a season. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
 
I was quite surprised to see you haven’t yet joined Tis_Bearself’s new forum. It’s a reincarnation of CAF on a smaller and more friendly scale.

No, I’m going to keep checking in until the bitter end 😏
 
The way I see it is that if God wanted the forum to stick around he would have allowed for it to stick around. So for me I am not sad that this forum is closing down. Of recent years I personally found some of the threads have been rather chaotic with a lot of discord.

Like you I have been here a while too, since 2006 in the earlier years under a different name. I had a couple of times been away from the forum due to spending too much time and found it was taking me away from doing other things. That resulted in me not get back on under my original name as I had deleted my email address and had forgotten my CAF password.

There are plenty of other forums popping up by other users, these new forums may be worthwhile joining. I have enjoyed reading your posts over the years, especially how you write and in my minds eye can imagine you talking through your words. Not to be weird here lol some can pull this off better than others.
 
Not yet; Ima stick it out until the bitter end. But I do have St. Isidore right alongside CAF on the bookmarks bar.

Everything dies in this world, sooner or later. It’s okay to say goodbye.

Yeah, I can relate. There are couple of folks on the World News forum that I would dearly love to nuke. With the threat of suspension removed I’m afraid I just might push the button. Hopefully I will be feeling charitable that day.

If the CAF powers-that-be are smart, they will, without warning, pull the plug a few days before 12/31. That might greatly reduce the amount of poo flinging that would have otherwise occurred on the last day.

I can two at least. One starts with a C and the other starts with a G.
 
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Well, as I said, I hope I’m feeling charitable that day. Or maybe the mods will execute a preemptive strike and pull the plug early. As badly as they might irritate me, I really don’t want my last memory of CAF to be C & G going up in a mushroom cloud.

On the other hand…
 
Y’all, this is going to shock you, but:
I have the World News forum muted.
