Maria,

I am not the host so don't think I am trying to be...

I am not criticising you, I am only curious.

Delphi offers a way to promote our own forums, and most hosts do not grumble about links in sigs...

Why did you feel it necessary to begin a thread with only a link to another forum?

Aren't Delphi's promotions sufficient?

What happened to David? 
Has this forum changed host? 
Or is he the host of another forum? 
Furthermore, I have done this before 
on this forum. ANd I had added links 
on my forum to this forum so that 
my guest can visit here. I have never 
gotten any complaints from him, so 
I felt like it was okay. 

This forum is listed in my "related forums" 
drop box, and if David had a problem with me 
doing this, I am sure that he will let me 
know, and I will respect his wishes.

It was just a general observation.

I have seen this done in many forums, usually with less than admirable feelings for the poster.

If you have some kind of prior ageement, then forgive me for seeming rude.

Many hosts will not actually say anything out of not wanting to appear gruff, but when we get together I often hear comments about this kind of thing. It's been mentioned more than once on the Hosts Forum over the last several years.

I determined long ago that I wasn't going to be the subject of that type of discussion. And, just try to pass along something I've learned over my last 3+ years as a host on Delphi.

Some hosts even feel threatened by a link to their own forums in one's sig.. That is the main reason that even though my sig has links to other stuff, I have learned that links to one's own forum in a sig. is not always welcomed...so I don't do that either.

Each host wants to build their own forum up, and some view those actions as a threat to their own...especially when it is not accompanied by any other text germane to the present forum.

My forums are already established. 
But, if this is offensive to the host, 
I will respect his wishes.

Hi Joseph,

 

Thanks for your concern.

 

As far as I know none of the Christian forums are in competition with one another.

 

When I first came to Delphi forums only one year ago I immediately started a forum, my forum was the new forum among many previously existing and very well established Christian forums here on Delphi (including Marias). From the beginning I have only found the Christian forums on Delphi to be completely encouraging and supportive of one another and of the greater Christian Community.

 

Through e-mails several of us Christian forum moderators have expressed a great desire to support one another (especially through Prayer) and to assist the Christians visiting our forums by giving them options to visit other forums for a broader base of Christian fellowship.

 

And while Im thinking about it I first went to Marias forum Prayer Warriors Corner specifically to request Prayer for myself and this forum, something that Maria and her friends were happy to do. I know for certain that without prayer this forum would not exist. This forum has had many very special Christians stop by and encourage me regarding the forum.

 

It takes a real commitment to have a public forum here on Delphi, especially a Christian forum as Christian forums are controversial to some of the general Delphi membership.

 

Thanks for your input and if you or anyone else has any observations into how the Christian forums on Delphi can better meet your needs please let any of us know.

 

God Bless You,

David

competition. We all serve God and 
love each other. God Bless!

Thank you David for clearing this up for me.

As I said in my first post, I was not attempting to speak for you or even criticising Maria; I was simply curious.

I don't very often see people come into a forum and post only a link to messages in their own forum.

Most of the time I see this it is people spamming another forum to build their own up.

I did not think this about Maria as I see she has other messages here...

It just seemed curious to me.

I do hope no one took me the wrong way...if they did...I guess it's my own fault.

Apologies to all.

Hi 123four,

 

Thanks for the encouragement.

 

Really hosting a forum is a wonderful experience and I would highly encourage anyone who wants to start another Christian forum whether here at Delphi or elsewhere to do it.

 

I didnt mean for the post to sound like a lament, I was trying to point out that hosting a forum is a team activity (especially with prayer) even if it doesnt seem like it is.

 

Since the beginning I have asked a couple of other people to help host this forum I think it really is too big of a job for one person to adequately respond to the postings and to foster fellowship so I do have a prayer out for another moderator or two. 

 

I really think that you and the other posters are what make the forum a success anyhow.

 

Actually it really is exciting having the forum there are so many topics to discuss and things to do. Currently there is a big project underway for the forum that will be a tremendous Blessing to many people if we can technologically work out all the details. 

 

I think the best is yet to come for this forum.

 

Thanks again for your encouragement.

 

God Bless You,

David

You got that right.

No competition.  Just spreading the good news of

Jesus Christ.

Glad to see your name too 1234, praying sister!

I love to visit David's forum whenever I need 

to be minister to, and to learn something.  He has

some deep posts over here.  And you know I love

"the deep things" of God.

Stay encouraged, and stay prayed up!
