Your First Time

[SalixIncendium]

What was it like your first time...

...creating a thread on RF?​

​

Inspired by @JustGeorge's Your First... thread, what was the first thread besides your intro thread (if you had one) you created on RF?

Do you still hold the same notions you did in that thread?

Is the thread topic still relevant?

Would you create it again today?

How many posts/pages did it grow to before it fizzled?


This was mine:

How Does Your Religion Adapt to Scientific Discovery?

Recent scientific discoveries/theories have come into conflict with what is written in sacred texts of some religions and will likely continue to do so moving forward. How has your religion adapted to such scientific discoveries? While I understand that select religions blindly hold steadfast...

My first thread got 0 replies.

It was years a go. I had been on many forums and was disappointed. I was worried about the site. I ended up finding it welcoming and supportive and I stuck around all these years because of it. It didn't matter what my response was. It mattered what the reaction was. I have grown over the years and doubt my response would be the same but am glad I responded.

Found it!

Chāturmās 1943/2078

My use of IAST (International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration) back then was bad, obviously.

Do you still hold the same notions you did in that thread?

No notions to hold, but no practice that I have ever done since.

Would you create it again today?

No, it is currently 2081 VS (but not yet in Gujarat).

Is the thread topic still relevant?

Nope, it’s three years irrelevant.

How many posts/pages did it grow to before it fizzled?

There were seven posts in total.

Ah ha. My first thread was on site feedback and is not to be discussed, RF rules.

My second thread was highlighting a poem about Manchester written by the local poet Tony Walsh embodying the spirit of the Manchester. The poem was presented during a vigil held in memory of those injured in the Manchester bombing of 1996
Manchester

Yes it will always be relevant to me and others injured in the bombing.

I would create it again in the same circumstances.

As for the number of posts, it reached the colossal number of 4...

Okay, it took me a bit to find where this was listed...

But here it is:

New Animism?​

As an animist, had to flip a coin, to allow the spirits to decide whether this should go in the Indigenous DIR or Neopagan DIR, because I couldn't come up with a reasonable choice of one or the other, when I think it applies to both... Anyway, I've been reading Graham Harvey's edited Handbook...

My first thread got 0 replies.

My computer was broked.

 

[Eddi]

I'm not sure I can remember and I can't be bothered to look it up

But most probably it was about me being Jesus or some other crazy **** like that

I joined in 2016 and made my introductory post then but didn't start posting until 2018

Since then I have changed a lot

Excuses, excuses...

It's pretty simple to find. Just go to 'find threads,' then go to 'your threads,' and then go to the last page.

To be honest I don't want to look back and find it

That time was not a great time for me and I want to put things like that behind me

Mine went to 5 pages and my name was Magog. Nothing there I'd really change.

Your "deal-breaker." What is it and why?

Thanks for participating.

A Question about Calvinism

Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Rom 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also...

Do you still hold the same notions you did in that thread?

Would still like to discuss it..

Is the thread topic still relevant?

Apparently not.
I mean, it was started in July 2005.
The first reply was posted in February 2010
the last reply was in February 2014
And it has been dead ever since the second (last) reply.

Would you create it again today?

If I have not created it ack then, most likely.
But since the first time was such an epic fail...

How many posts/pages did it grow to before it fizzled?

three posts including the OP...

Hopefully this thread will spark some interest...

...or attract some Calvinists.​

​

Have you considered moving the topic out of the DIR?

Hopefully this thread will spark some interest.

I am not aware of any Calvinists currently on site.

I edited my post since you responded.

that thought had not occurred to me.
Was to busy crying in a corner...

Do you still hold the same notions you did in that thread? mostly, yes

Is the thread topic still relevant? no, I don't think so

Would you create it again today? unlikely

How many posts/pages did it grow to before it fizzled? it had seven responses...somehow, that number got deleted in trying to copy the link to the page...

This was apparently almost three years after joining the site...

 

[rocala]

That was ten years ago. It was about Buddhism. In those days there were quite knowledgeable people on RF. They tore me to shreds. I learned to start thinking on my feet real quick. I really miss those days and am very grateful.
