I don't know where to start from. OK I would start from my own "ignorance."
Sincerely, I am interested in knowing the reason behind so many Islamic forums, like Gawaher, LI, TowardsIslam, Muttaqoon, Al-Hidayaah, etc. thousands of them r there. Everyone is welcome to advertise it and we go and join it and say and read the same things we read on other forums.
Let me be more clear. I am not talking about websites which spread knowledge. I am talking about forums. Wat is the point of joining them? Now let's take LI. many of members r from Gawaher, me too. Haven't we discussed the same things before?
I just wanna know the reason behind various forums and having almost same members.
If i am truly honest, it is to waste time. and it can get addictive. I used to be on many forums. Now i visit only this. I also visit gawaher, but that is rarely and i dont post there. But i visit lot of non-muslim forums ( i know u were upset about the christianforum), but it is for good cause, isnt it? People are misinformed about Islam and it is upto use to show them otherwise.
using forums such as this is not a waste of time. i think it is great to join a great forum like this because you learn alot of things regarding islam. people like me are new and are eager to learn more about islam. its not our fault if other people get addictive. mashallah this forum is the best and you can learn a lot as well.

This happenedto me. I was nothing but a "spammer" on forums, wasting time and stuff. ??? but no use so I stopped and now I only visit three forums, Gawaher, LI, and physicsforums.

I hope u don't mind me asking why u kinda of left Gawaher?
And about non muslims forums, :mad: I also have done that too. Most of non-muslims on such forums come with sole purpose of "bashing." It is not their ignorance, it is their arrogance, U try hundred times to clear misconceptions regarding Islam, hundred and one time they will come with their lame excuses not to accept your refutations.

How did you come to this forum?? of course the link given on main page of the website,"load-islam.com"What I am saying is, instead of creating another forums, akhi who made the website should have given link to Gawaher. This is wat my understanding is
inshAllah we the admin and mod team are workin on providing more beneficial things on these forums inshAllah, and not just idle chit chat (which by the way isnt a major problem at this stage) inshAllah in time you will come to like these forums if dont already do :brother:
im going to be straight and critical here, its waste of time if you dont talk good, and....heh, frankly looking at some of the threads you have here, it is a waste of time, please stop to wonder why my posting rate has gone down to a very low level.
Looking on the plus side, Many kids are joining the islamic sites. Lets face it, i would be very glad if any kid joins these websites than other dubious/haram ones or worse. The kids could hang out bad crowd, so these forums are way for them to socialise from afar. Of course you get the odd ones where haram things are happening.
socializing!!!
where u live brother?? Aren't there any people arnd you?? Did I get u wrong?
Br Khaldun, did I deny the purpose of this forums? I know it is for good but I am saying is why u don't do the same things on only one islamic forums and stick to it instead of having many forums. I am not against many Islamic websites but I fail to see the reason behind many islamic forums.
btw did anyone look at the recent replies? if I am not wrong, all of them belong to "general Chat." :confused: now akhi,pls also have a look at every forums's last reply. I mean if u look at refutaations forums, u may find the last reply was posted some 10 hrs ago, same with other Islamic forums. And I am sure what we contribute to Islamic forums is no way near what we contribute to Geberal Chat and other forume like "brother's Section" and "sister's section."
this forum is an advantage to everyone as long as they use it correctly, people only complain because such things may not interest them. if you are complaining about this forum then no-one is asking you to come online. this is directed to people who complain and don't use this forum properly
What is the use of the forums?? U need to discuss Islam?? Islam had been perfected centuries ago. U need to share knowledge?? then what r websites for? And there is a difference between sharing knowledge and debating arnd.
btw u brought a good point!!
if you are complaining about this forum then no-one is asking you to come online.

it really depends what the forums purpose is, if the forums purpose is to, promote islamic knowledge then we are doing far from that. If its to socialise then this forum is not a waste of time because its simply in accordance to forum purpose.
But in my arguements i was assuming that this "islamic forum" is used for islamic purposes.
How about new muslims who reverted because of their discussions with muslims or new muslims who learnt much from the muslim forums. What about those?
I know few new reverts who had no intention of reverting but after visiting Islamic forums, got to know Islam. Interacting may be beneficial in these cases.
The point of debates is to come at some sold conclusion and I came at the conclusion that I should leave now.
btw akhi metsudaistwice, how many r there who accept Islam through forums? I am sure not more than when people tr to find out stuff on their own through meeting real people.
and as I said, if it is an Islamic forums, why we contribute so much to General Chat? talking about age, gender, most embarrasing moments,?? wat's the point of talking such non sense??
