    Guys, I truly appreciate your love and support of the site. We couldn't have hoped for a better groundswell in our first year. And I completely understand where you're coming from. Every time I see another member say "So THIS is where everyone went!", it warms my heart.

    However, the methods currently being utilized are giving us a bad rep in some circles. That is something we don't want to be known for. We are a good group and need to act as such. We need to earn it the right way.

    It may be frustrating to know that our friends are wondering where we are and would like to join us. However, sites have rules and we must respect them. I'm asking that you do so.

    It is up to us, the staff, to get the word out in our own, above-board way. This is what we originally set out to do. And I assure you we will. Once we start doing it, everything else will take care of itself. :)

    If you want to get the word out, please.....by all means, do it! Just do it the right way. That's all I ask.

    Thank you for your time.

    George

    I know there are good intentions but the quality of this site speaks for itself .Those members and friends who are still unaware that there is a choice will find their way eventually .

    Understood guys.

    Just a shame you can't send a simple PM to a member there with this sites name in. I do understand and I will comply.

    Thank you guys for creating this little piece of "heaven" for phins fans. :up:

    Completely understand guys.

    You won't have to worry about it with me because I have already been banned over there due to trying to inform a friend to visit us.

    The other sites name states its Finheaven but it sure doesn't seem like it over there. This is the place to be and thank you all for making it a great home.

    We as a family are trying to leave the past in the rearview mirror, to which we are looking to a very bright future with our membership.:up: If we do things right here, our family will continue to grow with more awesome members joining along the way. If we set a great example, the footsteps for others to follow will be very clear, and full of satisfaction upon there arrival.:hi5: It is not who has the most members wins, but whose members are full of respect, appreciation, knowledge, and family.:wink2:

    We must learn from the past, and not become it.

    Even I had forgotten about this site until I got the PM the other day at the "other" site. Then I was put into a kind of tug-o-war which was very uncomfortable. Please don't do things to put just ordinary members in these situations. We just want to post and have fun, make friends.

    To that note, i do find the people on here so far are much better even when discussing contradicting views and less rippin people who post their opinions. I find it quite irritating not even when someone rips one of my posts, but when i start reading someone's elses post to get half way through realizing their being a jackass just because they disagree. There is hardley any of that on here and i hope it stays that way. The core here has done a great job in setting the bar.

    i hope the new people who do find their way here realize this should continue to be the attitude here, because its above and beyond any other site in terms of friendlyness and enjoyability and anything that experiences rapid growth can foster new unwanted attitudes. But i do believe the mods and admin here have the conviction to keep it straight even during their growth stage of thephins.com

    This site is so outstanding, and the quality of posters is so high, people are bound to find their way here eventually anyway. I love the way our admins are so above board and fair. That's why I haven't even been to Fh in months and can't imagine wanting to go back ever again. It's just better here! :up:

    Maybe everything that happened, bad and good at FH in the past, is good for all of us b/c it'll teach us how to do things this time around. Sure there may still be some harsh feelings or thoughts of betrayal but I'm sure all that will fade away over time.

    We're all part of a group that is a big family and it's great that we're all still dedicated enough to form a brand new and much better site then FH ever was. We're going to make this site even better and I look forward to being part of the new rebuilt family :hi5:

    To be honest I don't even go to the other site anymore, in fact, my Fin forums are down to 2. This and one other and I only visit it once or twice a week. You guys are just the greatest and there is no desire on my part to be anywhere else. :up::hi5:

    This is more of what I'd hoped to hear.

    The underhanded stuff does us no good. It only promotes hostility, hard feelings and feeds a less-than-ideal reputation. That's not what we're after, nor should it be. We need to earn this on our own merit. We need to deserve it. :)

    Yes I agree Muck. However, it shouldn't be underhanded to PM a fellow member and tell them there is a site they should check out. The powers that be over there now have made it that way and that in itself is wrong. Members will come to the light and realize that they are being censored and controlled.

    I haven't been over there since you started this thread and don't plan on ever going back. Thanks once again for the hard work you guys put into this site.

    If the shoe were on the other foot, I'd probably be doing the same thing. I wouldn't appreciate it if people were using my PM system to advertise en mass. In fact, our Rules pretty much forbid it. It's just bad form overall.

    Thanks again for the kind words. :)

    I just went back to get a look at the old site....I barely recognize a face.

    This is where my friends are so I'm happy here. We picked up right where FH left off and are going where it should have gone.

    I joined what was then Celtkin.com back in December 2007 thinking it was a temporary site while Finheaven was down due to the hack or whatever and when Finheaven was back of course I switched back over. Once Finheaven came back I noticed that things where changing because at first annoying ads popped up everywhere and then the best posters started disappearing. Eventually when discussing a thread about where mor911 went and how the thread was closed down because of that I realized something was wrong and another poster pointed me here and I'm glad they did. This is what Finheaven was back in the day and I'm glad you all have kept that going.

    Keep up the great work. :up:

    I hope our 2008 Dolphins team shares the same kind of mutal respect, compassion, selfless hard work and support that is present on this site.

    There's no chance in hell they couldn't win the superbowl with a collaborative attitude like this in their lockeroom.

    I really enjoyed this site when it was Celtkin.com because it was smaller, more homely. I am thrilled that this site is going strong. Most of the garbage posters have been left at the other place and as a result there are plenty of quality threads/posts. Really I visit and post here more often than the other site.

    what's happening? just sayin' hey. i'm glad i found this site. i typed celtkin.com and got redirected.

    wasn't really sure what all went down at FH before, but the discussion here seems to be a bit more to my liking. glad you're making the effort to be above board on everything, guys. that kind of stuff gets rewarded, IMO. and yeah, i think people will just start making their way here naturally.
