Why has the HAC FFF declined?

[RAIDER]

I'm sure you have noticed the decline in posters on the HAC FFF.  It has been a slow decline.  If we look back to the heyday it is a tremendous drop off.  Some that have been on here for many years remember the great threads that we had.  We remember the rapid posting from numerous posters.  We remember the heated discussions had by many.  Overall, it was an enjoyable time for all.

So here is my question - Why the decline?  Did it just get "old"?  Has FB and other outlets taken our attention?  Is it because there are no current scandals at FBCH/HAC? 

What think ye, Hacker Nation?

I believe it started when the two most popular posters were placed in a box not to their liking. It was when they left the heat and fire died out.

when there is a fire people come out of the woodwork to watch it burn. 

No fire no people, no interest, boring.

I'm trying to remember who the 2 posters are of which you speak.  I think I know who one is.  He was the fellow that was very critical of Schaap.  Can't remember his name.

Aleshanne the scuba diver from Obamas home state.
Trying to remember the other one think she was Anglican.

I miss them both, they always kept it lively and made you support your assertions.

I think you mean IZZY.
But neither of them posted very much on the Hyles forum, did they?

Posting on the FFF *IS* a job.

Truthfully a lot of what we discuss has little relevance. We have beat many topics to death with very few changing their minds. There are only so many stories and tales to tell. I still check in most days to see if there is anything new but there is not a lot.

I think for the most part the HAC part went from being an area of great debate to more of a social forum over time. Not a bad thing just not compelling.

I believe that brother Wilkerson does not give detractors as much ammunition for criticism as Schaap did.  Hence there is not much new to talk about.

I'm not a Hacker but am a long time poster on the fff.
I think that you guys have already said what needs to be said about being a Hacker...a few times. If appears that in Hackerdom there is nothing new under the sun.
I believe that Pastor Wilkerson is very hard to dislike, much less hate...he isn't the lightning rod of Schaap or Hyles. Neither does he carry the baggage of questionable doctrine or personal morality as Schaap or Hyles.
Finally, the movement Hyles or IFB) isn't nearly what it once was and it's hard to hate (even) the Yankees when they're losing.

You and I have many difference of opinion but you are really WRONG on this one. The Yankees are always easy to hate!

Change of movement and less controversies within the movement amongst the well-known individuals. There was another anti-IFB forum that was managed by an ex-PCC student (Darrell something). That site is no longer available and is pretty much dead.

Less scandals, less controversies, less gossip.

There's a new generation of Hyles Anderson grads pastoring growing churches all over America. They don't post here nor do we talk about them because most of the posters are over 40 and graduated in the Hyles years. These newer pastors, for the most part, graduated after 2000.

Perhaps I did go too far....I apologize!

This is an excellent point and one with which I 100% agree.

Honest question. Of the students who graduated since 2000 who would be the five that pastor the five largest churches and where do they pastor?

Personally, I've been really busy and had a vacation thrown in over the last several weeks.

There are more important things in life than arguing politics or theology. I haven't gone away, just prioritizing my time. Hope all is well with my HACker friends!
