I think he has pressing personal commitments..
He might return at some point.. that's all I want to say. :)

@Cino had some health problems, and I think the wars might
also be a factor.. there is increasing division in Europe at the moment,
as you might have noticed. 😐

There was some friction due to political differences, but he happily logged in when
Trump got elected .. so I guess he will pop in from time to time. :)

Well, hopefully we see them all. They certainly made the forum a lively place.
I hope Cino is continuing to get well.
I don't remember where in Europe he was located. I hope he's not directly affected by the wars but I don't know his locale at all.

We all have our limits (tolerance levels, tike constraints, priorities other issues) that keep us from participating....many get fed up with me!

I seem to be forum monogamous...once I find one I like I stick with it.

First was thinkarete, a ohilosoohy forum, which switched to zaadz and then got bought out by Deepak Chopras daughter I believe...it rolled into a new age more woo and crystal site.

I then found this and glommed on.

But I think you have hit the crux of the biscuit, it is not how do we find new, but how do we keep the old?

Now if we could only get a permit to wifi into whatever afterlife you believe in would that not be a hoot?

I mean we have lost many wonderful members to this thing called death...it's an analog thing affecting our digital forum.

Now if anyone knows how to overcome death start another thread lol....but if anyone would like to log back in in whatever afterlife you believe in, if anyone can use prayer to send a signal to the amazing folks we have had pass thru and ask them to open the app.

If there is a rock and roll heaven they must have a helluvah band! I'd like you to imagine the twilight zone, the interfaith forum of samsara, the elysium, the paradise network, a heavenly connection, the nirvana forum of enlightenment....can you imagine the discussions realizing they are all right! Or alright! Or all wrong!

Now imagine them signing up under a new moniker or their old...and telling us of the experience....

Accomplish that, we be viral in a minute....and I would probably need to find another forum to connect...lol

i/o eye appreciate you as you are.

On July 26, 2024, @iBrian posted the following:

"I just wanted to say a big thank you to @RJM for doing his utmost best to keep Interfaith running these past few years. I know it hasn't been easy for him, and I know even the best can struggle at any time running an active forum in general, let alone one based around such profound and often conflicting viewpoints which can make IO a particular challenge to deal with. I haven't been here to see how things have developed, but I'm very grateful that RJM made every effort to keep IO running and online.

Also, I'm sad to say that RJM has now resigned as community administrator to allow me to take over fully, which is not something I'd actually wanted - I had hoped to support him and simply help tone things down around here so that there was more of an even keel. However, I know for a long time he's repeatedly expressed a desire to step back from the stress of running IO and keeping it online, and I guess that now I'm here more fully he's finally taken that opportunity.

I don't know whether he plans to keep visiting and posting, or whether he's just going to take a long breather - goodness knows he deserves some relax time - but I just wanted to make a public show of thanks for him being here to prevent the ship from sinking, allowing for IO to continue as a global community interfaith website. :)"

Indeed, we all wish him well.


Check out his profile .. Germany .. Berlin, as far as I am aware. :)

Yeah, I thought it might have been Germany but I wasn't sure if it was somewhere else in Central Europe.
Someone had mentioned whether the wars were affecting him and I was wondering about that.
