I hope you are all doing well. It’s such a tough time for many with covid still being a big issue. We are in 14 days of mandatory quarantine after our son was directly exposed. Good times!
i wanted to talk with everyone about the forums. I remember when I started them. The members came one at a time. It was so amazing to watch the forums change and grow, and the early days were the best. Growth slowed down, but we went through our annual meeting phase and that was also fun. Things have changed. Online disagreements and personality clashes led some of us away, but FaceBook played a huge role in essentially ending the forums. Many of our members are active in FB med spouse groups and that’s okay. Sadly, this place that has been so special to me for 20 years seems not to have survived the time when conversations and responses are quick and easy. I miss this place every day, and I grieve what it once was and could have been.
Because the forums have died, we are receiving a lot of spam posts. I will be changing the forum permissions to prevent more abuse of the forums.
i hope things are good for you.
