I apologize that this caused you upset, and hear you when you complain about not getting as much engagement from other forums. It can be frustrating to believe your voice does not matter or is not heard. I'm here to tell you that your voice does matter, and we do hear you.

I'm afraid the explanation I'm going to provide below isn't going to help you feel any better about this action. Because while I can explain the rationale behind such decisions, it won't really address the emotional reaction different people will have to these kinds of actions.

We regularly move threads out of the "Other Mental Health Discussion" group when there are places we feel are more appropriate to put a post or thread. While we respect members overall decisions and judgments in this matter, OMHD is regularly overrun by members who feel like they should just post there, rather than in a forum more appropriate for their topic or conversation.

If people were truly 100% free to post anything they wanted, anywhere in the forums, then I guess we could just do away with the 200+ different forums and just have one big forum where anything and everything is posted. I've considered that. But I feel like it would quickly become overwhelming to too many people, so I think we're going to stick to separate forums for separate topics.

If you have further questions or concerns about this issue, we'll be happy to address them via PM.

Thanks,
DocJohn
