Personally, I am not a fan of the fact that literally ANYONE can read and see what we post just by doing a simple Google search.

This site probably gets loads of traffic, considering it's one of the biggest and most popular mental health forums out there right now. PsychCentral doesn't have very much competition either...

I, personally, would feel safer if the more serious forums were password protected. Meaning that only people with an account can view them... Such as the SZ forum, the abuse forum, DID forum, PTSD forums, etc.

It especially sucks that we have very sensitive and very vulnerable people here sharing information about themselves that is NOT protected.
