Hi @bpcyclist. I understand your question differently than some others seem to in this thread. Perhaps my interpretation is right or not. I agree with your observation about the bipolar forum. All I can say is that the recent trend is frustrating me a bit, though I understand that no one means to create such a trend that frustrates. Obviously some like it. If it continues even further, new visitors may also find it frustrating and turn away, quickly. If even more ultra casual chat threads, meme/cutesy stuff threads, journal threads (and select other non bipolar-related/Off-topic stuff) keeps being added to the bipolar forum's primary area, I will likely turn away, eventually. We all have different limits, I know.

If my remarks are totally unrelated to yours, bpcyclist, my friend, please ignore.
