@Skeezyks and all:

Thanks for you elucidative reply. Yes, it's unfortunate that we don't have the traffic we used to. There's no saying we'll regain it either. It could go the other way. I just Googled "mental health support forums" and we're on page six!!!



The regulars on the bipolar forum are there, tho we have lost several, not due to the hand-off tho, for other reasons.

I think the point is that we'll have trouble attracting new members, at least for a while, a year, perhaps, as you say. It's mostly the regulars that matter to me tho so as long as they stick around i can wait it out.

I'm really enjoying the site, tho the failure to reignite the overeating/binge-eating forum was a disappointment, of course. I had such passion for the project but i'll have to find another milieu.

I have a request for a referral to a specialist in with my doctor so hopefully i can get myself some help that way. The only problem is that the specialist has to be covered by our public health plan (Canada) as i don't have a private plan and that may be a BIG obstacle as there are few specialists of that sort.

Thanks for your support, Skeezyks, i'm always happy to see you around!
