another new forum or two? I've been checking out the links from psychcentral to other "support" sites and one item that caught my attention was a "no reply" post area. While I don't like the idea of venting per se... maybe a place to make announcements or another for civil statements?
Many times ppl post in General because they don't know where else to put the post...and that works ok...but with all the other posts in General now, it is difficult (for me) to keep up with it all. In a no reply forum, ppl who are going to be gone for a short time and just want to tell us, or those who are "back" and just want us to know, older members who want to give updates in general , you know, like CURRENT EVENTS for members... Got a job, got a new grandbaby whatever! Or a forum for semi-venting (is there such a thing?) Thoughts about the community as a whole, about self, a blast to all about their having a bad week, concerns, viewpoints in general? Maybe just break the General posting down into two sections to keep it smaller and easier to manage is all I'm thinking. What do you think?

Hey, I was just thinking yesterday that an "anger" forum would be really handy ;-) -- I think a place to just vent would be a great idea.
I also think, given the increasing numbers of them populating the place, that we could use a "teen" forum. Candy |

Yah at another board I belonged to we had a "rant" board where you just go off on what is bothering you, scream, whatever you feel like and it is locked from anyone else replying to these threads! I really liked it

Folks, it's an interesting idea, but I'm not a fan of an anger board (I think there's enough places to be angry already online!)... and as far as updates, well, people do that already in the support forums they hang out in.
Appreciate the suggestions though.

An anger forum works on some boards. If you are interested, I know of a good board (IMO) which includes an Anger forum of sorts. It isn't often used though, as people usually work out their "stuff" on the main forums.
Take care, Fuzzy

yeah, like I said, I'm not much on "venting" either... but DocJohn, for those who post in several areas... rather than have to post in several areas the same thing... it would be good. Unless... you'd like to add a "multiple posting" option... like we need to be able to blast PMs too IMHO sigh.
and again my reasoning (not always logical) is that the GENERAL FORUM has too many new posts and I'm having trouble keeping up. Well, I read nearly 700 wpm, so if I'm having trouble I KNOW others are too. Though I am selective in which forums I regularly read... I don't like to miss posts in those forums.

I like the idea of an anger forum, not so much for ranting and venting, but to discuss anger in its various forms and find out how others cope with their anger. I just read "The Dance of Anger," by Lerner, and I would love to have a place to discuss some of the (very empowering) ideas in it. For those of us with anger issues, it would be good to have a specific place to go.
