Kate gave me the keys to Wreaked and Bonkers. I hope to do a good job for you all. I want to keep things as Kate started them, with Welcome and Encouraging posts.
First order of business:
Now we need to decide if we want an open or closed forum.
One one hand a closed gives us some privacy. It would be by an approval system only. In other words, by a Doctor's reccomendation..just kidding!! But you would have to ask to come in here.
I will need the help of one of the mods to set all this up, it took me two hours to figure out how to do a poll!
On the other hand a closed forum would mean people who just want to make a comment on ..let's say the sleep thread, won't be allowed. Also people who just want to give a word of encouragement can't see the threads.
This restricts our input from people who may want to dip a toe in to test the water.
It keeps people from making unpleasent comments too. Not that we've had a problem with that. We do have a report button for that.
In my opinion we are not different from any one else on the board, we all have problems even if we don't admit to them. I am not sure if I want to be secretive about it. I do understand that some people may want to take small steps in sharing problems.
I do wish we could have it both ways, part open to everyone..like the sleep thread and some of the more common health and mental problems. Then have a locked area for members only for more sensitive subjects.
It's up to you, Vote yes or no, if you are unsure, click that, if you aren't a group member..but just have to click..click that one!
Input welcome!!!
