I've found the .Org, especially the general forum, very different from any other forum I post to!
The others are more specialised, e.g. genealogy, where the members all have one common interest. Probably most other Orgers also post to a number of different forums too.
Recently I've just been pondering if it might be an idea to have a separate health and wellbeing thread, as there have been quite a lot of posts on the general forum which would, one way or another, fall into this category. Topics that perhaps don't sit that well on the general forum.
People would not want to post anything too personal, I realise, but it might be a good way to point them towards more information, or find some support from others in the same situation.
I've had a lot of pms from .Orgers where we've found some common ground and been able to talk about things that we might well not want to broadcast to all and sundry. A pm has been more appropriate -but it has taken the initial post to see that there's someone there who may have similar interest/problems to you.
