Instead of saying 'goodbye'
to one an other...
with seven days notice
now much less than that
as the clock ticks,
why not give Hercules'
initiative a try whereby
we can remain in contact
at the new link below...
whereby we won't lose out
by such change, providing others here, join us there.
http://temporarysocialforum.freeforums.net/
I have subscribed why don't you?
If you wish to continue where you left off
as a result of the major change here...
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,
a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

...and in particular if you would feel more vulnerable
without your connection to friends, with folk here
as it was
but now won't be, within the next few days
as the present site is closing down
and as far as I understand won't have
a social site when it reappears in the new year.

I don't think I'll be interested in coming back to this site in the new year if it doesn't have a social site. I was wondering if this temporary forum is just prolonging the afterglow so to speak of our social forum until this site is up and running again and then say goodbye at that time or if it'll end up being permanent we'll leave here and go there if we choose to socialize cause then I would be interested in joining it.
I was going to tell you all about my trip to your beautiful country next summer too David.
I bought a book last week of Capability Brown and English landscape gardens at the weekend market, very nice.
It sounds like Dr Long just wants to make this site an educational site on mental illness, I've been to cognitive behavioural therapy,dialectical behavioural therapy,learned aversion therapy,saw a very good and reputable psychologist so I won't be needing that. What I need is more people to talk and relate tonot it just be all about what I've already learned, went through. |

You raise a valid point Mike
as to whether there is permanency or not in this
newly established site that Hercules has created.
The word temporary he uses I consider justified
in that no one knows if it will succeed further
until s times as a membership worthy o making it
more permanent is worthwhile.
Please note this is not a coup
with regard My Therapy
aka the Psych community
in more recent times, I see it
more a safety net for those who
don't feel they can
slot into the new proposals
that are to be implemented
here in the new year.
Nothing more than that is implied
or indeed intended.
It may be, (also like you , I and others)
that are not prepared psychologically,
to wait several weeks or so for such
a transition to be implemented...
geared up in the main for study purposes.
What's more from what I comprehend no
social facility on board.
Hence the reason for not just a stop-gap
as it is tentatively described
for the time being at least,
but a more permanent alternative, whereby
we can continue to interact with those we
have established a relationship over many a year
and don't wish to disconnect from, under any circumstances.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,
a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

In moving on does not mean I don't wish
the updated Psch community...
(especially as a lead member since it's inauguration
in the Spring of 2005),
all the very best for the future!

If everyone wants it to be permanent then it can be permanent. We can have a discussion about that but would prefer the discussion to be on the other site. Just join Mike you won't regret it.
It will be mint. There are a bunch of cool features that the new place has that you will really like.
We need a few brave people to be the first to come over then everyone will. Be one of the first people Mike.

I agree with
all you say here Hercules!
and once again commend you for coming
up with a such a proposal at the eleventh hour
at what coincidentally is the eleventh month
at a time of need, when it comes to keeping
us together as a team.
For dispersal would have proved unsettling for many of us
no matter Doctor Long's best intentions for change!

UPDATE**Have 3 peeps now**
Once we get even 4-5 people we can start up some socialising/discussion topics over there.

I think it factual to say
we are getting there Hercules
By possible doubling that score...
Thanks to your initial 'brain wave'!
