Staying put here... is my prefered object having been around for as almost as long of this fellowship has existed.
That is not to say I don't welcome Hercules initiative to accommodate a stop gap or more permanent transfer elsewhere, after all I participated in the initial proceedings.
However, when push cane to shove I just couldn't let go of what we have here. Even though we are about to close down temporarily whilst what appears next is uncertain.
I am now prepared to wait and see... even though my initial reaction was not to do so.
The thing is... these particular boards have been around in one form or another for the best part of twelve years an our parent body Internet mental health for even longer.
So you can say we are well established and that means a great deal to me and possibly you also.
Therefore whatever changes are about to me implemented I think it reasonably safe to say, are well intentioned.
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.

Don't talk nonsense david and after 7 years of knowing you and giving you some degree of deference I am going to take some liberties with a light hearted scolding here.
You are having an attack of emotion here. No one said that coming to the temporary social site meant signing a contract. When this place gets up and going again you are welcome to either A belong to both sites B jump back to mt if it is s great place and if being a tutorial leader is an awesome thing to do
This caring group of people saved my life just 18 months ago. No body else wAs on my side except for mt and I avoided having a breakdown. Each time you have a breakdown there is a risk that you won't revover as your brain gets weaker with each repetition. Chelle talked me through it. But all of MT especially you deserve credit for keeping the place going.
And so a new leadership moment arises we need david's help to help kick start a new site even if it is temporary so that people have somewhere to turn for advice.
Be a leader david. The bible says where two people are gathered in my name anything is possible. We have 9 people who have signed up most of them did on the good faith belief that you would be part of the equation.
I don't know what I am saying anymore david but occurs to me that we need to keep Taking steps forward in life as trying to stand still doesn't seem to be an option. That means making new acquaintances, enrolling on new websites, and trying new things because we are on a treadmill that is moving backwards and we need to keep ploughing ahead just to stay even Stevens.
Look you yourself said Dr Long would have no problems with our new site. Those were your words. You are being emotional and you are having cold feet. I need a partner to pull this off and that means you. Please reconsider david even just in the short term until mt revives 6-12 months from now.
