08:1128655I agree PaulB. The 'one liners' (unless, of course, highly amusing and witty) do not normally make any type of constructive comment or play an active part on the forum. I have trawled through many types of different forums near and far and the one thing they all miss is this forums social side and 'club like' atomsphere. It hopefully prevents annomosity as we one submits a post one often knows most of the other forumites by name sight or even socially.
Without wishing to name anyone (
) what we don't need is someones life story running on this forum and another one at the same time or new threads being posted simultaneously here and elsewhere.
I have not noticed any decline in postings but would be interested to learn whether that is case from the DF team.

11:0628666Ross, so sorry to hear that news, it must be a very worrying time for you both.I do hope that with treatment and the passing of time, your partner gets well again.
Re the forum postings, there will always be more of a fluctuation in activity during the summer months as people have places to be and lots to do enjoying our rare sunshine weeks but generally the forum is always busy enough to read something new and topical every day. Members who look in and dont find something that interests them should perhaps start their own topic. The home page is an ever changing hive of activity with photos and stories galore to comment on

14:4328678Ross, best wishes to you both. As I know only too well, it can be hard on the partner of the person with the disease as well. It can be difficult to keep things together at times and you have to be strong to help their healing, my advice, revitalise yourself with a full body aromatherapy massage, it worked wonders for me at the most difficult times.

15:5128680Some very interesting positive posts there and some interesting comments and views. Was useful to read them all. Totally in harmony with Marek in post 21. Totally.
Would just like to urge all members to participate and not just leave it to the daily workers who keep it going. Without them this Members Club would be sunk, so "help them out" is the message.

15:5228721Keef just a tip tho..I see you have put up lots of posts today and you mean well but they are all mostly one liners. Oneliners dont give the person coming along behind you anything to respond to, therefore the posts dry up.
Thats the point I was making before about one liners...occasionally they are appropriate, but you get my general drift?
