To All,
Speaking from a socially avoidant perspective, exclusion can be very painful and down right dangerous for some people who share this malady. We tend to be very sensitive to rejection. Yes, I wonder about some of those from a couple of years back who were either very helpful or going through great pain themselves. Some were of great support to me when I was very suicidal. At times it feels like losing family. There was more of a sense of community, but I'm not sure an 'oldies' board would promote community, just a great divide - "I was here before you were."
I must admit, my nostalgia isn't terribly strong since losing so much of my memory following ECT, so you can take that into account. I simply don't remember what all went on, just bits and pieces.More food for thought,
Chris A.
