Thanks for the research, Phillipa. Hope it puts the article in perspective for members who were quoted.
I think it's unusual so many had referenced finding out about this site from the NY Times. Could be another one of Dr. Bob's experiments for all I know, a social-media-promoting-mental-health-experiment-as-a-result-of-the-recent-twitter-facebook-incident.
From experience, I've never used a forum where new members continually state where they "found out" about the forum in their postings. I'm pretty intuitive, but then again gut feelings can be wrong as well.
Might not matter to some, but the last time I found out there was an influx of new members/posters for the purposes of an experiment, I wasn't comfortable with the thought of having conversations with people who might not have mental health issues, but instead, were part of an experiment. (Not that experiments are bad).
Good luck to all in finding what works and hope it works out for the best!
