> I was looking at the archives and wow, we had some good conversations here. Lots of long, detailed posts about therapy and life. I felt so understood and supported here, and grateful for the intelligence, empathy, wit, and life experience everyone shared. If any old-timers are reading, I would love it if you'd say Hi.

> There doesn't even seem to be anyone posting about therapy any more. Has it gone out of fashion? Or has posting about it on this board just gone out of fashion?It does seem that Psychology has taken the biggest hit. The people who were the most active on this board were among the first to leave the forum because of:
1. Style of moderation.
2. Lack of moderation.I think that both situations made it difficult for people to feel safe enough to make themselves vulnerable by sharing what they were experiencing in and out of therapy.
A few of our old favorites do pop in from time to time, but this seems to happen more on the Social board. I hope that people will post here in response to your request.
I wish I had better news. I think Psycho-Babble could be resurrected to a great degree if Dr. Bob were to return to moderate it. I have written him letters - sometimes with a reply. It wouldn't hurt for him to hear from more people.
I hope you find reasons to stick around for awhile.
