the new members can access the live help line I believe and those of us who are not so new (what ever) are booted out unless there is an emergency. It feels like need is determined and measured in events just played out and it isn’t considered important to help prevent the event. I feel like it could lead some to go out and create problems just so they can have a reason to be heard and spoken too. I also think that if there isn’t anyone showing up to chat why can’t we use the space. I just worry about being needy and not being understood. I know that when I returned to the forum and was really troubled and was trying to connect in the new format I was booted out a few times and it was not a nice feeling. For one thing I wasn’t able to connect easily and once I did I got excited to think i would be able to chat only to discover i wasn’t able to. I hope that the powers that be can see that not all changes are the best changes.
I am trying to keep up my journal and trying to read other journals but I’m so tired it isn’t always easy for me. trying to connect with all the wonderful folks here is the tough part and I much prefer the groups when we can all chat at once. FG
