I thought I would set them up if no-one wants to use them then that is fine but I thought it was a good idea at the time. I forgot it was BEcky's anniversary.

Here's an idea ... ask Marcus to set up a new "Fun Forum" that way you can keep all your fun topics together in one place and keep the General Forum for treatment related topics.
Just a thought.
Take care,
Lotsa love

Hi Michelle
Thanks for your opinion I am not to sure that Marcus wants lots of forums because when I put two forward he said he would honour us one. The general forum is what it says for anything really so this is I created these threads so we can chat on each day.
I can always ask the question though
Love

Hi Becky,
I often worry if I upset people because I have a fun attitude to life - I am also going through IVF so know how sensitive it can be but we are constantly telling each other and ourselves to relax - what better way to relax than to have a bit of fun.
You have not upset me in any way, we have had a big debate on friends when little p. had a bad day and we all agreed friends are there for the good and bad times - it's upto us to help create the good times because nature has created so many bad times for us.
Keep up the fun and if people are offended then they don't have to be part of that particular thread.
Sorry about your loss and the tough times you have been through, you are a constant insperation to all of us xxxx

guys this has all gotten way out of hand..
this is not what we are about..
it seems that we have become devided..
this cannot go on..
we live with this with so many other people..
it cant happen here.
i came back from a wonderful couple of days to see all of this..
i cant say for anyone else but we might all need to take a step back..
i cant fothum someone just signing up..
that makes me sick...
i loved this forum cause it helped and i thought it was wonderful to see so
many women helping eachother and to finaly have friends that knew what i was feeling..
what post are fake? i am lost on that part..
but the important part is that we are not being there for eachother..

I agree with you.
I am confused as to what has happened. I did read a post which I thought was out of hand in its comments but didn't realise this was somehting more sinister.
I find this board very useful, supportive and helpful.
Please don't let something so good go wrong. I haven't commented on all this so far but today felt compelled.

i might have stuck my foot in my mouth
and i am sorry that i upset anyone.
but i am not sorry for saying what i think..
that doesnt make what i say right or wrong.
i think that if people would have been honest about what they had been thinking then this might not have had to happen.
i do know that part of suporting a person is also picking them up when they are down. i thought the post as a good pick me up..
but that is just me.. no one has to agree.
i know that i have alot to decide and at times i need a break. as well as some advice.
like will i love my donors child as much as if it came from me and my husbands?
this scares me alot.

I need to say something as this is upsetting me now. I used to look forward to logging on here and just being myself, multi-faceted, serious and fun. I now feel self-concious about what I write, and to be honest didn't feel like logging on the last couple of days I was too fed up.
Of course this board seems a bit closed and there is lot to catch up with when you are new. Visit other forums, it's just the same. You have to invest time to catch up with friends, and you have to invest time if you want to say something meaningful to 15-20 women on a monthly buddy thread. If you only want to follow one or two threads then do it, and leave this board to evolve naturally. That's why its called an "online community", not an online fact-sheet. The board is busy as there are lots of people on here, lots of new faces. Why? because it's fun and welcoming and serious at the same time. That's life. There is a confusion here about the issue of too many threads and too many posts in a thread. I don't understand the issue with subjects dropping off the page, we all have a mouse and a scroll bar, you only ever have to go back a couple of pages to find a favourite topic, it's bound to happen when the board is very busy. Thank God the board is busy, it would be no fun if the same 10 topics just hung around...and the community was too samll for good exchange. There are plenty of boards out there that are moderated to death...please don't ask to over administrate this one or complicate it any more and make it like that, you'll kill the spirit.
Serious topics always get air time and always get answers, that's why there is the freedom to start new threads when a key issue needs to be raised. There are forums for key topics and they do also get visited, I know I check the donor egg one regularly as that is my major issue. That's a question of choice, creating more forums wont change the fact that people tend to prefer to all be in one "room" together (trust me on this I was an ebusiness strategy consultant and online communities were my bread and butter)
I am not on my soap box, I am upset. I feel better now that's off my chest, and make no apologies for now going back to posting how I have done up til now. I agree with Becky that we should all just get back to supporting eachother, please.

Hear, hear.
As someone who has chosen not to share my infertility woes with anyone outside my marriage, I am incredibly grateful for the support I have found on this board. This support has come in many ways, shapes and forms. Some of you have shared useful information and experiences, others have ensured that I had a good belly laugh when I needed it. Many of you have shared in my joys and my sadness and I feel privileged that you have allowed me also to share in a very personal part of your lives.
I like the relaxed atmosphere of the board and hope that people continue to feel comfortable enough to contribute in any way that they deem suitable. I too am going to continue to post as I always have knowing that ultimately we all have a choice about which threads we read and which we don't. Surely the fact that the board is so busy in an indication of it's success.
I thank you all for your contributions. The vast diversity of members has maintained the vibrancy of the board and I hope this continues well into the future.
Cheers
Heather

I just wanted to say that it is a shame that after this... a few people have not been posting.
Is this forum a support group or just a place to ask questions about IVF? If it is only for IVF then I have been through that stage It has answered many questions and I have been able to talk about things nobody else can even try and understand.... But now, if I have something to say, I think.... maybe I shouldn't.
Sorry girls, I've just read this thread and I feel really disappointed.
