Post by Blighted Ovum Board Admin on Feb 16, 2005 14:33:39 GMT -5
Betty posted about it being too confusing with multiple categories which I can see...so I've deleted the subcatgories. This is still divided into areas for those who are ttc and are pg after a loss as I think that will be important later. Any other ideas?
To be honest I'm a little sad that people are still using the other board and the yahoo group. This board has a lot more options, because people can start threads on a variety of topics people reading these threads can access them loads easier in the future and it has the potential to help more people in the long run. Some people aren't going to join but are rather going to just read in an attempt to make sense of their blighted ovum. I know this as I also receive emails through my website from people who choose not to join but are seeking addtional informion. That is part of what prompted this change. I do get that the change throws things off but people posting in the other two places instead of here mean it is going to take longer to get this one going. I appreciate those who have posted so far and I hope everyone will give it a chance. If everyone totally hates it after giving it a good chance then we can talk about putting the old links back on the website (it took hours to remove them so I don't want to do that without giving it a good shot )
Both of the other venues are basically one long form of content and anyone wanting to read past posts have to go through everything as it is organized from A through Z. The reason for trying it this way is to work on reaching even more people. I've seen how wonderful you all are to each other, I think there is a lot of opportunity here to reach out to even more others. With current technology it is easier to discover blighted ovums, and the word just isn't out there as to the what or why of it is. I think that is where this area can be a really good thing.
I hope everyone will bear with this and give this a chance. I am completely open to suggestions and am willing to change things as needed.
