Hey guys, I've been thinking about adding some more forums, but I want to make sure there is a need for them before adding any more. I really don't want to go about creating new forums if no one ends up using them. So let me ask you...
Would you be interested in having the men and women forums expanded? The reason I created the forums in the first place was to give men and women a place where they would feel comfortable discussing issues pertaining to their own gender. For example, issues such as sexuality or parenthood. What do you guys think? Do you even think gender specific forums are necessary? Or should I do away with them entirely?
Also, I've been thinking about possibly adding some more survivor forums, such as a substance abuse forum, medications forum, and creative writing forum. Anyone interested?
Let me know if you have any of your own suggestions. I am all ears.

By now, you've probably noticed a whole bunch of new forums. Both the Men's Issues and Women's Issues have been expanded. I will be moderating the Men's Issues forums and wildlavender will be moderating the Women's Issues forums. Depending on your gender, you will have access to the Men's Issues or Women's Issues forums. If your gender hasn't been made public, you will not have access to either of them. Some other Survivor Forums were also added, including a Dream Journal, Substance Abuse forum, Medications forum, Inspiring Words forum, and a Creative Writing forum. Finally, there is a new public forum called Support Network. I will keep these new forums around for a trial period, after which I will remove them if they are not being used. Have fun.

On second thought, I've reduced the Men's Issues and Women's Issues forums down to just one General forum, respectively. However, I will keep them separate from the survivor forums to restrict access by gender.

I've renamed the Substance Abuse forum to the Addictions forum. I did this to expand on the subject matter. The Addictions forum will now cover substance abuse problems, eating disorders, sex addiction, and self-inflicted injuries.

After talking it over with wildlavender, I have decided to do away with the gender forums because I think there are more similarities than differences in our experiences growing up with covert incest and that much can be gained from reading about the experiences of the opposite sex.
Although there are probably some topics that members would rather only discuss with their own gender, I think people would go to men or female only forums for such discussions.
By the way, feel free to suggest forums for male or female survivors in the Support Network forum. I will post some there myself.

I have decided to retire the Dream Journal and Creative Writing forums because I don't they would be used much or at all. Let me know if you would like to have them back.
