This message forum was made with the express intent of allowing writers a place to unwind, let loose, and spout off about anything they wanted to talk about, needed to discuss, or felt inclined to share. It was a safe space for good days, bad days, and every kind of day in-between. We don't have enough of these kinds of spaces. And it's sad to another one boarded up and inactive.

The last post in this forum was back in 2020, peak-Covid times. With the world shut down and nothing but time on our hands, I'm really surprised a forum like this didn't jump off into extreme popularity.

I find the idea and concept genuinely beneficial to the community. It's great having a place to vent or just talk about your day, unfiltered, unapologetic, raw, and open. Blogging can achieve something similar, but it's an isolated expression of emotional outpouring and can still leave you feeling vulnerable, sad, angry, isolated, misunderstood, and alone. This is a more collaborative and community-involving approach. And I love that. Sometimes just raging your fingers over the keyboards and posting your frustrations is therapeutic enough knowing someone out there can reply and you can have an exchange with them. I know it is for me.

I'm genuinely curious if you've considered revisiting this forum? I see you haven't logged on in quite some time so perhaps you've moved on to greener pastures or are going through one of those bad day periods that stretch into months or longer.

Just know you have a supportive community waiting for you to get back in action! We need spaces like this.

If you revisit this forum, you might want to consider posting some open-ended questions about things that make good days or bad days so posters have some structure in their actions. Some members might find it easier and less stressful in that approach. Something as simple as a daily or weekly question like: "Tell me your number one pet-peeve" or "What's angering you this morning?" or "Tell me about the last time you smiled and weren't faking it."

I hope to see you and your forum around sometime.
