Just a thought: It is so much less busy now than it used to be here.

[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 686764, member: 11832"] I agree that it is much less "busy" here that it was when I first joined around 2003. General was a hopping place then. I notice that now people that post there don't get many responses to their initial post. This is simply my opinion, but I think when you are a parent, feeling raw with the emotion of having a child out of sorts enough to have you google "conduct disorder," that your very first post needs to be responded to with compassion, empathy, and a nugget or two of advice. I think that if you don't feel a connection with board members, immediately, that you are probably not going to bother to return. This board, though, is still more visited that others that I have joined. When I discovered that Ferb had stolen my credit card and charged thousands of dollars on it for his Xbox, I joined a board for parents of kids addicted to gaming. That place was a complete ghost town. You can't have conversations with people who never post. That was a bust, so I returned here. At least here I could get some feedback. Hi, Janet! Hi, Fran!:jumphappy: [/QUOTE]
