"Support Forum"

[MINI Cooper]

'support forum'
The title says how I no longer feel.

I think I am going to depart ways from the forum.
It is no longer how it used to be and has brought me more
distress than anything else lately. Between the lack of
'support' and constant porn spamming in my inbox with no
end in sight, I feel I must leave this forum.

I thank those who I have made lifelong friends with, we will
continue to chat outside this place.
To anyone else who would like to keep in touch, please
sent me a message now. I will give it a week to collect messages
then will not be back and may cancel my account.

Thanks for understanding

Porn spamming? WTF? I don't understand why anyone would do that in this type of forum but I guess there are immature people in every kind of forum.

To anyone else thinking of leaving, I would suggest to not let it get to you. Take a break if that helps but remember that this is going to happen on ANY forum you join no matter what. It's the internet, it happens. I think its sad that so many people are leaving this site not to long after I joined. I wish people wouldn't let this stuff get to them cause there are a lot of people here that could use your help and support.

I agree with Crabby. It seems like so many people are leaving and I just joined recently. But I understand that people need to do what they need to do to stay healthy and positive. Sorry to see you go MiniCooper. I hope you find the support you need

I'm sorry about the porn spam messages. This forum isn't going anywhere and you can always come back. I'll talk to you later my friend.

i just wanted to say that i'm always sad to see any member leave us, but particularly sad in this instance, Mini. you've been here a long time, and i completely understand that there have been issues on the forum in recent months - however, most of them have been addressed and sorted out!

i'm wondering when you last logged in before today, as spam pms have stopped since i altered the private messages in the control panel.

the member issues which i think you are referring to have also been cleared up, and i have seen the support side of things increase greatly in recent weeks. plus - the staff are working very hard to get Crohn's Forum running at it's best, we're implementing different things, keeping on top of any problems that arise, and all our regular members know we are there to help them and do what we can..... i would ask you to maybe reconsider, have a look at the dates on your spam pms, and look through the recent support posts.

of course, if you really want to leave, there's nothing i can do - i just think it would be a shame if you left based on past happenings that have now been righted.

Ditto what everyone else has said Mini. So many new friends made and then poof they're gone.
I will miss you as you have become one of those friends. Take care.

mini dont cancel your account, leave it open. you can always come back at a later date. aand we need to see pictures of your car dressed up and the new baby, though its not so new anymore.
you know where we are if you ever need us again.

 

[GoJohnnyGo]

Sorry you feel that way MINI. I think it's to all of us to try and upgrade the the forum and work through technical glitches.

I hope you reconsider. You are a valuable contributer.

 

[My Butt Hurts]

Wow. Just wow.
I didn't know what to write last night, and this morning words escape me as well.

I knew that people we having mixed feelings about some of the problems we were going through, but I never thought that anyone didn't feel supported.
Please know that we are always here if you need us. You will be missed here, but you know where to find me.

I knew you werent around much this passed while honey and understand what you are saying.

Many of us here have already missed you around - sometimes though things are what you make of them eh? I know that probably doesnt sound right in any way but if as GJG says that it is up to each of us to contribute and MAKE it better.

In many respects we just dont have alot of energy as individuals and emotional incidents happening drain us even more.

Recharging and taking a step back can be a good thing.

My thoughts on no support however are if you arent here talking to us how can you be supported honey??

Yes being in the background you can watch and listen and talk via other ways to those you want to but it doesnt provide the support you and we as individuals all need does it??

Ponder what I have said. Please understand that you are greatly and fondly thought of often. Have been missed and noticed missed.

Leaving is your decision BUT remember out of sight will never be out of mind.

((Hugs))

Mini, I never really got to know you but am saddened at the fact that you feel you need to leave. I of course understand the need to back away sometimes and have done it not so long ago. I hope you are well and that you come back at some point.
Take good care.

mini dont cancel your account, leave it open. you can always come back at a later date.

I agree. I'll be sorry to see you go.

 

[CrohnsHobo]

Best of luck to you and sorry to see you go.

...take care.....You in box is full. I imagine a ton of members are begging you to reconsider. Take a deep breath and think things over.
