Who has more posts and interactions the family site or this site?

Ninjastar · January 30, 2018, 3:35pm

This site is far more active.

far_cry0 · January 30, 2018, 3:38pm

This site for sure…!!

Andrey · January 30, 2018, 4:54pm

I’ve never set foot on the family forum. My folks don’t speak English, so there goes nothing…

anon20613941 · January 30, 2018, 5:06pm

Does the family site have their own mods?

far_cry0 · January 30, 2018, 5:18pm

Good question…!!! There is female admin in family forum…!!

anon20613941 · January 30, 2018, 5:19pm

@Ninjastar - do you guys mod on the family site?

Ninjastar · January 30, 2018, 5:23pm

No, the family site has its own mod team.

anon20613941 · January 30, 2018, 5:26pm

I just had a look on the family site. Has a whole different vibe compared to here.

anon84763962 · January 30, 2018, 7:43pm

What’s it like?

Do any sz people pay over there too point out when people give ■■■■ advice? Are they actually giving good advice that would actually help us?

I get the impression that most of the folk on this forum try to take meds most of the time. I got the impression most of the careers looked after folk who were off meds or very treatment resistant. There is more hope here.

anon84763962 · January 30, 2018, 7:50pm

Oh ok. Poor family members, that would be tough.

Ninjastar · January 30, 2018, 8:16pm

Yeah, it’s pretty bleak over there. I highly recommend staying away.

firemonkey · January 31, 2018, 5:10am

I post articles there , but don’t really get involved in the threads.

77nick77 · January 31, 2018, 5:45am

It’s not the size that matters, it’s how you use it. (yeah, like anyone’s going to believe that)

Rhubot · January 31, 2018, 6:55am

I think some of the anti-med, “there’s no wrong way” people could benefit from browsing through there for a bit, myself.

Rhubot · January 31, 2018, 7:21am

It used to be part of this forum, and some users from the diagnosed side would regularly post abusive feedback to the family members. It was moved to its own site to prevent that from happening, and to allow family members to get true peer support. So people from this board are strongly discouraged from posting over there, no matter how helpful they believe they are being. (Emphasis not directed at you! But at anyone following this topic.)

firemonkey · January 31, 2018, 7:28am

Perhaps I should stop posting there then. Although as I said it’s very much articles I post there.

Rhubot · January 31, 2018, 7:32am

Yeah, your articles are good, and very helpful.

I don’t think you participate in discussion over there or create personal threads, and that’s the kind of thing we’re trying to avoid.
