Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary
The point of the new forum would be that it would be possible to divide the bac stuff into forums into different forums. There could be a forum where people just talk about side effects, and one where people could just keep up with each other, and one where all the research stuff is kept, and forums for issues besides AL. Right now on that site there are categories for depression, anxiety, phobias, etc.
The problem I see with that is that, to me, the meds forum here is as much about connecting with people as it about trying to figure out baclofen. It's been incredibly important to me to be able to do that. If people are given free rein to really talk to each other, the categories are going to degrade, and the people who want to keep the categories separate are going to be unhappy. I don't know if the new forum is going to work, and in its present forum, it's not some place I could call home, but there is not much participation there yet. its very new and evolving.
The other problem that I see is that people from the general discussion areas who are not finding what they need tend to eventually find their way to the meds forum. That's how I learned about baclofen was coming from general discussion to the meds forum. How did you discover baclofen being used in this way? The new baclofen forum is not going to have that. In a Google search, much of what I look for regarding AL and baclofen comes up with MWO threads because there has already been so much discussion about it here. The new forum is not going to have that either.
Anyway, this is the new forum:
Baclofen Forum
And discussion like this should probably be moved to Anon's thread, since he is the one endeavoring to put the new forum together and really wants people suggestions as to what they would like to see. His thread is here:
