>> Alli could you give me an approximate date when the board was in the state you would like it returned to?
It's been fascinating watching the changes on Babble.<<>>> I wish this board could return to a freer state <<<--alii
OddipusRex,I do not think of babble as having had a golden age that was and now has been lost but without doing exhaustive archive searches to bring up the specifics of what I mean about tone change and moderator/administration change it is hard to explain. I've been a lurker since the beginning and I agree the changes have been 'fascinating' to watch but fascinating suggests that this board is like some sort of soap opera or daily that one comes to to follow the lives of the players. I find it more inspirational to follow the stories of those who have struggled against depression 8+ years. Ten years. Twenty years. And they're still here trying meds and talking about the shit they're going through but unable to do so in the fashion they might have been able to do about when Pax suggested mebeeeee 2000ish....not sure.
Like I said without exhaustive search for specifics I cannot adequately answer your question nor do I really think of a golden age.
I miss many who no longer post due to board moderation/(mis)administration or rules or for whatever reason they don't post anymore. I find the barage of new names overwhelming and the same questions being answered again and again without people searching the archives frustrating but I am but a user of this board. I have many frustrations. ;)
Namaste OR.
