The one I was in was active from 2000 to 2007 - not too shabby a time-record methinks.

> I suppose scope would be one of the main things to consider. Are we talking about starting a group of those of us former babblers who want to stay in touch? A semi private group? Or is the idea to expand membership and be more of a mental health support website? It seems to me that the former would be a more feasible idea and require less investment, but also more vulnerable to the drifting away that seems to occur naturally.I'm more interested in the former. What would a semi-private group be?
