I want my Covid stats and research data information....I feel like going round shouting "Need input! Need Input" very Johnny number 5 like.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

A shame, not something I welcome, but understandable.Personally, I'll take a few days' timeout to let this outcome feed through in terms of people considering the future nature of their interaction with the forums, but then get back to the reason I joined in the first place, the moneysaving. I think the one big negative about DT - not the MS Arms Forum itself which I would hope returns quickly with a "no religion or politics" rule, but DT in particular - is that it does have the effect of sucking people away from other forums, which for almost everyone is surely the reason they signed up in the first place.4

I think I can understand why they have been closed, it was turning nasty, shame because some real good regulars and interesting topics, the reporting was getting out of hand so I suspect it left the MSE team with no other option but to close, they couldn't possibly monitor all the reports they were being inundated with.HornetSaver said:A shame, not something I welcome, but understandable.Personally, I'll take a few days' timeout to let this outcome feed through in terms of people considering the future nature of their interaction with the forums, but then get back to the reason I joined in the first place, the moneysaving.

Except they've closed it when the report function isn't working. It hasn't been working since about the 15th.WillimS2020 said:

If people are pining for The Arms experience, why not set up your own forum?4

On the bright side all those new posters will have to try and find the correct forum instead of posting on Discussion Time. I wonder what the default forum will be for those who can be bothered to find the right one.

That's what I did when the Debate board and in turn, The Nice people thread was under threat a few years ago...it has come in handy since they have actually closed it now.Cornucopia said:If people are pining for The Arms experience, why not set up your own forum?We made it!
