Personally, I hung out more at MSWorld, and I am also over at Plaintalk quite a bit, but I hung out at PT prior to BT going off line.

Its nice to be back and see all the cast of characters returning :)

I went to MSWorld to read but not being able to post articles or links keeps me from connecting there.

I used braintalk2 when it started and was very happy to find old friends and postings on current research. But, I think I'll stay here.

PlainTalk is my home board, so that's where I spend most of my time. But I've been a member and occasional poster here for quite a while, and I thought/think highly of BrainTalk and John Lester, so here I am again.

I did read a fair amount at BrainTalk 2, but didn't join.

I lurked at thisisMS forum, they have some knowledgeable people and some of the BT folks were there. The scientific articles were over my head of course, but usually someone was able to make sense of them.

Mostly though I checked daily to see if BT was up and running. When BT2 came online I registered. I'll probably pop back once in a while.

I Joined Plaintalk, which is great and also BT2 where I mainly 'lurked'. I intend to try and keep up with a;; the forums if I can - a lot of people are members of several.

Hey BBS

My husband says I'm quite the character. :) I'm not sure what that means. (totally innocent)

I took the time to clean off my desk. I can see enough desk space to write in the dust now.

Thankfully I am a member of a small board that is my main home. But I did miss BT very much. Also I joined Agates board.

I flitted around the net reading mainly Tysabri experiences.

I found it too frustrating at sites that didn't allow you to post quoted facts and links but only opinions, speculation, and vague memories ("I think I remember my doctor - or was it my friend's doctor – telling me such and such about interferons – or was that about Copaxone?")

The sites that allow documented information and links were interesting, but didn't have all the resident BT experts and as many comprehensive discussions archived as BT did.

The sites with real doctors answering questions answered those questions with, "You should go see your doctor."

I stopped in Cafepharma for the daily pharma news links, but what a bunch of childish BS in the forum part!

One day I found that all 4 of my chosen forum stops were DOWN at the same time.

Soooo, once I gave up my frequent forum visits, I managed to accomplish tons of stuff in my real life. I was amazed at how little MS affects me when I'm not reading about it all day, but just working with it instead.

I sure did miss all of you guys, though. :)

At first I patiently waited and checked every day, then I started to give up hope. This is the only MS site I have used for the past couple years.
