"A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way"

If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars" -Carl Sagan
I've got some ideas on how to make it a better website.
1) Chat is not compatible with my new Ipad. It says I 'need to install or upgrade Adobe Flash Player. Version 10.2 or higher is required. Get Adobe Flash player.'
2) Is there going to be an anxietyspace.com app in the future? It would be really cool to access it on my iPhone.
Thanks for that.
There is a mobile version of the chat (without video) is available here. There isn't any plans for an app, but a rebuilt of the mobile version of the site including the chat will be done in the future, although there is no timeframe yet.
Would anyone be interested in creating voting tournaments? Like NCAA bracket style tournaments for silly stuff like best cereal or best N64 games. I think it could be a lot of fun.

Probably have a section on schoolwork and occupation so we can share ideas on how to cope with homework (i.e. share math recipes for success, homework help, etc.) and occupation (where we share computer programs and scripts to get stuff done at work).
Thank you! Being an older member, I don't think I have much to say outside of occupation topics and some schoolwork.
Another idea == A Farewell Section for those who keep on threatening to leave or for real. Would be curious to know why certain people disappear for a while from forums since I threaten to blow the joint every few days meshelf. I am waiting for a couple things to happen in my life, and that's it for me and SAS and AS and Anxiety Forums etc.
You know, I like the farewell section idea too. If we know somebody is going to take a break and why, then it would save us closing down our pages and stuff. When I thought I was taking a break, I was afraid when I came back I would have no friends. So I deleted them and I had to find them and apologize and ask them to be my friend again. I think I lost a few in the process
But if we had a section where we could write things like "I'm taking a break for awhile because I'm spending too much time here and not getting work done," or something like that, then it would let others know where you are.
I think it would also be a good place for people who are feeling invisible, lonely, etc to be heard. I know a lot of times I've read where people want to leave because they don't feel they contribute or are being heard. It actually could be a good place for people to get some support in case that is why they want to leave. I was literally nuts when I deleted my friends and if I had posted in that thread before deleting everyone then maybe somebody could have talked me down off the roof.
I'm not saying the thread needs to be anybody rescuing anybody. I just think it lets people know you are struggling. And think about it. Running away is one of the unhealthy things we all do around here. It's my first line of defense whenever I get triggered. If I read just one person's response saying "well, hurry back" or "wanna pm me to talk about it" or "we'll miss you," that might be enough to ground me. I ended up having a few friend's emails (kicking me in the butt like I needed) to slow down enough to stop what I was doing.
I don't think I would put it at the top though where the introductions are. People just joining would wonder why we have a farewell thread. Maybe towards the bottom. I think it would also be better to hide it like some of the sections are. It's nobody but the member's business, why we want to leave.
Also, I've seen on other forums (that are not supportive like this one), where when somebody says they're leaving, mean people say mean things like "so long!" "so much drama" and other really snide remarks. I know the people here are nice, but it would probably need to be monitored pretty heavily.........especially if two people are fighting and that's the reason they are leaving. I used to see (in other places) people just gang up on the person who is leaving. And seriously, most of the time they're leaving because of some trigger or hurt. Why kick somebody further when you can do the right thing and support them? It was definitely the bully syndrome and just broke my heart to see it happen over and over.
Anyway, great idea cavemanslastand. Of course it's you guy in charge's decision. I was just thinking it was a good idea.

And hey wait!!! Just because we're older than these "younguns" around here doesn't mean we don't have good stuff to say. I just brought up Woodstock and The Exorcist movie today. This place needs us to spread a little nostalgic culture around here.

Er...pretty please?
"on leave" or "taking a break" is much better than "banned on request" or words to that effect!
