The Success Stories forum is nowhere near as active as the other forums ... fewer threads and lots fewer viewers. Isolating "success" threads to this backroom forum unbalances the rest of the forums, which are mostly about troubles, problems, unhappiness, confusion, disgruntlement with eH, etc.

Undoubtedly people come here to vent when they're not happy, or to ask for feedback on problems, etc., but it just seems unbalanced to me.

Maybe delete the SS forum, and somehow encourage people to post happy stuff in the remaining forums?

But why would we want them to bring the positive vibe there? That would kill the banter and spoil the fun!

Plus I personally think (not all) there are some who almost like keep reminding us that they've found somebody.....kinda rubbing it in our face all the time. Yep..happy for ya...first time, second time...after a while I think they need to go to the smokers loung..I mean to the success story forum and hang out with other happy couples

Kinda like you bought a new car..and keep driving it in front of your neighbor who's driving a 1992 Toyota (not dissing Toyota btw ).

Problem seems to be that those posts would then fall right off the first page.

I think there is merit to keeping a place that isn't full of the usual wails ... maybe advertise it better?
