All,
I'm an AML survivor that frequents the LLS boards and another AML support group at dailystrength.Org that I dearly love.
I am concerned about the format changes. These support groups are the only form of "social media" I use.
I am providing a link below of the CML support group on daily strength

I would suggest waiting to see how things turn out before signing up for various chat groups. We should do some research and generally decide together what to do rather than all go in random directions. There are quite a few chats out there. I chose LLS for a good reason. If LLS cares about us they will resolve this. We shall see.

I agree with Trey. I emailed my concerns to LLS, and I did hear back from several people. They seem to understand the importance of the issues we've raised. They are very excited, as they should be, about the potential opportunities for research and education that will be available in the new community. I just don't think they realized the problems that would be caused by the changes to the format of our discussion board. I'm hoping that now that they understand, they will preserve the structure of the board that has enabled so many of us to get the practical help and emotional support that we have come to rely on.

We need to remember that unless the changes are truly horrendous we can adjust. At my workplace we constantly have changes made to our applications, we complain about it for awhile, but we learn how to use it.
Some of the changes made at my workplace are due to end of life for servers, running out of storage space on servers, the applications becoming that old that trying to maintain them just costs too much money and is unworkable and there is no support provided to them etc.
I think I'll wait and see and hope they can provide something that continues to provide the forum experience plus gives us something new and useful.
