Just commented. I do hope they listen to us.

Is there a summary of the proposed changes anywhere? By reading, all I can tell is they're considering a "like" button. Is this now Facebook? I loathe that site for many reasons, including the popularity contest on posts.

I echo others when I say: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hi FelineMum:

Per Ceanna's original post, the latest (rather broad and vague) explanation from the Moderators on Jan. 22, 2018 is on the third page of the linked thread and here's a direct link to the post:

https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/135/topics/860125?page=3#post_5132791

Please post any comments or ideas you may have in that thread for consolidation.

I will be sorry to see this site go through such changes; it will have an impact on whether I continue to use it

I do not like the idea of the proposed changes. I do not like the idea of being shown only what the site "thinks" I want to see. Facebook does this and I cannot see all of my friends posts because they don't think I want to see them. It annoys me to no end. I have certain topics I am interested in AND I have been able to help people who are newer with my experience. By taking away MY choice of what I see, I may miss out. If I cannot see what is going on, I would lose the desire to use this site. Please reconsider.

The ads I can understand to pay for the administration of this site BUT I would hate to see ads for drugs etc or have ads all over the forums.

It sounds more and more like everything will be divided up into separate "rooms." I hope not. There is too much overlap and we learn a lot from those who have different diagnoses than our own.

The changes will not separate anyone. Quite the opposite. We promise. We adore this community as much as you.

I was wondering why there is so little traffic in the forums (compared to the activity in previous years). :

I don't want to be divided. I find it so encouraging that stage 4 BC members are hanging in. I wouldn't want to be separated from any of my friends here.

The links to the original mod posts are now broken. Does anyone know where they have been moved?

Beesie · February 2018

The discussion thread was moved. It’s now actually in the same forum as this thread, right below on the list. Here is a link: https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/93/topics/860125?page=6#idx_171
