Holy shit that's a lot of private diaries for you to manage... I guess I never really looked at the numbers on the side. Makes sense that you want to cut down on it a bit. Wow.

That new diary area sounds good, but I just want to add a comment about it. Obviously this doesn't apply to me directly, as I'm in the public area and plan on staying there. I'm assuming that the new area would be optional, like there still would be a totally private area for people if they wanted? Because personally, maybe this is just my issue or whatever, but I have problems with trust, and especially if I was very new I wouldn't want just *anyone* being able to advise me, no matter what their qualifications or how well they give advice. Someone giving good advice doesn't always impress me. What impresses me most is if the person has made great strides in their healing process. If they haven't, I think I would feel resentful to have them telling me what to do, when they aren't even able to do it themselves. Anyways, just wanted to say that, not that it applies to me, but others might feel the same way and don't want to say anything.

I'm glad you've closed the private area. That's really so much work for you and you need a break too!
