My word, does no one have anything better to do than gripe and complain about categories? **rolls eyes**

In fact, I think this protest is quite the opposite. Like Wheezie said, we don't want to have to spend 20 minutes clicking from topic to topic to see if there's anything relevant there. This is our one way of trying to show we're not happy with the change. It wasn't even announced, the new category is just made, things are moved, and if kayleesgrandma hadn't said anything, would it have even been mentioned?

Personally, I feel perhaps a poll would have been good here. When I first got here, there were polls, so I know that the site is able to do that- it sucks to be a part of a site, and then once again feel like our opinion doesn't matter. It would be NICE, obviously we're not owed this, but it would be nice to be polled- does this work for all of us? Why or why not? I guess in a way this post is a way of trying to be heard, even when it feels like we're being ignored.

Hello.

It seems really strange to have an "In the Hospital" section. Almost like it was created specifically to remove Gina and Garran's stories from the eyes of most of the cystics/others who come to the site. Is this true?

Are people really going to post in the "In the Hospital" section? I don't see what's so unique about being in the hospital that it needs its own section. And anyway - what happened to the days of transplant threads being pinned at the top of the Adults section?

I just have this nagging feeling that people don't want to see the ugly side to CF - admittedly it is tough but <i>this is the nature of our disease</i>. And no one has to click on the thread if they don't want to!

The bottom line is that there could be an infinite number of categories and subcategories on this site if we wanted: 'in the hospital', 'on home IVs', 'alternative treatments' etc. Why don't we simplify things and have only two categories: Adults and Parents. Personally, I feel like I miss out on a lot not being able to browse all of the sections regularly. I would like to see questions about transplant, and nutrition, and BIRTHDAY announcements posted on the 'Adults' section.

If people want to discuss something more specifically, say newly diagnosed people want to talk, then they can go into the chat room and set up a separate room at a designated time. I think this makes much more sense.

Anyway, that was a long post just to basically say, "I want Pepe back!!!" <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I agree with Cat. But "adults" and "parents" is still odd to me. Just make it "CF" and "Off topic". That way anything and everything even remotely related to CF goes in CF, and things that have nothing to do with CF go in off topic. Plain and simple, very easy, not a problem.
