    I'm thinking of merging the 'New Member Introductions" and "Weggies Stories" forums as they seem to me to basically relate to the same thing. What do y'all think?

    Seems reasonable.
    Would this then be the place for people to post stories about how their Wegs had changed or for a major flare?

    Positive: Puts all similar stories into one place.

    Negative: Possibly a lot of stuff to search through when searching for a specific topic. Site's advanced search capability probably minimizes this.

    Opinion: Do it.

    This is for new people to post their stories about how they came to be diagnosed. It really is an introduction too which is why I was thinking of merging the two. Does that answer your question?

    To be honest I was not sure which area to post my story when I first joined. So this sounds like a good idea to me. Would this make running the Forum easier?

    Nah mate won't make a difference Just as you say will hopefully be a little less confusing for people.

    On the negative side, the New Members Introductions makes the new members feel special and welcome. True, the Weggies Stories could function for both, but it may be harder to tell who is new and who just rarely posts. But if it makes it easier for you in some way, go for it. Could the titles somehow be combined without becoming too cumbersome?

    Sounds reasonable to me. The new members stories are always interesting.
