Eating Disorder Community

you're destroying the community. it was amazing several years ago. there was so much less fighting, everyone got along and people weren't rude unless given a damn good reason. now there's a connect with facebook?? interviews? all im asking is for you to please, PLEASE, stop making changes. a lot of people don't like what it's become and many, many of the old members that were on daily, no longer like to go on. (like me) you were doing so great with it for so years. and i miss it. :(

I’m happy to take blame for “destroying” the community. In the end, I’m the one who makes the changes and updates the site. But you will find yourself in the minority in thinking that these changes are bad. There is nothing wrong with disliking them. I think your opinion is as important as any other member of the site. But every change that takes place on the site comes from a member, like yourself.

I’ve been running this site for almost 6 years now. I think the way the site shifts and flows over time depends on the people who participate in it. You have as much influence on the evolution of PrettyThin as a community as any other member on the site.

Over the years, the number of people using PT has increased, and it’s more now (in 2012) than ever before. I’d say PT (not me) is doing something right.
