Sufficient Self Journal Section

[reinbeau]

You know, Rob, I think Poppycat is right.....think long and hard about it over on BYC. It should be discussed a bit, and maybe refer the moderators from BYC over here to see what's going on, before you decide to do it.

I think once the novelty wears off it settles down, but with so many posters over there that may take quite awhile.

I don't like the journals mostly but it may just be sour grapes in that I have a very boring life and couldn't think of anything worth taking the time to write down.

Eh hem, read my journal entry for today and you might feel better about your life!

the way some of those folks are over there id say it would be a disaster if you do it, we pretty much all get along here and look what started happening.

I'd think there were just too many people at BYC to pull this off.

To be honest, I am trying NOT to post in my journal everyday, because I want to be sure I am being active in other parts of the forum with other members. I want to learn and share with everyone here!

I have no idea how it would work on BYC.
from what little I have seen on of the site, it might be a train wreck...lol...it didn't take me long to realize the volume of traffic was too much for me to chat and make some real cyber friends.

But I love the journal section here being smaller it seems to work fine.

I love the journal section here myself. But am not sure how long it would last on BYC before someone jumped in to make me avoid my own journal.
No everyone likes them...and now that the new has worn off plus those of us who are doing the journals go so caught up we kind of forgot everything else for a few days. Everyone seems to be back on track now. But BYC is so big....I think there would have to be major rules about other people posting on someones journal.
My understanding is the journals are for our daily thoughts and what we are doing. Here it is a very nice social place for those of us that wish to participate. I love getting to know everyone in depth. I think it feels a social need for some of us. Myself and others whose social outlets are limited. Everyone here is adult enough to just move on if we don't like what is being said I think. Not sure about BYC. I think the mods would be overwhelmed.
JMHO

The membership here is small and the journals work (kind of) because we are fewer. I think there are way too many people on BYC for journals to work. BYC My Page might be the way to keep it for journals.

Hi, I am new on this site. I dont know how I overlooked it? It seems like a great place!
I am a member of the sister sites also, and so far here I have really enjoyed reading the journals and seeing some familiar names on Sufficientself.com. There are so many great ideas and everyone seems so supportive. I think part of what makes Sufficientself.com so great is that it is a smaller online community. I think the journals and the information they contain would be less realistic in a forum with such a huge population as BYC.

The member numbers on BYC have gotten so high that you almost have to read by subject interest alone to keep up, by the hour....it goes so fast now! I dont know how admin/moderation keep up? Amazing.

Nice to meet you,
