The forums seem to limp along with minimal participation. I previously suggested that the forums be open to the general public and not just US MS members. It was evidently felt that it should be a US MS privilege. I think that if the forms were popular again it would encourage more people to join and there would be more value for the members as well. It may be too little too late as there just isn’t much forum, activity but I would really hope that the forums could be vibrant again.At one time people from all over the world were asking questions at the fforum and there were some really useful discussions. I don’t think people are getting much value from the forum for thier USMS membership at this time and having more people would be more value for everyone and again I believe could be a good marketing tool for US MS.

    I think the new forums are hard to navigate accounting for some of the drop in participation.  Perhaps letting non-members participate would help.  I feel the issue is deeper.  I believe it's not wise to debate publicly anymore and most adults know that (and yet here I am).  Despite your words, people do not want to hear an opposing point of view because in today's world, "the other side" is not just wrong but somehow morally reprehensible.  An example: the Dave Chappelle trans kerfuffle.  A major topic in his special is about his friend (Daphne Dorman) that happened to be trans.  Ms.Dorman defended Chappelle online and subsequently got torched by the trans community on Twitter.  Ms. Dorman committed suicide 6 days later.  Who killed Daphne Dorman?....the bigoted Chappelle?...who knows...but her trans-twitter-mob "friends" didn't help.
