This board is a mess, too much spam, not enough room to breath
This will get me in much trouble, but this board has become unusable for me anyway, so I think a bit of truth as I see it is a good parting gift.
We have been flooded with spammers, it is a common tactic on any message board and especially effective on this board because if we try to question a post, we get rebuked for being unkind to a "newbie". Now there are some newbies here and I still recognize the old timers, but mixed in with them, are so many folks, masquerading as Hep C sufferers and spamming our board.
I wouldn't even venture a guess as to whether it is Vertex, wanting to stop the sharing of info or to folks in the investment community, wanting to stop the sharing of info, but it is still a fact that THIS BOARD IS UNREADABLE, and full of new people and posts that are sometimes ridiculous, they waste our time and then they are gone.
Man, I love jmjm for his "librarian" take and I love "bug" cuz I know she's gotta be that cute, and I admire nygirl for her warrior soul. Kalio, Grand oak, Forseegood, you all know who you are, you all are the greatest. But I hate spam, I'm not Hawaiian and we cannot have a conversation here without being dumped on, too much to sort out and too much stimuli. That is the way spammers work. I am so sad, beyond anything I could put in words, that all this has happened to us.
I am old, but not resistant to change, I will find another place to post. I have to give a bittersweet salute to whomever decided to trash this place, but that is what it is like now, a beautiful place, all littered up by fools, ruining it for the people who need it most. What a ****** up way to make a living.

My end of week three pcr showed 99.999% reduction waiting for results of week six!!!! The 99.999% reduction was from amount 11/2 months before I started so it may have been more of a drop?
You have been BANNED and you continue to flagrantly violate and disrespect this site and the owners and their guidelines and rules. You act like a child and continually change your name to circumvent the management.
You have harmed many people here and for that reason were told you were NOT welcome. You could care less, you think you can come here and play like you are a decent person but many know your game and that you will soon show your true colors and begin your sleazy, disgusting attack behavior.
Go away and have the decency to respect those that worked so hard to create this. You are not welcome and you should show the owners of MedHelp and the members here some respect. Many good people will not post because of you and your vicious behavior.
Your level of selfishness and disregard for others is monumental and you have lost the right to sully this place. New visitors do not know your history nor do they know all the damage you have caused, they do now.
New people, WATCH OUT. Dont be fooled by his tone now, because he has been banned for very good reason and banned OVER AND OVER. Yet he weasels his way back by changing his name.

What? You have something against Hawaiians???
Your SPAM comes from your friends who can't resist hitting the FWD button everytime some stupid joke comes along...

Sorry... didn't realize until now we were suppose to respond in both sides of the forum....but saw you duplicate your post here... I sure hope you decide to return from time-to-time to let us know how you are...
Below is my post from the 'other side'... and also FullOfHope. She was a first responder for me when I came in... funny as helpful as she was ... thought she was an oldtimer... but really appreciates her compassion and wisdome....

C16Don't know where to start but to plunge... ha ha! Look, it is good to speak our minds and sometimes it doesn't make us popular and/or opens us up for attack... Willow is giving her opinion and the way she sees it. Yep, she is a 'she' ... one of her posts said after a bx, "I was weepy...Hey, I'm a girl!" ... which I thought was cute... I digress... But hope she's not referring to the bulk of the newer members as spammers... I'm sure she's not. Been watching from a distance, being new here... but I have just as much right to speak as someone here for only one day or 10 yrs.... there's no pecking order that I see, and if I did, wouldn't conform to it (because it ain't mention in the rules) but that's just me....but there seems to be some underlying attacks here that seems to stem from past history.... THIS IS A SUPPORT FORUM... do we, that are new, have to sit in and watch these snide remarks regarding the PAST, can't they be taken off the forum??? Please... with sugar, honey or whatever your pleasure might be? I may be attacked for posting this but someone's gotta. We don't want to watch an old feud, or I don't (I don't have **** in my pocket so better stop saying 'we' hee hee)... It is just my take may we might want to

No bad feelings between us. I mentioned the spelling thing only because it was something I recently learned. I think of you as a basically upbeat person.
Think Peace :) OH

Nothing I said was directed at you or anyone in particular, just more or less of a boilerplate response as threads like this appear from time to time, so apologies if I added stuff that may not have pertained to whatever specifically is going on which I probably haven't been following as closely as others. I'm sure "Willows" knows I'm a big supporter of hers as I am of you and practically everyone here. And yes, Willows has been going through a lot (as you have) and certainly both of you have every right to tell it like you see it.
