2 Hepatitis Forums
I don't see much difference in the posts between the Hepatitis C forum and the Hepatitis Social forum other then Hepatitis B is included in the social. What is the difference? I also don't understand why some people get upset when posted in one vs the other. Now I'm not sure which to post in.

Actually 5 hep forums - A,B,C, Autoimmune and Social. The 'Great Splitting' of which Bill speaks occured when MedHelp morphed into Medzilla.
A good thing for the HBV people - much more complex virus/treatment and few HCV people (always the majority of posters) had good answers for a lot of the questions posted. Maybe not such a good thing for the AIH and HAV people. Someone in the all-in-one forum could usually at least point in the direction of where an answer might be found. I just went by the HAV/AIH forums. Awfully quiet.

Marcia gave some good advice above. Also, a long time ago, Medhelp was a non-profit company without advertising and of course, the money that comes with the sponsors. It used to be we were only allowed to start 7 threads daily, and there was a limit to how many comments could be made on an individual thread as well… this was one to save bandwidth costs. We used to guard these posts very carefully, and when someone made silly or non-relevant comments, it would make most people very angry; I think this is part of the reason the ‘social forum’ was started.
The idea was to provide one place where people could discus studies, treatment options, etc, but he need for off-topic commentary was still there, so this social side was initiated for members to blow off steam. Although the distinction is vague, that is the concept. It might be nice if Medhelp provided a more concise rules and directions, but generally, there’s a lot of latitude involved; by Medhelp as well as the forum members.
If you try to keep the serious stuff on the Hep C forum, and the joking around or off topic stuff in the social forum, you’ll be fine.
Take care—

To put it into layman terms. On the other forum is where we discuss hep c, treatment, studies, symptoms, blood values, etc.
On this forum is were we hang and sometimes horse around. You see, when you are treating you go through hell and it is good to get a good laugh now and then. We speak about hep c related subjects, but usually a bit more relaxed. It's a social forum. We support each other during tough times, we cry together and we laugh together.
