Hi all, glad to see people are wondering back in again. I think the thing that the online ALS community misses most about BT is its high throughput of new members and old hands. Lots of them seem to have dispersed around the globe, especially back to sites in their country of origin. So the UK lot have retreated back to BUILD, the canadians are over at ALS Forums, and the sciencey people are at ALSTDF. We're getting a lot of new members at PatientsLikeMe too, but I don't think we get as many "random" people moseying in.

That said there is certainly a lot less questionable quackery about in the ALS land since BT shut down, I haven't heard a jot about stem cell transplant in months!!!
