Chat is Gone

Well I just clicked on the HSG Chat and I received a message from Elaine. It appears the chatroom is no more.
I hate the negative changes in here.

 Sorry, but deleting your profile is one thing, but deleting a meeting place used by clusterheads because you did not approve of what was talked about is lame.

I completely stayed out of the threads because I don't have the "history" that many do.
I think that this is a terrible shame. Very sad for it was a place that I found some additional sanity and support.

What a shame.
It was about 2 years ago when I first went there and that was the first live contact I had ever had with other clusterheads.
Recently I haven't gone there very often but at the time it meant a lot to me to be able to talk to others about what was going on with my head. Now I guess no one else will get to experience that.
Thank you Elaine,
Jim

You can send the other headachey types to http://headaches.about.com and they have a chat link off of there, but it is not a very active chat and also has even more rules than Elaine's did. I'm a chat host there, but I've more or less abandoned my duties for the past few months. Anyhow, it's at least a resource for people with other headache types.

I doubt Elaine is going to read this, as she has deleted her profile and she asked me to take HSG down. I haven't talked to her, so I do not know what is bothering her. I did tell her that I have a back up of the site, incase she changes her mind.
Hope you see this Elaine!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 5 WONDERFUL YEARS!!!

Didn't know Elaine was running the site, was under the impression it was being run off of an off site provider. Thought they pulled the plug. Didn't mean anything toward Elaine.

Before starting a 'i'm holier than thou' fight, how about this?
STOP
someone ask Elaine what the deal is and let the board know, try and suspend judgement until then.
What do you think?

Hmm.... last time I checked we were all adults that have freedom of speech. Just like any other chat room, there WILL be swearing, and dirty talk... and "cyber fights" I don't see what the big deal is... If you don't like what your reading... Don't read it, or don't be part of the conversation! But don't ruin it for everbody because YOU were offended. Just my opinion.

This has all gotten WAY out of hand!!
Elaine asked that people go to another chat room if there was going to be "blue humor" in the conversations.
We did.
Now HSG is gone?
Elaine, if you are reading this, this was NEVER anything serious enough to be taken personally.
I for one LOVE going to HSG. I have met some of the best friends of my life in there. But I also have enough respect for Elaine to abide by her wishes. We wanted to tell off color jokes and kid around about it being "nekkid chat" (which we all knew was just a joke) and take our minds off our freakin headaches for a while.
SO, to facilitate Elaine's request we decided to make a new chat room where we could do just that. BUT, we also still support each other there...for life problems as well as head problems.
I am VERY concerned about Elaine. She is a good woman and something must be bothering her terribly to make her delete her profile and take down the chat room. Talk to us, Lady E!
I hope you change your mind about here and get your log in back and reinstate HSG as well. Just because some people choose not to chat at HSG doesn't mean ALL people choose not to chat there. The other chat room was only an alternative.
Come back soon, Elaine!
I never meant to ruffle any feathers,
DD

I think it's a darned good idea john.
Elaine wouldn't have done it without giving it a lot of serious thought.
We all (or most of us) know how much and how many love Elaine...and know that she must have given this decision much thought before carrying it out.
I don't think her post left much to be imagined. She simply didn't like what was going on.
Elaine likes to have fun just as much as anyone else, so in her eyes, it must have been worthy of pulling the plug.

Not to me, that thread was totally confusing and was full of miss-communication.
What I do know about Elaine is that she has regularly went out of her way to help clusterheadache sufferers, since waaay back. So benefit of the doubt, or just plain tolerance of strong emotional reactions, should be in order. Don't ya think?

Frankly, I don't blame Elaine a bit. Good for her for taking a stance on this. Knowing Elaine, this is probably the most difficult thing she's ever had to do. She loves this cluster community more than anyone ever has or will in the future. She has a shrine in her house of all the things her cluster family have sent her over the years and HSG was truly her baby. This must be killing her.
I think EVERYONE needs to consider Elaine's feelings here instead of whining about having no place to chat on the internet.
Elaine, if you're reading this - consider yourself hugged and know that I completely understand what you're going through. I admire your courage for doing this, TS.
Stay safe through Ivan - I see he's headed your way. Please email me to let me know that you ok?
edit: damn enter key - I just pressed it and it posted this message.
Mast....thank YOU for all you've done with HSG too. I know this must be ripping you up too, kiddo. Always here if you need a shoulder, ok? NEVER forget that, darlin.

I know Rock, some of it was pretty clear. I don't agree with it, but then opinions are the great dividers of our world.

Ditto what Margi said.
Elaine set rules for her chat room. She asked that the rules be followed. Some pigheaded not a very nice persons refused to follow the rules.
Now the chat room is closed.
End of story.
