New social forum suggestion: Support Group

[UNCjigga]

I'm diggin' the whole "Love & Relationships" group under Social, but I think a broader category for 'Support Group' or 'Self-Help' type topics is needed. Too often I see people reaching out for help on some personal issue (health, addictions, trouble at work, etc.) in Off Topic and within minutes they're being pounced on. I think these sensitive issues need their own place, in a forum where kiddies and general arseholes won't prowl. Call it the 'Cry me a river' or 'PAB's place' forum if you want, but I think we need one and it shouldn't be lumped in with Off Topic.

you mean you want a forum specifically for the things that people like to bash other people about so it makes it easier for them to find their prey? ever heard the term shooting fish in a barrel?
