Lapsed status being reintroduced for Senior Members with less than 1,000 reputation points

Recommended Pharmacies on Pharmacy Reviewer

@somuchforthat22 I’ve not been here as long as you but it is frustrating though I understand the reasoning in theory. It is also hard for me to find places to post where I can contribute meaningfully. Rules are rules so I’ll keep posting to regain my status because it’s worth it. I hadn’t realized it had been that long. I wil try to stay more engaged and visit more frequently.
 
@calgal99 This is why I try to stay engaged. You just never know. Life does get in the way sometimes and time flashes by. I’ve been lapsed for too often. I will try to do better and check in once a week from now on.
 
Being lapsed sucks. Most of us are here due to health issues so engagement can sometimes go by the wayside. I am going to be more active. This place is a treasure to those of us let down by our health care system.

I understand why they put as lapsed, as in order to keep the community safe they need to know that people are invested in the system and that no one can infiltrate the forum for nefarious reasonn

Agree with this. It's easy to step out of the room, so to speak, when life gets busy and the reasons we're all here are under some sort of control, even if it's a temporary control. But given the hostile political and medical climate to those of us who have chronic pain, it's important to keep this place safe so we don't lose it. I imagine the best way to do that is to make sure that those of us who use it for the right reasons sign in and contribute at regular intervals. As someone who isn't sure they'd even be alive without this site (chronic pain is deadly, it really is), I can get behind regular participation to retain senior status.
 
I heard quick news bite recently about a study that showed chronic pain ages the brain prematurely.
I am quickly being reminded how important this forum is.
 
Dear moderator, Ive gotten my first ever email saying I’m about to be demoted for not posting. While I appreciate the warning, I thought my reputation points qualified me for senior for life?
p.s., Id like to spare the board and myself from making 30? or so posts that just clutter up the board to get it back.

I think and this is perhaps nonsense or idk perhaps not. But I really like the idea of members with a certain amount of time under their belt to be grandfathered into senior existence. Its not that I dont feel that its important to contribute, but i personally like contributing in the section thats not viewed by anyone (i dont mean that in a snobby way!) lol its just like if you know this realm or area then theres only so much sometimes I feel I can say which makes it hard to get back to the senior forum where an elderly (not literally 100 years old) but on here, Id say im eldrly if that makes sense. food for thought
 
wow this forum has so many older members. older as in been a member for a long time and are still active? thats gotta be rare. I cant think of any website especially a forum I still visit from that time. But this has always been a very mature forum. Ya know, not psychopaths saying horrible things which i guess ill glance at reddit but its alot of negative crap and i cant do it. its so exhausting at this point. so cheers to this website. those on it, the mods, i mean hell of a rare thing.

wtf, thats a bit trippy no? I mean really we are talking not a year or 2 or 5 or 10 lol wow sh*te we are around 15 years on this. I think we should get a cake. dude I feel like we gotta run it back to 2011 and what was happening in the world. Okay that was 10 years after 9/11. Um we were still recovering from the recession. Real medication existed. Doctors prescribed...medication. Thats crazy. We were well alot younger and I actually still vaguely recall finding the picture or avatar. Doesnt feel like that long ago in some ways, and in others WHOA a lot of weird stuff has happened that I woulda never predicted.

Shall we im not sure the word i am looking for but somewhere between pact, goal, etc to go lets say at least 2031? Make it 20 years on this? lol
We I think deserve or okay deserve maybe not the word but um well we should be celebrated everyone provide us your most valuable insights! lmao.

Seriously though...
 
I think alot are from our era, but lets just for a moment act like we are the most senior of members and we are the community elders. wow weed was illegal across the board! Gay marriage idk i dont think it was or maybe, hmm, so crazy because I dont talk to almost anyone i mean really no one left from that period of life except ya know a few family members. Im not sure if thats sad or b/c my entire generation thought "hmm fentanyl, not a bad idea" and I left vanished and moved away, I came back to my hometown recently and idk assumed ppl were alive, wow that was a shock when I went down a list of peoples names and was like could i get a,b,c,d,e,f,g,etc number "bro a has been gone, b just died from a kayaking accident, c drugs, d idk, e suicide by drugs, suicide by cop.
My suprisingly non depressing ending is that we are survivors as a pop singer once sung. And I certainly sound as if I am using drugs, I am not. Just life smacked me up side the head seeing that post. And time leaped, a flash of so much but so much also feels like yesterday.

Well some people do not get the longevity in life that we have on this forum. SO i say its to be celebrated. I am very appreciative of this entire community. Cannot ever say enough positive things about it. Then there was drugbuyerblahblah.com and that was just a very bad effort of this community with alot of sketchy stuff. I think there is some real truth to the genuine decency and value of a community like this. I may be away and not post for a while but i always return. Its really just alot of decent human beings on a forum. Which idk if that really is a thing aside from here. No bashing no putting each other down, just helpful, kind people. Thank you all of the PR community, I do truly feel silly saying this but it will always have a place in my heart, no sarcasm. Thanks
