Added an "Our history" section to website - Still looking for any improvements that you can suggest

I just kind of typed up the “our history” section off the top of my head, so anything you all think should be added, please let me know.

Also am still looking for any improvements you can think of to help make the website the best it can be.

Going to continue working on it off and on for awhile.

Also still welcome any links for the “member links” section if you want ot pm me or email me.

Help me to make this site as useful as it can be.

Thanks.

Maybe a section for information on schizophrenia might be useful? Or maybe its just as easy for someone to type it in google.

Maybe less bleak info than the book surviving schizophrenia and Google. Mention married members with children and working members. Life after schizophrenia is not always a death sentence so to speak

Hey, I’m sure that @jukebox appreciates you supporting him, but Im going to remove the picture to try to keep any hint of advertising off this site. Want to have any advertising go through the website so people just dont join the forum just to sell stuff.

This way I can also control the content. Dont want like pharmaceutical companies or something coming here to market drugs or such things.

Things from long time members like @jukebox should be fine on the website, though.

I think we could increase the amount of visitors if we had a podcast, YouTube channel, or a way of having “academics” (psychiatrists, psychologists, PhD candidates) host a Q &A on the forum every so often.

I don’t know if those are good ideas or not, but they’re ideas.

It’s actually a really GOOD idea but I am not a podcaster or interviewer, so we would need to find someone to do it. It is very ambitious @Catman , and is probably beyond my personal abilites without help.

Thank you for the thoughts!

@Daydreamer had done a number of podcasts/radio shows with some charities. He has some pretty good hardware and access to pro tech.

Don’t want to put pressure on him but if he doesn’t want to do it himself he might be able to give guidance?

How is it going with that? Did you talk to him about the pressure?

He has been convinced that the website deal is not going to work out, so I am getting ready to take down the website later today. Going to offer the app free. So I wont be doing any further work on it.
