We recognize that some of you feel that you have benefited from the personal contacts you've made from these boards. However the truth is that these boards were never intended for private communication. This is a public forum. It was designed as such from the very beginning. We had no idea that the private contact issue would become a problem. But it is a problem. Unfortunately, many people have had less than positive experiences with the people they've connected with through the boards. And we simply cannot close our eyes and allow this to continue. Now we know better. For the overall safety and security of everyone, it is necessary for us to eliminate the private contact issue from this site.
Obviously, there are some of you who are not in agreement with the need to enforce this policy. We hear you loud and clear. Still, in addition to hope, encouragement, support and helpful advice, we need to provide a safe place for everyone who comes here. That is a primary concern.
Many of you have been valued members of the Divorce Busting community for a very long time. We appreciate your presence here and sincerely hope that you will find a way to accept and honor this rule and move forward with us.
