Thanks for posting about HealClick beaverfury! I agree with the concerns about forums becoming fractured, and surely it was not our intention to dilute fabulous forums such as PR. This has always been one of my top 2 places to get information.
But at the same time, I was diagnosed with chronic lyme, POTS, MCS, IBS, idiopathic sleep disorder...surely not an uncommon narrative on this forum. I had to jump around from one forum to another, and treatment reviews for a treatment were always specific to that disease. It was telling that "methylation protocol" really only became popular in the lyme disease community about one year after it spiked on PR. We're dealing with a lot of similar genetics here.
So HealClick addresses this problem by personalizing content to your entire condition, and not just the dx you primarily identify with. I don't think we'll ever supplant the quality of information you can get from PR if you're just looking for posts on M.E., but if you're like myself and tired of forum-jumping for all your conditions, then I definitely think we can add a lot of value, especially as our patient-matching algorithm improves over time. Although it's exciting to get almost 550 members within 72 hours, our site is a really resource-intensive one (compared to forums) so it almost caused a server crash, despite us spending a lot of time on performance optimization prior to launch.
