I can't express how happy I am to hear this news. I think Phoenix Rising, Health Rising, and all its members will benefit greatly from this new development. It's something I've waited for for a long time, and now feel things are returning to their "rightful' place. Welcome back @Cort, so happy to have you back at the helm!!!.

Thanks to all who have served on the Board and as Moderators for what has seemed like so many thankless years. You've been appreciated, I can assure you.

Welcome back Cort......I followed you for a very long time, long before joining. Thanks again to all who took charge and graciously served many of us. May you and your loved ones find relief soon. Yours, Lenora

A lot of online forums for ME/CFS are fairly inactive or have died completely, probably due to Facebook groups and other online social media. It's great for people who are not on Facebook to have options like Phoenix Rising.

A big thank you from me for all the moderators, board members and others who have kept this large forum going over the years.

I had worried for its future and this gives me hope it will continue.

I wish Cort well. I have been an active member since June 2009 when Cort ran it. It has proved to be a great resource over the years.
