Thank you, Rollfast. This is my thought as well, and I remember Stacey as well. One of the things I'm afraid of, also if there is an injuries subforum is twofold;

First, that it will turn into a lurid photo forum, and there are people that will try to turn it into just that, with extremely graphic photos.

Second, and more important, to my mind, is that sense of community Bike Forums has that is so unique to internet forums will be reduced. We've had injury threads, and recovery threads pop up everywhere and there is always an outpouring of support and advice, and part of that is because people visited the threads in their "Home Forum", and wouldn't even see the thread otherwise, because they have their own group of forums they read, and rarely, if ever, stray from them.
