Have things drastically changed on this board?

I was active on this board in 2014, then again in 2016. I don’t see many posts now, nor do I see “roll call”. Is roll call not a thing anymore? Is this board not as active? I only see one familiar name from the past. I feel really depressed at the lack of current posts.

In short, yes. Ownership of MedHelp has changed several times in the past five years, and suffice it to say that providing an clean, easy to understand user experience has not been a priority. Recent changes are heading in the right direction, which is great. But the last couple of years have seen a ton users leaving.

It’s simple stuff really. Things like not showing the original date a post was created leads to a “front page” that is 90% old posts and no way of knowing which are old and which are new. This would be really easy to fix (noting the date a post was created), but so far there doesn’t appear to be anyone in a “quality control” role.

Your right...this site is NOT like it used to be and I don't know that that's a good thing.  However, I'm still here clean for 4 1/2 years now!  Let's do a Roll Call tomorrow on the 1st?

Hi and welcome back!  Things are picking up again now as there have been some new changes.  Roll call hasnt happened in quite some time so maybe it is time to get that up and going again.  How have you been?
