'cause i think it is more than just an 'interesting experiment'.
i really do think that people would keep on posting to the main babble board so as to reach a wider range of people with their medication inquiries.
and i think the same would go for the psychology board. the more people who can read / respond the more likely you are to get posts where people can relate to what you have to say.
but... some people really are very worried about posting things that are fairly identifying. and about posting things that are really very personal. and about people irl reading some of that stuff... and maybe using it against you or poking fun or something.
and i know that it will always be possible in principle that someone you know irl could just join up to the same small board... and i know it will always be possible in principle that someone could hack into the board or the posters computer or somthing... but i have to say i think that is a whole heap less probable than people finding out a person posts to this site and them starting to read the posts and finding stuff out that way.
i think... people would still babble away on social etc.
i really don't think... it would affect the current boards all that much.
