For me, it's a goodbye to Babble. I got some good things, like support, out of it in the beginning, but overall, it hasn't been the most positive thing for me in regards to healing in therapy. Often what is said in Babble psych, should be said IN therapy. It impeded my progress in therapy for a long time.
Plus there is the whole privacy thing, if I knew now what I didn't back then when participating, I wouldn't have. A lot has changed with online usage and seeing YEARS of posts with NO option of removing them, just seems to not be in most poster's best interest. Perhaps it's why this Babble has been dying. It's not staying with the modern times of online policies most websites have. Even Facebook can be deleted. There would be more participation, if posters knew what they wrote wouldn't be permanent for YEARS, or decades.
I also don't like seeing artist's work cropped and used without proper credit and/or probably without permission. Most artists I know would be thrilled to have their work shared, but not when it's mutilated and cropped. Artists put a lot of thought into their work, and the entire composition is important. It's all about respect, and paying to use their images in any form. When anyone right clicks to save any copyright image and saves it to their computer, that is the first law broken. The second would be using a copyright image online without permission. But most artists I know, it makes them livid when someone "adjusts" their art without permission. Most artists don't make a ton of money, and losing what little they get anyway is very sad to me. I can't stay here and continue to see this disregard to my profession.
