It seems like hardly anyone post or responds to threads on here anymore.
Why is that? Did people on this thread leave & go somewhere else? |

A lot people have left. There is just a handful of us around now.

People started becoming judgmental & critical I noticed here & there instead of being supportive sometimes. |

I am not sure why people left @jesyka - for me I missed when it was called "PsychCentral" - I think people just moved on and found other outlets, or went back to their own social media. There could be a lot of reasons.

I think forums generally aren’t as popular as they were, also as we’re no longer part of psych central we don’t get the traffic that way.

Why are we not part of PsychCentral? I didn't realize that.

Psych Central still exists with articles etc like before but the forums went over to My Support Forums, that’s my understanding of it.

for those who are new or dont remember -
back in around 2020 doc john sold a portion of psych central. he decided to keep the forums section. in order to do that he gave the forums a whole new name. no one took over these community forum boards everyone is posting in. I think of it like a department store or medical building. you have many departments and sometimes departments on the same building move on to other things. sometimes that means merging with other companies and changes in department names. the educational department of psych central is merged with Healthline and the community posting department is now separate and called my support forums. for more information heres a link to doc johns post from 2020 when the merging and name changes happened. Healthline acquires Psych Central Editting to add a second link - a thread where Doc John posted about separating the forums from the educational department and other changes that happened back then. this thread is also from 2020 where doc john and healthline agreed that the forums can remain with Doc John. Important! The next chapter for the Psych Central Forums Last edited by amandalouise; Jun 07, 2025 at 11:16 AM. |

if you mean the weekly chats doc john did only he can answer to that. if you mean the chat rooms at the top of the page as far as I know they are still there, at least the option is still listed at the top of the page in the menu bars. I just clicked on whos in chat and it says zero, so at the moment of my typing this no one is in the chat rooms. whether the chat rooms are still active or not I'd have to say your guess is as good as mine. check with doc john or one of the moderators. they will probably know more than I do about the chats and chat rooms. |

I sold Psych Central in August 2020 but the buyers didn't want the forums; they wanted to shut them down. So they allowed me to take them back, we just had to change their name. Which we then did.
Since that time frame, but more around the end of 2022, AI has taken over search traffic. Traffic websites get from Google is down over 40% on average. For forums and discussion boards, search traffic -- our main source of new members -- is down even more, like 75%. This is all due to AI and how Google has chosen to show those results over anything else. There is little that we (or even most online publishers) can do about this. AI is taking over everything. We'll keep the forums running as long as there's a core group of people who want to use them. But we can't do much about the lack of new members here, as big internet companies are making all those decisions for us. Cheers.
