Au contraire, it would be best for all of them to come here.
This is an entertaining and informative board, but NOM felt like a ward to me. It was a place where people could open up emotionally. No offense to this board intended.

The General Conference threads were epic. I am relieved to have seen many familiar posters here in the last few weeks, can someone contact Corsair and Red Ryder and some others ask them to join us on Mormon Discussions??? Please.
I posted this am on the reddit thread that says something like "NOM site is down!" and asked NOMs to meet back up here.
I feel like I may be late to the party on this thread, but I'm here now.

I am very concerned that we could lose the NOM archive. I think that is an incomparable knowledge base for those struggling with the issues that go with disaffection. And an amazing community to go with it. What do you need, Thayne, to get this back up? Whatever it takes, I am sure there are plenty who are willing and able to help.
Is it possible to get a database of NOMS who post on MDB with user names?
Example
NOM user name = cwald
MDB user name = cwald

I guess someone (hint) could start a thread to that effect.
for what it's worth:
NOM user name = Hagoth
MDB user name = Hagoth
