It seems we need to do something. Creating new forums is never done for the purpose of pushing a group of members to their own corner. They are created so all members can have a safe place to post.
I like the idea of putting the secular 12 step group by the regular 12 step group, but I would have to ask for opinions from the other mods.
We could leave the Secular Connections forum as a general forum like the Alcoholism forum. We can have a separate forum for only AVRT topics and another separate forum for non AVRT topics. I still don't know how that would solve the issues we are having with the Secular Connections forum. I can see members telling other member to go to their forum if they don't like what they say. There are also many things that you believe are against the rules, which are not actually against the rules.
What do you want to do?
