Motivational/Inspirational subforum

There is one to express grief, I think it might be good to have one to share hope and motivation too.

I was thinking along similar lines. It would be nice to have a forum where we can talk in confidence, where others can see our posts, but do not get thrown up in internet search results. I really want to put down in words how this has may have affected my life, but haven't yet because it's too personal. I guess motivational and grief are closely tied to eachother.

The entire forum is Googlable.

Hmm... You could say that a lot of the boards are implicitly designed for motivation and inspiration such as the blogs, the progress galleries, the welcome centre... Even just the act of talking on this site is itself motivation/inspiration to keep your chin up and keep going.

I imagine a subforum of this could turn into a lot of empty egoistic posting and endless Courage Wolf Macros but perhaps it might be useful to provide a polar opposite to the Grief forum.

It would be great a inspiration to have a comprehensive log of successful restorations.

I was thinking it need not be related to restoration. But posting stories of individuals overcoming adversity etc. Like someone shared a real touching video on another forum about a man who was told he'd never walk again and had basically given up on life, but he perservered and was able to not only walk but run. Just uplifting stuff like that... to be a counterbalance to the grief and anger.

Couldn't agree more, or so I thought.... I was stunned how there were no success posts, yet so many restoring and restored. Upon thinking about it though, I put it down to the fact that we will all have our own ideas of what success is, and many of us will keep changing the goal posts. Another point is, there is no absolute success (yet) in reversing the act of MGM, and any success would suggest that the problem is over for the patient, and ofcourse, it's never really over. I would be interested to hear the reason why there are no success stories, as I know there are plenty that have restored the length of foreskin they wanted.

We had an idea to set up a Sticky: Success Stories thread in Progress Galleries and we had a couple volunteers, but I haven't followed through yet. I can do that.

If you are going to do (revive) the Success Stories, you are welcome to use my album. I see it as a photo-diary of "successful progress". My "success story" will be when I have completed the job and until I am there, I have no exact idea of when that will be!
