If life is a journey, then it is definitely a form of surfing, except the waves are various random or controlled events. Balancing the conflict between various responsibilities and burdens, and one's own wants and pursuits can be demanding at times.
I have been going thru one of the busiest periods in my life. I was promoted to a management position in Information Technology, and you know what that means: virtually no time for anything else!
During this period, the forum membership of the site has grown, and I'm happy to welcome the new members while appreciating the participation of long-time regulars.
I have been planning a major overhaul for the site for a while now. Elements of what the site will be already exist for the most part, but when everything is merged together HairLossFight.com will be unparalleled in the hair loss sites on the Internet.
I would like to empower you, the viewer and/or member of the site, to come up with a workable solution for your hair loss, and to share your experiences with others so that we can all learn from each other.
Currently the forums are what most of you are used to using for communicating and interacting with one and other in the exchange of ideas on hair loss. And this is a good thing. I don't want to change this.
What I DO want to do though is to show you a whole other world of possibilities on communicating with the community and the world about hair loss. The my.HairLossFight.com section of the site is extremely powerful and adaptable and feature-rich. I want to integrate the FORUMS of the site, with which you're probably already familiar, with the social networking section of the site. THIS SECTION. My.HairLossFight.com is fully functional and you can start using it now, but it is in beta.
Currently you need another membership id to use this section, separate from your forum membership. I will soon merge the forum membership with my.HairLossFight.com so that you will automatically be a member of both sections. In fact, the goal is to make the integration seamless, so that you login to the forums THRU my.HairLossFight.com.
If you're not already familiar with my.HairLossFight.com, you can register (use the same id as your forum id where possible) and start your own blog, share photos (via albums), stay up-to-date with specifically what YOUR friends in the community are up to, as well as everyone else if you wish (via the Dashboard), upload videos, audio, your own files and pages of information on all things hair loss related and more. And it will all function in a way similar to other social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
You may not see it now, but the way it will all be laid out means that ANYONE can setup their own virtual community within the community and participate in a vibrant flow and exchange of ideas.
Stay tuned!
