Dear IL’ites, We are giving a tiny upgrade to our EP&G Forum. Because of the strong activity, we are moving it outside of “Lifestyle” and making it as one of the main topical forums. We are also shortening the name to “Personal Growth”. Cool? It is so wonderful to see this forum finally living up to its potential. It is one of my favorite forums. I will also peep in now and then and contribute. Onward! Jey
A much needed upgrade Jey. It is one of the most interesting Forums (or Fora for the language puritans) in IL. I am a non participating silent admirer of the Forum!
Hmmmm finally? Positivity, Neuron, Futurology, English Matters to current forum sensation - the Space series, Maybe the lights were turned off with little action now and then but I believe this forum has always lived up to its potential. Only 'finally' now it gets some much-needed promotion. And, cheers to that!
So this contemplative little space is getting an upgrade, HGTV style? I have mixed feelings about that. : ) Let's hope we find a way to retain its character amidst the deluge of 'personal growth' that is undoubtedly to come. Onward it is!
@Jey, I have been an active participant in E & PG may not be to the extent of many who find this as their only dwelling. I have learned in this forum much more during my continuing participation than what I have learned in my whole life before that. Many friends/members past and present were/are great contributors. This Forum deserves independent status rather than grouped under Lifestyle. Education is why I come here often and I suggest its original name as is. If there is an annual award for Forums, E & PG will be like CSK (a tough team to beat) of IPL. Watson of Forums! Right @kaniths? Viswa
I agree too! +100! Rel Regulars may feel offended at that! Folks! It wasn't me! It's only him! OT : I thought Jey is the new Mod for the forum now but he is taking over my unofficial EPG-PR person post already! Too much sleeping on the job eh?
@kaniths A portion of George Ezra's Lyrics for you: "When I dance (for the winner E & PG) alone, and the sun's (Rel Regulars) beating down, Blame it on me When I lose control and the veil's (praise) overused, Blame it on me What you waiting for? No, what you waiting for?" Viswa
Based on the posts above, I was thinking - how about considering an alternate that will somehow include or be indicative of 'education' also? Education & Growth? Education & < another word for Growth>? Education & <A suitable one word for Personal Growth> Retaining the name E&PG as is also is not a bad idea. It is often referred to as E&G too. What's in a name? A lot. : )
