  1. You're very welcome here Akemi. I hope you will find some of the positive and caring support you deserve here on AS. I'm sorry that some negative things have come up again for you on your healing journey but I'm glad you are taking positive steps to continue onwards.

    :idea::luck:

  2. It wasn't your fault. You were not to blame.

    I know you are traumatized and saddened by it...but please get help. You're worth it and you are not deserving to be silenced. The criminal who did it is the one who should be ashamed...not you.

    :luck:

    I hope you get some of the support you deserve here at AS.

  4. To get into chat you need 10 posts and yes, they can be replies to others posts or to your own posts for that matter. A simple one word post like, "thanks" will count towards your 10 posts to get into chat. I see you have 10 posts now Greta so you should be able to join Chat.

    Chat, unlike the message board or blogs is a "real time" communication where you are typing and others are typing live instead of having it posted on a board. Chat keeps logs that display for a while but they are not "permanent" (except that there are logs that the moderators of the site can go back and access to make sure people are obeying the rules and behaving decently towards each other). So chat is real time and rather less permanent than the message board where messages continue to be displayed more or less permanently, barring technical mishaps.

    The blogs are a new feature that came about afer the site crashed earlier this year. There is not much difference between the blogs and the message board except I don't think the blog feature is as "connected" to everyone. Not sure how to explain that, but if you want your posts to be read and responded to, it seems to me that it is a better bet to just use the message board feature that has the varous forums.

    I hope this helps and if you have other questions please ask okay???

    Welcome to AS, I hope you find some of the support and encouragement you deserve here. :)

  5. If you mouse over someone's screen name a little picture icon of a person is below their information and it allows you to "add friend". You can also go to someone's profile and in the middle to upper/center part of the screen there are three buttons, "add me as a friend", "send me a message" or "find content". So if you want to add someone as a friend, just hit the "add me as a friend" button.

  6. Welcome to AS!!!

    I hope you will find AS to be a place of kind support where you can safely break the silence about what happened.

    Congratulations on your bravery to seek counseling to help yourself!!!

    :luck:

  7. I'm glad you found AfterSilence (AS) Dragongirl!

    Your English is great, if you had not said you were still learning it I would not have known! :)

  8. Gabby,

    The members of the moderating team are listed if you go to the forum page (the main page) and go down where it lists all the users online in the last 30 minutes...to the right of that it says moderating team and if you click on that it brings you the list.

    So select one or more of them and message them. To message there is an envelope icon at the top right of every page that says messenger...along with a trash can icon etc. Click on the envelope and it will take you to your messenger or mail box center. Then click a new message and address it to a moderator. I usually check to see when the moderator was last on AS...some of them are here more frequently than others...so I usually pick one who has been active recently.

    Hope that helps,

    Activist Ally

  9. Welcome to AS Lexi!!! I'm so glad you survived and are working on healing!!!

    I think that you may have to post 10 times before sharing on the "share my story" post? I'm not sure, I know you have to have 10 posts to chat. Posts can be as short as one word in reply like "thanks" will count as one. So, you don't have to come up with 10 topics, you can post replies to other posts if you want to get up to 10.

    I hope that works for you!!! If not, you can always message a moderator to help you, they are very good about that!

    I hope you find some of the kind and caring support you deserve here at AS.

    With support,

  11. It's hard to say how many, I know I'm missing quite a few who used to reguarly show up but don't seem to be around any more. However, there are many still around who have found their way back.
