Hi Paulette and everyone,

I have also tried to join Dragonpack with no success.  Does anyone know how we can start our own chat group?  My 13 y.o. son was recently diagnosed with Crohn's (my dad and sis have it too) and I would really like to be able to talk to other parents dealing with similar issues.  I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks!

Heather

Great idea, Heather. Please let me know if you come up with anything. If I were more tech savvy, I would start something up myself!!!

I've been a member of the Dragonpack Parents Board for years and I am not quite sure there is another Parents Board on the net that I have come across yet.

I do know that it might take awhile when you register for the Dragonpack Board for Misfit to send you a confirmation email which will activate your membership.

Wait a bit and then try registering again if you don't get a confirmation email within a couple of days or so.

Have you tried e-mailing the actual forum people? The help e-mail? I would try that. That would be an amazing idea.

This is a random thought, BUT have you ever heard about the CCFA Camp Oasis for kids? It is amazing and I would definitely look into. Not sure where you live though. Also, you can try and contact the CCFA.org regarding a forum like this.

Good Luck!

Emailing Misfit of the Dragonpack Board would actually be a very good idea. She maintains a wonderful site, but I do know that she does not activate memberships on a daily basis.

Email addy is: [email protected]

Gwen, Heather and Paulette, I hope to see you soon on Parents Board.

Thanks for the repiies.  As you suggested, I sent an e-mail directly to the administrator.  I hope to be accepted soon, as it looks like a great site!

Still no response to any of my e-mails.  Too bad.  I would really like to join that site.

What a shame- that is really to bad. I sure wish I had more ideas of what else you could do.  Someone must though. Maybe restart a posting.  I would think one of the admins or moderators would get right back to you.  I know there are serveral groups out there- there has to be.  Have you tired live support groups in your city?

Heather,

So sorry you having such a tough time joining the Parent's Board. Can't fathom what is up with that. There is only one administrator who happens to also wear the hat of moderator!!

I will do a post on the Board to try and get Misfit's attention. Every so often she does a post on the steps you must take to register for the Board. I think it is time for her to do it again.

Hang in there!

Thanks, if any of you are members and can post something to ask her to please check her applications box, I would be so grateful!

Have a healthy and UNEVENTFUL weekend, everyone!

Heather

I tried to join twice in the past month to no avail. I also wrote an email last month but have not gotten a response. I will try again today.

Thanks for any help that you can offer!

I did post a shout out to Misfit on the Parent's Board to try and get her attention. There is a new Parent on the Parent's board who just started posting within the past day or so. Not sure how long it took for her registration to get confirmed though.

I know the registration process is quite different than back in the old days when I joined the Parent's Board. It is not an immediate registering process like it used to be. You do have to wait for a confirmation email from Misfit to activate the registration. She might be behind in this process for some unknown reason.
