Masha, you're right that on many forums there is a special subforum for personal issues.
On our forum, we were forced to drastically cut the number of subforums and child boards (which are like sub-subforums). We had literally dozens of unnecessary subforums and many dozens of child boards within the subforums. While our new forum structure is not perfect, it is a huge improvement over the chaos and lunacy that existed until a few days ago. Baruch HaShem, the chaos and lunacy are gone, and now we can run a professional and clean forum.
Masha, you can open threads wherever you feel comfortable doing so. This is your forum. This forum belongs to all of our great members.
