It’s never a good day when you wake up to find that the support community you were trying to rebuild has again suffered from a hardware failure. And yet again, for the third time in as many years, BrainTalk Communities is down and unavailable to its users, and the default Mac OS X page can be found at the root of the URL.

We offer a safe, secure and reliable alternative to BrainTalk in the community setup for the same concerns — NeuroTalk. Check it out, as it’s been online for nearly a year now and has over 4,600 members. What’s the main difference between the two communities? Well, we run ours as a part of a larger ongoing Web concern (Psych Central), so it gets daily monitoring and attention, and remains ad-free.

Dr. John Grohol is the CEO and founder of Psych Central. He is an author, researcher and expert in mental health online, and has been writing about online behavior, mental health and psychology issues -- as well as the intersection of technology and human behavior -- since 1992. Dr. Grohol sits on the editorial board of the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking and is a founding board member and treasurer of the Society for Participatory Medicine.
