Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

How many sub-groups in this discussion board? Do members start their own groups here and "own" them so to speak, with their own moderators etc.? If so how is this benificial?

There are no sub-groups.
Anyone can post a relevant comment on any thread in any section, and can start their own thread if they so wish.

The moderators cover the whole of the Discussion Board.

I wonder what made you think there were 'sub-groups'.

I wondered because if there are 5 people on (as i can see anyway) that is alot and uncommon, usually it's 2 or so. Also i looked around to see if there is another canadian site or something and wondered about their numer on. I found one and when i looked at their agreement it said that they have people starting thier own groups and that ey own and run them. I don't think i like that idea-but know that I am not qualified to have an opinion, thus the question. I'm trying to figure out how things work and how best to help locally--but that requires more knowledge on my part. Not the tech stuff that i can get through the fouindation, but the personal stuff, like the childrens stuff.

There are different ways of setting up these boards, and different software engines that run them. I don't know much about it.
