I follow good news pages on Instagram. It's good for wellness.

There is nothing stopping us from creating our own community hash tags.
We could start titling threads with good news as GOOD NEWS and then the title. "GOOD NEWS - I Just Won a Million Dollars."
I'd also appreciate a SAD ANIMAL STORY or COMPLETE DOWNER and GROSS IMAGE ALERT tags as well.
We can't stop contrarians and perpetual-bad-day-havers from doing their usual thing. But that doesn't have to mean we can't post the topics we think are positive or uplifting.
I'd also say that we all have our personal biases and blind spots, some known and some unknown to us. So what I find positive and cause for celebration might really offend and irritate someone else, even if the content was completely within the rules of the forum. And that person might very well show up in what I considered to be my sweetness and light thread and let me know how wrong I was, feeling completely justified in their views.

Probably because their current contract with their IT provider doesn't include any forum changes.

It would never work here for many of the reasons cited.
Many people, for example, would consider welcoming a baby into the world to be Good News.
But here you inevitably get "I hate her, she's trashy, she's a bad parent, they won't raise that baby up proper...."
It happens every day here, to the extent anything new is ever posted.

Good News threads belong in the Among Friends forum.
If the good news concerns children, grandchildren, they belong in the Mom to Mom forum. We don't need more forums.

@KingstonsMom What makes you think that? I'm asking seriously as we really have no idea, do we?

Did you miss the first word of my post???
It was "probably"........

We don't need a "good news" forum. If you want to post something that you think is good news, we have two perfectly fitting forums for that.

There have been many good threads and there will continue to be many good threads.
As far as posters trying to "take down the thread" - that is perception.
Some cannot stand an opposing pov and will accuse said poster of always chasing or being mean to her etc. etc. etc.
Then along will come a "back up" to announce that the poster with the opposing POV is the nastiest person on this forum with the advice to go back and look at her posts. Just happened last week.
Those are the issues that take down good threads and even contentious threads. Taking posts on such a personal level causes the feuds, not opposing pov's.
Differences in how one views any topic is ok. The name calling dooms any threads, and nothing else.
