I've owned and operated OTnow.com and the OTlist for about 15 years.
Until recently, the OTlist was my primary avenue for sharing concepts
and ideas relating to occupation-based therapy. About 1 year ago, AOTA
instituted an online social site called OT Connections. I find this
site to be a wonderful avenue for spreading my thoughts, so I no longer
post on the OTlist. For quite some time, the OTlist has essentially
been defunct and is no longer an avenue for discussion about occupation
and occupation-based practice.
I've spent over $1,000 dollars plus COUNTLESS hours paying for hosting
and maintenance of this site/list. I did have a couple corporate
sponsors along the way to help defray some of this cost, but for the
most part it's been a labor of love. However, I've decided to not renew
my hosting account which means that in the next couple months, the
OTnow.com web site will slide into oblivion.
There are close to 400 members from AROUND THE WORLD on this list serve.
It has been an honor sharing and learning from the thousands of
messages having been generated by list members. It's sad for this to
come to an end, but it appears to be the right choice.
Thank You,
Ron Carson MHS, OT
