I haven't actually considered that. Have you been following the discussions on OT Connections? If so, I'm interested in your opinion.

Of course there is no fee and membership is not required to participate on OT connections in the public forums/groups.

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.
