Hi all. We are redesigning newmobility.com and are sorry to say that the message board will be discontinued in mid-October. Thank you to everyone who has participated over the years.
Moving forward, we encourage you to join us on Facebook and on the new website when it launches in late October.
It is unbelievable that NM is closing its message board. Since I don't use Facebook I will no longer have contact with NM. Thanks to all my friends here over the years, their support and all. I will still check in at PQ from time to time. These times they are a changin'. Goodby friends and all. Paul:-)

No it isn't. If NM wants to become a credible source for those with disabilities, they sure don't need a messageboard that is more than a fight fest than a disability resource. NM & CureCure used to be the big dogs online. Now they have a lot of competition. Time to dump this junk.

You may be right Flicka. I never looked to NM for disability info, but only for socialization mainly so those who need special disability info and backup may find it better on Facebook. I hope so if that is where they are going. Best to you all. Paul
Flixx is correct. The good old "Patio" days are long gone. I met some really good people here and this place was a wealth of information for me. I found out that quads, like myself can live independently and have relationships.
Take care of yourselves
I am forever thankful to NM for its conception; continued success on your magazine.
I think Facebook and other social media pretty much killed all message boards, and this one, having been on borrowed fumes for a while now, was especially vulnerable to progress. Like a clock, everything eventually moves forward. This place is no different.
