OPI Forum Closed

In April 2026, we launched a new discussion board/forum to help give people a digital space to talk about the opioid settlement spending and related topics. The goal was to create a space outside of social media algorithms and big tech control. No tracking. Fully private and secure. We accomplished those goals, but the people did not follow.

Therefore, it failed!

We had a few dozen people people sign-up but no conversations besides spam (Want a time share in Belize?). And while it didn't cost a ton to run, it didn't cost zero dollars. We're a very lean organization and if it's not working, we've got to move on.

So, today, we shut it down.

To those that signed up, thank you for giving it a shot!
