Forums
The OCD Action Forum will close on Tuesday 1st December
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this community over the years. The kindness and support you’ve shown each other has meant so much.
Changes to the technology our website runs on mean that keeping it working in the long term would take more investment than we’re currently able to give, and with very few people now using it, we’ve made the difficult decision to close it.
From 1st December, you won’t be able to log in, post or reply. Existing posts will stay up to read until 1st June 2027, when all posts and personal data will be permanently deleted.
You don’t need to do anything. If you’d like your posts or account deleted sooner, just email forum@ocdaction.org.uk and we’ll take care of it for you, before or after the forum closes.
Read the full update here, including answers to frequently asked questions, where to find support, and how to get in touch.
Can I register for a forum user account?
