I'm not sure if anybody else ever visits the LYB forum but it's a plastic surgery forum that has recently gone down amid the growing scandal surrounding PIP implants.
Due to the fact that regulation surrounding plastic surgery in the UK is so lax, it is a great, great shame if the forum is down for good. People in the UK considering surgery absolutely need good information at their fingertips to begin their research and avoid making decisions that could negatively affect them for the rest of their lives. I'm sure any who've had bad HT can identify with this predicament.
The problem with the forum was that the ad revenue was generated by the 'big' surgery chains that have been guilty of using PIP implants and then refusing to remove them for free and this is why I believe the site has been taken down.
Again, the lack of resources and information surrounding plastic and cosmetic surgery is a terrible thing as there are plenty of companies happy to exploit peoples' insecurities for large sums of money. This is why having a forum in the UK is so vitally important.
Richtea, if you're reading this, I'd love to hear anything from you about the forum. If LYB is gone for good, it is a terrible shame and it will be missed.
