I want to stay with you ladies. I dunno what to do here. I like the community as a whole.
Fracturing like this gives me feels.
Isn't this just a proboards at heart? We might lose this url but we are just an upgraded free forum so why wouldn't we lose some of the sparkle and proboards support and just be a free forum like GBCN?

They said they aren't shutting the site down, so we should still have our little BMB here. There really isn't a place that I can see for us to go over there without joining the giant parenting like board. I dunno. I might create an account but I'm not in a rush to go anywhere.
The admins came back and basically said leave if you want we don't care at this point (para). There's a massive movement to ScaryMommy happening now.
Shut up.
Does scary mommy have discussion boards?
This is the actual response:
TCF isn't going anywhere right now. We will work through the suggestions given and look toward the future. If you want to stay great, if not then we're sorry to see you go. This has gotten out of hand. Theo is on vacation until 6/1, Naria is in the hospital, and biblio is only one human.
This thread has served its purpose and is well past the end of its useful life. Feel free to continue the conversation, but we will not be responding.
------ I don't know I feel like they see themselves in a lose lose situation and they don't see anything they say will be enough, and frankly I agree with them. I truly doubt they could have said anything to make people happy.

I dunno. If the admins see this as a business venture, are they going to keep at it if they can't make money to support their goals? At what point do they fold? I don't think we know those answers.
It's a cluster.
And there are others I want to stay in touch with.
Maybe I am wrong, I have always thought they were taking it on to make it a place we wanted to be, it was going to take money but the goal wasn't to start a business. I could be wrong.
I'm not leaving, just keeping my options open like starbuck27. Plus, I wanted to make sure I got my SN, because obviously everyone wants to be a jubilant squirrel.
I think it may be worth asking the admins via pm what happens if revenue no longer pays the bills, what's the backup plan. Will they keep a free site or kill switch.
Do you think they would answer that?
I think this is fair. I would hope they would answer it honestly.

+1
Personally I would be fine with continuing to post with you guys here and post on other boards over there. This is assuming that this site continues to exist.

Maybe. I have to assume they have gotten a lot of PMs like that in the past 36 hours though.

Yeah give it a week, nothing is changing that fast.

I'm home alone in a clean house staring at my vacation drawing to try to calm down. Even my drive to and from work has gone to shit this week. The freeway is literally gone. They are tearing it up. I don't like change. Not at all.

My biggest fear about losing this site is losing all the history here. I didn't do a good job keeping track of my pregnancy and I have not done a baby book. But I've been posting almost everyday since we got our BFP. I guess I always assumed I could come here and look things up if I needed to. I don't like starting from zero on SM. This whole thing sucks.
