The whole thread for your BMB thing just doesn't feel like it would work well. I like separate threads for different things and feel like I can't keep up with threads that are hundreds of pages long.

Yeah, having one thread is nuts. That's an easy way to lose members IMO. But maybe I'm just a fan of separate boards.
And frankly, I'm not trying to login to this forum plus SM plus another forum for our BMB. I assume since ProBoards is a free site, we can just stay here until total shutdown, right?

I'm not jumping ship from TCF until there are tumbleweeds, like EmMilAlly said. It is very easy to use both TCF and SM from tapatalk and I'm already on FB to post baby photos for my family. I'd be more hesitant to move to FB, but I'd probably try it as long as no one does anything really creepy. One thread for each month is way too little.
I also agree with loves2shop4shoes that people get up in arms way too easily.
I wonder if SM *really* knows what they're getting into. I'm a bit concerned that the influx from here will harm SM more than help.
I have a feeling that once they all realize that sm isn't going to be the promised land they want it to be, most will stick around here. I think most were probably just being really imoulsive and following the herd. I'm cool with hanging here until it dies.
Frankly, I'm irritated by the whole thing. Such a colossal shitstorm of unnecessary forum panic. I feel bad for the sm people and the crazy influx yesterday. In retrospect, it was pretty rude of "us" to just swarm in and take over.

Yeah, after browsing there and seeing the shit storm brought down on SM and their original posters (who don't seem thrilled with the take over of new members) I'm just gonna hang here. My N15 BMB has a FB group so if this place does die sooner than later I'll probably head there since I am more established with them (no offense, I just haven't known you guys as long and their FB group has been around a while) and that will be that. I felt like I came here too soon after TB implosion and felt lost and lost my J12 BMB in the process. I don't want a repeat of that. I get feelings were hurt or something, again I'm only here for my BMBs so the Parenting drama is not my drama, but burning down the house because of a few snakes seems outrageous. They've gone and taken over SM, why not just offer help to the obviously out of the depth admins and take over here yourself if you're so unhappy with it. I dunno.
Tl;dr: at this time I do not see myself moving. I am only here for N15 and F17. So if I'm the last one here to turn out the light, so be it. Continuing my life as per usual.

Agreed. Reason #145 why I never venture over to parenting. The long was threads are too much for my mushed up mommy brain.

I will admit I like reading the threads on Parenting when I'm bored. It's like reading tabloids to other people.... lots of talk and drama, personal stories about people you don't know, etc.
Buut, F17 is the forum that's actually important to me, and I like checking in on GKU people too. I think the group from Parenting gets a big head sometimes... and the IF boards absolutely need a home and a place to be themselves.

I've been MIA recently, but hope to be more active again soon. I'll probably hang out here until no one else is here.... but I'm cool with FB as well. I don't do regular Facebook anymore, but I have the groups app because J15 is on there. I probably won't move to SM. It sounds confusing if there are no actual boards for your month, just a thread.

I really don't understand the hubbub.
Like, ok. People are upset because they feel NariaDreaming hasn't done enough to get people to the site.
Ok. Well, last I checked, she's not a digital marketing expert.
And as a digital marketer of around 8 years, I can say that it's so much easier said than done. SEO isn't easy. Having posts "go viral" rarely just happens. You almost always have to be advertising on social media to have that happen. Marketing agencies have Retainers that cost thousands of dollars a month. You really have to know what you're doing and none of the admins have expertise in this last I checked.
Like, it's not as easy as people are saying. And I'm sure it's not easy when you're dealing with numerous losses in a year, either.
This whole thing reeks of entitlement and whining to me.
I'm staying and I think people are being ridiculous.
But how is this evidence for why 1000 people need to switch to SM?
This literally ALL came out of everyone being.butthurt about not having fresh meat.
Yup. Exactly.
I couldn't give two shits about the admins or their plans or fresh meat or any of that. The irony is that what makes parenting endlessly entertaining is also what makes it hard for new members to want to join: the intense snark.
Dude I know. I got roasted on there one day for saying it was childish to stop being friends with people over differing political views.
Have you seen my recent posts? FUCK HER. I am seething right now. What an inconsiderate fucking asshole.
I have not refreshed in the past few minutes but I am blown away. Â
This definitely puts a different light on things. I don't really know how to feel right now. I feel a bit gross staying and contributing to something that benefits such a disgusting person. At the same time, if that hadn't come to light I was fully prepared to just blow it all off as drama llama nonsense.
Should we consider reaching out to F17'ers that haven't been on in awhile, in case they come back and find us gone or the site dismantled? I don't want anyone to feel left behind.

I'm so confused....what is happening now?
Ketchup aired her de-modding story with naria pulling all kinds of bs. Pg 30? 32? Of the "talk" thread. Naria subsequently de-modded everyone.
