I just spent too much time reading the threads. What a shit show.
But. I really don't see this ending well for TCF so I think having a plan in place is a good idea. I'll hang here until they shut it down but I really do feel like that'll actually happen soooo
+1 to all this. I tried to catch up at work and not only was I confused by it all, I was also just sad. People are so nasty to one another. I don't want to try to log on one day and have all of this be gone. And I feel like we are very close to that being a reality. I'd like a plan too.
Ditto to a plan. And I do think that whatever that plan is, we should make an effort to reach the F17ers that haven't been around in awhile. Leave no one behind.

No idea what happened last night, but randomly demodding everyone is exactly what shouldn't be done, and what Naria said like two days ago she wasn't going to do.
I have a wedding today, church tomorrow... and who knows what will be what by Monday.
I'm going to pm ls2012 my e-mail address... if something happens or we move or whatnot and I miss it, she can e-mail me. (Not really any reason to pick her other than she seems to be on top of things that are happening.)
My vote is for a new proboards. I agree that SM is rightfully not enthusiastic about the recent influx of new people. And the lack of bmb's and other niche communities is bothersome.
shellbell, are you still ok with setting one up for us? Assuming, of course that everyone is alright with that being our new home.

Honestly I'd be ok with a secret group on FB. I'd much prefer it. My personal profile is private so it's not like I'd be sharing more than my name and picture, which I'm pretty sure you could get by googling my screen name. I'm on FB all the time so I'd be more active too. I'm actually in two secret groups there that started at the bump and a few more that I met through people I met in the bump. I've only had one issue and it was not a big deal.
ETA: Did I just post in F17??? What's happening??? Is this real life?
ETA2: I did just post on F17! Hi fellow strangers I've never talk to before. Wanna be Facebook friends? Sorry about that! This post showed up on my feed and I thought it was from J17. I guess I can't Internet this early in the morning

Thanks for the shoutout ls2012. Sorry I haven't been around much but I have been lurking when possible. I definitely don't want lose touch with you awesome ladies.
I am part of the PAIF/SAIF Facebook group so If happily participate in a BM group too, but I totally get that's not for everyone. I'll give whatever you guys decide a shot to stay in touch! Definitely let me know, please.

I would prefer FB but would go to a new PB as well. I have no interest in going to SM as it's more for parenting and who knows how long it will me before they jump ship and go elsewhere.
Just in case, as a fall-back, I did make an F17 thread over on SM. I don't much care for it over there but my politics buddies migrated so I'm pretty much there anyway. Whatever.

A private board, I might be cool with. I just have 0 interest is SM. The one thread for a BMB is too much for me to follow and I see it only being a bandaid before everybody from TCF tries to move on again. I'm on FB with my N15 but they went through months of weeding out creepers that I didn't know existed on our board so who knows who's a creeper here (maybe me???). They've just already been through that drama so I'd rather try to stay as similar as we are now in our own little space than go through possible drama either through SM or FB. Just my 2 cents.

Yep, she deactivated last night after things got really heated in the SOTB thread. I still keep in touch with her PAIF/SAIF FB group so I will send the bat signal when we pick a new place for her to come back to if she chooses.
Yeah things got out of hand between her and a poster on the let's talk thread. crazycatlady6 and I will make sure she knows where we end up, though. She'll be touched you asked about her!

I don't even get how that happened. She is the most likable person ever.

I'm down for any move. I have a handle over at SM, although I am struggling to see how I'd fit there. I don't like it as much as here.
I'm down for another PB thread although I fear things would dwindle, and we are already such a small group. I understand that's the nature of the beast regardless, but I'd like to stay in touch with everyone.
I'd also do a private Facebook group, although I think that things would change there too. Like we would post questions and touch base, but I don't think we would have threads like we do here.
TL;DR: I would choose new PB, FB group, SM....if this place is no longer an option. Just my two cents.

Also as a side reminder when we move on don't forget to take your birth story with you if you don't have it written elsewhere and want it. It was the only useful reminder I got from the long ass threads.
If it's already created and a similarly navigable forum, I say we just go to the new one made by mrspiatt. And that way those that don't want to lose contact with their other bmb's will still have that access.
