Fuck I am so pissed. I was so comfortable here. The people I've met have gotten me through treatment for an eating disorder, IVF, and now the 1st 7 months of pregnancy. Fuck this that everyone is pretty much being forced to leave. Even if I didn't want to, most people are and who knows how long the lights will be on for. I'll regroup wherever, I'm just so pissed it's ending this way.
I like the idea of a contingency plan. I think if this shuts down we should regroup in SM until or if a combined proboards for bmbs occurs. If the combined proboards doesn't happen then we can decide if we want to make our own or go to Facebook and have a secret group (like you can't even search for it if you are not a member- we can make it a closed one until we all get there and then make it a secret group).
I read page 26/7 of the "talk" thread but hadn't gotten up to Narias responses so I'll go check that out now. I'm very sad this all happened.

I hear ya I'm pissed about it all too. My other BMB is looking into a proboard so I like that idea for here too. I did register at SM and saw the A17 option

I finally read some of the posts and am majorly bummed. I would really miss you guys!! I also like the idea of another proboards for the month club. I read there's been some concern by existing scary mommy members about a ton of new people moving over, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to crash that party.
I'm going to check out SM in a bit, but I definitely have reservations about moving over there. Basically I'll go wherever you guys go. Don't leave me behind! lol
I don't really like the attitude at SM, but I don't really like the blog posts - so, I'm not surprised. They really only want people making one or two posts a day or at least it sounds like that's what they're used to.

I checked in over there and wasn't a fan either. It seems like it would be easy enough to just set up a proboard for our own BMB. Same format and we don't have to go FB route.

My other BMB is going here the person who set it up originally for N17 already has the other 2017 months in there so we can go here if others agree
Or maybe we could wait a little longer before scattering to too many different places? I mean, it is good to have a back up place in case tcf folds but I worry a bit that some things are going too fast There is always tomorrow - and we know where to fins eachother? I am afraid I will end up on x new different places with only a small part of my ladies? Ahh not very eloquently put but i hope it makes sense! Tis late here and I am exhausted heh.
I think the problem with SM is that there's no actual board for our bmb- just a thread. So it would be one long ongoing thread.
I vote the new bmb boards or staying here (which I'm not a huge fan of but I'm not as emotionally invested in the issues that have arisen as others).
Maybe let's do a poll - stay here or go to the new bmb probroads and give it a week? Then we can decide at the end of the week which direction to go in so everyone has time to check the poll out?

Just let me know where you guys go. I'd cry if I lost you all. I'm sad that others have left. I will go where I need to, but I feel like I am friends with many of you and it gets me through my days.
ETA: apparently the birth month board and threads have disappeared? Unless they moved them somewhere I can't find at all.... So SM isn't even an option, I think.
Good morning ladies! Or well most of you may still be asleep for at least couple more hours heh.
Yup the SM forums have been taken offline..
TBH, I'm ashamed even though I got nothing to do with the fact SM got taken offline.. I mean, I signed up and posted maybe 10 posts total here or there .. but it was due to people from OUR forum (albeit from boards I don't even frequent, and people I have no interaction nor investment in) that THEIR space got taken down and imagine what that would have been like had it been the other way around. I hope they'll find a new place to rebuild their board and continue the way they were used to.
That said, imho if there is no current "risk" of TCF suddenly going black.. my personal preference would be to stick around for the time being. Making hasty decisions is never good right? *g* Though if the majority feels different about this for whatever reason, please do tell and we can make different plans accordingly? It could well be I'm missing out on things/reasons that could change my mind, too?

But what would happen if one day we try to come here and it's shut down without any warning? I haven't been keeping up with all the drama, so maybe I'm worried for nothing and that definitely won't happen...?
