Also, there is never-ending shit going down with this site/SM site. More drama is happening on a few different threads - including a SM user coming over here to tell everyone they were too aggressive and to find their own Internet home. I created an account over there but it doesn't seem like a permanent home. So I'm glad most of us want to stay here anyway.

I don't know, we've got a shit ton of our own drama too. It's in the Talk thread.
If you consider Naria to be a friend, maybe give that thread a little read. I'm sad to see everyone stay, but I'm not sure I can justify giving her the revenue of my page views/accidental ad clicks anymore.

A free PB website would be easy to make and would also be an easy transition for those who hate change. For those who do hold some brand loyalty to TCF, imo it's an okay solution but will ultimately have to be your choice. I for one have no desire to bring the drama of the last few days over to an O17 board we might make.
I also agree that while SM tried to accommodate us, having one long O17 thread will get really old, really quick. And while I won't rule out eventually moving to FB, I don't think we are there yet. You all seem like perfectly sane people, but I'd give it some more time - haha.
I look forward to seeing everyone's thoughts on this.

I will attempt to follow where this board decides to go (or stay). I have not looked into SM yet - it sounds all a bit overwhelming to me right now. And I don't really understand how to create a O17 PB (someone here is surely more tech savvy than me though). And I agree with Cythe that it is probably a bit premature to make a private FB group 16--20 weeks in here...
However, I've attempted to read most of what's going on with TCF and I have a lot of feels....
It took me longer than I care to admit to go from lurker to poster and, while I haven't been the most active poster to date (but summer vacation now so I can post more!), I want to continue posting with you all. I want to see these O17 babies come October and not loose the community we have built so far.
I have been reading and following along with all of this crazy TCF stuff. I don't like the drama, I don't like what's been brought into the open, it's really... icky feeling.I've ventured over to SM, but from what I've heard from a few other ladies, they have no intention of expanding the bmb to anything beyond a single thread. I think we may be better off doing our own thing, but I do hope we can all stay together.
Vegas Baby! Great day at the pool with 2 Bloody Mary's. I'm going to eat some pretzals as I get ready for BRITNEY. rachydc
I'm probably not going anywhere else because i don't have the history or the life importance tied to this place. Plus I'm not even pregnant so I'll just keep posting here. Back to my pretzels!
Editing bc I spelled pretzels wrong. This means I shouldn't be posting!
I think it means you SHOULD be posting!
Can we have a thread dedicated to Mrstommyshelby Vegas posts? Pretty please???
I have no idea how to create a new forum, but I'm positive I could muddle my way through it.
Another question to consider: would we want to keep it public or a private board? Private would help keep our privacy, our threads wouldn't show up in any search engine results. Public of course, would be much as it is now.

I have no interest in SM or a FB group. I like the idea of a free PB private group. I don't post a ton but once that baby comes and I'm up every 3 hours with feedings, I'll be all over the board I like the middle of the night consideration
I'm not so stubborn that I'd sit on a sinking ship - if we are worried about the future of TCF I'll go somewhere else. But I agree that I don't think SM is that place - I can't do a single thread BMB. If someone sets up a new board for O17 I'll join.
Also, I'm fine with any new board being private and unsearchable vs. public. I think at this point, with most of us approaching our halfway point, there won't be many, if any, new members. So I don't really think there are others still seeking out an 017 board KWIM?
I agree, that way we can always be a little more lenient with pictures or names/baby names/ect as people are comfortable.
Of course, everyone should still take all the precautions they feel necessary but it just keeps the lurkers and randoms away. If we do have some stragglers - now is a great time to say hi!!

Oh, I completely agree about there being drama here too (TCF, not O17). I was referring to both sites/the whole situation in my post but it may not have read clearly. I caught up on the Naria stuff earlier, and yeah - whoa.
FWIW, I'd be fine with our own Proboards board if someone is willing to spearhead it. Public or private is fine with me. But as far as going over to SM and having a single O17 thread, I agree it would get old quick.
Just so everyone knows, im working on getting an O17 board set up. Ill post the link when its presentable. Its private and you have to register, but dont fret the registration just comes to me and I click yes or no.
THE POWER.

As I was coming here to post this, I did see that there is a discussion of a combined BMB proboards. I know sometimes too many options is a bad thing, but feel free to weigh in on that if you will. Like I said in my post above, the website took me like 15 minutes to fidget with and is easily deletable so if we decide to go combined BMB route, thats fine.

I'd be fine with combined boards but if everyone prefers private, I too will go with the consensus. Basically, as long as we don't lose our group, I'm happy - wherever we end up.
But for those who haven't seen, Buttercup invited us to N17 to discuss a combined group. If you're for it, maybe hop over and join in. (There's a thread with the link on our page. I don't c&p well on tapa.)

So there's now a public proboards for the 2017 birth months - birth-month-boards.freeforums.net/ The person who set it up was in my A15 BMB so I trust her too. I signed up at both and I will follow where the people go.

Guys - I'm alive and want to post a summary but all of this where to post is too confusing for my current state! I'm going to eat some brunch by the pool and will report back!
Post by CoachTsWife on May 20, 2017 13:55:33 GMT -5
Holy cow, guys. This is crazy.
So, yeah, we aren't ready for Facebook. I lean towards going with a group of BMBs. And I'm sure if we want ours to be private, we could set it up that way. But I'd also love for people to be able to find us, then ask to join (if we're private) if that's possible. I learned so very much from my July 15 board and we've had a lot of people join us since the babies were born. I'd hate for someone searching for support/education to not be able to find us.

Also, in case anyone wanted to save their post history from here, someone posted the instructions in my other BMB (from another BMB).

I'm back! I feel like this post will be the equivalent of yelling into an empty cave but whatever.
Trip has been great. Lots of sun and drinks. We have been having amazing brunches here with fresh squeezed juices which is something I never drink. Now, onto the exciting stuff! We had a ton of fun at Britney. We had margaritas and Mexican at the hotel of her residency at this place that has a terrace area right on the strip so you can see the strip and the Bellagio Fountains. It was very vegas and put us in a good Britney mood. Now, I knew what to expect. She doesn't sing it's a dance show. My BFF loves Britney and was somewhat disappointed that she wasn't giving it her all but I was not.rachydc was right, the actual production value of the show was great. They did this hologram thing of will.i.am that was so cool and all the costumes were top notch. She did a little Missy Elliott mash up which I loved because I love Missy Elliott.
Sipping some Champagne post massage and about to get ready for the night. The Michael Jackson Cirque is on tap tonight.
Basically this post is one big brag but no one is reading here anymore anyway! We are really having fun and I'm trying to make the most of the things I couldn't do if I was still pregnant.
If everyone moves someone has to pm with with very specific instructions on how to find you guys. I won't post on scary mommy and it was a big step for me to create this account so my future communication is uncertain but I've really enjoyed the community atmosphere of O17 and you helped me deal with my mc so thank you!

blackmamba Some people want to save their post history for stuff they posted about their kiddos, like baby book type things. I think. I just did it anyway. lol
