I guess this isn't necessarily a UO or anything and I hate myself for doing it bc I eyeroll when it's been said in the past, but...
I have this weird feeling that I did or said something to nicb/mrsbabe that turned them away from me.
Hopefully this is just my paranoid social awkwardness coming to play, but I wanted to throw it out there.
Ahh no! I've been really busy at work and that's typically the only time I PB, plus going to 3 days a week equals mo time to dick around. I luuuurve you
So, why when I previously asked if people left because of the NO crap were we told that it was because Facebook was more convenient?
Is her crap what purp meant by ongoing stranger danger?
The ongoing stranger danger is what she pointed you to in the announcements, the details of which are some women from May 15 dug up personal information on regs who didn't join the FB group for that BMB, personal information like real names, addresses, and jobs, and contacted one of their places of business.
I can't answer why everyone stopped coming here, but I know NO is a reason for some people, and the rest is indeed convenience or the fact that lurkers kept showing up, one of which we're pretty sure was krysngreg, and it made people uncomfortable. Purp doesn't have all the answers and neither do I. But for whatever reason, people have migrated, and bringing it up every week and being annoyed isn't bringing them back.
ETA: and darkstar/NO is still floating around these boards and she did try to friend several of us on FB and people are a little freaked out by her. They have that right.

I'm not leaving but I don't like feeling like I have to come in here and defend those who did every week and feel like people are being combative over this. There's an FB group, we all have lives and jobs and babies, and two places is hard. Can't that be enough?

I get it. I'll stop bringing it up. Today was a little quiet and I was like...

And one last thing before I go: this is sort of the nature of the BMB. From what I gather from STMs who were on TD before, the board booms until the babies are born, then a FB group is formed, and the board dies out when the babies hit 6 months. For some reason I think I remember pnwlover12 saying this about her previous BMB. So it's sort of the nature of the beast.

Sigh. It just sucks to start losing a great community. I appreciate you hanging out here FWIW.

Agreed. I counted on this group so many times.
We just need to follow purp's plan and all get pregnant at the same time.

It sucks that PB isn't still going strong, but WWF is right, it's just because life gets busy, shit happens, people move on. I was more active here than I was in the facebook group at first, but the convo shifted over there and as much as a few of us tried to keep it here, it didn't work.
I also DGAF about NO/Darkstar. She's crazy, everyone should know it and definitely don't share any personal info with her, but I never cared if she kept posting. I actually felt sorry for her and wanted a place for her to remain a part of.
Best of luck to everyone, I'm probably done here though because I really think it sucks having this same discussion every couple of weeks. This one put me over the top because of the accusations about treating NO like shit even though all anyone ever asked of her was the truth. That's a crappy way to treat people who you claim you want to spend more time with.

This happened. And I think they also migrated to parenting. Mackalien was in my bmb and I saw she was a mod over on parenting.
