So over on SM we don't have a board, right? Just a thread? Is that how it's always going to be? I feel like it'll be annoying to do UOs or FFFC and Randoms that way.
That's how it reads. It said they won't be setting up BMBs. I don't know how we can move to just one thread.

I don't like SM at all. I don't really see how anyone does. Long continuous threads don't really work for what TB/TCF is. It's gonna shrink the whole group a lot and completely change everything. I think making a whole new board would have probably worked out better.

I feel the same way about they way posts get made on FB. I like connecting there and it's good for "real time" things but if one person starts a "thread" I feel like all the comments beneath it get lost. It's hard to follow.

Here is my take on this dramafest and the caveat is that I don't know what happened on the IF boards which hurt feelings and I don't know what the ketchup situation was. One of the most frustrating things in the world is when I go to a shit ton of trouble planning something (anything!) like a vacation and the night before we leave DH (Mr Coffee) has a looksie at the itinerary and starts making all kinds of suggestions and demands that we switch hotels, leave on a different day etc. I tell him to STFU and remind him that he didn't lift a damned finger to help me plan shit, he doesn't get to swoop in at the last minute and decide he wants to be part of a group consciousness. I get that some people donated some money when TCF first took off but if anything, I think the admins were too forthcoming about their business plan etc. Ya, new membership helps, but how many of those who were bitching on either of the long-ass threads had been actively promoting TCF or getting off their asses to help increase membership? The whole thing just seems a bit "Little Red Hen" to me. Personally, I ain't done shit to "help" TCF or its growth so I don't really think it's my place to criticize the slow pace of its growth nor the quality of the admins' work. It's a site where my friends are which is free for me to use, so I show up when I can, say "thanks for all you do" and accept it as it is. I don't know the level of BSC that Naria went, but my impression of the state of the forum thread was that the admins foolishly invited input on the backend situation room briefings and every woman who'd watched one episode of the apprentice was suddenly an MBA with strong feelz about how they had been failed by Naria and the other admins. My eyes ached from all of the eye rolling I did by the time I reached page 15. If only there were a gif for the scene in A few Good Men where Nicholson goes, "how dare you enjoy the blanket of freedom I provide and then question the manner in which I provide it???" Personally, I'd rather we just say, as a board, "thank you" and be on our way. This might sound completely dickish but I'm starting to wonder if it's an on-going theme for many users of TCF that we start to define ourselves by our hurt feelings and create drama for the sole purpose of basking in our victimhood.

I'm also starting to consider joining the FB group (God help us all) and I'm wondering if I could do it in such a way that NOTHING could be traced back to me in here. LOL TL;DR I'm not going onto any other forum like Scary mommy but MAYBE I'll join the dark side and start posting in yalls FB group if you will have me.
N17 set up a forum for just BMBs - not sure how anyone feels about that. I want to stay but of course if this site goes away, it could be an option for us. Copied from a post in J18 hopefully this works

"If you will have me" she says. GURL. PUHLEASE. We'd be all like if you joined us on FB.

There's talk in 017 about a joint BMB pro board. Like a forum for just the BMBs, I guess? Is that something we're open to? Looks like some BMBs are working together to get it up.

Would a poll be helpful? Or are there still a lot of undecideds?
ETA A poll about where to go or if we're staying
It might give number data but I don't think we all agree* (as in we already have women who exclusively stick to FB already) so I'm not sure what it would accomplish
* except we all agree this wasn't an issue in the first place
Hey guys-I'm on TCF- part of Aug 15 and N17 BMBs- I created a new BMB PB and I'm trying to structure it more like the TCF board. If you'd like to come check it out here is the link! (I promise I will try to make it pretty)
I didn't realize ketchup was involved with the drama in some way, but I'm not surprised. I stopped posting on another board that I've been a part of for 4 years now. She comes off as only her opinion matters, or at least matters more than anyone else's.

In this instance I believe she us the victim not the villian. But I don't know her from Adam so take that however you want.
She very well could be, I'm certainly not caught up on everything.
