I know I pop in here from time to time since having my boys 2 years ago. But I've been reading on the parenting board, I don't know the whole deal but judging from others posts this forum may be non existent soon.
I just tried to read the last page and wth. I'll be sad if TCF implodes. This is dumb. Sounds like the SM board doesn't have expected business plan or whatever people are wanting.

Hey guys! I know I've been completely MIA and a craptastical mod recently. But I heard about all this nonsense and had to come back to see what was up with my dear POMs. Let's discuss - what do you all want to do? Paging @feegan
IUI#1 12-02-15 BFP 12-17-15 CP 12-20-14 IUI#2 01-08-15 BFP 01-23-15, MMC 2-24-15, D&C 2-27-15, MC trisomy 20 IVF#1 with ICSI 5-15 16R/12M/12F/4 b PGS-all abnormal IVF#2 with ICSI 8-15 26R/24M/24F/7 b PGS - all abnormal IVF#3 with ICSI 2-17 13 R/12M/7F/5 b PGS all abnormal IVF#4 DE with IMSI 5-14 30R/25M/22F/14B PGS 10 normals! FET 7/15 2 PGS normal embies!
I don't see me moving over. I like it here, I am comfortable here. I like that our group is small and I feel at SM its a bit more public then I would like, if that makes sence. Obs. I know this is public but I think less people go and see it, and I am just more comfortable with that.

I'll probably jump between both. There doesn't seem to be a dedicated PoMs space on SM. I'd be good going to FB too. I just love seeing everyone's updates and relating to other PoMs so I don't want to lose you guys!
Let's see how this big talk goes today and if TCF looks like it's going to go dark how about we take a vote about migrating to SM or creating a FB group with those of us here now. That would limit any future add-ins though. Because of the matchy-matchy b/g post I'm already friends with a lot of you so I could easily start a group and then add the rest of you by private invite. Thoughts?
That works! can you tag me in the vote thread bc I will probably miss it. I generally come on here if I get a notification lol.

One thing to consider for going over is that, while yes their site is a bit more public, that also means we'll continue to get new pregnant POM's, which means new squishes to ohh and ahhh over once ours are beyond that stage.
Plus your experience and knowledge could be very helpful to the new crop of POM's over there and we all know how much we've relied on each other for that here.
I agree. I mentioned a PoM board on the welcome thread over there and I think a couple SM users commented. So they may already have a large PoM community but just no landing board. New members would definitely be fun.
Since my BMB is mostly on FB and I stopped participating on the IF boards, I'm down to just PoMs and I'm not really interested in joining another forum- this kinda fits into my plan to limit my time online. I would definitely join you all on FB though

I could also just keep having twins. I have 10 frosties left
I'd be up for FB since this is a relatively limited and established group. Let me know if you'd like help admining on FB or SM @feegan, depending on the consensus.

I don't know how some women have as many posts as they do. I just don't understand how it's possible!
Did anyone change their name over there? I feel like if you change your name, you should keep your avatar at least.
People were literally just posting numbers to get to the 20 to unlock other boards. My name and avatar are the same. I don't like change.

The part about people posting numbers to up their count--I found that very intrusive to the veteran board members. If there's a limit like that, it's not to make people post 20 useless things. If you're joining a place like that en mass, at least have the decorum to follow the intent of the rules.

I think just about everything TCF has done so far is invasive to SM. People rolled in and started making demands and acting like we own the place. Sorry you don't start a new school and just kick the old cool kids out. Like I don't even want to really participate over there because I feel like a rude house guest. It was different when we left TB and came here because this was an empty home to take over, not someone else's already established family.
mrsf0831 BTW, I hope I didn't offend you when I said I'd make the FB group, wasn't trying to butt you out by any means, just figured it would be easier for me to set up since I'm already friends with half of the POM's here.
Girl, no way! I am not "friends" w anyone here really since I did disappear after the boys were born 2 years ago 🙈. That is why I was just going to post the link here so people could join that way vs adding ppl bc That's easier and I hate tedious tasks h ahah.

Agreed. I'm avoiding the specifically TCF shenanigans besides an intro to let people know I'm there. Any posts I've made are actually talking to the community, established and new. TCF integration over there would be much more gradual that way, but might be better received.
I'm glad the admin there is pushing back and saying that they'll do some things, but others are out of the question.
Also, I made a new board suggestion for us over on SM, so hopefully they see it among the onslaught of other suggestions and general discussions within that thread.
I doubt I would move over there since I barely come here lol

I said a few things in the TCF welcome thread because I lurve Psych and checked in with toddlers since a lot of fairly active toddler board members seem to be moving permanently. Other than that I didn't do any crazy posting to get to 20 cause yes that is invasive.
