Does this interest anyone as an option?
I am reading the private thread and I am getting the feeling people are going to split up between SM, FB, or leave all together. To anyone who has missed the threads over the last few days, this has nothing to do with our board personally, but rather a seemingly inevitable sitewide GBCTCF. I personally was ready to stay here, but I fear there's too much splitting up happening.
budders suggested a private pro board as an option but understandably doesn't want to set it up or admin it (and thank you for all your time doing so!) I have seen suggested throughout the posts I have waded through that many BMBs or small groups do this to keep in touch if they don't move to FB.
I would possibly be interested in doing the legwork. I believe it would essentially just be like what we have here but much, much smaller. Just a private forum of our own. We can keep up with our HDBD, Elfster, randoms. I wouldn't be seeking new members, just whoever is still currently posting here and wants to stay together. I wouldn't even be interested nor hopefully find the need for much moderating, other than figuring out how to get it password protected and get that password to the 10-20ish members we have left here. <--this is up for discussion (and if someone did want to volunteer to mod, I'd be completely open to that)
Scary Mommy has been very accommodating, but they have said they will not set up private birth month boards. Currently we have a single, ongoing J15 public randoms thread over there. Facebook is not an option for some people left here. I'm just wondering if this is a viable enough option to keep most of us together. I know most of us just set up an account on Scary Mommy so if people are happy with that, or posting on the FB group, or overwhelmed in general with wanting to start somewhere else then that's fine too. I'm scared of losing what we have as a community, so I thought I'd throw one last idea out there before completely deciding what to do myself.
