Ok. There are like 5 different forums now. Lol. The politics forum currently has parentings drinking thread. Mcbennys board has all the boards we had here including bmbs There is a loss/If forum There is a bmb forum There is a 1D forum I think they are going to take a vote and see where everyone can go together. I will update as I can. Can someone tag as many m15 ladies as possible so they can see this?
Seems like the majority are here. It's not just politics and more boards will be added/ plans will be made, just not yet because everyone is exhausted. Everyone come over.
What happened is scary mommy got mad when some parenting peeps got mad that it's against their board rules to call out racism/sexism/what have you in a direct manner. Then scary mommy shut down the forums for "maintenence."

Can we tag all the M15 people into this thread? I know I haven't been around, so someone who knows who's here should do it. I don't want anyone to get left behind!
Stay here or come to the link I posted right now. There's drinking and general chat there currently. Long term I'm positive everyone will pick 1 of the new boards and reconvene there.

Our went really well also. Expect for the 40 degree temps and the rain.
Aw that's a bummer! We actually had nice weather (it usually rains or snows at all of our birthday parties) I was so nice having the kids outside instead of trashing my house.
So we had a birthday party today too and I come back and find out everything is in chaos again. At least we had a great party. The weather was finally nice and 2.5 years after we move in, we finally got to take advantage of our nice outdoor space.
I'm so annoyed with this whole situation. I feel like there were many points where this clusterfuck could have been avoided. Why was a SofT thread posted if no admins were available to respond? Everyone got worked up into a frenzy by the silence in the SotF thread. Because there isn't a website? Who cares? Are people reeeeally that upset there isn't a website or new posters coming here? (I'll come back to this later) I know it's kind of a joke that posters here like to fight, but they totally do. People were bored and so they ran with the SotF thread. Everyone wanted to get their jabs in and top each other and see who could get the most love tits. I think the initial threats/calls to move somewhere else weren't really serious but then it turned into something you couldn't back down from. I think people wanted to make a point and "hurt" Naria and possibly the other admins. I understand the frustration from the lack of response but leaving was not well thought out and rushed and frankly, stupid. The phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind. As far as the drama with Naria, honestly I don't really understand what happened. She de-modded someone and lied about the reasoning? Ok, that's shitty. But the name-calling and just total bashing of her in the talk thread really shocked me. I'm in no way defending her but the piling on there was just...gross. Like 99% of the people in this forum weren't even personally effected by this situation. Once again, people need to get their jabs in and it get out of control. So everyone goes to SM. There are "new" posters there. Guess what? No one likes new posters! People like posting with the people they know who agree with them and post in the style/speed that they are used to. Apparently now people are creating different boards and there is fighting and butt hurt about who is "invited" to which board 🙄 I guess it doesn't really surprise me because there's always been a preoccupation with who the popular kids are on this forum. Maybe every forum is like that, I don't know. This is the only group I've ever participated on forums with. I wish there could have been (could be?) an actual discussion about what happened and what the future of THIS forum could be. Maybe Naria would be willing to apologize and step aside? Maybe there have been a lot of miscommunications and misunderstandings here? Maybe I'm being naive or I'm not understanding the situation correctly but it doesn't seem to me like this can't be resolved somehow.
Anyway, I love this BMB but I'm super annoyed with the rest of this group. At this point I don't know if I even care about keeping up with anyone else. I'm halfway expecting people to come in here and start yelling at me about this post.
Tl;dr Just a general rant about the situation and some things that have been annoying me about this forum. Not BMB related.
Popping in to see where we are going as I'm part of our FB group.
My N17 ladies have set up camp on ProBoards, not sure if a M15 has been made yet.
If you want one to be made, tell me and I'll tell my N17 lady who is creating the BMB's
I requested that may 15 be made. It's there but no one has moved yet. I think they are waiting for the dust to settle to see where we are officially going.

smilesp I think everyone agrees with you with the exception of the ketchup situation. They are genuinely upset about that. I get that it doesn't affect most of us but some are very upset. I would like very much to stay but that doesn't look like it's going to happen. I was pretty strongly against going to scary mommy because I didn't like not having a bmb. You guys are important to me.

This is pretty much how I feel. People wanted new posters, but now that they have their own boards they aren't inviting people?
I'm going to say what I wish I would have said day one. Parenting doesn't want new posters. They want new drama. Congratulations...you got it. It will be short lived and now all of these PBS will die.
They know that without new people to fight with, they turn on each other. And that's what's next, I think.
