My head is spinning!

[shmee]

Can we make up our minds? Is this the official place to be so I shouldn't even bother over there anymore? I have to at least pretend to do some work while I'm at work, going between two places is too much!

[lauranicole91]

I was hoping this was the case, and it felt like that last night. But now today people are posting over there and there is no HDBD or ticker change posts here. Which leads me to believe people are still hanging on for hope of TB. Ugh.

[smilz4782]

I'm a wed ticker change but only participated once, I would feel like a fraud starting that thread here!

[Starbuck128]

Does this place show up on Google as a pregnancy forum? I love you ladies, but adding the occasional new member to the BMB would be nice too.

[lauranicole91]

I like the format better here (I use the tapatalk app) I'll be able to be way more active with you all here.

Also the bump has been deteriorating over the past several years. We had nasty insulting and threatening trolls back in 2012 and the bump gods did nothing. We came here and mods have IP look up and banning powers here. Not to mention all the stupid rules that were just added, I really have no desire to support the bump if this is now an option for us.

[onceinlovewithamy]

I was going to wait it out because I didn't think the new TOS was *that* bad. But after reading up on how Naria and Darcy were banned, I am super fucking pissed off. I'm taking the day off from the bump regardless if I stay or go.

As I mentioned in a thread last night, we still still get new members. I promise there are lurkers that followed us from there to here. They will introduce themselves as they see fit. Even years after our kiddos were born and we had been on PB/off TB for years, we had lurkers who intro'd on my 2012 BMB

[shmee]

lauranicole91 how do you center your siggy pic? Is there a cheat sheet somewhere? I'm anal about my signature and it's driving me nuts!

[smilz4782]

I want to stay here for the actual community and lurk there for newb dramz.

I do like a good newb getting their asses handed to them thread. But overall would prefer no drive bys.

[smilz4782]

PS I made a HDBD thread. Go post. I haven't taken a pic yet as I have no bra on and barely wandered out of bed...

[center*] siggy [/center*] minus the asterisks of course.

Also - I love being able to get notifications while mobile, since I rarely get on the actual computer!

I was just coming here to mention that even if using the app, you can get to notifications. Just click the three dots in the top right after you open a post and click web view, which temporarily gives you the mobile view which then shows notifications. then you just click the little white bubble to see them. When you are all done just hit the < in the top left to revert back to the app.

[orangepickle]

I'd prefer this site but will probably lurk on TB for a while

[smilz4782]

We need to get salty here

I don't think everyone is going to follow over.

It may take a few weeks for the dust to settle. I'm sure more people will follow over if it appears there are more of us here vs there.

[allisong87]

I agree I'm liking it here a lot more. No bullshit to deal with!

I feel like I'm a part of a secret society!

[shmee]

If we stop doing the back and forth, all the regulars we want over here will notice that we really are gone and then hopefully they will follow suit.

[scattered]

As someone who recently participated in a mass exodus, it does get a little bland without drive bys and random stupidity, if you're into that. However, it's a lot "safer" here as it doesn't show up in google searches as a pregnancy board.

I'm not a fan of trolls and I will absolutely never rejoin TB so PB is a good spot for those who feel similarly.

I'm getting used to this place pretty quick. It's not so bad. I really need to figure out how to successfully mobile gif though. And get a siggy.

I have a siggy crash course in the head count thread on mobile page 3. Giffing is easy once you get the tapatalk app. You just do [img*] gif [/img*] minus the asterisks. I'm not sure it's the same for mobile.

It is the same for mobile

There's been a few questions about how to create a signature - here's a step by step photo guide: goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/159/photo-guide-creating-signature

[shmee]

@ashtastic pinto said she was coming it would just be a little while til she could get things set up

[SassyPants150]

I like the exclusivity. I mean, I know we all had to "meet" somehow, but it's super nice to not feel like you are throwing out ALL your biznass for the world to see. I'm always paranoid about posting certain things due to people who I know IRL that do participate on TB or happen to search things there.

I'm really bummed about PintoBean.. I love her no thanks attitude but will still miss all of her posts maybe someone can talk her into joining us over here.

Are the M15 mods still going strong? Unless I have missed it, I didn't see either one posting so far today.

I'm here and there. Not posting much because there's so much to get through right now.

Oh, and I'm the one not having twins, if you weren't aware of who the hell I am.

[samiamagirl]

I'm going to miss the opportunity to add cool "new" members to this group if we stay on this board, but at the same time, as fun as the newb drama can be, it can also get old real fast. I'm not on one side or the other until I see how the dust settles.

[sabriel]

I hope that everyone stay here. I just find it ridiculous that so many long time board members, including Naria, got banned so in solidarity alone I will not go back to TB

[samiamagirl]

Is anyone keeping an eye on our board and getting in touch with regular posters who have been gone for a bit and have just shown up to the shit show? Just to let them know where we are (at least for now)?

[orangepickle]

Someone from April 15 spoke to the PR folks about all this, interesting... goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/138/email-sent-bump-update-pr

Sounds like a bunch of PR bull to me.

That was my thought exactly
