i did it.

I officially let our board over there know I'm out.

Today our mod stepped down on m15. I'm just so over it. I don't need it. I haven't gbcb over there yet cause we are so close to having our babies i want to stay tuned. I'm just not participating. I may pop in at j13 just to let everyone know when i have A but that's it. I'm over it. I'm thankful for the times we had overt there but am ready to just stay here. I'm still entertaining a fb but haven't decided yet.

It's hard...I haven't gbcb either, but my other board OAD has 100%+ moved over. Our mod was a long-time mod who was NOT banned but was privy to all that went on behind the scenes. She told us that she would be leaving and we all followed. It was a really small group before and has more than doubled in participants here.

I do love the baby name board polls though, so I may keep following that board just to be able to vote "NO!" to the McAidens and Neveah-lynns.

I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I guess the time is coming. We have enough going on over here, I just hope everyone comes. There's no way I'm doing FB (sorry, ladies), but I do really like it here. It's not as bad as I thought it would be.

I saw your announcement and hopped in to say I was leaving on that thread too! I had already mentioned leaving before but I wanted to take the opportunity to just say thank you again to everyone there so thanks for giving me the push I am also so over TB but it is zero percent related to J13 so in that aspect it is really crappy but I am starting to like it over here way more that I am not even going to really lurk over there.

@aeroplaneoverthesea I am glad you don't do FB either! I always feel like the odd one out when everyone exchanges FB/IG info like I am the weirdo who wants to be anonymous. I swear I love you ladies even though I don't want to be FB friends

I haven't been over here in a few days and now that have I'm sucked in. Which isn't a bad thing. I just really didn't want to bounce to two boards. But it looks like that is what I'll be doing! I just can't leave TB officially but I want to participate here. Apparently I'm bit of a forum whore...is there a badge for that?

jobiann there should be!

I thought those not moving here were moving to FB?

That's not the impression I get, but maybe I missed something. I personally won't add just anyone to my FB, I've only added about 5 ladies from the board. I haven't looked at the FB group yet. If I find anything out I'll let you know.

I feel like a secret spy....there HAS to be a badge for that!!!

There is a Facebook group that has about 20 people in it. The thought was a lot of us were more likely to already be on Facebook and those that wanted to could keep in touch that way. Like me where I don't plan on being on the b too often if at all I can post there and keep in touch. I think they will try to keep the board going a bit longer but I'm not sure I see it happening.


Also going to add I completely get why some girls don't want to share Facebook info. That's a lot of personal info for a group.

[TheEleventhHour]

I get the impression that FB is a place for people leaving TB to keep in touch with people not leaving TB because several people don't want to come here. But it may also serve as a backup place to keep in touch if for some reason J13 dies on TB.

@aeroplaneoverthesea

I'm going to edit this out later so hurry quick! Ha.

Ahhhh chilibeansm0m I LOVE that name!

So I just saw that the Bump has gotten rid of all their "volunteer" mods. That's crazy. I know Jan. '13 never had a mod (or did we back in the day?) but the other board I was on did. It's crazy how things are changing. I'm still peeking over to Jan. '13 every now and again but my other BMB has completely moved over here. I'm not super active there but I feel the Bump is going to go downhill fast. Which is funny because they'll probably lose advertiser money from all their silly decisions.

The XO Group has clearly not learned. From what I have heard a similar thing went down on The Nest a few years ago and the boards are pretty much dead over there now. I really don't think that TB will ever get back to what it was. They made some really poor choices!

Ya. I saw that too. That's probably why I'll stick over here now. It makes me sad. I was on tb when I was pregnant with dd. It was such a help to me. My other BMB is completely dead on tb too. I can't believe what big mistakes they have made.
