I would love a private board, even though I haven't been the most active. i think it's totally fine at this point, and like PPs said I'd assume some lurkers come out and hope they'd be allowed to join as well. Plus I love the idea of a "private" board vs Facebook, since there could still be some potential anonymity if/when necessary.
Hi all, some of you might know me from IG and the other place but I've yet to post here. I was able to participate for a while when I was on mat leave but since starting back at my 50+ hour a week job I rarely have time to post and mostly just lurk. I get that at this point you've all created this close community and that I'm not really a part of that, even though I wish I had the time to be. If you go private I'd love to join and speak up more and try to be a part of this. But I totally understand if you guys don't want to let in mostly lurkers.
I like private. I agree with squirm, I will be posting all the details of our hot lesbian life starting with us hemming and ironing curtains at 8:30 last night.
I certainly remember you metreky. I wouldn't think regular lurkers who only contribute occasionally are what bothers people, it's the people who've literally never contributed anything.
I'm a J14 mom, a lurker here (since J14 basically decamped to FB) but I've also posted here a couple times when I've felt I had information or experience to impart. Anyway, this is your community and you should do what you want but I would be sad because I feel I get a lot of baby/toddler related info here that I don't elsewhere (toddler or parenting boards) because you all are so active and babies are all roughly same age. If you were to stay open it'd kind of be a public service, even though I understand that's not the point.
I would think anyone who has posted here ("here" meaning ProBoards F14) would be allowed to join. I don't think we need an eligibility quiz or anything. We don't have to decide that right now. I'm sure that's a big discussion/debate we can have if/when the time comes.
But, lurkers, here's your big chance -- come out now! Or forever hold your peace.
Actually... I like the idea of a quiz. Like citizenship questions about our tenets and history.

I am very curious as to whether I would pass this hypothetical eligibility quiz. I am picturing a cross between a citizenship test with lots of f14 history and our daily buzzfeed quizzes with random questions about my favorite cat picture.

I did be ok with it. I find out one of our friends sisters did how figured out who I was....I believe on the bump...creepy. but I think people would be more comfortable talking about private and sensitive matters.
I'm a yes and maybe I'm mean but I feel like it's too late for lurkers we've never heard of to come out now and make the cut for the private board. Sorry but we don't know who those people are. I'm not talking about metreky or kookiemonster, I recognize them. metreky Aren't you in the bay area?
iwubrory Yep! East bay. You're near Sac right? I have some family in Rocklin. Did you ever get Mariposa bakery goodies? They sell the brownies at my work cafe and they are great for being gluten free.
I've been with this group since the beginning, although I'm not a regular poster. I was fmroland87 on TB and changed my name when we came over here. I intro'd here but haven't been on much because I couldn't access the Internet for 2 months but I understand everyone wanting to go private. Ya'll have built such a close community and I wish I would've posted more in the beginning. I hope I could come if we did go private.
Seriously though. Someone will just have to decide on something (if this actually happens), and just send it to everyone? Maybe jammersc, the spreadsheet queen.
