Does this mean we won't be on the tapatalk app any longer?

[paddyb]

justbeth, it was not clear how this is going to effect tapatalk.

I believe from watching what has been going on on my tapatalk it will be there, there may just be a little bit of a delay.

eta: apparently it is at most a 24 hr. delay.

Did everyone see the current discussion about consolidating boards? More specifically BMB and making them quarterly boards instead of each month? I just noticed the post today but it started last night.

I took a look, I thought they were leaving it how it is...maybe changing navigation to our board, but keeping our board...at least for right now.

bliz1712,

there was an update to the post:
There has been a request to consolidate newer BMBs into quarterly boards (Jan/Feb/Mar, Apr/May/Jun, Jul/Aug/Sept, Oct/Nov/Dec). There have been opinions for and against this. Our current plan is to watch the BMB growth, work on some ways of recruiting people into the BMBs (we are open to help/ideas on this), and re-evaluate this in a few months. We will create a new post to discuss this when the time comes. In the meantime we have heard your thoughts on a general pregnancy board and we will be consolidating the Tri boards into that instead of a pregnancy questions board.

In general we would like to note that if you want a board to continue to be available, the best way to do that is to ensure it is active. Invite people you know and encourage people to post. Make new posts.

...
sounds like it would just be for new BMB going forward if things don't pick up. will not effect us

[bliz1712]

Yeah I think we are pretty active. Thanks for copying/posting that.

[paddyb]

It looks like we will be sticking with the goobyecb.proboards.com for a little longer... the hosting issue is with TCF.

So I'm behind. Am I keeping tapatalk?

[xanthepants]

Was everyone having trouble with the new link today? I was getting errors all day, until I went back to goodbyecb instead. Just wondering....

[mrsdonati]

I keep getting an error message with an alligator on it

[bliz1712]

I got error messages around 3 on the computer. I think we're supposed to use the old address for awhile still. I thought I read it was issues with then comes family but I'm not sure.

yes. they are having problems with the new host or something.  The old links work for now.

paddyb Did you see the post about them needing $$ for the new server or something? I only briefly read it but do you know what that is all about?

[bliz1712]

laurski81, I saw that this morning. Apparently they need money for a better server or something, which I think would affect us somehow.  I think it would solve the connection issues we've been having.  Since TCF is growing they need to grow that aspect as well.  So they are taking donations and for certain dollar amounts you can get things. For $5 you can pick the saying for the day with the love tit, one is you can pick a title to be listed under your name, and one is you can pick the title of someone else.

[laurski81]

bliz1712 ahh ok. Thank you!

[bliz1712]

I still get issues every once in awhile that they've exceeded their capacity and it won't load, so I'm assuming that is what they are referring to. But I don't know IT stuff so I could be way off.

[cbear]

Ok I'm lost- I'm assuming we are staying put until further notified? When I click on our page link it says not found...

[paddyb]

Yes. Staying here.

[bliz1712]

cbear, I don't think the new link is working. I haven't changed my link yet.

bliz1712 is right. In order to have a URL without proboards in it, they need to host the site themselves (so they can get advertisers). In order to do that and have things work and be able to handle the amount of traffice we have, they need a dedicated server.   It will cost $1200 for 6 months of $2300 for a  year. 

They are fundraising to cover the cost of that so the admins don't have to go out of pocket on it before the site starts making money.

It looks like they are at least half way to the goal of at least $1200.

essentially they are asking for donations to finance their business venture. I would not feel any pressure to help them out. from reading through the thread, it seems there are a number of people that are more than happy to make the donation for the swag there are offering.

[bliz1712]

I don't plan on making a donation, call me heartless, but when they start requiring money I will be out.

I won't be either. It rubs me the wrong way that they basically asking people to finance a business venture. It would be different if they didn't have the option for free hosting on the proboards but they do

[bliz1712]

FYI: The new links are supposed to be up and working. Don't forget to change your links.

[paddyb]

The new links work now.

I have had some trouble with being logged out while navigating lately with the new links, but I think they are working on that.
