I am team stay here unless we are merged. There are too many crazies in the world. I even think a private group on here might not be the best because then it has to be decided who all is included in it. I know I don't post a ton, but I am here regularly. I don't know that I would qualify as a regular enough poster to be included, and I would be bummed to miss out on all the great conversations and advice.
+1 I only recently started lurking and posting bc when I was pregnant and working I wasn't online at all since my job isn't on a computer. It was too fast paced for me to catch up every night when I got home. Now that I'm home and alone with only DS, I'm on and reading/posting way more but not enough for people to know me enough to be included in a fb or private group.... I like it the way it is!

IME, Facebook can be disastrous. People can creep and learn too much about you. It also tends to become cliquey. I don't oppose the idea, but rarely have I seen it work out well. If you guys want a private board, just lmk when you decide.
I agree. I have seen too many FB groups implode and I don't want this board to loose traffic.

Im ok with whatever the majority chooses! I'm on mobile a lot so for that reason fb would be easier. I also don't want to vote for something that excludes others because I think we have a great board!
I sent a few friend requests I recognized on my "suggested" list after adding others. Not stalking, I swear
Same here. So if you get a request from someone with a profile pic of a redhead and a Korean guy, that's me
That's how I figured it was you, red head and Korean guy hey I bet that's nimfalen! Lol. Also your H looks familiar. Then again all Koreans look alike but still.
I don't think I post often enough to be counted as a regular but I love reading the advice on this board and would hate for it to get less active! I would be open to Facebook too, but again not sure if I'm "regular" enough.
Like ppl have said about others who thought they weren't 'regs', I easily recognized your name. :-)
+1 for whatever majority wants. I don't post pics of LO on FB per DH request (I don't post pics of him either...he's very anti-social media), so I like keeping the forum active here too. But a private FB group sounds good to me.
I'm not sure how you all are finding each other on Facebook so easily even with the people you may know function. I guess I suck at social media. But my biggest issue... you have real names?! Weird... :-p

Edit because I also suck at typing
I added a few people then a ton more showed up in the people you may know and the mutual friends were the people I originally added.

Am I a regular?
Haha I kid.
I recognize everyone who posted they weren't sure. That said, I prefer to stay on here a while longer. I don't post many pics on here, or personal info so FB is a big leap for me right now. I held off joining the FB group of my last BMB until when the board died down and it was just a few left. I am having a great experience on the smaller FB but there was plenty of drama both on board and off before I joined.
I'm am currently without a computer and am on mobile, which is really a pain (one of the reasons I haven't been on here very much lately), so for that reason I would be open to a FB group. I also wouldn't mind adding bmb members as friends on there as well. But I totally get some people's hesitation with that.
How are you finding each other on fb? I have so much trouble jeeping track on here since N was born and have been on a break. Tapatalk doesnt do notifications since june and jve gotten really shitty at typing one handed. But im game for whatever anyone decides!

I'm mobile so I find it difficult to get on here and catch up much anymore. However I seem to be able to facey page during feedings etc. I vote to keep it the same or have a FB group that is eventually a closed group. It would be so much easier. Then should we want to individually add friends who have full access to our FB page we can. I tend to have a unless I know you IRL I don't allow you on my facey page. BC work and special needs kiddo. Hello a holes and exploitation opportunists.

To go off what piedpiper07 said, you may not recognize me from my fb picture. So if you're looking, it's a picture of me and my husband and our 2 boxer dogs(one big white guy and a smaller black girl), I have very long hair in the picture.... Technically they're dreadlocks but I'm not sure you can tell that at first glance.

The dreads totally threw me off haha. Although I still recognized you just couldn't place it at first.
lol, story of my life. If I change my hair it throws people off.... And I'm forever changing my hair. Man I miss my dreads!!

I am confused, I have a hard time keeping up. What is the merge or fb group people are taking about. I am all for whatever is going on. Stay here, go there, do both...

Late to the party but im fine with facebook. I like the group idea. I do this with family to share pics of our LOs and with work friends im close to. Have you all just been friend-ing each other or has a group been started?
