Anyone still lurk the other place?

[MoreThanSparrows]

I'm wondering if I am the only one who still lurks a few boards at the other place.

It seems like most boards are still able to function, just at a slower pace than before, but the TTCAL  board is practically dead. I understand why everyone left, but my heart breaks when I see so many posts go without response. As someone who was once completely lost and dumbfounded after my miscarriage, I can't imagine going to a forum for support and not finding any, especially if I had been part of my BMB prior to my loss. 

Is there some way to redirect them here for support, rather than leaving them stranded and alone in that wasteland of hurt and confusion? Is someone already doing that?

Also you should read the new TOU, it's pretty crappy and I didn't want to delete mine but I'm having second thoughts now

I still lurk, but it's mostly out if habit. The Loss board still has about the same activity, but that was always a slower board. I can't bring myself to delete my acct. So much of my post history is tied to Izzie and I just can't handle deleting it right now. I really hope the new ladies seeking support are able to find it.

Can you get me a list of profiles (with the URL) of people who need PMs to be directed over here? I have a few people who still have accounts and who can send PMs to redirect people.

TheDump is censoring a lot of messages, so to get around that you may want to type the URL out as follows (or use the following message as a whole)

"A lot of people are no longer posting here. You can find us at: Goo*dby*eCB (DOT) pro*boa*rds (DOT) com

Note- remove the asterisks and change the (DOT) to a period

Hope to see you there"

If I wasn't IP banned at work and at home I'd bring people over myself....

I still lurk and will have the link in my siggy! I'll go and try to do some damage! Let me know if there's anything in particular you guys want me to do!

[pamcakes]

I still sort of lurk....out of habit too. My account is still active so I can try to redirct people over here too.

I lurk and have the same feelings. I hate watching people intro and not seeing them get support. Or worse, get bad advice. There was a TTCAL thread with people almost saying it's okay to try for a baby before you've been cleared by Dr. And no one was flaming them for that... Oof.

But the new TOU and if you read the responses on the BUMPHQ board from the admins... I just don't feel comfortable over there anymore.

ETA: @nariadreaming   I cannot believe you've been IP banned home and at work.  I heard about it happening but in this moment, I just really, really don't understand it.

I lurk occasionally and it breaks my heart too to see the posts without responses. TTCAL was the place I went when I felt like my world was crashing in. I can't imagine if I went there and didn't meet this amazing group of ladies. I hope they find their way here.

TTCAL is dead, as is IF, Parenting, and lots of the boards I spent time on. The new BMBs are cray-cray. It's all puppies and rainbows and weird shit. It's turned into Baby Gaga. Puke.

I've still got my account there and lurk on the N14 board, and can alway create an alt. at my parents if need be. I have no intention on deleting my account any time soon, not that I'm holding out for a better bump, 'cause that ship has sailed. I plan on trying to help direct people over here. I figure that there are enough of us here that we can move in waves, as more people get banned, more can step up and take there place. I'm was never active on th TTCAL as I joined TB after I got KU, but I will start keeping an eye on that board as I would hate for those who need help to feel alone.

Did Carseat make it over?

[carseat]

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

[happyin14]

I was just lurking and mlal's new format thread on TTCAL is PAINFUL. I know it's a business... I get that. But cripes.

It's NCC/Encchanted, by the way.

Haha, love the new name!

It's much easier to board hop over here. And I'm finally taggable!

[doglover31]

It makes me so sad that TTCAL isn't what it used to be. Being there helped me through a lot of tough times. I spent over a year on it and I don't know what I would have done without those ladies. And I got so much good advice from them. Hopefully more people will make their way over here!

Hey you!!!! We're getting the band back together. Who else are we missing? Is Petra here hiding with a new name?

Hi there!! I've been wondering how you are doing!! So glad you made it over!

[carseat]

I'm just running out to meet my MIL for lunch, but I'll come catch up with you fine ladies later!

I took a major bump break for a few months (stupid off board drama + insanely busy work schedule + twins are a lot of work), but life is calmed down a tiny bit for the time being, so I'm trying to catch up.

[birch113]

I lurk occasionally. It's so sad to see what has happened. I don't know what I would have done without TTCAL, and it breaks my heart to know others will have to get through their loss(es) without it. I haven't deleted my account yet. I'm happy to do some redirecting damage, too.

[dragonfly1809]

I've been lurking .. I'm still trying to figure this all out. I'm a noob all over - still have my account there for private messages. I'm hoping to find all the wonderful PGAL ladies who've helped me so much this past year.
I feel so lost over here. :S

[lindsayanne14]

I lurk around, but mainly the whole TB site makes me both sad and disgusted. I feel so bad for loss ladies that will never have the support I was so lucky to get on TTCAL and PGAL.
