Just kidding. But all of the FB posts and the creation of a second/new October 2012 FB group got me wondering whether the posters on October 2012 are, for the most part, the same group of women who have been posting all year. Do more people post on FB and not on TB?! Since I am not in the FB group I can't speak to that, but it does seem to me that the group has gotten smaller and/or changed. WDYT? On a personal note I announced my BFP/have been on this board ever since I POAS

I was a regular poster on TTGP and TTTC, but have been posting in Oct '12 since my BFP. I plan to stick around, even if I do post on FB now, too
I've been wondering lately where some of our regulars have gone, too! There were tons of ladies who I really enjoyed who seem to have disappeared. I haven't seen them in a while, this was before the 2nd FB group got started.
This made me lol.
I've only really been posting on here for the past 4 months or so. I didn't bump much early on because being this is my third pregnancy I found a lot of the questions kind of "old" for me. I also never got into the "monthly" boards until this baby and am glad I did this time.
I think this FB group was started because sometimes its just easier from a mobile device. I joined because I figured I would be able to update from the hospital with pics a lot easier then on the bump. I'll definitly still be bumping as well though.
Forthe Pp that asked about joining the group, it says "closed" but o ly because that is the type of group, meaning only people that are members of the group can see your posts. Anyway, here is the link, you can click the button to request to be a member and we will approve you:

This for me too.
Yep, this is me too!

I've been posting plenty but I do get annoyed about not recognizing people, and the repetitive posts. Being a lurker and then coming around to announce the sex of your baby, the results of your GD test, and now the birth is going to annoy me.
It seems like these kind of lurker posts tend to come in waves, IMO. I just skip right past them on the main page.

I totally agree with you!
I made rachelmichelle1 my bitch.
I think not having a FB account means you're winning.
I've been on this board since I think 6 weeks in I was never able to get into the 1st facebook group, but I just joined the other one when it was formed. (I can't post pics or whatever from my phone so that's what I'm using the FB group for- plus the mobile TB site is annoying.)
However, the lurker posts annoy me too- Why would you wait until 8 months to introduce yourself when generally after 12 weeks your less likely to have to announce a loss? Especially if you're just going to post your GBS results or something. I do feel like I know some of you almost personally just from reading various posts and the lurkers are kind of just there- it's hard to get excited for people who've never made their presence known til now.
It does seem like some people are missing- I wanted to ask about a couple of people, but I was scared if I did I'd find out that they had announced a loss a few months ago and I'd missed the post and then I'd just feel awful.
I'm not leaving TB for the same reason. I don't like a lot of personal information out there, TB keeps it fairly private unless I disclose the information.
I agree...Could be because I also don't have a FB account
