Moving The Group! Clicky Poll

orbmaker

I really haven’t been too active because toddler and limited phone time, but FB is a lot easier for me (active on another BMB there already). I’d like to join, but understand if people want to keep it close knit with those who are already invested. Either way, I can offer a few tips...

— you don’t have to be “friends” with an admin (or anyone) to join a secret group. If you have a private FB page, no one on the bmb will know your personal FB “news” and vice versa

— we verified folks during the transition by having them DM (to an admin) and/or posting a photo of themselves holding a piece of paper with their bump username written on it 

— one rule to consider is prohibiting MLMs and fundraising on the board itself

@chichiphin I'd be happy to join a TB private group! I'm active in another one already, so I won't be leaving this platform anytime soon.

@orbmaker I’m not sure how people can join if they aren’t friends since it isn’t searchable when secret but if you know then please let us know. Otherwise PM @miss.sally or @mrsvp614 or myself to get added. What I’ve been telling people is it’s up to them if they want to stay friends after they’ve been invited to the group. No hard feelings if anyone wants to unfriend me after they’ve been added, it’s just the easiest way I know. 

We do have a rules post and it does say no MLMs/fundraising. Not everyone has a problem with people selling stuff so I think the way we’ll handle it is if it’s casually mentioned then people can seek out those sellers if they want but no constant posting about what you sell or giving out links unless it’s a private thing among people who are interested.

sooo Ima start a private group on here then for March & please let me know on here if you'd like an invite. 

Edit to say - if you're some rando that asks to come, I prob won't extend the invite

EmilyLove25

lemonlove86

same here @chichiphin!

stassischroeder

@chichiphin ya know, I have no idea how to start a group either! On the groups page it says to email [email protected] "with a suggestion for a new group you'd like to manage." I'm not sure if there's any way around that?

mrsc918

I’m in @chichiphin!

Malidocious

I would love an invite to the bump group- I am admittedly more of a dirty lurker but try to participate when I feel like I have something of value to share

momoftoddlers

@chichiphin Count me in please. Thanks for setting it up.

mommyxthree2020

Please invite me! I’m so lonely over here! 😂

varimama

@mommyxthree2020 invite to private bump group or fb? If fb send me a PM! 

Malidocious

@mommyxthree2020 I don't think the private bump is up yet.  Or if it is, I don't know about it lol!   

puppylove8910

It's not up yet! @mommyxthree2020 @Malidocious

chichiphin

Ha the tech person who emailed me clearly wasn't aware that they took away the button to create a new group and they replaced it with a sentence to email the help desk... so we are working on it!!

caity_rose7

Im new here but I'd love to be in a fb group for march 2020. switching over from the babycenter 

varimama

@caity_rose7 I’m sorry but unfortunately the Facebook group is only for established/active  members of the birth month club. We want to protect everyone’s privacy and safety as best as possible. Wishing you a happy and healthy end to this journey! 

caity_rose7

I hope it can be reconsidered in a month!

AAAG13

Hi everyone! I haven’t been able to participate, love it or reply for almost over a month. I had to log in and reload 5 times just to get to this point (🤞🏻This posts). I would love to join the Facebook group to catch up with everyone if it’s possible. We did that with my first bmb and it has been much easier to keep up and participate. Hope everyone is feeling well and doing good! Sorry the bump gods have kept me from keeping up 😭

vrstrawn

@miss.sally  I sent you a pm for the FB group!
