I love how everyone has all these demands on what the new board should include. Picky picky! I think regardless of appearance, security should be the focus--the ability to make the board private and block naughty users IP addresses so they can't come back with other AEs.
I feel like the kid who is scared to go to the amusement park, but doesn't want to be left behind.
I had a bit of a bad experience with the original MEMO, so I'm wary. It became a lot of swearing and being kind of mean, IMO. You also had to post so many posts and then ask mother-may-I to get in and people had to wait for a long time to be let in, if at all.
MeMo1 was...special lol. MeMo2 is way better but I agree that MeMo1 had a lot of issues (I ended up deleting my account before it imploded for this reason). There always has to be a first to do anything, right? A lot of boards have spun-off since then and they've learned from those issues to improve. All that to say is you better hop on board!
Meh, you know I'm way too addicted to the bump to not want to follow you guys over....lol. I'd be lonely here without you.
Can it be called something, I dunno, not lame? The whole MeMo thing annoys me - I mean really - "Mean Mommies?" I'm not asking for puppies and rainbows here, but c'mon. Just a more benign title.
:in singsony voice: Someone's bitter.
Uh, yes, really. The title Mean Mommies is a joke. I believe someone on the Bump called some of the ladies who went that at one point in time.

TB is busy gathering more advertisers, probably to keep the site profitable. Looks like they don't care about the people who actually create the traffic that attracts those advertisers, huh?
Three cheers for AE porn!! (sarcasm obviously)
You are SO WEIRD-I thought you were taking a bumpcation???
Pot, meet kettle.
Katie-I really like you and I'm not sure why you think I'm weird. I am barely ever here and I like to stay out of all the drama (although I do lurk so I can keep up).
Seriously? You want to do this? Let it go. You and I both know what the story is. As do others. Don't make me go there.
Oh, I would definitely join an inclusive off board. I can barely even stand getting on here anymore with all the AEs and trolls, but I *need* the support.
I would want in- but I'm a lurker, don't have time to post uaually and all but I love the layout of this board and some of the real questions/light jabs keep me entertained but the BSC posters took it in the wrong direction for sure.
I'd join even though I mainly lurk and respond to posts here and there. I've been on the bump for a while and would be bored without having somewhere to go. Lately with all the AE craziness I've really backed off and almost quit it completely.

I'd be in providing it wasn't some popularity contest that you had to know a certain amount of people who had to vote you in. That just makes people feel like they're in highschool again waiting to get picked for the dodgeball team.
I love that you plan to let everyone in. I've been a regular lurker since 1st tri but don't feel comfortable posting in such a huge community plus with all the sh!t going on (can you blame us lurkers hah) I hope I can come out of lurking on an off board
Oh dear Lord, your child is too frikin cute.
On another note, I am a total lurker most of the time as well. I am so over the AE's I'm all for an off board!
I am not *quite* here yet. But I have been posting I would love to join the off board if that's ok, even though I don't know any of you. Every time I moved up a board and try to get to know you guys, everyone on the board I moved to moved up as well (early) because of other people from my board moving up. (does that make any sense? LOL)

Yay! cant wait!
I'd love an invite.
Not sure how often I'll post, but I've been with you ladies for so long that I need a place to come to if need be. lol
I'm thinking that anything free is going to have ads though, and might not be able to take the traffic the Bump gets?
I am going to host it on web space I already have. I think I have enough bandwidth/allowed connections for it to be okay - we will find out!
Hey Grins and Mav!!!
Kit, if your off board is open to all, don't bother with all the PMs, just post the link here.
