It's that time of year again

When I wonder if I should keep doing the BOTB.  I switched it over to this board, with little fanfare and no complaints on the Nest.  Is it worthwhile to have here?  Has everyone already answered the same questions over and over and are burnt on it, or are there enough new bellies and babies to find it useful?

     I personally don't find it useful, but wonder if our new moms or first time pg gals do?

    T, thank you for doing it for sooooo long! It is just one of the many reasons you are amazing!

    ETA: It was very helpful while trying, and pg. I don't want to sound like was never helpful, just not helpful now that DS is 3 and we aren't having any more.

    I loved it when I was pregnant.  I looked forward to it every week, responded every week, and loved reading the other answers.  After Haley was a few months old, I realized that I had answered the same questions multiple times and wasn't really gaining anything from others' answers, so I stopped responding.  

    I realize it's probably a headache to keep up and I don't know how much traffic it's getting these days, but there's my feedback.  Thank you for doing it!

    As someone TTC, I look forward to reading the wealth of info and responding every week. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting past only the TTC question soon:/ I also know I'm in the minority here though. Thanks for keeping up with the post for so long!

    I liked it while I was pregnant and for the first month of DD's life. Maybe you could post it once a month so it doesn't seem so redundant.

    I still don't know what it is and I didn't know enough to participate when I was pg with #2 (I wasn't around here much with #1).

    If there are a set of questions that come up over and over, maybe we can post it once and have everyone answer, and then keep a master Q&A in the BOTB bio?

    You're a rockstar for keeping it up this long.  I don't know that we have the new blood that really needs it anymore.  After managing it for a year, I didn't end up using it while I was pg.

    There are actually 6 months worth of (non-redundant) weekly questions in 6 categories.  Since I've been doing it for several years, we have seen them repeat :)

    When I started it, I began making a master list of answers, but it was a huge undertaking at the time, since we had 15-20 people answering each week.  I don't think anyone uses the bios anymore, so I don't know that anyone would ever seek out a master list.
