I know, I have noticed the same thing... our board used to be crazy busy and now there's only 4-5 posts a day... if that! I'd say facebook is the culprit... that's even where I check first now!

Yep, I think a lot of people post on FB now. I do check FB a lot but it is so hard to follow some of the posts since people are constantly posting on there.

Sigh. Well, I guess that's pretty much bye, bye board for me. I don't really have an interest in joining an off shoot
I'm going to be sticking with the board. I don't like how much personal info FB shares. I've always enjoyed your posts. You have been a very valuable BF resource for me. I hope you stick around a little longer.
It is hard to follow - I know I don't post a lot, and when I do get a chance to check in, I have to go so far down the page to where I left off. I don't keep FB open all day while I'm at work, I have too much stuff to do, it would be a huge distraction. I do like reading everyone's posts though and contribute when I can!
I hope people come back/start posting here more. FB is blocked on my work computer so this is my only distraction when I need a break...and it's no fun coming on here when nothing is changing!!

I'm an equal opportunity poster. It does seem like some of the posts on here the past few days have been duplicates, or questions I have already contibuted to.

I'm trying to be equal as well. FB is just so much easier when you're on a smart phone. There are lots of double posts. I wouldn't mind keeping FB for chit chat and pics and use TB for our baby talk.
I like the board, but lately I've been getting errors when I try to load it at least as often as it loads properly. And then when it does load, it's usually on my phone, which is really hard to post from!

Ditto. TB has been sooooo slooooow the past few weeks, and a lot of times I'm directed to TK when I try to open a post or reply. After 5-6 times of that, I usually give up for the day. I don't want to read a post THAT bad.
Please don't leave this board ladies! FB is nice but it is hard to follow posts. I really enjoy coming here and reading/contributing to the different posts.

I've been having trouble getting TB to load or to post my replies. I don't get much time on my computer, so when it starts misbehaving I get back and do other things while I have a few minutes.

This. I'm am not at all interested in a bunch of internet strangers knowing my real name. Maybe the board will pick back up once people get sick of the FB format...
Yep, since I went back to work it's hard for me to get on here! I am part of the FB group but barely go on there either. Between work, family, bottle making, cleaning, etc., I have no time to sleep much less Bump!

I'm posting in both places as well and I really do prefer the format of The Bump. Wish they had an app for it (I'm a bit addicted to them since getting an i-phone on the weekend lol).
I like the FB group, it's tricky to catch up and I miss A LOT oh and it gives me a headache but it' easie for me to check fb more frequently, but I have to say there's a nostalgic feeling on TB and it's making me really sad that it's rarely used anymore

Ok makes sense. I was part of the groups but like you said too many posts. It was too much to keep up with. Y'all Come back!!!
Ditto. I promise to try to post more. I mostly lurk because if someone has already replied with similar advice/ answers I'd give I don't post it.
I know I haven't been posting as much, just due to life being crazy. I am on FB, but I only write on there because it is so easy to do on my phone.
It has gotten boring around here, but I plan on sticking around on both!
