Damn. I'm gonna have to try harder.

That's why an established set of guidelines will help determine who will get invited.
I see quite a few coming out that claim to lurk frequently and rarely post. If you post enough to be recognizable, that is one thing. If you mostly lurk and don't post, chances are we won't recognize you and won't invite you to the group.

On my last BMB there was a mass exodus when pretty much all the regulars moved over to FB. But the BMB actually stayed fairly busy for quite a while.

edit: quote box fail!I feel like a bunch of people said this or quoted my response because I said it first. Sorry to help bring people out of the woodwork! I just wanted to say that if you're concerned about people not recognizing you then you probably shouldn't ask to join the fb group!
As I said, I would like to join a fb group because it would be smaller (it's hard to keep track if everyone especially since I'm mobile and can't see siggies). However, since I don't consider myself a super active member, I'm sure others don't either!

We are working out the kinks -- requirements to join, etiquette rules, etc. right now. Once these have been decided, they will be shared on a new thread. We will hopefully have this done within the next day or so.
In the meantime, refer to @JunkieBrewster's link to request an invitation.
ETA: We are considering all the suggestions that were made here for requirements, rules, etc. as well. We want the lists to be fair and reasonable.

It's a small addiction now.
Baby 2: EDD: 8/06/14 CP: 11/13
I'm on the fence. I'd be willing to make a second FB account or even changing my current FB to a slightly different name.
I want to comment on a few things. I think that people who are saying "we started with 500 and within 4 days it was down to 200" Um...why did those 300 other people even need to be on there in the first place. That's 300 random, possibly really creepy creepers that now were granted to some personal information of yours, just to bounce out in 4 days. No thank you.
For lurkers that are now saying "I lurk but don't post unless my comment is helpful" That's the point. A FB page gets rid of all the "lurkers" and only has people that are actually going to contribute to a conversation. Helpful or not. A FB page would be stupid with just tons of people lurking and not commenting...that would bring us back to TB.
I think a cut off date is ok...but I think it should be elaborated on. I personally feel that it should be opened for joining here soon (whenever you get it set up), then shut down for requests for the next 2 months. There are a lot of ladies on here that have already said they would feel more comfortable later on, after a little more time GTKY, rather than this "one time open door" option. This would also give a little time for new people that might join, make a really great impression, have lots of people like them and then be denied the FB just because they weren't on the board 4 months before they had their baby. Just a thought. And it will give time to those that aren't 100% sure they want to do it a little more time to get comfortable with the idea rather than having to make a quick, knee jerk choice that they may regret later on down the road.
Of course they would be subject to the same criteria we all had from the beginning. Unless it was even more strict which would be fine.
