Why is everyone so sad? It's not like any of us got banned. Lately, this board has been so calm and we pretty much always play nice. The new TOU is a bit exaggerated for sure but I don't think it's any reason to leave.
All I'm saying is that I still post here because you ladies have always been very supportive and helpful. Id like to stay and keep on keeping on.

What i will say though is that if mods were banned simply because they disagreed with the new TOU then that's wrong. A lot of this IS horse shit but can we just stick together and keep doing our thing?
Also, we're still going to be snarky.... Thats what our UO and FFFC threads are for. cheesecake anyone?

There is a local restaurant that does a lot of vegan and gluten free options and they have the most amazing vegan carrot cake. Your dairy free aren't you? Not to rub salt in a wound.
You would never guess that this carrot cake is vegan. I actually prefer it to the regular because it is more moist. Even the frosting has a slight cream cheese flavor. Great, now I have to go there today and get dessert.
Now I want carrot cake for breakfast. We went to a restaurant on Sunday that had this cake called Banana Dream cake...think light banana flavor with chocolate and walnuts. It was amazing.
I see we have reached the "dessert portion" of this thread, so the discussion is just about closed, but I just got caught up and wanted to say. Please don't go to this "other place" I love you all and I'm way too much of a forum/blogging idiot to figure out a new place! I don't even facebook!!!
Probably a UO but I kind of understand where the new rules are coming from. Some of the more popular and easier to find boards (ie trimester boards and parenting) were getting a little harsh for newbies looking for a place to chat. I think boards like that need to be moderated a little differently than say BMB's that develop their own culture. I just don't think it is fair that people posting on say the First Trimester board are getting flamed for asking repetitive or "stupid" questions by regulars; newbies need a "safe" place to learn the ropes and once comfortable they can venture out and find a board that better fits their personality (not here...LOL).

Always with the cake! Only 22 more days and I can have some.
Sorry I made that slow cooker chicken again last night for dinner. H ate all the chicken so today I feel like I need to make it again. I might drink the gravy for breakfast. Better?

Because a lot of awesome people got banned for no reason other than they didn't agree with the new regime? Are you good with @LoisLayn getting banned? Because she did. It's not the TOU that is causing people to leave, it's the extreme and unjust bannings.
Sorry, I know I don't go here as much anymore, but bigger picture.
---quote fail---
Did I say I was good with @loislayn getting banned? No, I did not. I even said it wasn't right that all those mods got banned for unjust reasons.
But IMO our A'14 community is the bigger picture. We don't like the new rules either (for most part I believe) and I'm sure we can all agree that what went down sucked big time but if we're going to continue posting here then we ought to move on and stay awesome like we always have.

@zoegirlTX I have no idea what a nesticle is, but it sounds terrifying. And nice to see you post, I'd wondered if your most frequent contributor award scared you off!
I understand, but it doesn't piss me off any less (the situation, not you). I just can't fathom the rationale in pulling down one of the highest trafficked board on TB. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's frustrating. I do like our BMB, but I'm just not so sure I can stick around a board that cuts off its nose to spite its face.
I get you, I really do.
I honestly still don't understand wtf happened either. It did come out of left field. Like BOOM.

This is where I am at. Obviously, parenting was targeted. I could deal with rule changes but the way they went about banning was ridiculous. Also, BM is choosing not to respond to PMs even though we know she is around.
Holy crap! What happened around here? I get behind on my bumping and all hell breaks loose! I know I'm not a frequent poster, but i really appreciate you ladies! I'm glad to see some of you are stil here. can someone pm me a link to the other place too? I'm mobile, so i won't get it until tonight. Not sure if I'll be able to keep up with 2 boards, but I love the A14 community!
Eta - spelling and in 29 days, bring on all the cheesecake and carrot cake!
@mfsunshine222 I'm guessing so. If I could make myself stay away from TB I would for a while, but I like you ladies too much. Not worth leaving when I enjoy the conversations on here.
Re: @Pink021
Will someone pm what the new place is?

The word moist makes me cringe.
Also I'll still be hanging around too. Just sucks the vibe of the place has changed already. We'll see what happens though!
FALSE

@Pink021 I would like to point out that you are the moderator for A'14. We eat cake all day every day. Don't make us de-mod you.
