Who plans to stick around?

  It's just interesting to see that some boards like Jan 15 have been able to carry on business as usual, while others have been completely gutted.
  
  I still lurk here occasionally just to see if any life had returned to the place, but have mainly returned to my original Bmb's facebook group.

  Just my .02$ here, and i know many may not agree which is fine, but I just kind of hope people quit bringing up what happened...it is what it is and it's over. Regardless of what the bump did, right or wrong, its been done and thats it. If it angers you thats fine (and understandable), but lets just move on already. But it seems like it keeps resurfacing with people trying to stir the pot. And all these "noob" questions that surfaced over the past couple days are more than likely the result of bitter people messing around...not true noobs coming out of the woodwork.

  
  

  
  
  
  And this is where I would usually insert a STFU or GTFO gif...

  
  

  Wanna know why F15 seems so hard hit? Because most of us have been on Tk, TN, TB for years. We didn't just pop up on a BMB when we got pregnant. We started on TTC, spent time on the loss board, gone to TTCAL, been on Parenting etc... We have real IRL bonds with these people. Not everyone is just internet strangers, and even the ones that are you still have a bond and connection from talking with them about so many areas of your life, on a daily basis. Lurkers and semi lurkers don't get that. Imagine for a second losing all your coolest closest friends and family out of no where one day. It's not so easy to just "let it go" and move on. 

  
  

  I for one don't want to build a community with part time bumpers. People who just peek in and out on occasion or when they have something to ask, aren't what we are used to. And if that's you, great stay here. Please don't bring that to PB. 

  
  
  Agreed. I've always been more of a lurker, but have taken comfort in the regulars here. My husband and I just moved cross country, don't know anyone in our new location, and this forum WAS a familiarity for me; somewhere I could go and see all the same faces and delight in the conversation. I feel so lonely now that it's all changed. I will miss you ladies.

  I'll probably only stick around until DS arrives. I don't want to switch to a different board and I could probably do with spending less time online anyway:/

  I joined in June 2014 and read almost every thread. It's my first pregnancy and it's been really normal, so I didn't really feel like I had much to add. I have to admit that within the last month or so I've been really disappointed that I didn't actively participate until now. I may stick around if the "am I going into labor" and "is this my mucus plug" posts start to fizzle out. I'm hoping that a lot of the drive-by posters don't scare the longtime community members away.

  WOW, I have no clue what is going on but it seems really bad. I have missed all of you, this was one of the best boards I have ever been on. When  my son was born and then passed away soon after you ladies were all so supportive. I came on today to see all the babies that have been born since and to congratulate you all until i noticed that there was no longer an announcement board.

  
  

  For all you ladies that helped me through one of the toughest time of my life i want to wish you all safe and healthy deliveries. I'm so sorry this board has seemed to fall apart but know that i think of you all and have prayed for you as well.
