Figured I would get this conversation restarted since we've all been talking about TB's glitchiness... I know we've already discussed this in the great big question thread and it seems from
@monstera13's polls (thank you!!) that most of us want to move to FB and now-ish.
We haven't talked about
how to facilitate the move though...so creating this thread to start! I know a lot of y'all have been in previous BMBs so any ideas welcome! I've lurked other recent BMBs and they have all approached it a bit differently.
Re: Moving to a private group
The other thing my previous BMB did was try to avoid trolls so if it was someone we hadn't seen on here before we didn't let them in. I don't know how y'all would want to approach that because honestly I know a lot of people don't participate as much due to the actual glitchiness of TB, so it seems unfair to exclude them, but at the same time we don't want to put the group at risk.
Step 1. Private message one of the 5 admins with a picture of yourself. The picture MUST contain your face, your bump, and a piece of paper. On the paper, hand write your TB name, your real FB first name, your due date, and the actual date that you send us the picture. Make sure this is all legible. Please also include your FB associated email address in your PM.
****Complete Step 1 by Specified Date.****
Step 2. Be patient. The admins will create a list of women who PM them. Early next week, we will be ready to start sending FB invites to your email inbox. Anyone who isn't a regular (does not mean you have to be a serial poster) will be discussed and called to a vote by regulars who are added to the FB group. Please don't allow this to discourage you from submitting and being put up for a vote. The admins may have not interacted with you, but maybe a handful of other women have. We promise that this does not mean to be a popularity contest. Please understand that this serves to keep us all feeling as internet safe as possible.

@FishyMom I feel like it's not voting exactly... it's not about whether you like someone or want them in the group, it's just a way of saying 'oh yeah, I recognize you'

I’d be happy to volunteer if we needed more, but like someone said, we have a pretty small group and probably don’t need a ton of admins.

@FishyMom But from the other side, if you're on the more sporadic side of participating (which I am too), and you recognize someone, that says a lot, doesn't it?
Once we had the group we had a rule about posting that ended after awhile-that every once in awhile we'd purge people who weren't active anymore, and if people petitioned to rejoin we voted. We definitely don't do that anymore we have been together 4 years now, people participate/disappear as life allows/requires.
