    Maybe the Goodreads board is a better option.

    I started a post - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/17406274-the-nbc-fallout-bunker

    Seems easy to use.

    I could totally be wrong, but I feel like I remember a few NBCers going to the PBs and bitching about how awful we are and how glad they were to escape us.  That was the end of my interest.
    I don't understand this.  WE ARE AWESOME!  Maybe, perhaps, it was because we don't start a bunch of drama....

    Oh yes @julie37619, I remember the Great Migration and the NBC Bitchfest that occurred afterward. I was happy to be rid of so many whiny bad apples.

    I can't stand the PBs. I find that a lot of people there are people who like to stir up shizz  for no reason.

    Why can't we just set up out own space on pb? Why would we have to use theirs?

    You have to pay to have a Proboards page that's not covered in ads.

    I'll check it out at home tonight. What boards would you want? A general one definitely. Genre specific? Regional?

    And if you guys think it's fair, I can set Jacki up as one of the admins there too.

    I'll do whatever you guys want in terms of design, but I also don't want to be the sole admin/moderator/whatever on it, which is why I suggested Jacki.

    Is PB like our extra case of water in the garage in case there's an earthquake? Or are we bailing before the disaster strikes?

    I say we are just hedging our bets. It's like a worst case scenario board.

    I'm good with Jacki being an admin, if she wants.

    Ok. So I checked out our PB. Thanks so much @MrsJenE for setting that up! I changed my UN to just Brandy, btw. Looks okay to me. I didn't notice any more ads than we have on here, but I only spent about 5 minutes over there.

    So everyone just needs to bookmark the apocalypse site and if we show up here and they've deleted all the forums or something, we can reconvene there. Yes?

    I think it's a contingency plan in case they do away with the forums altogether.
