new board....didja know?

BNOTB...babies not on the brain

why don't they just make a general board?  I'm not bitching at all, but bnotb seems like a general board to talk on.

Re: new board....didja know?

  • When I hit the drop down box I count 24 boards about babies/parenting and the family board tends to only count those with children as families.

    Not everyone on the 'net is a breeder.
    Perhaps those of us who cannot have/do not want/ are not ready for babies  would like to log on and discuss things not related to babies or even how sick and tired we are of seeing pee sticks in sigs and having to see how often someone is f*%^*ng their husband in their ticker.
  • juju...I'm not complaining.  I just found the title of it weird.

    Why is it weird?
    why does it have to be a general board? a general board is one where all topics are open including BOTB type threads.
     Why do you find it weird that someone would want to go to a board that  specifically Excluded  BOTB type topics?


    Lets take Babies out of the equation.

    Suppose there were the following boards on a site

    First time home buyers
    Financing your first house.
    Condo owners
    Moving up to a bigger house
    Remodeling your bathroom
    Remodeling your kitchen
    Landscaping for lots larger that .5 acres
    Landscaping for lots smaller than .5 acres
    Second mortgage help
    Homeowner insurance nightmares.


    And then they open a board that is titled

    Renters Forever.

    Would you think it "WEIRD" that someone who was not going to buy a home would want a board to discuss living a life that did not include home-ownership?
    Or do you assume that because you are a homeowner that anyone who does not want to be a homeowner is "weird"



  • I just thought it was funny because the name BNOTB reminded me of when the New Kids on the Block changed their name to NKOTB.

  • I agree with you Mrs. Saxy. I thought it was pretty odd too for just another general discussion board. Seems like Married Life would cover it.

  • I think its a great idea for a board. It could be a sounding forum for those who don't want kids or can't have them for what ever reason who are tired of people always asking, "So when are you all getting pregnant??" Or to escape the majority of the forums which tend to be BOTB donminated. It may turn out to be just a general chatting board, but truthfully I think the name is hysterical! ;-)
