Anybody else feel...
that this board is dying a slow death?
Re: Anybody else feel...
This...and I have a theory....
Agreed.
what's your theory?
That some of the ladies on here hang out together outside of this board so coming on here may not be as important as it used to be? Just a theory....
good theory. And FB.
yes and FB.
Sucks work blocked it so I feel even more isolated and I have to catch up at home. Boo. Or is that a sign I am addicted to it????
I think FB has a lot to do with it.
I also wonder how active the Nor Cal Knot is. I don't feel like we're getting a really strong infusion like we used to. Makes me think that board isn't as active or social as it used to be.
I do. I don't think I've ever seen a phase this slow.
Yeah, I'm not sure if it's just another phase, but it's super slow.
I wish the nest wasn't such an obvious website to be on at work. The internet policy is very relaxed here, but I don't want anyone to see me reading/posting here that much. I try and check in when I know all my coworkers are really focused on whatever they are doing.
Tea Time for Lulu
I just popped on TN and the layout is VERY different...
Maybe b/c there are other wedding outlets other than TK...wedding bee comes to mind.
Well I hope it comes back to life...I don't post a ton, but I do make my presence known, but I enjoy reading posts and getting recipes, and feeling happy for people when they get good news, and feeling sad with people when they need a hug.

I am just so busy with school right now, and then trying to have a normal life outside of that. My class this semester aren't very interesting or don't translate well to words. I just finished a home work assignment where we had to go find an example of plain, twill, and satin weave, so exciting! In sewing the last thing we did was learn how to do a lapped zipper.
I'll have more time next week as I am on break and then sometime mid May when the semester is over.

Yeah I've noticed that too. I know the Nest has had some technical issues from time to time, but I still wonder why folks post there and not here...
Please just dive in! We are not cliquey here at all (as far as I'm concerned). We love new people

Interesting. I like it here b/c I'm anonymous! (pretty much)
I lurk and come out occasionally...
For me, it's probably that I'm FB friends with a majority of the ladies from the Nest (from the busier era), so I guess I feel pretty up to date with them. Of course, that doesn't work well for making new friends (which this board has been great for). So I should probably come over here more often. It's just hard when it's dead.
Also the general 'feeling' of the board has changed a lot. I was one of the 'like the silly' posts. When the phase of 'serious only' came through, I bit my tongue. No hard feelings or anything. Just adapting to the tide.
As for the FB group... I almost never post there, but if there's something I want to ask that I don't want the world seeing, I do feel safer posting on the FB group than here. As a whole, I'm attempting to withdraw my 'personal' life from the general www. At least there I know who is part of the group and who can see it. It's not like my random friend can stumble upon it.
The other theory is that while a lot of people had commonality through wedding planning (on the knot) and being a 'newlywed' and setting up house 'the nest' and having children 'the bump'. It's harder to keep things going when there isn't a theme or one common interest that keeps the group alive. (just over theorizing in an exhausted state)
