This board is dead.
Re: This board is dead.
Today's appointment is over (fun walking around wearing boots and carrying an umbrella... and trying to keep Shannon holding her umbrella properly so she doesn't get soaked). I think I have 2 more this week... at least.
To answer your other questions, Amy... Yes, a vast majority of the "regular" Nesties have left the Nest (figuratively and literally). The new board is active, very active, at least right now. Some are still lurking, some are still occasionally posting. But those weekly posts like "Good Thoughts Tuesday" and "Open Letter Wednesday" and "YGIF" are being done on the new "private" board. I'm a member over there too, but honestly, having that new forum is making me post less with a group of people I've "known" for years, not more. I don't know exactly why. I could take a guess, but that's all it would be: a guess.
I've been part of the Knot/Nest/Bump for almost 10 years now, and this departure, or mass exodus if you will, has really kicked this board while it was already down. I've seen the board ebb and flow over the years, with some periods of extreme posting and lots of activity where it almost seemed like we were on a live chat message board, and other times when there have been crickets. This is a crickets moment. Whether the board will ever recover, despite girls "still posting here" is yet to be seen. But, I'm not ready to write up this community's eulogy quite yet. It does sadden me that some of the regulars, who have been on these boards with me for the past decade, have seemingly left this board all together. While I may be friends with them on FB, or still "see" them on the new group, I miss them in this environment.
Once my days get back to normal, I will try to post more. But, I don't want to share (even on the private board) exactly what is going on in my life right now. It's all good, but not quite public information.
You're allowed to have appointments and busy weeks
You're the vast majority of posts on here now already! (and I'm glad it's all good things going on.) I'm guilty of not posting enough, but I am still keeping odd hours and don't have much to talk about other than the little man.
I think maybe I'll just start trying to post more, about anything, just to get things going. Maybe people who used to just lurk will come out and play now, and while the board won't be the same, at least it won't be so slow. It's just sad to me to have seen the recipe/cookie club sort of disappear, and now all the other "regular" posts... with less going on, people won't check in as much, and it will only get worse before it gets any better. I hope I'm wrong, or that we can keep that from happening.
My thoughts exactly, Amy. I'm trying to figure out what I/we could do to keep things going over here, or if it is a fruitless effort. I don't want to give up on the girls (like yourself) who are still over here!
Pam, I don't know if the iPhone is like the Droids... if so, check to see if you have Java script enabled in your web browser settings. I had to disable Java in order to be able to post from my Droid. If you want, I can see if I can figure out a more iPhone specific answer for you though!
EDIT: I looked it up. Here were the two solutions I found:
Option #1 Seems like for the iPhone, you have to go into Settings, and then Safari, and turn off JavaScript.
Option #2 Or if you need the Java Script for other sites you frequent you could wait for the reply page to load then click the HTML button and type your reply in that window.
I've seen this advice given on the Gadgets and Technology board for iPhones and iPads, so I think it is the same as the Droid.
Believe it or not, I am still here. Dealing with a lot of personal stuff, and wicked busy with my boutique stuff. Trying to network with modeling companies and local shops so I've been super busy, on top of getting orders done.
I have not abandoned ship. I'm a member of the private board but I'm not actively posting over there right now either. And if I do post there, I post the same thing here too. I'm not quite ready to give up The Nest.
i still check both, im not posting much these days with the chaos that is my life!
i
I still check over here, just not as often. Personally, I like the set up of the private board better - less "fluff" to get in the way of reading the posts like pics, etc. ;-) And I like that it's not a public message board. Yes, it's still open to the members, but it's not completely public. Not that anyone even knows me that well, but for some reason I'm just more comfortable over there.
That said, I hadn't posted here in a while anyway for all sorts of reasons, and I think the privacy over there just makes me more comfortable - it can't be googled, know what I mean?
But I am sorry if it seems like a lot of us "jumped ship" - this board has been dead for a while with everyone so damn afraid of posting b/c of the various things that have happened that I think some of us are just more comfortable over there.
I promise to try to check more often - just been a crazy week with work and my normal nights tucked in bed with my laptop to catch up just haven't happened.

If by chance the Nestie who "ratted" Amy out is here...I hope you're fuckinghappy. The board was slow before like others have said, but that happens from time to time in here. We go through phases. That last incident was the final straw though. Even I...who normally isn't too worried about stuff like that and tends to air more of my dirty laundry on here than I should...was a little freaked out about that. Makes me wonder why some people feel the need to be complete c-bags!!
Now whomever you are...you deserve a good old fashioned t!t punching.
This exactly! I was so angry I had to jump ship. I am still here, but I will not post much about myself over here at all. Sucks. But I'm always happy to talk food ;-)

I'll be here more when I go back to work. Ha, isn't that sad?
I haven't been on the other board in a while, either.
Amy - coffee again tomorrow or next week?

Tomorrow sounds great (next week too, if you want!). I'll send you an email now in case you don't check here again...
