    Ditto!  This used to be my online home.  Now I only check in and respond to posts I'm interested in.  I barely even start posts anymore.  It kinda breaks my itty bitty heart.

    I think it will come around again.  But yeah, my heart's not in it right now after that crappity crap!

    I wonder if the girls on that other private board are laughing at us.  SNORT!!!

    I'm sure they are laughing at us. But, that was kind of my point. Everyone swore up and down that they'd still post here. Then it was that they posted more on the other board, but still checked in here. Now it's just crickets, except for the people responding here and the few that have posted in the last week.

    I just always wonder if people are really posting tons of private info on that board that couldn't be here in "public," or if it's stuff that could be posted here and contains no super private info, but they post it on the private board only anyway.

    Amy, I can't tell if you realize, but the private board I was referring to (the one I wondered that's laughing at us) is NOT the one that was just formed.  I want to make that clear.  A private board was formed a few years back and we kinda battled with them on here for about a week, it was a melee!!  They went on and on about how a private board was better because of...well...the type of sh!t that ended up happening on here.  That's why I wondered if they're now laughing at us because we ended up starting a private board after all.

    The whole thing that got this started with the new private board wasn't even over super private info anyway.  That's not why the new board was started, so we could all post our addresses and blood type and sh!t.   It was so we felt secure with who was reading out posts, and so that we could vent, cry, b!tch, etc. about things in our lives without fear of whack jobs taking advantage of it.

  • I knew the board you were talking about Pam-alama =)

    I started being very selective about my posting after things I said were thrown back at me as passive aggressively as possible. I even ended up with a new sn b/c of it.

    I know that you all are referring to the former knotties' break-off board, and the drama that re-surfaced after a fleeting topic of conversation at a GTG. But, to be perfectly honest, the new google group is not all that different from that private board, when it boils down to it. I'm just sayin'...

    Love you all bunches, but tell me I'm wrong.

  • I don't post a ton on the new board wither...I think it's a couple of things for me...It's the summer, so I am hanging out with my kiddos more and not on the computer as much...I know for me, the privacy issues that came up previously and caused us to revisit the private board/group idea, was just a reminder for me to watch what I say/put out here. We were all so close and friendly ,for the most part, you, or I at least, tended to forget anyone could read this. Oh well!

    I will try to make a more of an effort to post in both places! And now that I changed the way I view the other board, I do like it a little better so will probably on there more too...

  • Alicia, don't forget, they started that board for a whole different reason. They didn't want to just talk about babies and cooking, and something about getting away from vendors. This new group was formed over a breach of security, if you will. So IMO, for what it's worth, it is kinda different. Like Elisabeth said though, it has just made me simply more aware of what I'll post here as opposed to the new board.

  • I've always been more of a responder than a starter when it comes to posting.  I think I'll try harder. 

    I guess I'm more comfortable with the familiar, and The Nest is easier for me to use and look at! I like color and signature pictures and all that.  :)

    I didn't post much when I was home on bedrest or with the new baby, but I feel like myself again and am on the computer much more when I'm working!

  • I tend to lurk more then post anyways. I respond a little more then post myself. I joined the other board but havent really been on it at all. I might actually be "off" now due to inactivity.
