Wait guys- why are some of the other forums locked down?

[scattered]

Can we do that?

[trizzie]

which ones are locked down?

[scattered]

I was just browsing the others, not on GBCN, and a lot of them required invites.

[HBirdie]

That would be cool...

[auroraloo]

Lol. We don't need to lock down this forum. Talk about perpetuating the non-inclusive image of SAHMs.

I agree.  Are you thinking it would be nice so that TB gods don't watch or what?  I gaurantee they are going to lose interest in us as soon as they realize we've moved on.  If we lock it down then we would miss the opportunity to meet new people and hear new opinions and let's be honest, we can't always have KC and AG going at it around here.  

[quesyrah]

HBirdie that is one of my favorite episodes!

[olivegoose]

I like new people. If we wanted to be exclusive we should have made a FB group

[katemw]

We're not exactly begging for new members by coming here, who cares what we look like?

[scattered]

It was just a question people. It'd be nice to not have random attacks from mod trolls.

But okay.

I kind of like the idea of a closed forum like I started on the bump. It's nice for the members who are not comfortable sharing pictures of their family on an open public Forum. I wouldn't want to all migrate there exclusively because it's nice having new posters at times but I'd like both.

[scattered]

It's like a happy medium to facebook. IMO

I like this idea. I'm in a fb group (set to secret) with my bmb and I joined because I didn't want to stay behind when the whole group left. I know a lot of people are uncomfortable with having their "real" identity out there so a secret/private forum is a good compromise.

[katemw]

The thing I miss about the bump is the secret groups

We could still use that.

[cna]

I also miss the groups. SSFBG, anyone?

Well everyone knows I like a good SSFBG. I can't use the private groups on TB anymore either. Not that I think that should stop anyone from going to one.

So make your own forum.

Problem solved.

Good lord I was just wondering if that was something anyone was interested in. I wasn't tying to change GBCN.

[scattered]

and FWIW I did start a new forum but rora said that was basically pointless since GBCN had abandoned boards, and everyone was ready to move on.

[ghostmonkey]

You could benefit from taking a few deep breaths. You seem a wee bit worked up over this.

[scattered]

LOL no, I just think people seemed defensive about having a private forum. Like it'd look back since we're known for being not inclusive. Or something.

There is zero chance I will ever join a private forum again after BGP. No way.

I'm not defensive. I just like the aspect of TB where new/random people pop up.

I was thinking it was bumpgate___ but couldn't think of the p. I've been around for a while but the timeline is fuzzy.
