I voted no. But I will say that I'll follow the group. I would prefer to stay here but won't on principle if others leave - I want to be where the action is.
Definitely not going back. Not only do I like this site and app better, I have really enjoyed the conversation here. It seems like we are all energized about the move and have had some interesting discussions. Less MM ones, but still interesting. I do miss what Volenti, tosa, and sisu brought to the board. But I am not going back.

I worry that if 10k people go back, it will be slow slow slow. And I dont even know if this board will be avail at my job. I am willing to risk it. Stay here. I made a bookmark. The hundreds of yrs I was on the nest, I never made a bookmark

Probably because the name of this site is much harder to type! I can never remember the address to get to it (thankfully it is on my favorites now).
The Nest is like a bad ex-boyfriend. "I've changed, really! Please come back..."
Lots of bad history does not make for a promising reunion.
"Sorry, but I am over you and have moved on."
This. I'm a strong believer that past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. I don't believe they care or will change--I believe they are reacting to drop in usage and the fact it is affecting their stock. Once they've woed people back, they'll return to their "you look fat in that" ways.
If the majority goes back, I'll just be done with posting.

I admit I wonder what will happen when ads start on this board. I like it here better. I agree that the move has energized the board. It has also made it seem more bonded, as thought we are a huge team fighting the man. I like the feel.
Agree w/ velvetshady. Why would anyone think that TN is going to work any better than it has in the past? I get that there are some aesthetic aspects that are better than PB, but for TN to not give a shit about their consumer base really should pull rank over appearances and be the deciding factor in where we end up (in the TN v PB virtual smackdown). I get that a lot of you miss volenti and tosa, but really...1000s of people, in one mass exodus, left TN to set up camp here, where shit works right. Whoever said that it would be like going back to the abusive partner is RIGHT.
thedutchgirl, I don't think the ads are that invasive on this site. Could be wrong though.
I'm on another proboards message board and the ads have always been really simple and not even that noticeable. I'm fairly certain there's usally just one at the topic of the board and at the very bottom. We are a very small board though, so maybe there would be more ads on a larger board like this.
