Miso leaving MM reminded me that I don't get when people leave ML for another board. I mean, ML is the best board, isn't it? Who wants to go hang out somewhere else? Don't they miss us? Everyone once in a while I'll see someone on another board and have a vague notion in the back of my mind that they used to kick it on ML as a regular.
once when I was considering GBCN'ing I told H about it, and he was like, "oh, yeah, you can totally find a different board..." and he was serious. but I knew that was a lie, so I didn't leave.
crafts? hobbies? pshaw. IBD support group is WHERE IT'S AT.
i think other message boards are weird too. like when i google something for the kid and accidentally end up on babycenter. they are all dumb and lame! and i CLEARLY don't have the energy for more than one. i can barely keep up here.
I post on Blended Families on The Bump. That was my original board and the place where I learned I was a horrible stepmother. I had no idea what I was doing. I got the hang of things and I rarely have anything to post of my own but I still comment from time to time.
There was a nestie (I think her new screenname is cookiemdough?) who deflected to CE&P. I can't remember what her name was on ML or if there was any drama involved, I always wonder though
I'm always surprised when people are like "Oh, on my other board on this different site.."
Like, wha..? THERE ARE NO OTHER BOARDS, PEOPLE. NONE.
When I hear people say they post on other boards I'm always like - HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT. I can barely keep up with ML.
I post occasionally on my BMB on TB, but usually after skimming the first page, reading maybe 3 posts I come right back to ML. I do post on other boards on here, but I just look over the topics and only read some posts. I usually read all ML posts because while a topic like "I ran a marathon" can start out boring, before you know it its a 26 pager.
The first message board I ever posted on was the Cooking Light board. Then I got engaged and joined the Knot and HATED the format, but by the time the Nest started, it had grown on me. But since the switch I'm back to hating that format and only have time for one board anyway. Heck, I can barely keep up with this place most of the time.

I used to post on the Student-Doctor Network forums.
You haven't SEEN a flaming until you've posted on the "What Are My Chances" board.
Seriously, this place is unicorns and rainbows compared to that place. :shudders:
I used to lurk on SDN (for my job). Not only are they mean as fuck, many of them are dumb as rocks, too. Future doctors! ::shudders:::
I am relieved someone understands SDN. I first had to institute a rule that I wouldn't go on that board after 9pm because the anxiety KEPT ME AWAKE AT NIGHT. Then I had to stop going altogether.
This is mainly the only board I use. I may pop in to another here and there but this is my home. The only other forum site I go to is a fibromyalgia site.
