THe nest is like an abusive husband--they'll get all nice and apologetic to get you back, then once they have you, the fuckery starts again. Like how in EIGHT YEARS they haven't managed to fix the search function. We listen to our users, my ass. We can't search or swear over there.

I'm good staying here (although I here ads will pop up sooner or later) .. the ads didn't bother me on TN - I just hated the functionality (or lack there of).
I'm perfectly happy to stay here. The Nest may be going back to its old format but from what I've heard it's still full of glitches and honestly, the functionality of it (the total lack of a search function, among other things) has sucked ass for years. And we all know the Nest gods are going to just screw things up again as soon as their traffic goes back up and their advertisers get off their backs.
I have no desire to go back to the Nest. If people start leaving this board in mass, I think I'll just try to cut off the Internet board addiction once and for all
I like it here better. So much faster, so I can participate more. I had many issues with the nest that kept me from posting regularly - it took forever to load and often got errors - at work I just don't have time for that. I also could not access my signature to change things, so I always looked anonymous.
I like it here. It's faster, and more functional. I think we should occasionally link on H&F over there to boost traffic, though.
The more I think about it, H&F was pretty much the same core group of people the whole time I was there, so I'm not sure we're missing all that much with randoms wandering in. There will mostly be fewer HCG diet/Kinoki foot pads/Sketchers Shape-Ups posts, which is fine with me.

Staying here, the other boards i am on are staying here so i will be too. Proboards has some pretty awesome stuff that TN cant offer like a mobile app, fast load times, easy piping. Also even if ads pop up here I doubt they will be giant pregnancy test or questionnaires that are like "How often are our nesties that work full time having sex?" because that is totally what i want to see in big ass letters.
If most of the regs stay here (& it sounds like they are,) I'll stay here too. The ads do pop up after 2 weeks, but they aren't nearly as intrusive as on TN. Our local has a private board & I never notice the ads. This place keeps getting better. They added new emoticons to make it more nest-like. :drink: :beer: :Y:
I'm the odd man out here, but I like The Nest format way better than these boards. My browser is configured such that I didn't even know that The Nest had obtrusive ads, so that may be why. I feel like the board is moving a lot slower over here than it was on The Nest.
