What do you think this will do to The Nest?

[casmgn]

If the majority of active posters from TN & TB come over here to stay, that has to be a huge loss of traffic for them.

Has TK also moved?

[womet]

I imagine that they will get new newlyweds moving over to TN an TB, but I think the majority of us are happy with this new board format, our ability to change things ourselves, actually search for something, and fucking curse.

[y4m]

I can only think they wanted this to happen. Otherwise I can't fathom how poorly this rollout was handled. You'd have to be trying, right?

[y4m]

One more conspiracy theory. I think Ellie actually works for proboards, and was sent to the sinking ship of the nest to pick the survivors out of the water and lead us to our new home.

Lets hope it works out better than on Lost.

[StJess80]

I don't care what happens....just about as much as they cared about their loyal users.

[DownToEarth]

I've been on TN since it started and I doubt it will do anything. There have lots of mass exodus/new board spin-offs in the past 6+ years and never really did anything major to TN.

I think there is always a 3-4 month lull after an exodus, but it always seems to regenerate itself.

I also think it was intentional.
If it wasn't, then they're just damn stupid.

I've been on the Money Matters for five years and there has never been an exodus quite like this. I kind of think maybe they wanted to get rid of us?

[njohnson1972]

I have to agree with Cosmos.

I think they wanted a lot of people to leave. Especially after reading that response on the Bump Pampers board. WTF?

[Brie]

Eh. It'll regenerate. It's wedding season, so the Nest boards were due for an influx of newbies anyway.

[pugz]

exodus like this on the national boards has not really happened in the 6 years I've been on TN. It happens more on locals

[Deleted]

I have also been on the Knot/Nest since 2005 (holy crap) and there has never been a mass exodus quite like this- where literally ALL the boards left for the same place.

[ejpint]

I don't think they care. They'll get new users. It may impact them for a minute. I can't help but agree that perhaps they saw this as a way to shake out the old and reboot.
Someone on ML commented that actually the best way to stick it to the man would be to go back to the Nest boards and be as offensive as possible. Clearly a few have taken that to heart!

Whatever, I'm happy here!

[StJess80]

I plan on staying. I put the link to these boards in my sig, and Kore & Swizzle are spamming MM. These forums are public, right? I think we will still get newbies. I posted to Parenting, so they will know how to find us if any of them are lurkers.

[Kore]

I've been on that site for over 10 years now. I'm excited to finally "move on" (even if it's just a different URL). The nest has had its claws in me for far too long :-p

[Deleted]

There hasn't been a mass exodus like this since the Boston boards spun off a board just to discuss how evil I was... dumb asses didn't realize I could read everything they were writing about me :-)

[Deleted]

DH is in technology and when I tell him about fuck ups like the nest's rollout of new boards it makes him feel better about the minorish problems he has.

[Lissa]

If nothing else, I hope they get a clue about how to roll out an update. As a developer, the way they have handled this is just shameful. All the mismanagement also makes me think it may have been on purpose. Just think about all the bandwidth and database storage they're going to save!

[Deleted]

I don't think they really care about the boards. They think their site has great articles and whatever. Look at The Blush. They think they're Cosmo or something. Screw em!

I think that happened to me on the LA Boards! Tough being us....

[curbsideprophet]

I have been on the sites since 2004 and I agree that I have not seen anything like this before.

Dude, you and me both.
My join date was 2001. I had just graduated high school and was, apparently, wedding obsessed. I guess. I don't think I was active until much later though.

I checked out that site last week and it is horrible. I'll take my favorite fashion bloggers over them any day.

[Deleted]

This will have zero impact on The Nest.

[abramos]

Doubt it. There is a new spawn of brides and newlyweds waiting to be sucked in.

[drtouble]

One of my boards broke off to here a couple months back. I like it better as you can do more things and its way easier. Also, if the group wants a change or has a suggestion the admins can easily make it.

I think its funny how quickly this board has grown....over 1800 members. Wow.

[hannamarin]

Can someone recap the reply on the pampers board! Just nosy.

[ecupirate04]

See siggy.

I think the post is still up on the Connect with Pampers board on TB - it's "To New Posters" by Bump Kathleen.

Oh, so you are the poster Kathleen was talking about. Uh huh.

[mbcdefg]

I think they'll get enough traffic from people coming over from the Knot, or new people just stumbling upon the site by accident (I started chatting on the Knot because I was reading a wedding-related article on MSN.com).

I don't think they'll really care if we all never go back, mainly because I can't imagine any of the more seasoned users are patronizing their sponsors, subscribing to their magazines or buying shit from their online store.
