No really...who is EllieArroway?

[heyjude]

2000 people just follow her here, hand over personal info, and do we know who she is?

Jesus? Is that you?

[marie427]

Well, she *is* our Savior...

LOLOLOL. good points.

[Deleted]

Also, how many posts does it take to no longer be a "new member" do we think?

[decemberwedding07]

Hmmm... Good point. I used all my bogus nest info anyway.

[marie427]

I don't think we can measure it by number of posts since people can be regulars from other boards. I have very low standards - if your siggy no longer looks unfamiliar to me, then you're a regular.

Just your email address. I'll get more suspicious once ads start popping up.

[PeonyParty]

I was wondering the same thing. Not that I am suspicious about info but just curious to who started it all.

Someone else more familiar with these boards said that ads will start appearing at the two-week mark but that it's not nearly the hot mess that TN is.

I like to think she works for proboards and lured us all here. And if so, more power to them for smart marketing AND the ability to run stable boards.

But what if you change your siggy?

She said that she was a reg on PCE awhile ago (when it was E08) but had only been lurking recently. The move here means that she can post again.

So know I am trying to figure out show she is. There are so many people that have gone MIA from the E08 days, and I wanna know who it is!

[heyjude]

But who the hell is she?! She just orchestrated a major coup d'état on The Nest?

Then you're just making my life hell.

Can someone tell me the sequence of events? Was she the one that was all "hey click on this link?"

I actually don't think she originally planned to have all the boards come over here. Originally, it was just PCE here (hence the URL). Someone else suggested she make other boards on the main page so that we could board hop - people didn't like the idea of being isolated. So she added ML, MM and TIP, and they all came over. Then other people started requesting other boards and the rest is history

[marie427]

The only time I saw her post was when people were asking for access to the FB group and I was like "WTF is this?". I think that thread was before the Proboards talk.

Oh well. I'm naive and she's got all the identifying information she needs from me and I still don't care lol.

[y4m]

She made the PCE board. And then yesterday it came up that we should make subfolders for the main boards (ML, ML, TIP, and PCE) and encourage others to come over. I don't remember whose idea that was. But once it was done, I went to MM and spread the word, and it went from there.

Here's where it started:
pandce.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=2&page=3

[EllieArroway]

Y4M definitely gets credit for making this what it is. I didn't recruit anyone except for my post on pce about it. I created this thinking it would be an anonymous place for pcers to hang out for a couple of days until the nest got their shit together.

[ecupirate04]

Is is Lilafowler?

You're still awesome in my book. If you want my Social Security Number, you can have it!

Thank you and Y4M!!

Wait, so the info we put into the site was for Ellie and not for proboards? Whoopsie. I feel like I've never been on the internet or something.

[msmerymac]

Goldie mentioned she's used proboards before, so it's not like we're the beta testers or anything. My anniversary board also decamped to an off-board long ago and it's been much better. I'm not suspicious!

...But if she does work for proboards, that would make TN even angrier!

[EllieArroway]

I can see everyone's emails. So I guess if I wanted to be evil or something I could sign 1500 people up for spammers. Although judging by the looks of things 90% of you signed up with throwaway accounts anyway so I'm not sure that would do any good.

[LWoods]

Gotcha.

[heyjude]

Hats off to you Elli and your second in command, Y4M.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Haha, Marie, have you been drinking?

So, since you were a reg on E08, are you ever going to out yourself?
