I was just browsing through the Babywrappers of the hive thread and realized that we need a board dedicated to babywearing. I am by no means an expert babywearer - but I would like to be! I think it would help if there was a board where all the posts that are now spread out in "parenting" and "gear" (both very general, broad categories) were in one place.
thoughts?
mr. bee i hope you see this!

Great idea! I wish the baby wearing thread was non gold only. But once we get a 
I think I'll make the gold plunge.

I fully support this idea! I often find myself looking for a babywearing board.

@californiadreams: Sure we can try one out... here you go!

Right now, I'm not sure there's not enough thread activity to justify a separate babywearing board... but we can definitely try one out and if things pick up, we can keep it around!

@mrbee: oh i didn't mean like a board at the level of parenting, ttc, other, etc... the way you did it is perfect! just a place to put all the babywearing posts.

@mrbee: there are so many posts in "gear" that could go in there too. Like if you searched for posts that contain words like beco, ergo, moby, tula, mei tai, woven wrap, (and so many more). would be so helpful for people who are looking to buy gear for babywearing.

@californiadreams: Yah going through and moving old threads now... should be done in about an hour!

@californiadreams: yes! Agreed!
@Fronkinzankinsbride: Sorry for making it gold 
I wanted people to feel comfortable posting BWing photos in the thread.
@mrbee: Awesome! Thank you!

@mrbee: there are actually a lot of threads in that board-I'm surprised, but it's good to see them in one place!
admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@californiadreams: You were right, there were quite a few threads that fit in the babywearing board! Just moved 250 or so of them into the forum:
http://boards.hellobee.com/board/babywearing
I'm sure there are more out there... if you see any, just flag them and we'll move them right away!

@LovelyPlum: Yah there were a surprising number of threads, just finished moving them into the new board!

@mrbee: thanks, i love that they are all together! It probably would have helped me when i was pregnant and needed to decide on a carrier. I went with a baby bjorn because i didn't know any better......
In the same vein, a "Stroller" board would probably be quite large as well. People often say it is one of their most important purchases while pregnant. then there are upgrades, strollers for different purposes, double strollers, etc. If that existed in the past I might also have made a different stroller choice! what do you think?

@californiadreams: yah been planning on that one too! It's just a bit daunting because moving all those threads is a lot of work. Currently reworking the "media & tech" category into "technology" and "tv/movies"... once that's done, we'll get the Gear subdivision going too!

@mrbee: sounds great! subdiving Gear will be so helpful! and ya, i didn't bother to check if it was already in the suggestion board or something you made an annoucnement about, it just popped into my head, lol

@Arden: well thank you for pointing that out! Who knows how long I would have gone without realizing. And thanks to whoever made me gold! Wooooooo!

@heartonastring: oh I understand it being gold for sure. I could have made a separate post for people comfortable posting in non gold if I was being proactive. So I can't be too much of a complainer.
