It was a fashion message board, i think, but we just talked about stupid teenage girl stuff - maybe there might have been like 15 of us at the time and that was my first message board experience and this was my next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-644357 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 10:50:18 +0000 lilyann 644357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, WB and HB are the only places I have been a part of. I rarely posted on WB, mainly lurked. I am starting to post more here even though I am on everyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-643477 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 06:00:22 +0000 hellobeeboston 643477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, this is the first for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-643472 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 05:57:24 +0000 GrapeCrush 643472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. WB was the first, and i rarely posted there. even though i'm still not a very frequent poster here, it's the longest/most i've ever posted on an online community. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-643427 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 04:22:10 +0000 illumina 643427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little. I used to use irc chat rooms when I was at uni and got massively into livejournal. I used to skim forums when I was wedding planning but like most wedding and pregnancy forums I found them too big to get into. </p> <p>HB is just perfect, it feels like I don't miss anything but don't need to check in 24/7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-643159 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:10:48 +0000 HLK208 643159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, WB was my first and I kind of stumbled upon it by googling so many wedding related questions. Naturally, I came to HB since I'm at a different point in my life. I like it here but I don't plan on being apart of any other online community. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-642206 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:58:10 +0000 MrsRoo 642206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like I'm in good company here, lol! Just HB and WB for me, too. I never really posted much on WB, though. I found it overwhelming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-642182 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:54:58 +0000 mrskc 642182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! I've never been so active in an online community before. I was on WB but never really posted all that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-642177 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:54:05 +0000 mrs. 64 642177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just WB and HB. I missed WB after I was married and about did a back flip when I stumbled on HB. I did wait a while to join though because I didn't need any help with baby fever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-642164 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:52:23 +0000 matador84 642164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was on wb back in 2007/08 just a little. i was psyched when i found HB! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-642147 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:49:47 +0000 teamjse 642147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, HB is my first, but I'm the first person out of my group of friends that became a mom. I needed mom advice and HB became my refuge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641556 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:28:03 +0000 MrsCastro 641556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no not until i found weddingbee, which became my addiction...and then i heard about Hellobee and well its the only community i visit... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641544 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:25:43 +0000 banana 641544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641469 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:14:27 +0000 Bao 641469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah somewhat. I was on WB for a while, and a few before that (I don't remember what they were called though), and now I am strictly on HB. Nothing compares to HB! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641467 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:13:56 +0000 MediaNaranja 641467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I frequented the warped tour message boards in the late 90s/early 2000s. Then nothing until HB, heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641460 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:12:54 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 641460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never knew about them or what they were like until i found weddingbee and thought it was awesome and got so hooked! now i like hellobee just as much! Though when i first joined HB i found it too slow, but i think its great now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641436 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:08:34 +0000 Amelieisme 641436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dabbled in WB, but hellobee I've been a bit more active at actually posting...although I still pale in comparison to most of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641416 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:05:04 +0000 autumnlove 641416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, this one is my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641413 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:04:38 +0000 Sweet T 641413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, WB was my first but I rarely visit there now. It has gotten so big. I love HB! I hope it always feels like a tight knit community! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641411 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:04:31 +0000 Caly 641411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, this is the first time I've ever been involved with one. I'd never really come across one I had a desire following &amp; it's also much easier since I can do it from my phone instead of being camped out on a computer/tablet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641409 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:04:29 +0000 Mrs. Polish 641409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: this is the only place I have ever stuck with. I've tried others, but feel comfortable here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641395 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:02:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 641395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! WB and HB are my first and only ones. I am a very social and outgoing person, so I prefer to communicate in the "real world," but for some reason HB has a special place in my heart. I have formed lots of great friendships. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641394 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:02:11 +0000 derevival 641394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No!! This is my first and only one. I am late to the blog world. I love HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-always-been-drawn-to-online-communities#post-641389 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:00:51 +0000 Charm54 641389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 13 I remember reading in YM (lol) about bolt.com - It was a website site geared towards teenagers and was a great online community. I was active on it for many years until it finally shut down.</p> <p>After that I didn't really find any places that I fit in - I was on weddingbee for a bit but found it too big. Hellobee is perfect for me :)</p> <p>I love online communities because I feel like I can be myself and connect with people with similar interests. I sometimes feel so awkward in real life! </p> <p>Have you always been into message boards &amp; online communities? </p>
