I can't think of a specific thread, but I've seen people ask about a member and then others reply that maybe they left for a reason . . . kind of a "mind your own business" tone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2492035 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:46:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2492035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: I think the few that popped up where in a positive way? Or more geared towards bloggers that went MIA... At least I don't remember those posts being really negative or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2492034 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:46:30 +0000 raspberries 2492034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: I'd love to read those too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2492029 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:45:09 +0000 Raindrop 2492029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: @snowjewelz: Did we have threads talking about people and asking why they left or where are they? I sort of felt like that was a no no to chat about... I remember a ton of people left over that dugger thread... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2491899 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 11:16:40 +0000 lilyann 2491899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I still wonder where a lot of the old posters went and how they are doing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2491884 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 11:11:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 2491884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a birth in progress thread when I went into labor with E, and I like to go back and read it sometimes! I would have done it with G, too, but she was a scheduled c-sec, and it didn't seem nearly as fun. I wish more people would do them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2491843 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:52:43 +0000 808love 2491843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Bees would post a lot. Memory fails me but I think there were more cloth diapering threads. I remember the book club because that was the only time I have read a murder mystery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2491750 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:12:25 +0000 snowjewelz 2491750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: For sure. </p> <p>I remember once in a blue moon we'd have posts wondering what happened to so and so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2491559 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 07:57:01 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2491559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Haha I'll have to see if someone can watch my girls.

Considering starting one tomorrow!<br /> Also, I LOVE when people announce their pregnancy with a new post! I love to share in their happiness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2491185 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:22:38 +0000 Applesandbananas 2491185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: I do like when others do it! I don't always look at the TTC or due date boards so I miss a lot of announcements! But I'm like you, I probably wouldn't lol. I did have a squinter that I put on the main board though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2491081 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 19:24:16 +0000 Raindrop 2491081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: You are right! No one is make new threads to just announce anymore. :)</p> <p>You like when a person makes a new thread to announce their pregnancy?</p> <p>I'm a little shy about stuff like that (maybe superstitious), I kind of like hiding in the TTC boards to announce it because other people are announcing too so not all the attention is on me but that's just me. Hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2491075 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 19:21:37 +0000 Applesandbananas 2491075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like there used to be more stuff posted to the main boards, now it feels like a lot of stuff is kind of kept within the due date boards and spin-offs, like birth stories, when people find out gender, and even to some extent pregnancy announcements sometimes aren't made outside of the TTC threads and due date boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2491069 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 19:17:04 +0000 Raindrop 2491069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a silly one...

There was a shift in tone after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2490993 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 17:54:04 +0000 daniellemybelle 2490993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it is just me and my stage of life but I definitely think the vast majority of the regular posters have at least one if not multiple children. When it first started out a lot had babies, were TTC or thinking about TTC. I was in the baby fever category for I think about a year when I first got on HB! No users that aren't actively TTC or without LOs come to mind now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2490988 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 17:50:32 +0000 rattles 2490988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: ha, I can't make this one, but DH had the same concerns for the one I attended with our then-newborn in tow. I reminded him it was in a public place and that I wouldn't get into cars with strangers (tongue in cheek). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2490986 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 17:50:12 +0000 Raindrop 2490986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Oh we totally use to have a book club!

People use to post what they were wearing... or what their LO was wearing that day.... I think I would cheat and just post a picture I had of LO wearing something cute recently maybe not *that* day. haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-over-the-years#post-2490977 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 17:44:18 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2490977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What does OOTD stand for? Maybe we can start reviving some of these! </p>
