I feel smart :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-989638 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 09:29:47 +0000 mrbee 989638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: when we first launched the site in September 2011, you needed an invite to be able to see the site!<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2011/09/20/welcome-to-hellobee/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2011/09/20/welcome-to-hellobee/</a></p> <p>But a few months later (in November 2011), we removed that restriction:<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/18/hellobee-is-public-today/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/18/hellobee-is-public-today/</a></p> <p>This boards thread was written on the same day that we opened up the site and let people view the site without being a member. Hope that clears things up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-989608 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 09:20:20 +0000 Modern Daisy 989608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am also confused about what you mean when you say "Open up" the site.. I thought it's been open? When I joined I didn't need an invite or anything, i just signed up. Am I missing something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-986159 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:17:34 +0000 mrbee 986159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: it already happened! We used to require users to be signed in to be able to access the site… We opened that up not too long after this post, I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-986154 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:15:18 +0000 deactivated_account 986154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What does it mean to "open a site" up?? Is this something that has already happened or are you going to do it soon? Why do I feel a little scared? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-985910 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 19:24:09 +0000 mrbee 985910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LizSmith: sure we can sticky it!! I'll do that now...</p> <p>Btw though, you didn't get in trouble! It's not a big deal to us when a newish member posts a classifieds to the boards... we just leave a friendly note on the relevant wall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-985518 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 15:38:58 +0000 Torchwood 985518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You said above that you would sticky this periodically to help new bees, but I haven't seen it since I started. I got in some trouble for self-promotion because I didn't know better. Maybe stickying it soon would be nice, for the others in my position? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-345803 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 22:36:29 +0000 pastemoo 345803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Agreed.

I don't mind ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-17808 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 13:35:45 +0000 Coastinganon 17808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't care about my blog....although I'll totally take you up on the link offer. But as an admittedly slightly irrationally thinking new-mom-to-two, I did take it pretty hard that my birth story, one of two things that I am most proud of in the entire world, got taken down. I feel like a megalomaniac if I post the whole story here...and yet...I think I'll go do that ;)</p> <p>Maybe instead of deleting all the links to birth stories, you could contact the people who linked to them and ask them to post the full stories on the board instead of the links to their blogs. This way they don't get deleted without knowing about it first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-17802 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 13:29:38 +0000 mrbee 17802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coastinganon: It's not your fault...

I know on Weddingbee its not something that is permitted (to delete) but I feel babies, parenting and TTC ing is a little more personal then weddings per say.</p> <p>You don't need to answer the question now, just thought I would mention it. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobees-community-policies#post-17610 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 07:30:56 +0000 loveisstrange 17610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No problem! I just wanted to clarify since I wasn't sure. Monthly threads would be neat. </p>
