I joined before we were TTC with my oldest. I do also miss when it was a little bit more bustling, but I also recall the drama and sometimes cattiness that went along with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902191 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 10:28:38 +0000 graceandjoy 2902191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew about HB through Wedding Bee, but I didn't join until I was TTC in 2014. </p> <p>I really miss the sense of community we had back then! Where we had post-a-thons and stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902165 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 08:17:20 +0000 Mrs. Starfish 2902165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also found it through Weddingbee. </p> <p>I really, really miss the higher volume of blog and board posts from a few years back. For what it's worth, I can see how many views my blog posts receive. Last Wednesday, I posted about my daughter's eye muscle surgery and I can see that it has received 855 views over that time period. Looking back, my recent posts get around 1,000 views so maybe there are more readers around here than we realize?</p> <p>My wish is that they would recruit more bloggers and get more voices and perspectives. I love reading about different parenting styles and challenges and I definitely agree that I love the supportive vibe here. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902164 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 07:13:10 +0000 brownepiano 2902164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been lurking and occasionally posting since 2012 when I had my first baby. Googling something led me here, I don't remember what it was. The boards keep me around, and the occasional blog posts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902150 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 05:22:01 +0000 Pumuckl 2902150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had an account on weddingbee but that's where I heard about hellobee as well. Then lurked on here for a long time before I finally decided to sign up. Glad I did :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902148 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 04:21:05 +0000 jaguar 2902148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>weddingbee! though I lurked for a while because we were TTC/IF for so long, I didn't join here until we FINALLY got our BFP with Baby Jag (the first!) &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902142 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 01:43:28 +0000 cake2017 2902142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is the only place I post or lurk on. I’m not on any social media. I love how we can be annon on here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902139 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 23:50:02 +0000 ChitownRo 2902139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clearly I lurk a lot, but I’ve been around since 2012 I think, when getting ready to TTC. I found HB via WB - used that a ton for my 2009 wedding. I still love HB and so value all of the advice I’ve read on here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902133 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 22:28:06 +0000 LCTBQE 2902133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: yea good point, I could see how when my youngest gets to be an older toddler that everything baby just isn't relevant. But I get the best life tips here :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902132 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 22:18:17 +0000 Kemma 2902132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a lot of the original active posters are no longer in the baby phase as some of their kids would be quite grown up now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902130 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 22:15:13 +0000 Kemma 2902130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: the grapefruiting thread was AMAZING! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902121 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 21:50:45 +0000 crazydoglady 2902121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@formerbee: Oh, yeah, no regrets leaving at all.

I don't think it includes users who have shut down their accounts. I guess I am the leader this week...so many intermittent fasting questions. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902105 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 21:17:26 +0000 bhbee 2902105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: if you use that link above and click last month there are 237 or something people that did at least 1 thing in the last month ... but many fewer who are on significantly. It’s interesting to see the pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902104 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 21:13:41 +0000 bhbee 2902104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I just realized you can see the all time leaderboard! <a href="https://boards.hellobee.com/view/leaderboard?forums=0&#038;days=0" rel="nofollow">https://boards.hellobee.com/view/leaderboard?forums=0&#038;days=0</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902102 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 21:04:52 +0000 crazydoglady 2902102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@formerbee: Sorry, what was a long time ago? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee/page/2#post-2902099 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 20:44:14 +0000 formerbee 2902099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: it was a long time ago.

Some sort of OG group? I was invited by a member of the group (who invited a bunch of people,) and it became abundantly clear that we weren't welcome, so I left. I didnt invite myself. 🤷‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-hello-bee#post-2902094 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 20:26:24 +0000 catgirl 2902094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From weddingbee, though I wasn't a super active poster there.
