There are a number of sites on here I hadn't heard of, so we'll definitely check them out.</p> <p>Will close this thread now, along with the related one. We will review and absorb all the information in both. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535852 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 07:28:01 +0000 avivoca 535852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't join another site, but I would be sad that HB shut down. This site is so informative, and I like that the opinions and reviews are from real moms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535843 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 06:49:07 +0000 erwoo 535843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Won't join any other. Didn't know there were others so won't really care for them anyway. Don't shut down! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535841 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 06:21:03 +0000 sea_bass 535841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think most people would end up migrating back to WB. The baby board there is bare partly because I think a lot of people come here once they get pregnant.</p> <p>I would spend more time on WB and Mumsnet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535835 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:59:14 +0000 Charm54 535835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably just keep lurking on weddingbee . I used to actively post while I was engaged but don't really feel like I belong now so I just lurk. Good for some entertainment lol. Hellobee is the most sane, drama free, community forum I have ever been a part of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535821 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:18:50 +0000 anonysquire 535821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on several TTc themed Facebook groups and I'm sure I could find pregnancy ones. I like how everything is all under one roof here though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535819 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:13:41 +0000 autumn865 535819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't respond to the previous post but I belong to the bump, baby center and circle of moms. I have occasionally posted on baby center boards when I was having BFing issues but I found the boards to be not as easy to navigate and the responses i got weren't as nice or supportive as WB. I also like reading the bloggers but i I don't follow bloggers elsewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535750 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:50:31 +0000 softcream 535750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm on hellobee because i like it (content, members and tone), not because i need it. i don't participate in any other forums. so i'm pretty sure i wouldn't bother looking for another baby forum.</p> <p>there are a few other family- and mommy-oriented blogs that i already follow. and there's always google for when i have questions.</p> <p>actually, if there were no more hellobee, i'd probably find myself with a lot more free time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535749 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:49:58 +0000 BoogieBea 535749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not. I don't usually go on forums. HB is the only one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535746 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:45:34 +0000 Penny Lane 535746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be so sad! I wouldn't know where else to go </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535735 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:31:28 +0000 lemondrop 535735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This idea makes me feel so depressed. I didn't like where WB was heading, and really disliked The Bump and Baby Center. Fertility Friend threads were ok. I think I would try to get in touch with some of my friends on here via FB, and call it a day with baby sites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535726 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:14:45 +0000 MaisyMay 535726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have anywhere else to go. I've never been a part of another baby/parenting site, but even I know that there isn't another site out there like this one. I'd hopefully swap contact info with some of the members here, but it wouldn't be the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535716 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 23:52:15 +0000 Bao 535716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please tell me this isn't being considered @mrbee I would be so sad. I would probably migrate back over to Weddingbee but I don't think I would be as happy there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535682 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:56:47 +0000 SweetMamaM 535682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with the others, the idea of HB closing down just depresses me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535672 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:42:59 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 535672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would continue to stay in touch with the moms I have formed friendships with through HB. We have babies the same age so I can bounce stuff off them and get what im looking for without having to find another forum site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535661 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:31:51 +0000 ChitownRo 535661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't post often, but please don't shut down HB. I would probably move to the nesting section of weddingbee. But I would be sad about it. (I have the ads on and have clicked once or twice!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535659 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:28:23 +0000 sarac 535659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably go back to babycenter out of desperation, but god, it was so awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535657 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:27:00 +0000 Running Elley 535657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't go to another one. I'd miss it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535644 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:15:59 +0000 Sweet T 535644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is so depressing! I would be so sad if HB shut down. I might go back to WB, but I don't think I would visit as often as I visit HB. I love this community! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535637 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:11:43 +0000 Maysprout 535637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used WB and BabyCenter forums when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535626 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:06:26 +0000 Grace 535626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd spend more time on BabyCentre or The Bump, but I wouldn't participate in their boards. They are too big and it would very much feel like I was soliciting advice from strangers. Here, I feel like I know people. I'd also do a lot more searching for baby blogs to fill that void.</p> <p>But seriously, no shutting down yet! You haven't been around long enough to throw in the towel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535625 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:05:40 +0000 HLK208 535625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't find another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535623 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:05:13 +0000 T-Mom 535623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: me too! DH asked me if I was addicted to HB yesterday and it made me sad. I will definitely be trying to dial down the HB activity from now on even though I love the community.</p> <p>As far as where Else I would go, I would probably not join any other communities and go back to following blogs and my local moms group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535617 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:59:10 +0000 autumnlove 535617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be sad but I would probably try to spend more QT with my family during non work hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535610 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:56:27 +0000 MamaMoose 535610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im not a member any where else and I wouldn't become one. I would probably harass my HB friends to create a facebook group so it could be just like old times. I hate change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535577 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:45:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 535577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: same! I've already done that with a few :)</p> <p>I'm not sure.. I might peruse WB's baby boards again. Maybe. but I'm not really that desperate for an online community. I love it here for sure, but I would be okay without it. I sure would miss it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using/page/2#post-535575 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:44:25 +0000 Ree723 535575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I'd be so sad if there was no more HB! I probably wouldn't use any other forums and would then have nothing exciting to do on the Internet, which would make me so sad. I know I'm not super close to anyone on the site but i feel like I know so many of you that I would hate for it all to disappear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using#post-535566 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:42:31 +0000 littlek 535566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not join any other site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using#post-535563 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:40:34 +0000 Arden 535563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the other sites suck. Hellobee rules.<br /> I would be a very sad person, and instead of joining another site I would just picket Park Slope with a sign that said "Why did you have to take away my only friends?" lol</p> <p>Seriously though, Hellobee is so many worlds better than any other site I've found, but our budget is so tight I couldn't pay for it. If we made a little more money though, I would pay to have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-hellobee-shut-down-what-other-free-baby-sites-would-you-start-using#post-535562 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:40:18 +0000 MrsRcCar 535562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably not join any other site. I would just keep up with other mom's on our FB group. It would be a shame though. </p>
