A bunch of people mentioned that they don't usually participate in online communities/forums... that was a surprise to me!
Do you usually participate in online communities/forums? What other communities have you been involved with?
-
Only HB! I was on WB for a little while but not very active I mostly lurked!
-
I read a few but don't post too often: slickdeals, flyertalk, milepoint and I used to be on WeddingBee when I was in that stage of my life.
My company also has something similar that is private and I also read a few that interest me, both work and non-work related.
-
First time was WB and now HB. I do read other forums often but I don't participate. I don't like getting into things online unless I can make it my "official thing". I don't just want random accounts everywhere. That's half the reason I don't have FB. I just don't have the time to keep up with it so its not worth it for me.
-
Weddingbee was my first. I've only been on the two.
-
Nope!
-
Nope, just here and Facebook. Never been apart of something like this before.
-
Really just this one and WB, and I lurk on Reddit.
I don't know, this place just feels like...hanging out and chatting with a group of friends, not strangers on the internet.
-
WB a little, HB a ton and those are my only two
-
Just here. Used to be on WB, was on a few others while TTC since HB wasn't up yet, the other parenting sites were too snarky for me! I was so happy when HB went public!
-
I am a professional lurker of various forums. I participated a tiny bit on WB, but Hellobee is the first place where I am an active participant.
-
I was on WB for a bit but this is the most I've been involved with an online community.
-
Weddingbee was my first, and kindof ruined the idea for me. Glad I took a chance on HB!
-
HB is my first online community where I ever posted anything (aside from FB, or my local moms email group).. That's why I still feel like a newbie when it comes to online etiquette and some acronyms.
-
Not really. I skim WB sometimes and the Weight Watchers message boards, but this is the only place I comment anymore. Every once in a while I'll comment on those other two, but not much.
-
Just WB and HB.
-
I was on WB for a long time, and now here (though limited, as we're still a few months out from TTC). Anything else I don't really consider an 'online community' - facebook, etc, is all people I know in real life.
-
WB was the first one and I was pretty active on there! This is the only other online community I've posted on.
-
WB a little, but HB by far is the only one I have been truely active in and have made what I consider "friends"
-
aside from this I've been on Weddingbee and one other forum. I'm usually not big on forums. I got into it during wedding planning
-
Just WB and HB . . . but I am waaay more active here. I also lurrrve to lurk on Reddit!
-
Nope! Only HB
-
@MsLipGloss: I'm a big Reddit lurker too!
-
Just WB and HB.
-
hm. Interesting.
I have been a part of quite a few communities. Some include:
BF3 gaming forums
WB
A local punk rock forum (Join there when I was 15!)
ESPN community college forums (that was short lived, I hate sports, am Canadian and got banned pretty fast lol)those are just a few.
-
I've never been active on another site. I've lurked around a few.
-
@MrsTiz: I thought my interwebs would implode when I had to convert to Reddit from Digg!
-
Just wb before and now just here.
-
before HB, there was just WB! I only discovered this whole concept when I discovered WB during random wedding dress searches online. I also checked out the knot's forums a couple of times, but really didn't like it for various reasons.
oh, and i forgot, i also participated in babycenter.ca local forums a little bit. But WB and HB are always my main forum go to sites.
-
Just WB and HB. I was already sort of losing interest in WB when HB went public and as soon as I found HB I never once went back.
-
I was on WB and now I don't visit there, but I do HB everyday! Other than that, nope...the other ones I've lurked are full of rude people.
-
Just a little bit on WB and here! People are nice here and I find that the information/discussions going around are generally more intelligent and informed than on other sites.
-
Just here and WB before this. I looove it here. No need to look elsewhere!
-
I usually just lurk. HB is the first forum I've participated in.
-
Just HB
-
Only hellobeee
-
@chopsuey119: You are truly a wonderful pumpkin.
-
Only here
-
Mostly just checked out a few others - there are no boards as user friendly as HB.
I've participated in
-WB
-Spark People
-mothering magazine forum
and a few others but never posted more than 50 posts to each because I didn't like them/the members! -
I belonged to a different wedding planing forum but I didn't get on with their parenting forum (I'm not gay, tattoed, pierced or into neo-paganism and while I love reading about people who are all of these things, I need a community to be informative and supportive of my choices, even if they don't involve dying my child's hair with wet chalk!).
Anyway - HB is the only forum I currently contribute to! I joined a UK based baby forum but I don't get on with it at all.....
