Do you still go on WB? How often?
I hardly ever do. I was on today and it was so weird lol. I only know a few of the people. And I mostly stick to the baby boards if I do go on, but I only do maybe once a month.
-
I'm a hostess, so I still frequent the boards a lot. I lurk more than I post though.
-
Nope.... Never. As soon as I found HB I never went back to WB.
-
I've been "stalking" some of the nesting boards and occasionally feel fired up enough to post, but very rarely. I still read the Fallin for you Babies thread, though
I just never post. I MUCH prefer it here!
-
I only go back to check on the "6 months and up" ttc thread, because I "know" many of the girls that are unfortunately still there. And I mainly check on it when I know one of them is going through an IUI/IVF cycle. The other areas I don't bother with. A lot of it doesn't pertain to me or interest me any more, and a lot of the nesting boards are beginner TTCers. I really get so much information and love the experience and helpfulness of everyone on here. It fits a lot better with this stage in my life!
-
Next to never anymore. I am so happy to see so many old friends over here, so I don't feel like I am missing much!
I only check it these days if I am really bored or if I get a personal message via e-mail.

I actually stopped posting before my wedding! Everyone else seemed to have things falling into place & almost everything was a mess with our plans. I didn't want people getting me worked up about things I couldn't control at that point (no wedding dress 3 days before the wedding, extra 30+ secret invites given by ILs with no where to seat them, bridesmaids & groomsmen not ordering outfits, bridesmaid dresses being discontinued when 1/2 were ordered, family refusing to acknowledge wedding, it was a sh*t show!)
I was going on there more to look at people's pictures, but now that people can post them easily on HB, I haven't been over there
I'm glad though, the environment over there is a bit more volatile and people are a little less respectful to each other. Probably just because it's so much bigger. I love how cozy & respectful it is here a few people have sent me msgs asking me to post a wedding recap on WB, but now it's so far out it seems weird, but that's the only reason I'd consider going back on there.
-
I can't really take the "Should I test???? I have 1 million symptoms...Do you think I'm pregnant????" and it seems like there are always threads like that. Oh Mah Gah, just POAS! Why would you think people on the internet can tell you if you're KU?
-
I do sometimes - there seem to be a lot more home buying threads on there. I wasn't ever really on/active in the TTC forums so I ignore them. I like reading other people's experiences with the home buying (and then decorating) process.
-
@jholler25: Baha. I said the same thing to a friend on here the other day
-
Nope not anymore!
-
I occasionally do, but mostly stick to the August Mamas, Bump Love, and 6 Months and Up threads. Now that Evan is here I'll probably go there even less.
-
I haven't since I made a conscious switch to HB. I went over the other day because I got a PM from someone. But yea, I hardly know any of the names!
-
I only go on to pm. I don't check the boards or blogs.
-
Very very very rarely. I did notice that some of the "spring babies" peeps never made the switch over (that I know of) and it makes me wonder why! Also, what Jho said about testing/pregnancy questions. Sort of bugs the crap out of me.
-
@regberadaisy: I keep up with avantlalettre from our babies board! She and I were edd twins :):) but not even she is on there much anymore.
@artbee: same here. I love the wall function here on HB, but wish we could pm too.
@jholler25: Hahaha!!
@scg00387: Oh yeah those are great, did you follow that one girls house building process? She lived in australia, ugh cannot remember her un!!
@jholler25: Bahaha!!
-
Just to check on the nesting threads and read the blog.
-
Very rarely. The majority of ladies I interacted with are all here. I feel like pregnancy and TTC was so long ago already that I don't have much in common and don't know most of the members anymore. I had stopped participating in the wedding threads more than a year ago. I feel like so many of us from WB have grown together over the past couple of years that everyone is old friends here now.
-
I came from WB (I'm future mrs b there) and I'm much more active there, for the moment. I just started TTCing a couple months ago and haven't really jumped into the TTC threads here yet. I really learn a lot here and love reading the threads and the blogs, though I don't have much to contribute right now.
But since I got married a lot less on WB interests me, I stick to the nesting posts, mostly the TTC stuff. I'm in kind of a weird life stage I guess - no babies yet, but no newlywed angst (lived together for years) and we already own a house.
-
Gah, I've been a member of WB for over three years and I still read the blog and the boards, but I don't really participate, just keep myself entertained by reading random threads! I still like looking at photos of people's rings, dresses and recaps, is that sad?
-
I'm still on a fair amount, because I'm active on the 6 months + and infertility boards. I stick to those ones though - I'm over most of the other TTC boards.
-
I haven't been over in ages, once I got my HB invite, I def slowed down on WB, and most of those girls are over here now anyhow.
-
I haven't been over since my son was born - tHe spring mamas all made a swtch before our babies were born and I don't know many over there and don't have time to keep up with 2 sites!
-
No where near as much as I come on here now! HB is sooo much better!
so glad I found it!
-
It use to be once 1-2 weeks while pregnant. Just to read the nesting boards. But I think I've made the full switch now. HB is less stressful to me probably because it's such a small community but everyone is helpful and thoughtful here, I love it.
-
I don't go anymore. I did my official sign off 4 years ago.
-
I think wb is suuuuuper useful for a lot of recipes tips and DIY stuff but I'm not into the other stuff. Of course I am in an October babies thread there which I keep up with but most the girls are here too so there are lots of repeat stories that I already know from reading them here
-
I'm from the Bee, and right now I'm probably about half and half, but I lurk a lot on both rather than post right now. We're in a bit of stasis at the moment, trying acupuncture to get regular cycles (boo, PCOS) so I'm using both websites to educate me on what to expect when we can try
-
@Coco Bee: Me too! The girl I PM hasn't switched over yet.... but hopefully she will after she has her LO which will be soon. Either way, we can't PM here so we'll be staying there for that.
-
Nah they got all mad and banned me months ago....their loss
-
@Crisark: oh no!!
-
@Coco Bee: lol it was for the best. It's shady business and characters over there and I'm not interested in that mess.
-
@Crisark: oh sheesh!! I actually stopped posting because I was afraid I'd GET myself banned. There were some users (some who have since been banned themselves) that I just couldn't stomach!
-
Only to check the January/Winter baby boards.. And I rarely do that, now. I started to feel torn between the two but decided HB was just a better fit for me!
-
I still post on WB, but I spend more time on HB
-
I took a big break from wedding bee right after I had the baby for a bout 2 or 3 months but I do go on there now several times a week.
-
I still check in pretty often but I mostly lurk now. I don't post a bunch and the threads that I'm most interested in "checking in" on are the Fall Babies thread and the 6 months and up TTC ladies!
-
Seeing as my wedding is at the end of October, I will still read a few blogs/boards from time to time at WB, mainly to make myself feel better about lurkin' over here at HB--"See, I am still doing things "wedding-related" and not getting too far ahead of myself!"
-
@Crisark: same here haha!
I got banned a month or two ago. I came over here because people are nicer, you're allowed to have a different opinion, and this is the place i'm at in life- post wedding, pre baby I still go look from time to time, to learn things (and read the drama) lol
-
As a former WB blogger, sad to say no
Just because I think HB pertains more to my current stage of life.
I just never post. I MUCH prefer it here!
