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.

@TurtleDoves: same! I've already done that with a few
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.

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!

I would be sad but I would probably try to spend more QT with my family during non work hours!

@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.
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.

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.
But seriously, no shutting down yet! You haven't been around long enough to throw in the towel!

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!

I'd probably go back to babycenter out of desperation, but god, it was so awful.

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!)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
there are a few other family- and mommy-oriented blogs that i already follow. and there's always google for when i have questions.
actually, if there were no more hellobee, i'd probably find myself with a lot more free time!

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.

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.

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.

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.
I would spend more time on WB and Mumsnet.

Won't join any other. Didn't know there were others so won't really care for them anyway. Don't shut down!

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.

Thanks to everyone for chiming in. There are a number of sites on here I hadn't heard of, so we'll definitely check them out.
Will close this thread now, along with the related one. We will review and absorb all the information in both. Thanks!
