I was thinking, I don't even know of any other parenting site like Hellobee. I know of Babycenter and The Bump - but I don't feel like they're similar to Hellobee. I feel Hellobee has the whole package in terms of forums for moms as well as an incredible team of bloggers. I feel most other parenting sites are one or the other??
Do you know of any with a similar feel as HB?

Nothing currently or will ever compare to HB in my eyes. They have a super secret magic formula that makes this place pure perfection. Shoot, look at the new photo upload feature, I can't think of hardly any other blog/boards type sites that have this feature!

I agree with @Andrea: ! When you're the best, there's no need for another!

The other pregnancy/parenting/baby sites don't do it for me because 1) they are clogged with way too many different things going on - I like the simplicity of Hellobee and 2) the grammar/spelling on those message boards is absolutely horrendous and I can't stomach reading through them and uncovering the content beneath the errors.

@Andrea: I don't need another one I was just thinking how there seems to be nothing even close to hellobee. I am SO glad I found it I've tried a couple other sites, like WTE and mothering - but it's not the same as it is here.
Like when I posted on one site my introduction and hoped to get some support and advice from other moms, not ONE person commented on my introduction post. When someone new is here and introduces themselves, they have at least 2 pages of welcome comments! haha

@Coco Bee: Oh no, that is so sad about the other site. That would never happen here!!

@highwire: I agree with all of those points! Some of the other places I've looked are just too "much."

There are local parenting list-serves that have some of the aspects of the boards here (and can probably give you much better location-specific advice)... but like you said HB is the whole package.

I like it best here, I think because it's invite-only and I don't have to worry about everybody and their mother seeing what I put on here. And it doesn't get clogged up with all sorts of weirdos.

@highwire: "2) the grammar/spelling on those message boards is absolutely horrendous and I can't stomach reading through them and uncovering the content beneath the errors." For this reason ALONE I only ever go into forums and message boards here at HB. I cannot stand the terrible grammar at the other sites. Even if their information might be more useful (which it's not), I can't take it!
