I just went on SCS and found the info there. Thank heavens (yes, I'm addicted) that someone posted there the name of this Forum. I truly appreciate all of the knowledge and wisdom that everyone is willing to share.
I have long told my dh that TwoPeas is a marketing departments dream. You ask and you find out the good, bad, and ugly. IMO that's a good thing.
Thanks to whomever created this forum!

Pretty In PeaNK was nice enough to invite me here. This is such a great format for a replacement!

I joined the temporary FB group 2Peas NSBR Refugees. The link to this site was posted shortly thereafter.

A pea friend shared the link with me. I haven't been active (4263 posts in 11 years) at peas in years, but it was my first forum and will always have a special place in my heart. <3

I googled two peas closing and the Studio Calico thread was the first site. The link to this board was posted in the thread. I joined the sub-reddit as well just to see where everyone shakes out.

I googled nsbr closed and a thread on the Disney boards came up. Someone had posted a link there.

I got a PeaMail telling me about it--coincidentally about 30 seconds after I did my approx. monthly check on board posts. I hadn't even noticed that the board was closed because I link directly to it and never go to the home page. Didn't even realize there weren't any posts dated yesterday.
There used to be a time when topics just flew through the pages of the board, but lately, even as infrequently as I checked, it was obvious the board had slowed down quite a bit, so it didn't even occur to me anything was "off."
I agree that in order to keep getting new members there needs to be some kind of link-up to Google searches. I never scrap-booked in my life, but came to the board because any topic I ever Googled led to a link to NSBR same topics SO OFTEN that I had to see what the deal was. Pretty much every hot topic was being discussed in addition to there being just crazy high traffic (until recently) to hear from more than just a few people.
If it can be linked up like that, and be similar to the NSBR board (minus the certain pea seniority territorialism that was off-putting to so many) it could possibly succeed too. If it devolves into creepy stalker sh*t like that one, though, it will surely die the same death, perhaps much faster. Share, but not overshare is always a safe policy.

I saw the info about the FB page on Studio Calico, I think it was, and that led me here. So grateful! I was starting to wonder what the heck I would do without the NSBR!

I googled Two Peas in a Bucket NSBR and there was a thread on the Disney board. Thank goodness!
I also peamailed Lucy asking if there was a board that everyone was going to.

I had Leanne's email address since I was signed up for Big Brother. I emailed her and she said to friend her on Facebook, which I did. It was so wonderful to see all the familiar faces when I logged on!

I agree that in order to keep getting new members there needs to be some kind of link-up to Google searches. /r/NSBR shows up on the first page of Google when one searches for "NSBR". I created that subforum and intend to leave it up. As for getting new members? Well...I think that will be a matter of reputation, aye?

I created that subforum and intend to leave it up. As for getting new members? Well...I think that will be a matter of reputation, aye? What I meant, though, was how TwoPeas seemed to come up for every single topic Googled. Also, I lurked on the board for a few years (only reading) before joining. I don't know that many new people would create a log-on for a board they haven't even seen/read. That is why I think this may not last. Even if every single poster from TwoPeas came here, THAT board was dying, but this one doesn't even have the traffic since you have to be a member to read in the first place. I like it, YOU like it, but people who can't browse a private board are in no way lured in. I can see why Facebook boards where people are using real first and last names are private, but can't see this continuing or growing with new members in the present form for long past the initial stage.

I bing'd "Two Peas in a Bucket Closed" which eventually led me to a facebook page "I Miss 2Ps". Someone there linked to this site...easy peasy

I saw something on Instagram, then searched Facebook to see if anything came up. Had a moment of panic that I'd never see anyone again!

I googled nsbr and a link to this came up. Far easier than I thought it would be to find.
