I feel a little sad as I was there every day for over 10 years. I didn't post a lot (less that 1500 posts I think) but I feel like this new board has a lot of the energy back that had kind of drained out of there. I do feel like they should have had a bit more respect for us that were there every day driving hits to their site. We were invested there for many years and I did shop there a few times. I know they don't owe us anything, but a little warning would have been nice.

I'm going to really miss the YT channel if it actually disappear tomorrow. I emailed them about this but haven't heard anything yet.
Agree with a lot of other posters that this new forum feels more like "home" than 2Peas ever did. And it's much user friendly.

I only care about us, the people.
All the free videos, products, and assets of 2peas will come in the future from other locations, other sites, but you and me, all of us, we are irreplaceable.
We are what made that place special. Our friendships, our sense of community, our ties to each other. That's what was special about 2peas. As long as we're together, it doesn't matter what internet address we log in together under.

I've visited the site only once since deleting the mobile app on the day of the announcement. The next day I removed the site as a favorite on my laptop, after a marathon session of copying & re-sizing all my bookmarked layouts. I'm grateful for the inspiration accumulated in that one Word file, which represents only a small sample of the impressive Gallery & other resources that will sadly disappear tomorrow. Many thanks to those who shared their creativity, ideas, & opinions over the years; good riddance to the greedy owners who abruptly dumped us from bucket; & much success to our new community here!

you are absolutely right. what made 2peas a community was the people that participated. the other stuff was fine but in the end, it was the people and this board only proves that the spirit of 2peas is alive and well.

I will not miss it because we are all here and I can get my daily NSBR fix right here.
If I need a recipe I will just ask here or google. I don't scrapbook anymore so I don't need the gallery.

I moved my gallery to SB.com, saved a few bookmarked LO's for ideas and downloaded the pdf's and videos for the classes I pd for.
The only thing I will truly miss is the gallery and the Glitter Girl videos every Wednesday. I'm glad Shimelle is still doing classes and videos on her blog, so that may help some.
I can also view other GG videos on YouTube, so if I seen one of those I would like to watch, I can still see them.

I'm not saving anything either....I haven't looked at any of it in years, so what's the point?

I only ever frequented the NSBR, and now that we're all over here, I'm okay with it. Same here ... we're still a great group Leanne

After I was sure I was settled in here, I went ahead and deleted my TwoPeas bookmark and I was done.

I do still scrap (I know, shocking), but in the end it was mostly NSBR that I went to ... and here I am again. I never shopped at TwoPeas... I think that makes me part of the reason they're no more, but I always bought local and everyone always grumbled about shipping prices so I didn't bother.

I moved my gallery over to scrapbook.com but I didn't download any bookmarks or videos. I will miss the gallery and the videos a lot.

Add me to the not looking back, seems weird after 10+ years to feel that way but I like what Kath said, it was the people.

No, I'm nice and comfy over here. All is well in my world. I actually feel that by losing 2Peas we all have gained so much more. ^That's how I feel, too.

Being a lazy person, I didn't bother saving anything except my profile showing my Pea badge, Pea number and post count.
Other than that, I figure if there's anything that I need from the archives, someone here is sure to have it!

I'll miss 2Peas but I'm glad this board is available. I did go to my bookmarks to get scrapping ideas and be inspired. I'll miss that a lot. However, like many others, I mainly went to the NSBR board. Although I was a lurker more than a commenter, I went to 2Peas almost every day for over 13 years... so yeah, I'm a little sad.

I *am* feeling sad, or nostalgic, about tomorrow. I never bookmarked anything, but I am sad about losing the history. 15 years is forever in internet-time. I worry that there are epic thread that will be lost forever in just one more day.

I didn't save anything. Like others, I have never gone back to my bookmarks. I sincerely appreciate the wonderful job that some others are doing at preserving some of the best of the best Pea threads for posterity and Saturday night PUI sessions.

I worry that there are epic thread that will be lost forever in just one more day. I'm feeling the same way - it is sad. I feel bad for the owners, they gave us a free site for 15 years and it was a great site. I did upload my gallery items to SB.com and I pinned my gallery LOs to pinterest (I think the LOs will be there but the links will no longer work). I had several threads bookmarked but decided not to try to save them in anyway. While I really like it here and think the boards are better, I will miss Two Peas

I was really sad initially, but I am pretty much over it. I saved some recipes and made a board on Pinterest for my layouts I bookmarked.

I think what I will miss is the search feature for the NSBR. I always searched 2 peas for travel advice, recipes, product reviews, and such. I would use google too, but loved getting info from previously discussed threads from women like myself.

To me the specialness of NSBR was the people. So this site has filled that want/need just as well. I went back the day after the announcements in order to save things I had bookmarked. But I haven't been back since then and haven't missed it.
