I can sort understand why they closed the boards. The Peas would have crashed it in an attempt to post for connections or whatever. I'm getting a lot of 502 errors now when I try to navigate. That said, they could have left those posts up a few months ago when everyone was asking where to go if the boards do close. Or they could have posted that they may have to do something with the boards and given Peas a chance to chime in on how to save that part of the site or whatever.

I sent off a message to them as soon as I figured it out. She responded to me I could still 'message' people. Thanks, but really???
I wish we all could start our post number with what we left off at 2peas.. I should go back and get it before it's gone.

I thought it was pretty chicken of them, I mean how hard would it be to just give us a week to deal with it all and then lock the messages but keep stuff avail until the site actually went offline. Cutting us off cold turkey like that, what did they think we would do?

Definitely. They had to have known. I would have liked a couple of days to save some things, etc. Douchebags. Me too. I had bookmarked threads with info I would have liked on medical stuff etc. There was no need to do it that way.

I've been able to go through my bookmarks and some of my watch list and have attempted to save stuff that way.

There's a big 2Peas thread over on Studio Calico's website. Somewhere in that thread, I'm pretty sure, I read Shimelle was trying to find out how to recover her content.

I totally get the frustration and even the anger of how it all came to an end so abruptly. I do not, however, understand wishing bad things like financial ruin upon 2peas' owners.

Dang...after all the rumors, it really happened. I think I watched it happen live as I was pea-ing this morning around 11:15ish when all the sudden the sale link started coming up, then 502 bad gateway errors, and then...nothing. I don't really understand what was gained by not telling us ahead of time. People would have been upset and angry and talked about it. Well, they are still talking about it everywhere else. It just seems like a total crap bag move for 2ps. I was not a prolific poster over there but enjoyed reading for products, ideas, and the oh-so-fabulous NSBR board. I have y'all to thank for being introduced to the wonder that is the "penis beaker". Even the political threads were interesting and entertaining. Just still in shock right now...part of my morning routine is just GONE.

I think it was incredibly crappy to just close everything down! My first thought was of Beth and not being able to hear updates about her. I wasn't as active anymore due to working longer hours, but I did check in everyday and 2peas was a big part of my day.
I almost feel like shutting everything down was a giant vindictive slap in the face. Not to mention only giving their garden girls an hours notice.

I don't think the powers-that-be over there realized the connections we have made over the years.

I'd imagine that their sales are going to greatly suffer. This was a dick move!

This forum is like, space age compared to the Peas. And I'll bet there will be no board crashing either.

Oh I know!!! I was shocked that they did not give us any notice at all. Some of us have been here for years! I may not have posted a lot, but I read every day and considered it my "community" online. SO glad that this board is here now - hope everyone makes it over here.

Hey, who was going to the American Girl charity sale in Madison (Middleton) this summer? When I looked up where that sale was going to be, I noticed that TwoPeas showed up on the google map.

When I told my DH he asked why they didn't sell ad space to generate revenue. My reply was an emphatic -THEY DID!!

Yeah, that annoys me, too. Especially when everyone was talking about it and they just kept completely ignoring it all, even bringing in a bit of last minute merchandise in a show of "Look! It's all good!".

At first I thought, how sad they must have been forced to close in a hurry then I started thinking about it and what would cause locking it down but the shopping stays active? They can't profit off the site but must try to sell whatever product they can? But them wouldn't it all be on super sale... dunno too many different things could be going on but not saying a word is really really shitty.

I wouldn't buy from them now. You can't return a defective product. And, I did take a look at the only thing I would have ordered, and it was a whopping 30% off. I'd rather use a coupon and go to M's or J's and get it. Then I can exchange it if necessary. Not to mention I wouldn't buy from them just because they've pissed me off now. I do wonder why they had to close so quickly. Bankruptcy?

Well, I am glad I was on the 2 Peas Genealogy FB group, otherwise I would have been lost! A heads up would have been nice.

Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Seems like this will be a much easier place to navigate. So glad I found y'all and I hope we find most of the Peas soon!

I'm glad I can still read the threads over there, even though I can't comment on them. But how do I save any bookmarks, pins, etc from TwoPeas to my computer?

Now that my initial panic has died down, I'm feeling a bit better because I'm seeing so many familiar faces and usernames. I think I'm ultimately going to prefer this format (though I miss the 'jump' at the bottom left).

I am so glad I saw this I couldn't get on earlier and thought everything was gone. I am just copying and pasting into a word document. I am looking for a few receives myself. I know there is so much more I wish I could grab but I just can't remember the things to look for right now.
