I'm loving seeing the familiar names/profile pictures. I was a lurker but hoping not to be this time around.

Yes, I'm excited with every family name and avatar. I'm still feeling a little bit lost here. Hoping that comfortable feeling comes slowly. Me too. I'm actually posting less than I used to at 2Peas. I hope we all feel comfortable here as time goes by!

I am also happy to see so many of the old pea names, though I was strictly a lurker at the pod.

I wasn't posting a ton, so I don't think I'm a familiar face but I definitely recognize so many people and keep saying to myself--hey, SHE made it! Same here! Very happy to have this new place

Yup.
It's the same feeling as recognizing someone in a store randomly.

I do!!! I'm definitely a lurker, but seeing so many names of people I "know" really brightens my day! I'm only a little irritated by how much I missed this place...

I was mostly a lurker, but I enjoyed getting on the boards everyday to catch up on things. Kind of like watching a soap opera; you know the characters (members) and become invested in what is going on in their lives. I am really glad so many Peas have joined in here, and kept their old names/avatars!

It's so comforting. I didn't really realize how emotionally invested I was in the pod. Couldn't have said it better...although I was "quieter" on the other Board, I feel like I know so many! So happy to be here now.

Me! Me! Me! I'm so happy to be here I was feeling so very lost during my computer time! I was mostly a lurker, so I was very surprised at how much I missed the pod. I'm so happy to have a new place!

I am really hoping that all of the Peas find out about this place and join us. I hate to think that we may miss notifying anyone and after July 10th, we lose the ability to contact them. I love this place and am so thankful that it was set up for us. It really does feel like home.

I agree and I wasn't very active over there, but it makes me happy to recognize a name. It also has made me smile seeing all the encouragement for lurkers to come out and post more.

I've seen several more familiar names and pictures on threads today. And each time I think "Oh, I'm glad she found us!" Keep spreading the word!

When I have a chance, I've been going to older threads and peamailing Peas who aren't showing up on the member list. I just do a couple here and there, but I'd love for everyone who'd like to know about this place to hear about it!

I love seeing all the familiar names and avatars. I felt lost when the other board shut down but now feel like we have just all moved to a new home, which we have!!

I feel the same. I thought that since I wasn't active before I wouldn't care if and when the inevitable happened, but I was wrong. I am so glad to be here.

I was active on the boards many years ago. It is nice to be welcomed back to the pod. Are we still a pod? lol we can still be a pod, but certainly NOT a bucket.

I wasn't a very active member on the other boards but had been a member since 1999. I remember a lot of the user names but never could keep up with putting those names with the user's real name.
I also couldn't, or didn't want, to keep up with who liked who and who didn't. There were a few peas that I knew of that I usually agreed with on issues but that's about it.
It is still so hard for me to comprehend that we have been a "group" for FIFTEEN years. YEARS! That's a really long time to be a group of any kind and still going along!

I was a lurker on the Peas. I did not bring my avatar...I figure new beginning... and I haven't figured out how to get my button. (I know there's instruction on here somewhere) I'll eventually figure it out.
Oh, I LOVE the spell check button. I know others seemed to have one on the Peas, but I had to copy and paste onto Word to check mine. Which was part of the reason I rarely posted.

I love seeing all the familiar names and avatars. I'm a very visual learner, so it helps that people brought over their siggies and avatars. I also work from home, so this is my watercooler too. I'm doing some incredibly tedious detail work this week, so I love being able to take a break and peruse the posts.
I love the spell check too. For some reason, it was defaulted to French for me, so everything I wrote was underlined in red. But I've finally figured it out.

It's nice that some people are using the same avator. That is mostly how I recognize people. I don't look at names all the time. Wish I knew more Peas!!
