I was flabbergasted when I heard 2 Peas was closing. I loved the FSOT board. There were sooo many awesome peas out there.
I hunted an hunted for anything similar.
Finally after 2 years, I googled FSOT scrapbooking and find this!! I really don't know why I didn't try that sooner.
How did you guys find this MB? |

Stumbled on it from a google search after the shutdown (searching for the scoop on what happened)

I can't believe it's been over two years. I think I remember someone sending me a peamail while it was still functioning.

I got a PM from another Pea who told me about this site. I jumped on board only a day or two after it started up.  |

There was a thread on the old board about starting this one since the old board was closing.

I actually read about this site from a kit club message board but it took me a while to finally come here.

I found a link in one of the reddit threads that were started soon after 2peas closed. It took me a few days to make my account but I'm here to stay.

I don't think that's right - I was one of the very first to sign up here, and the old board had already been closed down for a few hours before this one was created. That was one reason it was so shocking I think, the old board closed down with no notice, so none of us could make plans for where we'd go. (Thankfully they did leave the PM system working for a while)

The day the old board closed, I signed up on a bunch of other message boards, and asked where the peas went. A kind pea who already knew about this place from FB sent me a link. But it was a dicey 24 hours or so. I'm glad I made it.

Studio Calico banned Amanda Bragg from their message board and she e-mailed me to come over here to chat.  |

The day after the old board closed, and I realized that it wasn't just a glitch, I googled looking for a two peas replacement and found the Refupeas.

I think I joined a Facebook group that was set up temporarily until this place. I think it took me a couple of days to get my account working here.

I wasn't actually on the old 2peas. I was a member of a message board for a Canadian online store that decided to close, and I needed to find a new online community. I Googled scrapbook message boards and this site popped up.

I Googled two peas and found this board. I was sure we would find a way to connect.
I also received a message from another Pea a day or so later.

Thankfully I found it on the first day. When I realized Two Peas had locked the boards with no warning (BTW, F#$% them for that) I started looking for other message boards. On one of them someone had posed there is a new board for pea refugees and to pm her for info. She sent me the link and poof, I joined as #316. So I was without 2peas for about 4 frantic hours I guess between the realization that the board was locked and finding and signing up for this one.
I would love to remember who that was who led me here. Maybe she's here and will identify herself.
I was so freaking happy to get here that everyone I either liked, disliked or had no feelings about whatsoever was enough to make me ecstatic when they showed up! |

I found it right away with Google. I signed up back then under my old email address, but stopped scrapping for a couple of years. When I got back into scrapping a year ago, I had to sign up with my new email address, so that's why I look new. But I've been around since the beginning!

I had a few peas pea mail me when 2peas shut down and told me about this place. I registered the first day, I think.

Hmmm... it was a message board somewhere! Maybe it was reddit. |

I got a Peamail from another pea telling me about the board a couple of days after it opened, I think. I was thrilled to find everyone again. |

I'm still shocked and scarred from 2peas shutting down! A fellow pea told me about this board soon after it was created. Thank goodness. |

TwoPeas locked the board the day they made the close announcements. So many of us were so upset the next day they allowed us to continue PM's & gave us time to get our projects moved from the gallery. Does anyone else remember that? I think our owner of this board was the one who send me a PM to come over here. I am forever grateful.

Facebook. I was devastated when twopeas closed, I do not do crops and I have no friends who scrapbook so twopeas was my go to connection with other scrapbookers, it really did not take long to find the refupeas thank goodness.

Early on our number appeared under our avatar and then someone made a Refugee Sprout badge. I don't know when that was or what the cut off was to be a sprout (haha!) but if you go to the members tab, click on date joined it will put everyone in order of when they joined and you can count. I am surprised how many people got here so quickly! 4 hours after it began there were already 300 people signed up. ginacivey who will forever by gina vinci to me, was the first member after admin. |

This is correct. I think there was another temporary board set up somewhere as sort of a emergency gathering place, I, among others ended up there somehow, I have no recollection how and then once this board was up we were directed here. I think I was here, if not signed up, by the first or second day. |

You don't need to count, if you go to your profile your number is at the end of the URL (after /user/). If you're on mobile you may need to click into the address bar to see it.
