I think we're being a bit harsh. I actually believe him, and the board is nice. Having said that, I'm not moving.
Listen, Guy... You're not very good at Pea Relations. You just can't come in here, completely unknown to anyone on this board, just a few DAYS after we all (by some miracle) made it over here and say "Here's our new board! Yay!"
A lot of good points have already been brought up... We don't know you, we don't want anyone we don't know in charge of us, we can only take your word that you're jot going to monetize it, we can only take your word that you're going to maintain it.
It does irritate me that people keep presenting all these "options." I don't want options. I want us all to stick together.
Although not ideal, there are plenty of options for a gallery. And did anyone even do a blog over at 2 Peas? Most bloggers use blogger or typepad or wordpress.
Thank you for all of your hard work. I still vote no. And I'm sorry you got pummeled by the Peas. But be honored...maybe you'll go down in Pea History...

I love our new home and am so grateful to have found it here. Thanks to all who are making us all comfortable in our new home. This. I'm very happy here and trust the admin and her intentions in setting up this board.
Twopeaspail, thank you for your effort, but I do not want to join your new board. I agree

Admin/Queen Pea - If you are not involved with this new MB project & migration, I am happy to discuss with you the idea a filing an ICANN dispute over the domain name this guy hijacked from you. Reposting to help ensure that the Admin/Queen Pea sees the above quote. ^^^^ To the OP (twopeaspail) Just the fact that you took the name of our group and purchased a domain name without consulting and getting permission from our Admin shows that you have a total disregard for other people. You are not doing this for the sake of doing something good. You obviously plan to get something out of it, maybe start a store later or some type of business to profit off of the failure of another business. You will find that the Pea Refugees, formally the Peas, are a close knit group and we pretty much stick together. We like it here, feel at home here and I seriously doubt that you are going to find many if any that will flock to your new web site. Perhaps you should withdraw or donate the domain name, which you stole, to our admin and move on to a new venture.

I like it here very much! I never used the gallery or some of the other features at 2peas, so I am content with just the NSRB forum. I do think it was very nice of this person to invest their time and energy to make something with some features others would like. Thanks for the invitation, but I think I will just stay here since most of the others will be staying here too.
ETA: I don't think (though I may be wrong, I usually give people the benefit of the doubt) there were evil intentions behind him creating another place. I agree with him that some people still do nice things for others these days.

The server is free and domain renewal is free. I paid 9.95 for the domain up front and no more paying for the hosting/domain is necessary. Interesting that domain renewal is free. My DH works in that field as well, and domain renewal is certainly not free for us.

I didn't go over to the new board but I can see why someone with the skills would want to capture this population. It is an advertiser's gold mine! I think if it was what was originally set up instead of this board we would have liked it. But many times we talked about what we would do or where we would go if we lost the bucket. Most of us ended up here. I liken it to the Houston Astrodome after Hurricane Katrina, knowing that anyone who lived through that this is NOTHING like that other than as an analogy. After the disaster, everyone tried to meet up in one place. When people left, they scattered to the four winds and most never saw each other again. If we start leaving for other boards, we will never be all together in one place again. I'm still trying to recover from the shock of losing my online home. I don't want to keep moving around.

Click on the link he provided and check it out. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

True, but you have to pay to host it there. I worded it wrong - up early with the darned dog, so total lack of sleep!!! There is always going to be some cost. He made it sound like there would be none.

If this guy went behind this boards Administrators back and started a new board using the name she had chosen without her knowledge and blessing - I think it was a shitty thing to do.
As I posted earlier, if he ran this by her before creating a new board, I would have thought better of it if the announcement was made by Admin.
My spidey sense is that this was done behind her back.

Glad you all took the time to hash this out. When I fest opened the thread I thought "ugh we need to move AGAIN?" I took the time to read every reply and it looks like you've all got it covered! I'll be staying and I think I've already posted more here than I had on the old board in ages. Thanks!

UGH!! I am clearly far too trusting...I thought this was a for real thing and signed up very early-before the very legitimate questions started being asked. I am ashamed of my naivete . I am NOT moving...I really like this board.

Not so much evil maybe dawndoll but certainly, I would guess,monetization.
We have something like 2000 plus e-mails on this site. A list of email addresses is a lucrative sources of revenue.Every address one collects represents an opportunity to generate revenue in multiple ways. If you’re sitting on a mountain of email addresses it would bring a nice little earner for anyone that would want to action some of the many ways you could utilize that list.
I'm sure our little " friend" had thought of that !

I just got back home and I'm on the way out again......and no I didn't read all 5 pages of this post.
What I saw when I looked this morning was a site that offered us everything in one location, like what we had before. To me it sounded like he "spoke" with this board's admin. I get change is hard, but I also think we and admin need to think future, not present. If we've already tapped size of images and other aspects of this site, then maybe it isn't such a bad idea to move before we all get really trenched in here. Seriously, think about it as the site has only been up for a handful of days and look at what we've already logged on it.
I think we'd feel better if we heard something from admin of this board to hear how she feels about the "new" board. I don't want to leave if it's going to cause problems.
The name of the "new" site.....well, I hope that both creators had a discussion on how they were going to proceed with this.

twopeaspail, I'm sure your wife was just as blindsided by Two Peas closing so abruptly as we all were. Thank you for your efforts to find a new home for us, but that has already been done. I, for one, am staying right here.

A centralized place for everything that you guys want and believe it or not people are actually genuinely nice and willing to put the effort to help out! I love to do this kind of stuff. Its not only a hobby its my job! I consulted with 'Admin' and asked her to be a moderator and even admin if she was interested.. The offer is STILL on the table for her. I certainly wouldnt expect you guys to move 6 months from now nor would I expect you to move at all but seeing as 2peas has been offline for less than a week its still early to begin anew! There is absolutely NO MALICE what so ever nor any suspicious or seedy agenda behind this. I don't expect you guys to believe me but I'm putting myself out there in hopes that you can trust that what I'm doing is a great thing.. take it how you may ladies, just trying to be generous with my time and experience in this environment..

I appreciate what you are trying to do, but we Peas are a suspicious bunch. Isn't that the truth?! I made an account there, just in case one day I find this site not up. (I can't deal with two panic attacks over losing my beloved peas)

I think it's a bad idea to move before you know exactly what you are moving to. 2 Peas was a registered business and as such they were bound by laws that governed what they could or couldn't do with the content we uploaded there...if they did the wrong thing then as customers and users we had some recourse. No-one knows who this person is, for that matter what country they are in and what laws would or wouldn't cover their actions.
I haven't scrapped in ages, so I wouldn't be uploading anything to a gallery - but those of you who might, don't you want to know what laws would apply? Who does the content belong to once you upload it, what could this (or any other) new board owner do with it? Could they sell it to someone else if they wanted, and as already mentioned by someone else, would they sell our email addresses? Then there's the potential for advertising, or what if they decide to charge an annual fee?
This would have made sense if the person/people who set up this board only intended it to be temporary to give everyone time to look around for a better/permanent place...but that isn't what happened. Someone just stepped in, who isn't a regular contributing member and said "here's a new board" Think about it - there has to be something in it for them...and it's not "for the love of the peas" if the wife hasn't posted there once in the last 6 mont
What reason does anyone have to trust you? History? Contribution to NSBR in the past? Experience of conversations with your wife on the previous board? And if I had a a dollar for everytime I heard "trust me" I could have retired a wealthy woman a long long time ago.
