twopeaspail/Adam the gentlemanly thing to do now is to change the name of your board since you did not work this out with the administrator of this board as you seemed to infer.
Her response is on page 4 of this thread

I'm here, very briefly. I can say that the PM that was posted is accurate. To complete the record, this was my earlier response: I share many of the concerns raised in this thread, but as I said in my response to the OP everyone needs to make their own decision. I did not set this place up to be a "Queen Bee" (or pea!) so I make no claims to control the behaviour of others outside the basic rules & regs. It is however incredibly heartwarming to see the opinions of me posted here in this thread. Although I haven't publicised my ID, it has been important to me that you all know I am part of the community, which is something you would lose moving over. I did not know the new site the OP planned to set up would use the same name as this board. For those who missed the response

Cool Adam - then change the name. It is a free country, if others want to use your board they will go.

Again...why would we believe it? What reason or experience do we have of you or your wife to believe or trust you?

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 That point is sort of moot dont you think considering that THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of lurkers frequented the board sometimes more than some of the most senior members.. also this thread 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/140/lurkers-post-more-on-boardThe good intention is there. The choice to believe it, regardless of your past history, is yours.

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. Don't feel badly. I made an account too, just in case. Doesn't mean we are leaving THIS place.

I find it so incredibly amazing that your wife had very little presence on Peas, and in fact hadn't posted in months, perhaps even years, and yet is so invested in bettering our board situation that she'd have you create an entire new board for us.
I think that calls for a "Wow. Just wow."
I'm sure your wife will be quite happy at the new board, and I hope all of her pea friends enjoy seeing her there.

Yeah, no thanks! The admin here stepped up immediately and found us a new home. I'm sorry, my loyalty belongs to her and not the husband of some random pea who hasn't participated in the last 6 months or more. nope, not going and you can't make me

This is where you are very wrong, Adam. It is too late. Everyone is quite happy here. You tout all of these benefits that your site has that this one lacks, but you're wrong again. This site has everything we need. It has the people. We came here for the people. You are crazy if you think we will leave our new "family" so we can have a FSOT board. The more you push, the more desperate you appear. With each and every subsequent post, it becomes even more obvious that this was monetarily driven. Someone trying to "help" doesn't push and sell like you are. You are grasping at straws, still thinking "Crap! But it's been less than a week! I need to try to drive traffic to my domain before it's too late." But it's too late, Adam. Do yourself a favor and just step away. Who is your wife here, Adam? What is her screen name here at 2peasrefugees.boards.net? I love seeing you ignore this question over and over.

And it's even more difficult to believe you, when you're trying so desperately to convince us to migrate to your site.

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... This is where I am at. I am going to chose to believe his intentions were good and not nefarious. Perhaps his wife lurked everyday and saw this as a way to jump in and be accepted. ?? I don't know but I would like to think he was truly doing this for his wife. As far as not knowing who he really is....that is happening here. Some people know who the admin is but there are quite a few of us who don't. We are taking that leap of faith. I don't need to know who she is as I am also assuming her intentions are good. OP, if this is on the up and up you are incredibly sweet to do this for your wife. I applaud you for that. You are a stand up guy.

Yikes! I would have thought a pea wife would have warned their helpful husband about the peas or at least shared a story about our trust issues. Even a lurker would know.

LOL, the only thing that makes me think of is the old proverb: "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
I don't think you are making the points you think you are making.

Well I have to say, I started reading the posts and thought, ugg move again, I don't want to do that, but if the peas are all moving, I'll move. Thanks to the insightful peas who question everything, I believe I'll stay here along with everyone else. Very good points were made. Who are you? Who is your wife, who has never posted here? Why using the same board name? Tech errors?? I am pretty trusting but I also try to have my radar on. This could end very badly if you are not in it with good intentions, but we don't know you at all for one. Thanks to the peas who really questioned this person. Good intentions or not, I am not moving.

Does anyone find it interesting that the wife's pea name is Foilgerl? foil? As in...
Foil verb (used with object) 1. to prevent the success of; frustrate; balk: Loyal troops foiled his attempt to overthrow the government. 2. to keep (a person) from succeeding in an enterprise, plan, etc. noun
Yeah, sorry, I'm not buying this story.

I don't need to know who she is as I am also assuming her intentions are good. Forgive me if I have messed up the quoting feature here and quoted incorrectly. However, the above is true. I asked earlier on this thread who 'admin' is and didn't get an answer. So, if a main reason he is being doubted is because he hasn't provided his wife's current screen name, that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Is there an option for our current board to expand its size if we were able to set up a PayPal account for donations to fund the board? I know there are other forums who do that (I believe Willow Traders did at one point).

I haven't had a chance to post here as much as I would have liked this week, but it already feels like home. Familiar faces, names and the debates and discussions are in full swing. Home!!
So, I also would prefer to stay here.
My spidey senses also went on alert with the lack of real answers to questions and unclear intentions. Without that, while he *may* be on the up and up, it's really hard to tell. And I also feel like taking the name of the board without asking is bad form.
And this thread just goes to show that the peas can always be counted on for a wonderful multi-pager filled with drama and intrigue. I just LOVE this place!
