8 years ago the Bucket shut down. Happy refupea anniversary

Makes me think I should ask around to the folks I know who used to work at Peas and ask if they know what folks are up to. (I actually went to high school with Jeff)

Thanks to admin for giving us this great space to go when Two Peas shut down. I'm so glad we are still thriving after all these years.

I do miss some aspects of the old board. Scrapbooking and message boards were so popular at the time, new members were always signing up and joining in. The board moved so fast that every time you refreshed your browser there would be a few new threads on the board. There were so many new posts that threads would quickly fall off page one. The more needy peas were convinced that they were "thread killers" who were so unpopular that when they posted on the thread, no one else wanted to participate. Therefore, the thread ended up dying on page 2. The nice peas would try and assure the needy peas that they weren't unpopular thread killers. The nice peas tried to convince the needy peas the board was just moving so fast with so many new threads, that some threads just naturally died a quick death on page 2. It had nothing to do w/ the last poster's popularity.

I can't help but wonder, if years from now, when the last two Peas are still alive, if they will continue to communicate on the Two Peas Refugee board instead of just texting each other? Can't you just imagine it? One of the two remaining peas will start a thread entitled "Seeking Tried and True Asparagus Recipes." The other remaining pea will answer "I don't like asparagus but here is my Aunt Sallys tried and true recipe for Broccoli Salad." The other pea will answer, "If I had wanted broccoli recipes, I would have asked for them. Instead, I asked for asparagus recipes. If you wanted to exchange broccoli recipes you should have started your own thread."

I think I googled it and found it here when the other site was gone. 
There was a FB group also, I think I am still a member but no recent posts.

Wow! I joined June 25, 2014 at 9:37pm and I've enjoyed every minute of it!

I was a new pea on the old board, mostly lurking. I came over via the Fb group until this board was up. I lost my login and had to start from scratch. My join date is Oct 21, 2014 for that sign up.

I really hadn't spent much time on the other site. Many threads felt like mean girl central there. Now I know the ones to avoid here usually.

So glad this place is generally more friendly and fun.

I just checked my info - I registered on 25th, at 10.55 pm UK time 😊

Happea Peanniversary my sisters!

Idk what I’d do without you all 🥰🥰

Happy pea anniversary, my life just wouldn't be the same without you all

I have been a posting pea for 20 years this month as well! I was a pea longer, but I think I lost my first registration and just lurked off and on 1999-2002.

I had a post on my timeline yesterday too.  I had screenshot my last post.  I was arguing with Rainbow Scrapper.  

Oh, goodness. I hope it goes down exactly like that. Lol.

Wasn't there some other site trying to lure us all in? Run by a guy... and then we all decided he had nefarious (greedy) motives? So when this alternative popped up - run by "one of us" - we all jumped right in. I'm remembering this right, aren't I? Someone help me out.

8 years in the blink of an eye!

8 years already? Thank you to whoever started this board. I never really posted much on the old board though I'd go there almost daily. I don't remember how I found this board but was glad I did.
