Could not believe it when the old site was no longer but was delighted when I stumbled across this site. Can’t imagine not stopping by everyday to check in and see how the world of Peas is travelling.

I remember that day very well. I was thinking how odd it was the board appeared to be moving so slowly - and then the next time I refreshed I saw the message screen it was over. Luckily I had a lot of FB pea friends at the time and was hooked up and set up at our new home very quickly.

Doesn't seem like nine years, it goes by so fast. Grateful for the original pea message board for getting the ball rolling. Grateful to the admin for this message board and keeping the ball rolling. Grateful for the camaraderie, and a place to be every day(or multiple times a day  ). Grateful for scrapbooking, for me....that started it all. Who knew that 26 years later, I'd still love it just as much, if not more....than when I started. |

I can't believe it's been nine years, it doesn't feel that long. Seems like a lot has happened in the time frame, but it's been nice to have the company of the peas along the way.
Hope the coming year, towards our decade year, is good to all our peas and their families.

I am so grateful for this place and am glad we continue our craziness here I very much agree.
The collective Peas have seen each other through good times and bad.
It's always a place that you can count on to be there.
And I appreciate it.

It was that long ago? Wow, time really does speed up as you age.
I am still kind of fuzzy on how I made it over here, but glad I did.

I’m happy we have the board as well. I can’t believe admin has kept her identity a secret all these years (at least it’s a secret to me). I appreciate that she keeps the board going for all of us. |

In a weird coincidence, a board with members with whom I had interacted with since 1984 or 85 shut down the same week. I was lost and missing my internet connections. ...Someone I knew there sent me over here and I joined when this group formed--in 2014.

Wow...I'm shocked that it's been 9 years!
I don't post much but I read a lot. Can't imagine a world without the peas.
Happea Anniversary to all of us!

Happea Anniversary everyone! It sure doesn’t feel like nine years but the older I get the faster time flies. I was on the old board from close to the beginning but almost never posted for a number of reasons for a long time. It was only in the last couple years that I jumped into the fray on NSBR and then it shut down. This place is so much better. It took me a couple days to find my way here but I’m so glad I did. 😁

I remember the day the shut-down became a reality. A loss of friendships that had been cultivated in this crazy environment. Thankfully I had leannec's email address since she always did the Survivor Pool and she told me about this site. Now I have enough Pea friends on Facebook that' I'll never be in the dark again! IIRC we had another site for about a day before this group was formed. And some man who claimed his wife was a Pea and tried to start another group. But he seems sketchy. Or is it my memory that is sketchy.  |

A couple of years after I left the old board, I decided to lurk and found the original 2peas had disbanded. My first thought was, "There is no way that group just disappeared!" so I poked around and found this place.
Thanks to all who make this place possible. I'm glad to be back.

What I recall was that that board was going to monetize us being there but they/he wasn’t upfront with that - acted like he was going to do us a favor by starting a new board and we decided to stick with this board. I’m unclear if we ever knew the identity of the “wife” pea he claimed to be associated with (or maybe other people knew and I didn’t- just like I don’t know who admin is).  |

Happy Peaversary to everyone! I can't believe it's been 9 years either. Time goes by so much faster the older I get. Thank you so much admin for setting up this board and all of the work you've done over the years to keep us going. Don't know what I'd do without all of you to brighten my day everyday. So glad you're in my life |
