I am beginning to wonder if there is another secret board where the Peas are meeting. I know of one and they didn’t like me so I got uninvited and I think there’s another hangout for peas online. What say you?

It wouldn't surprise me. I think people can be in whatever groups they want to be.

Well if you were uninvited from one then there’s definitely one other. I’m very curious how you found it though 😊
And yes, i wouldn’t be surprised if there were other gatherings.

They may have gathered for other things or assorted different interests.

Meh, if there is I really don’t care. All the cool kids are hanging out in here, LOL.

I never thought about it, but sure, why not? The internet has countless groups, so why not a few 2Peas(Refugees) spin-offs, too?

I belong to a group on FB who are "secret" in that we don't have anyone in that we don't know. There was a possibility of it being broken up (long story) and that was when a member told me about this place. She no longer participates here.

I would guess that is a “yes” that there are spin off groups…i am not sure that I would call them secret groups. No different than IRL, in a community you have big groups, you have small groups, you have specialized groups, etc.

So you are saying you already know of one secret group…but now you think there are two secret groups?
I have no idea, but I’m doubtful….lol

Also consider that some people gathered a group before this site was formed and never found their way here.

Just like there was a blog to trash people on the old NSBR there is probably one to do the same thing to people here. Some people have too much time on their hands ... You don't want to be a part of that ...

There probably are. Dd and I were a part of 3 AG Doll groups. One spun off from another and we were invited to join. Another was for southern CA Doll collectors.
Just like there are several community groups for my city because people got booted and didn't like the admin or wanted a more open one or wanted a more closed one...
Groups form. Nothing wrong with that.
Just hope any peas that started others are doing well ❤️

I do feel there might be a group of people who were regular posters, who longer post here. I don’t think it is anything like the old “blog”, but people feel they weren’t necessarily be heard here. I don’t feel the horrible nastiness of blog is part of it. We have lost so many regular posters, who were not trouble makers, but did many times drew rude comments. It’s a shame I miss those who have left.

It would have honestly never even occurred to me that there was even one.

A lot of people are giving up social media or severely limiting the use. Just because you are addicted to it doesn't mean it's odd for others to give it up. I have thought about it myself. I'm much more productive and way less stressed when I limit or don't use social media. White it has its benefits, it has a lot of negative consequences too.

Eh. I think it’s a valid question. As someone from the original board, spinoff boards are not beyond the realm of possibility. In addition to the two (or was it 3?) controversial blogs, many of the Photography Board Peas left and started their own board. It was secret and private. I have no idea what prompted the defection. I was not privy to that information. Also, some peas started a private genealogy group. That started because the genealogy discussions were getting lost on the fast moving general board, so that made total sense.
As for the other private boards? I have no idea. It wouldn’t surprise me because of how left-leaning this board has become. It surely cannot feel very welcoming.

When the unscrappable message board was still around, there was drama and the board split and two groups went their own separate way and formed their own message boards. I was invited to partake in one, but eventually it fizzled out due to lack of participation. Some of the members, were members of the original pea board.
When the original pea board closed, I found this place, as well as I was invited to a private facebook pea group, but that group went strong for a couple years, then fizzled out because of lack of participation. The last time I went to check it, the whole group was gone, deleted from facebook.
Now this is the only pea message board that I know of.
Over the years, I did read the message boards at ACOT and scrapbook.com....but neither board had the kind of camaraderie and participation that we have here. It's been several years, since I've look at either of those message boards.
Through the years (especially when scrapbooking was in it's prime) I was a regular participant on several message boards in addition to the original two peas......I was on unscrappable, the unscrappable spin off board, scrap jazz, lifetime moments, jangle, and aol scrapbook message.
I read the infamous blog, after I was directed there....because my original pea name was being talked about on there (if I recall correctly.....I am a bitch because I say what I want to say.....like I do on here), and a few certain members of the "most popular clique" apparently didn't like that.....so they posted about me on the infamous blog. Didn't hurt my feelings any, because I don't care what others think of me....in one ear, out the other.

I haven’t thought about it before but there probably are. I think any collection of people that want to interact with each other is great. Just interacting here the limited amount I do is enough for me (not that I’ve been invited to any other pea type groups).

I'm not sure what kind of group you mean? Like a separate message board? Or text group? Or FB group? Because I'm sure there are many of all of those since Two Peas. I've been in a very small one that broke off from the Pub for almost 20 years and it's going strong. Many peas are on FB and of course there are spin off groups that started even before this board. I doubt there is another message board like this though.

I don't know, and I highly doubt I'd be invited because I'm not friends with anyone here on FB or IG or any other place like that.

You don't want to be a part of that ... Yeah, that was a horrible blog. I Remember when somebody posted bits and pieces of it. I do remember that one.. I have no idea how I found out about it or even found it. I guess I had more time or interest. I just remembered that there was one post about me and how I complained about my husband all the time. I am pretty sure that was it. I racked my brain forever about what I posted. I don't recall ever posting much about DH, much less complain. We have had our ups and downs and I might have vented somewhat about it. But for someone to specifically say that I complained about him all the time threw me for a loop. After reading that, I vowed to never peek again. And I didn't. It was really gross too...

There probably are group(s). There are peas who follow each other on social media. Sometimes when someone asks where is so and so someone will say they are still active on social media so they are ok. Do I think they were is a mean or gossip group, could be, probably not and more likely people made some small friends groups.
