I echo so much of what others have said. I was so shaken by the loss of the boards at Two Peas and I just wanted to come along and join in so that this doesn't end up a ghost town and being lost too.

I can't seem to keep up with it! It's moving so fast. I'm lucky to get past page one some days It's lovely to read such varied topics and some of the threads are hilarious. I'm not sure what it is down to, but the board seems far more relaxed and happier somehow than what the old one was!

It's definitely faster. I hope the newness doesn't wear off and it keeps moving.

OMG I feel like I can hardly keep up! It's a good thing! Hope the new board stays this active.

I'm loving the activity! I loved the peas because for the most part it was a faster moving board (topic-wise) than other sites.

It seems more active to me- and less intimidating somehow. I wholeheartedly agree. I'm much more active in the almost 2 weeks since this forum was created than in the 11years I spent at 2Peas.

I agree. It feels much friendlier than the old board. I know that I feel more comfortable about posting in the threads now.

The new board is more lively than the old one. To me it seems like a lot of lurkers felt the fresh start was a good time to jump in and I think it was a much needed change!

I'm happy it's lively. 2peas had slowed so much I often got bored. Or I felt like if already read every thread before.
I hope we can keep up the pace here once the newness wears off.

I'm here every day, although I may stay on New Member status for quite a while. I was at 2Peas forever and I think I barely hit 50 posts in over 12 years so this is definitely different for me.

I think it's partially the lurkers coming out to play, me included. I also think it's the lack of a billion formal rules, and someone always handslapping for breaking the TOU. Here we have way more freedom and I don't think it's being taken advantage of here.

I see a lot of new and different faces which adds more conversation and topics to the board. I like the change!

It sure does seem to be much more active, and I'm loving all the lurkers coming out to play! There are more threads and more people. I guess facing the loss made us realize what a great community we had here. Now we are appreciating it more. That's exactly it for me. I was practically devastated when I found out Two Peas was closing. I felt like I better come out of lurkdome on here!

add me to the loving it board. As a self-proclaimed lurker for years and years I'm now loving being a real part of the family

I'm one of the lurkers! I read the old board faithfully - enjoyed all of it, but was more than a bit intimidated to "play". I agree that these seem to be a kinder and gentler board, but just as interesting!! Really glad I found you all!

I think that starting anew has levelled the playing field so to speak. There is no "old" peas versus "new" peas hierarchy, implied or not. I think that once we realised what we had lost we wanted it back! I, for one, love our new home.

I have to admit I feel more comfortable posting here than at 2Peas, where I lurked for years. Here, it feels like a brand new day

I did post on 2peas but there were many times that I didn't answer something I wanted to because I was afraid of being ganged up on and abused. I haven't felt like that here yet I hope that doesn't change.

Like kelleem, I had considered stepping away and regaining some time. Although I was reading, I wasn't posting nearly as much. But here I am!
I have yet to start a thread, partly because I almost feel like it has to be momentous or something. LOL

I was talking to my sister (a definite lurker Pea) last night about this new board and told her that it seemed like a kinder, gentler version of the old 2Peas board. I seriously gave it a second (and third) thought before signing up here, thinking that I could regain many hours of my life without the Peas but in the end good sense prevailed and I'm glad it did! It's really nice to see so many who have come out of lurkdom to post! I totally agree, Kellee! I almost dropped it, too. I'm really glad I came over. I wonder why it seems so nicer? Is it because we know the admin set this up and is running it out of niceness? Or do we feel more invested in it? I'm not sure, but I like this site a lot more. And as an added bonus, proboards is actually in the 21st century for ease of use.
