I am trying to post more often. I think it may be less intimidating for posters like me who did not have thousands and thousands of posts on 2 peas.

I'm sure it's still in the "honeymoon" phase, something new and all. But I do hope it stays this way. It really does feel like home.

I feel like it is more active, but worry that will change when the new wears off.

I think it's more active. I think part is the newness, but I also think that a lot of people who didn't post much before are taking the opportunity for a new start. It may settle a bit, but I think it's off to a good solid start. I agree with this. And I just gotta say, I love having more threads to read and comment on. Sometimes the pea board would get close to stagnant.

And it's threads like this one, encouraging and welcoming lurker peas like myself, that will contribute to the growth of this great new board. Everyone, thanks for being so nice! Yeah, there have been a few mildly contentious threads - well, mild compared to the old 2 Peas! - but not too bad, and frankly, that keeps things interesting too. I'm a school employee, so have more time to read and post this summer, but I will try to keep up once school starts in August. Overall, a definitely postive experience - and reading the scrapping board has me thinking about starting again.

It seems more active to me- and less intimidating somehow. That exactly. I've started more threads in 2 weeks than I did in the 11 years I was at 2Peas. Which is to say more than 5 less than 10. I've responded to a lot more threads as well. I even think I'll hit 100 posts today! In those 11 years? Just over 1,000 posts. I'm already way ahead on this board because it feels better to be here.

My DH and I were discussing this (sort of). If I'd been given the opportunity to say goodbye to 2peas, I wouldn't have looked for another board, like I'd always assumed I'd do. But to just wake up and it was gone- without warning, I was completely caught off guard on how many things and people I wasn't ready to walk away from yet. That realization pushes me to speak up, rather than just lurk. I have to think there are others like me out there.

I feel more "seen" on this forum. Like people are actually reading my posts. I felt pretty invisible on the other board.

Its easy to feel like that but no one gets all their comments recognised, quoted or responded to directly and it doesn't mean your post wasn't read and someone didn't nod their head in agreement. I try to keep that in mind when posting

Even though there are some posters who already are more active, the fact that we have all started again somehow makes it easier.

It feels like a renewed camaraderie, based off the theory(and song lyrics).... "you don't know what you got, till it's gone" This! Thank you to all the former lurkers that are coming out to play I agree. It's wonderful to "see" all of the new posters! I hope that they continue to participate.
