I don't go to many sites like this. In fact other than here the only other places I spend any time on are Twitter and Facebook. And I have to admit I really don't understand how Facebook works.
Anyway yesterday I stumbled across what I guess is another scrapbooking related site. I saw that Two Peas was mentioned and decided to explore.
It was interesting to say the least. All the drama. There was one thread about someone did something to someone else so one of the two did a video on bullying. So I watched the video for a couple of minutes but lost interest after a while. I am not sure what her point was.
Then I ran across another thread where some one stiffed another person for some work they did or didn't do which resulted in an open letter.
I even found a specific Pea was mentioned in a not very flattering way.
But the most interesting thing I found was this statement " Private Pea smack board" . I get the impression the folks on this "private" site are either members of TwoPeas Refugees or visit this site and then go to the private site and I guess "smack" down peas/comments they read on this site.
I have been sort of thinking about this since I read it yesterday. I guess I shouldn't be surprised if this is what is going on at this private site. I guess it's no different than if you have strong feelings about comments made on here and vent to a friend or family member. But then again it is different because when you vent to a family member or friend very few if any peas will even know who the heck you are venting to. It's different here because if you post enough here we all kind of know each other sort of and to go to another site to talk "smack" about them is kind of like talking about someone behind their back. To me it's sort of dishonest. Juvenile actually.
If this is true it kind of puts a damper on this site. Any thoughts?

Wasn't there a "special" board/page when we were at the old place? Very few were invited  |

What is the point of "smacking" people here somewhere else? Make me kind of wonder what kind of values and morals a person has that would do something like that and how something so low life translates to other aspects of their lives.
I agree with you it is juvenile and it makes me kind of sad to think people you interact with here would do that kind of thing. I thought that kind of thing ended with the old board, guess not.

Old news. The smack board has been around for a long time. It's on its second incarnation, maybe third or more.
I think of it as a 'rant' subsection of a message board. People post their thoughts that they wouldn't post on here. I don't have a problem with it, it's just another outlet for people to vent or whatever.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head with this: " I get the impression the folks on this "private" site are either members of TwoPeas Refugees or visit this site and then go to the private site and I guess "smack" down peas/comments they read on this site."
Sometimes it is interesting, most of the time it is just stupid stuff. I've been called out on it long ago with my old pea name. I sure didn't lose any sleep over it. Dollars to donuts it will be posted over there, "happymomma reads here". They get excited when they can 'catch' someone going there.
It's really no big deal and it shouldn't put a damper on your reading here.
Sometimes people are just stupid and that is a place where others react to it.

Sorry, I'm on a new prescription and I don't think my brain is working at 100% and I really am having a hard time following your post.
I get the impression that there are several 'pea' boards/pages. And posters are being mean to each other. And there is a special board just for being mean.
I know nothing about these boards/pages so and have no intention of hunting them down. So anything posted there is no problem for me. A case of ignorance is bliss, I guess.
I'm just wondering why you think their existence will 'put a damper on this board'.

People post their thoughts that they wouldn't post on here. I don't have a problem with it, it's just another outlet for people to vent or whatever. The smack board is full of anonymous comments. I think this is another site because of the posting of videos and having a private pea smack board. I'm curious why you started the thread krazyscrapper? Doesn't posting a vague thread about some other scrapping site that puts 2peas down put a damper on this site without you being specific? |

I sometimes have little hope for people when I realize that grown adult women smack and bully other adults over crafts and their opinions. We expect better behaviour from our children -- why don't those who participate in such disgusting behaviour have higher standards for themselves?

Who cares? I like this board and I don't give a damn if someone wants to slam me on a "private" board.
OP - I don't mean this as a slam to you for posting about it, I don't care that there is another board.

It doesn't affect me in the slightest but it's kind of sad that some people need/want to do that. |

More like you "stumbled" upon a way to stir up some shit. You've been around a long time on the old board and everyone there knew of the various smack sites that have come and gone. I'd bet the farm you have been well aware of those sites long before today.
She who stirs the pot should be made to lick the spoon.
If I have you confused with someone else, I'll apologize in advance, but I'm still quite sure that everyone from the old board who posts as much as you do on as many controversial topics as you do knows there are smack sites, largely thanks to those threads like this where people claim to have just accidentally found them. Heh.
ETA I DO HAVE YOU CONFUSED WITH SOMEONE ELSE! So the apology stands...I don't think you're a shit stirrer. Sorry.
Though I still believe pretty much all the old peas knew about this, but it gets brought up from time to time most often by those who don't have the best of intentions for doing so.

Meh. Whatever. But why do you need to tell people that other people are saying mean things about them?
Have they run out of things to talk about over there?

Not directing this at you personally, but realistically the 'too much time on their hands' thing can be said of any of us that post here a lot. It takes just as much time to post here as it does there or anyplace else on the internet. I know people that think spending time on any message board or forum or FB or anywhere online is a waste of time. They feel their time is better spent playing golf or something. |

Wasn't there a "special" board/page when we were at the old place? Very few were invited No, this isn't any kind of smack board. The "special" board (using your quotes) was a spin-off of a bunch of people who left the General Scrapping board because of something. I think something that happened with the owners of Two Peas. They started a new board, and it wasn't a "very few" invited, it was really anyone who applied to be a member. |

I'm as clueless as they come & I knew about the smack boards from the old 2 peas. It isn't shocking to find there is one to smack this place. Some women will never leave the high school mentality behind.

Were you referring to my comment about you on the Pinterest thread? ETA: You said "I agree that gluing eyes and taping shit onto everything is ridiculous" That is rude. I said: "I find your comment kind of weird since you scrapbook and own a business (that sells scrapping items) where adhering shit on paper is common. To me, scrapping and decorating something for a kid's treat are both crafts. Or do you prefer to be called a life artist?  Is scrapbooking an elevated art form to you?" You were knocking down another woman who made a treat bag for school aged kids because it was too much. I was trying to point out, that it IS hurtful when someone knocks you down for what you love doing. |

I did not know there was a "smack" board on the old site. I did know that when two peas closed that a couple of groups were started on Facebook and this site and that is what I know what happened when 2 peas closed
Why did I start this thread? Because I wasn't sure what to think about this smack site and was curious if others knew about this site and what they thought about it. Also I wasn't sure this site existed but It seems that it does. I think it's childish that grown women slink off to another site to make fun of others. If you have something to say to someone say it to their face.
I did not provide a link for the site because a specfic pea was singled out and if I had provided a link there would have been a stampede over to the site and the comments would have bigger audience and I'm not going to be a party to that. Some may think that is silly but that is the way it is. The site isn't that hard to find if you want to do a little work. I also suspect some know exactly what site I'm talking about.

Well shit, I suck at Google, apparently. I tried to find it and couldn't find anything...except did you know Scrapjazz is still around?! I'm amazed, it was so boring 10 years ago, I'd never have imagined it would outlast 2peas.
But I found nothing. Cmon, fulfill my base desire for salacious, pointless gossip. Link a sister up!

I was on 2Peas for a few years, and I have never heard of this "Smack Board" or whatever you call it.
I find it rather sad that grown women find it necessary to find fault with other women. It would be a pretty boring world if we were all the exact same.
I have no desire to find out the link. I would not be interested in looking at it.

My theory is that if someone wants to talk smack about me behind my back then that means that they are thinking about me WAY more than I think about them. So have at it. My life is pretty damn boring so if that's what you want to talk about, then your life is even more pathetic.

Well, when they smacked on me, it was of a photo on a photo thread at the old board. This was years ago. I posted a photo of my then boyfriend and me on vacation at the ocean. Someone on the smack site said that my boyfriend had puny arms. Truthfully, he had just normal arms. Not pumped up muscular arms. It made me chuckle. That's the kind of stuff they bag on. Not something worth getting worked up over for sure. But something they wouldn't be saying on a picture thread. Pfft.

There have been smack sites and private boards as long as there has been 2Peas.
I find it difficult to the point of almost impossible that you could have been on the old board and not known about the smack blog.
It was mentioned ALL THE TIME.
There were tons of threads, call outs, comments, hair flips all related to the smack blog.

I also think it's really juvenile to start a thread talking about a website and then pull the "I'm not gonna tell you what the website is" bullshit.

I'm still confused as to how you found the site, if you don't visit many internet sites at all... but that's neither here nor there, I guess.
I've seen it before, but honestly forgot all about it... in case anyone is really that interested, it's a Blogger site... just Google Scrap_Smack (remove the underscore) and you should be able to find it. It's not really interesting to me, though-- sometimes they do talk about real issues going on in the SB world, scrapbook companies, etc. but mostly they post anonymous snarky stuff about other people in the crafting world.
And it's not the same as the invitation-only message board that was started as a spinoff from the two peas general scrapping board after a couple people got banned (? I think that's what happened) for discussing a specific customer service issue. (if I recall correctly, that happened after someone placed an order with the understanding they would get something free with it, and it wasn't sent with the order-- a lot of people piled on about it, and 2peas wasn't happy about people talking about a specific transaction.)
ETA: I don't know if it's the same now, but since most of the posts / comments were posted anonymously, in the past it was kind of understood that it could actually be 'professional' scrappers who worked for companies or design teams using the anonymous platform to post about each other or the companies they worked with or for.

I thought it was called Wow just wow or something and was run by Jane Doe who everyone speculated was Beth. After Beth died it kind of died too. Is that the one?
