Peamail from Tracie Claiborne (thank you, Tracie!) and it was also posted on the FB 2Peas Genealogy group.

The short answer is Sarah*H's FB group. The more detailed, Pea-worthy answer is that I was awake early the morning shut down, reading threads via my iPhone, while still in bed. I fell asleep and the app had stopped working. I got up & got dressed, tried to get on the board, and couldn't. I must have been trying to call up the board in the same time frame they were posting their message and locking things. So I went on FB and asked if anyone knew what was up. Of course, then I saw posts on FB re: what had happened, so I think I deleted that post. Then I dove into the group Sarah*H created.

I was a bit slow in realising that 2Peas had closed. I kept checking in every couple of days to look for Batya's book thread and I thought the boards weren't moving very fast. lol. Did a google search because I thought that other peas were probably 'meeting' somewhere else and thankfully found a link to this place.

I figured the Peas would try to gather someplace, and went google searching for other refupeas

I read Ali Edwards post about two peas closing and read the comments knowing that someone would lead me in the right direction. A sweet pea didn't let me down. I clicked right on the link she posted and here I am. Thank goodness. I was stressing. I didn't realize how much I depended on the peas for entertainment and advice. You all are the best!

I googled Two Peas forums, found a link to a thread on the Disney boards, and found the link to this board there. I hadn't been active at Two Peas for a while so had no idea that it was closing even though I'd noticed how slow the boards had gotten when I did check in. Same for me, googled "Two Peas Closing" and saw a post about it on the DISBoards that linked to this board. I thought my app on my phone was just stuck for a couple of days on the old threads. The closing seemed so abrupt!

I had a bookmark to the NSBR page, so I only noticed something was wrong when that post about oreos was still on the top of the front page for a couple days. I mean, I now we love out oreos, but this was getting ridiculous! Then I checked the home page to see the Two Peas closing notice and felt immediately lost. I know I'm mostly a lurker, but lurking was still a daily activity for me. After that I googled and found an article about the closing and someone had linked this board in the comments. And for that, and the Fair Podmother, I'm eternally grateful. I could've written this exact post!

Hello, I just recently decided to give 2peas a visit after a long hiatus and found the shut down issue! I found this board link on sb.com and was glad to see it. I was a "some times" poster on 2peas, but loved to visit the site. I hope it's ok I came here

I googled Two Peas forums, found a link to a thread on the Disney boards, and found the link to this board. Same here. I posted a lot 10 years ago when I scrapbooked quite a bit, then I quit scrapping and mostly lurk.

I think you can probably guess! I found out about the board closing on FB - I just happened to check in there quickly at a time I'm not normally online. It must have been at least an hour after that before I was in a position to get this place set up. The amazing this is I had no idea until people mentioned it later how soon after the board closing down this all happened - by pure fluke I must have seen the posts on FB within minutes of the lockdown. I don't believe in coincidences, so I can't agree it was a fluke. You were so FAST! Really an amazing feat, Fairy Podmin.

I emailed a well known pea about something else and she mentioned it. I am so grateful.

Somebody posted the link in a private non-Two-Peas-related Facebook group I'm a member of.

I had a link bookmarked that went directly to the NSBR board. I remember going on wondering what the peas were saying about the Hobby Lobby decision. Strangely enough, no one seemed to be talking about it! And everywhere I went, everything was locked. I figured I was doing something wrong.
After checking the board a few times in a week, I noticed that the last date anything was posted was June 26. Still thinking that I was doing something wrong, I googled "two peas message board locked." What a shock to find out that the whole site was shutting down! Wherever it was that gave me that info also linked me to this board and here I am!
