Someone requested a new board to use for an NSBR archive (i.e. posts from the old board we want to save), and it seems like a good idea to me. If it's going to be useful it needs to happen soon so I wanted to take a quick sounding of your opinions.
If I do set up a board for this I would make it so that only members can see it (unlike everything else where anyone can view but only members can post)
EDIT - poll is closed as new board now set up

My thought is no. Reason being that this is a new board that was born of a need for continuity for a group of Peas. The thing is that in order to thrive we need new members! We don't want this site to be a huge clique where potential new folks feel intimidated to join. I often heard and read that non-Peas felt there would be no room for them at 2Peas or would always feel like outsiders.
In time this site could well be comprised of half "new" members and it would be sad if we were to be split along the lines of old and new. Continuing to accentuate the differences in our origins may emphasize & promote a split more by keeping the old stuff around.
So far we are open, happy and free here and there has been non of the cattiness that so often erupted on the old board. Let's turn over a new leaf, set the bar higher for ourselves and put the word out that this is not the old board but a new place where everyone is welcome!

I think it's a great idea. Even though this is a new board and may get new members that never were a part of 2Peas, there will definitely be talk of old threads and having a separate board for them will make it much easier to find things.

I say yes. I loved some of the old NSBR threads - especially the recipes and reading threads!

I don't see the harm in saving posts from 2peas. There is some great information that would be great to preserve. Could there be a 2peas Archive for both NSBR and GS?
Also, is there a good way of capturing an entire thread? I saved some of my bookmarks, but one I have is like 20 pages long. I don't have the patience to preserve that one!!

Love the idea. Especially in one collected place then you can either revisit those threads or not.

I voted YES. There are some classic threads over there, the ones that are brought out seasonally, or when the occasion arises.

I wanted to save the thread from when we had to put our sweet boy Kellie down. All I did was copy from the bottom of the page up to the original post and then pasted it into a word document. It's 40 pages long but priceless to me. There might be an easier way but this was pretty fast.

I vote yes but I would keep it to epic fun threads not the epic catty threads. For instance, my dog stole baby Jesus should be archived.

Yes and I have the entire Giblet Gate thread in a word processing document. And, I think I have another smaller one too.

I was only a part of 2peas for 5 years, and I still felt like I was a part of the group because I was able to go back and read old threads that took place years before I was there. The Crazy Turkey Lady, tear bears, Baby Jesus, etc. I know all of the stories because they were linked. I feel like the "clique" feeling would be more exaggerated if new peas had no idea what we were talking about, sort of like an inside-joke that only we know. Having certain old threads archived allows new peas to catch up. I hope that makes sense.

Yes!! That would be a wonderful idea, some holidays wouldn't be the same without those posts.

I'd love to be able to read some of those old threads whenever I wanted. Some are good reads on days when you just need a little pick-me-up.

All anyone would have to do if they wanted to read it is sign up and become a member. I agree that it might help new members understand what we're talking about when we refer to these old crazy threads. I vote yes. Great idea!
