While I am grateful for all that 2Pea's provided us over the years I am not going to overlook the fact that they shut down the boards without notice. Part of the reason the board was successful all those years was because of their members. They could have extended a little courtesy and gave everyone time to either say their goodbyes or to find a new "home" where we could regroup. We have became invested in each other lives. We have seen a lot of pea kids become teenagers and adults. We have lost peas and pea children and spouses. At least give us some time rather than just shutting it off.

Very well said Laurie. I couldn't agree more.

Maybe I'm not tech savvy enough, but I don't see how she would know the identities of alter egos unless Darth Kropper was making purchases and using the original owner's cc and shipping info. I had alters, but I never ordered anything from Two Peas so she had no idea who I was under *Christine* or anyone else. You couldn't use the same email address when you set up an alter account at Two Peas so it would not even link you back that way.
Unless (and very likely) I'm missing something, I don't get how they would/could know.

Oh, the horror!

The way Kristina operated reminded me of a restaurant in my city. It shut down and informed its employees via text message one morning telling them not to come to work because the doors would be locked.

Made me realize how great TWoP was when they shut down, in giving advance notice plus letting the forums live a bit longer. Still have not found a replacement for that snark, but glad to have this place for everything else.

oh yeah. I'm banned from that last private board that FrugalScrapper and them started after that last mass Exodus from GS. I was telling some of them to STFU, enough of the bitching and complaining, maybe made a reference to husbands not giving them enough attention, lol. Boy that pissed them off but good. ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) I've heard I'm banned from there, too. With threats of a shotgun to anyone who told me about the board. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg)

I'll tell ya', Kristina has some MAD, MAD scrapbooking skills. Her design eye is FAB-U-LOUS and she posted some truly awesome and inspiring creations over the years. Totally! I found some layouts I had book-marked around 2004-2005 of hers and they still look current, and amazing.

I understand this but given a lot of the negativity and nastiness that went on, being attacked, accused of all sorts of stuff I think that they did what was best to keep all that down so they could focus on closing. They did leave pea mail open for people to connect and say goodbyes.

Except for the time about 6-7 years ago when the private GG board accidentally went public in the middle of the night during a troll war phase with the smack blog and there was a post by Kristina offering to spill those exact beans to anyone interested among the GG. She would peamail the info to them. I had just moved from Hawaii to Oklahoma and hadn't made a order with them using my new address. Even though I didn't have two identities or an anonymous account I knew right then I never would be shopping or update my info there either. My privacy did not have the utmost value. I knew she was able to see it all. Her being able to see it didn't bother me. But the offer to share that information with the GG bothered me a great deal. I remember this! Wow, that was crazy trying to keep up w/ all the responses. The good 'ol days.....HaHaHa!! It was that post, by Kristina that made me go cold turkey and leave 2 Peas. At the time I was a company owner, heavily involved in the industry, and when she posted that, I bailed.

Some of the posts, obviously not all of them and they are hard to read because of the format. I am sure I have others, but I don't know what I saved them under or which computer I saved them on.

Suzy - when I was on I hung out on the Glee, Grey's Anatomy & Once Upon a Time boards... the people who chatted about those shows are snarking it up at previously.tv

The recap of the 2Ps GGgate sort of makes me sad. I miss Sasha, and Monique. They both pmailed me after that brouhaha. I can now post, being that the other GG has sort of outted some things, that after that, I got 3 apologies for what went down that night. None of them were from Kristina. Marygrace, stidwell and JenniferPebbles were the only ones with balls to PM me.

I used to be the administrator of some message boards for the organization I work for. Every single post had the person's IP address next to their name, and all I had to do was click on the IP address and it would bring up a list of who else had that same address. (Only admins and moderators could see this information). Years ago when many people still used dial up, there might be many people who lived in the same area with the same IP address. But, if they didn't--each IP address was unique to the person. I often suspected there were people with more than one identity, and I checked, because our boards dealt with a very sensitive topic. Every time I banned someone, I would always check the IP addresses of new people just to see if the banned person came back as someone else.

My provider switches IP addresses every time I shut down my computer or printer and then start up and get online again. I know this is still going on because every time I shut down my wireless printer and then turn it on again, it has a different IP address and I have to change settings on my computer to use it.
