Eventually this board is going to outgrow what any free forum software can provide in the terms of storage space, bandwidth, etc ..................The admin of THIS site is eventually going to have to do something similar if this site grows anywhere near the size of Two Peas. In fact, if it gets that big, it's very likely going to cost at least a thousand a month for a server (or multiple servers) big enough to run the site, especially if everyone wants the ability to store images here. .....................So although I feel as if I know many of you pretty well, I fully understand you don't know me at all and therefore can't really consider me a part of the Two Peas community.
I think there is one major difference between 2Peas and sites such as Crochetville and Ravelry (I've seen you on the Ravelry boards ), and that is that crochet and knitting are in the midst of a huge resurgence in popularity. That means that there are lots of new members joining those sites and posting on the boards, boosting the sites' traffic. Two Peas (and therefore this board) on the other hand, were based on scrapbooking which looks as though it is on the decline; and therefore less likely to get similar numbers of newcomers. I am sure our community will continue, and we will get some newcomers who weren't part of 2Peas, but I think it is unlikely to grow at the same rate that a Crochetville and Ravelry have. We are posting at a phenomenal rate right now - the forced move has renewed our community spirit. And long may that continue!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this board. I didn't realize how much I relied on the connections through this board until it wasn't there.

Not going anywhere!!!
I know nothing about web hosting or cost. Is this board free to Podmother no matter how large it becomes?
If there is a potential cost involved, I would not have a problem if a pay pal account was set up and we paid a couple of dollars a month to support board. I love it here and would hate to see this place fail because of funding.

And I promise not to bail out even if someone hand slaps me. But I don't promise not to slap back .

I appreciate all the efforts, so I would remain. However, I agree that I worry about space. Same here. This is the first I heard that another board has been opened. I think moving again will be too confusing for everyone. If, however, we encounter space issues in the future, then we can decide where to go from there.

Gosh I'm away for the day and miss all the drama. I have no desire to move to another board either. I also appreciate everything the moderator has done to create a new board to come to on a daily basis. Thank you!

I posted on the other thread that I'm staying put. Unless the admin were to close this board down, I think it's just too confusing to be moving around at this point. Grateful we have a new home.
