It looks like the board has all but died out. Anybody still here?

I check in. Seems like we're the only ones who ever write. Well, boards have given way to Facebook and Twitter. Not much to be done about it. I opened a Twitter to mainly draw people over here, but the last time I posted something there with the link, not one person came. So I'm not going to waste time doing that. I hate to leave a place just unattended so for as long as anyone at all is coming, I enjoy our little chats. Have you guys found any places for CF that are good on Facebook? I don't do Facebook, so I'm only asking because I have trouble imagining it would be as informative or easy to converse, you know. So I'm surprised how much it has replaced boards, which I prefer.

There aren't many people left on my other board, either. Just a handful of regular posters and a few more that stop by every so often. Everyone is on Facebook except for me and I think one other person. I have no interest in Facebook.

It just seems like there ought to be something better than Facebook. My main issue with it is I refuse to put my real name on the internet, but now there are a lot of other privacy concerns with them and with Google. I'm having to shut down my blogger accounts and Google accounts to keep them from broadcasting that my anonymous ID here is the same person as my anonymous ID in another place. I'm moving my blogs to Wordpress, which between you and me, I hate. Blogger was easier and more versatile to use. That reminds me I ought to go see if the one CNU uses is Wordpress or if there might be a third alterative out there. If so, I haven't found it.

I have a few different reasons for not wanting to be on Facebook but mostly I don't need something else online to eat up more of my time. I spend far too much time online as it is.

I check in here nearly every day. I don't post much anymore simply because I don't have anything interesting to say. I've always liked this site, and it's a real shame it's not as active as it used to be. I'm a member of facebook, but NEVER post anything because I don't believe in letting everyone know what I'm doing at any given moment of the day or night. Although I check it... on occasion to see what others are doing.LOL. It really gets boring reading about babies/grandbabies and seeing the photos. I have never been interested in that sort of thing. I'm hoping that we can keep this site going. I, for one will try to add my two cents more often. Maybe other 'lurkers' will do the same. Best of luck to everyone.  |

Hi Mar, well, I'm glad you see you are out there. You know, it really only takes the occasional new person to keep this blog going, but boy those are hard to come by. I know we talked about it back when Tabetha left, and basically our links to places that drew in customers disappeared at that time, and then the search engines don't put us up hardly at all. But the bigger problem is just the way social networking has all switched over to Facebook. You know, I made a Twitter page called childfreegroup and it gets new visitors all the time, even though I never hardly write on there (literally only look in once every couple of months) and when I do write, I put this link, and it worked a little at first, but the last time, nothing that I could see. I think Twitter was more effective before people "followed" so many people, because now they're not likely to even notice your tweet.
Well, we appreciate any input. If you see something in the news or in a movie or on tv that is related, by all means post about it. Or like me, I always do my bitching about kids in restaurants here.

I haven't posted because I haven't had anything interesting to share, and there hasn't been much here for me to respond to.
We have managed to keep going with just a small core group on my other board but we have all posted together for years, and many of us keep in touch through Facebook or email outside the board. But I do wish it was a larger group over there.

I see alot of CF stuff out there. My annouymous Google account found out who I was but I am noty too worried about it-I know it would happen.
I spent too much time online. It is nice to have something annouymous. I do like Facebook by the way-It is a way of saying hi to people.
