Hi - Well, this board has been so slow that I started visiting another board and have been going there a couple of months. So far, I find no problems with it, but if any of you have had issues there, let me know. It's this one: www.thechildfreelife.com/forum/index.phpI would encourage you to go check it out if you haven't already. It's a very active board. I haven't seen any outright flaming there. Once in awhile a parent comes on, but if they leave the post, it's only if it's a nonbadgering one. I think they would peel any others off there. Anyway, I've seen no problems. I wish you guys would go over there because I want you to be someplace you're happy and that is active. But as I said, if any of you have had any problems over there, please let me know. If we all migrate over there, I would probably put this board on read-only just so me and Happy could stop thinking we need to check it all the time. I love our little group here, but if we were all at the next board (please use the same name so we can find you!!) then we wouldn't miss it. I'm in no hurry, but let me know what you think. Try it for a month. I won't make any moves until all you nice people who have hung in there with me have said what you think. Preraph |

I wouldn't have any objection to this board being made as "read only". I check in here almost daily and only rarely are there ever any posts. After the prolonged inactivity of this board, I would have no problem calling it a day and moving on.
Thanks for the link to the other board. I am keeping that link but for the time being I post on another childfree board which is primarily a small group of us who have posted together for years, although it is an open board and we would welcome new members.
It's not a busy board, but there are new posts every day. We do have a few moms who post there, but there is no "kid talk". It's primarily an open topic board, and there is not much talk about childfree-related stuff. We haven't had a problem with trolls except for one which pops up periodically to bash the posters on the board.
If anyone has an interest in checking out this board, let me know and I will post the link.

Yes, please do post the link here. I will come visit it. I'm trying not to spend too much time at it these days, but I always like to have a place to go. That one I'm on is really really busy and there's lots of guys on it and they write, which is kind of unusual. We only had a couple of vocal men here, and it's always good to have their input.

Here is the link: childfreebychoice.proboards.com/index.cgi#generalI post under the name of isism at that board. I'm trying to get away from spending so much time online. Boards can be a real time-sucker for me. That board doesn't take up a lot of my time. The group has become smaller over time and we really could use some new people... |

OK, I went and logged in over there, too. Thanks. It is smaller but is active. Honestly, I think this is the board that took our old name, and not sure how because we were first. But it didn't do us any good, I know that.

But it didn't do us any good, I know that. I'm not sure how long that board has been in existance. I haven't been there too long. I was invited there after another board some of us posted on was shut down. Anyway, I'm glad you are giving us a try. Maybe, if there is anyone else who still visits this board will see the link and try it as well. I like that board because it is active but there is not an overwhelming number of posts so I have a place to go that doesn't eat up too much of my time. |

Yeah, I know what you mean. That other board is so active it's crazy, and you never want to read everyone's replies. I get burnt out hanging out on the CF boards every now and then, and wish I had the discipline to just not make it so much of a habit, but there's only two things I kind of habitually write on , and they're one of them.

I do think that first board I posted, Childfree Life, has pretty good ways to find other people in your area, and because there's lots of them, you might make a friend. I'm still liking it there. There's fresh topics every day. www.thechildfreelife.com/forum/index.php |

I will look it it. This board has been pretty dead.
