Other boards

[Amy]

I was just talking with a friend and she told me she belongs to a lot of internet boards and spends a good part of her day in and out of these boards. I was incredulous because this is the only board I have time for. LOL Once in awhile I will look at the Sparks board for weightloss motivation, but no urge to actually post.

Do any of y'all post at other boards? Are they special interest ones, or friendship ones like this one?

Todays Parent and Chatelaine are the only other boards I frequent and/or post on. I've met some great people/friends/moms through Todays Parent.

i cheat! LOL
there are several i just lurk at. some for just info and some i am not really sure why i still lurk. LOL
i actively post at another board, it's more of a broader based group of people.

to those who post at other boards, do you confide more in them or just here? do you seek opinions at more than one place? what happens if they differ or worse, differ with what you are saying? LOL

i confide about the same in the other board, sometimes the same info, sometimes different stuff.
i think there are things that are just IB and other stuff is just at that board.
i have had times where they two boards disagree on advice or my perception on something. i hate it and like it cause it helps me see things from all sides and not just mine.

The Todays Parent and Chatelaine boards I just post random stuff. Nothing really personal. Some people do post way-out-there stuff and difference of opinions that can go on there, make the difference of opinions here seem small, lol. However, when a thread gets out of hand there, it gets deleted very quickly by the moderators. There are way more frequent/daily posters at those boards than our small community here.

OTHER boards????!!!!
What? I don't understand the question!!!




Nope, just this one for me.

I visit and post at one other board. Sometimes I post the same stuff, sometimes different stuff. I post here more, though.

[JAK]

I mostly lurk and rarely post on a few other boards. One is military, so I only post when I can help someone out. It was great for me when I was looking for info before we moved. I do not post on those boards like I post here. My friends are here. LOL

You actually sound wounded Amy.....

Hardly!! LMAO



I asked the question in the first place because I would imagine it eats up a lot of time she could be out doing something productive. LOL I was just wondering if I was the only one who doesn't have that kind of time or patience to be actively involved in other boards.

[Diane]

I go to one other, and that's not even very often... I visit it two or three... maybe four times a month.

I understand....

I had an aquaintance where we used to live that was constantly going on trips to meet up with message board friends. It seemed odd to me, not that I wouldn't meet up with any of you if we were nearby, but it's almost like she didn't make close "real" friends because of the time she spent online.

Not on a regular basis. I have posted at a Disney site prior to going to FL - that's about it. Don't have time for anything else, especially now that Pam got me addicted to some online game.

Anyone have any 'small world' moments and come across someone they know at another site? There's a site I used to go to for ideas for the newsletter I did and they have a msg board as well - I would lurk occasionally and was shocked to find out I actually knew a couple of people who posted there!

You're all fired!!!!!
