Where'd they go?

MoonMama replied: To the dark side muhahahaha!

Kidding, I have know idea. Life just gets busy I'm sure is all.

mckayleesmom replied: I always notice that too. Alot of the mods I haven't seen online in forever.

redchief replied: Kids grow up... Soccer games call... Work gets more demanding. Basically life gets in the way sometimes. I still check in as much as I can.

PrairieMom replied: I have wondered that too. If none of the mods come here anymore, who is really moderating us yeah-whos? LOL.
Traffic is way slower here than it used to be tho. I'm sure it all works out.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I can only speak for myself when I say that I mainly only read nowadays rather than get involved in posts. It's easier for me to moderate when I don't get a load of accusations of impartiality or preferential treatment flung my way. We're all around, though.

coasterqueen replied: The only thing I can say to this is.....Where Have All the Cowboys goooonnnnneeee? Sorry, that verse of a song came into my retarded head.

MommyToAshley replied: Still here, but as Ed said... Ashley's schedule and social life keeps me busy. LOL. I still read often, but don't always post.

youngmomofone replied: That's why I posted a long time ago about this board being slow. When I first joined and even a couple years later there were a lot of people, and now there's hardly any new posts

coasterqueen replied: Yeah, I don't know if it's about people being busier as the kids grow, because I know people post on other boards as well. I think there's more to it than that

PrairieMom replied:
for me, its just that there aren't as many posts, not as much to talk about. I'm still here tho. reading all the time.

A&A'smommy replied: busy.. I'm sure most of the mods are just busy

bluebear replied: Maybe it's all because of Facebook?? I've seen a lot of other message boards that have gone dry and almost all of the members are on Facebook constantly.
I'm not one of those people that will stick around for like 4 months and never post again.
I think there were ~6 new posts this weekend on this board.

DVFlyer replied: Facebook is annoying.

Long live the forums!!!!!!

luvmykids replied: I'm not a mod, but yes I do facebook a lot more since I can combine all my friends and family in one place. Plus, it's peaceful And, I started subbing so I work three or four days a week and just don't have as much time to spend online.

mckayleesmom replied: I think the boards have also slowed because when it was the busiest our kids were all babies and alot of them are in school now. I tend to read alot more then posting nowadays, but I try.

redchief replied: I just don't get online as much anymore. And I'll have to admit that I'm a little into fb.

msoulz replied:
I think you are on to something for sure - Facebook has gotten very big.

kimberley replied: i am a facebook junkie.

but tbh, i am not online nearly as much as i used to be. 4 kids in many activities and work is just nuts. but i may be on more now

Calimama replied: Yep, I've noticed the change too.

Crystalina replied:
I'm not a mod but I am a member who used to post ALL the time (I actually think I may have even been slightly annoying? ) but the reason I don't post anymore is because of FB. It's not that I *dont'* want to come in here and post but it seems that most of you are on my FB and I can keep up with you better there. Even if I don't always post on your comments there I ALWAYS read them.

I should be smacked. I really need to start coming in here more but with my Etsy it's hard to have the free time to visit everyones posts. With FB I just open it up and everyone's business is right there in the open.

CantWait replied:
Same here and other reasons.

Mainly thought I'm just so super busy here especially since summer and it hasn't slowed down.
