what is our backup plan for the forums being iffy?

It looks like the domain expired, and things are on and off in terms of access.

Well we all know that some of the mamas wants to make the MD sewing board more active.. I guess I would go there.

Didn't Meg have a board also that we used last time the boards were down?

Here's the IP addy: 209.152.176.119. If you put that into your web browser, you should get to amitymama. or 209.152.176.119/vb/index.php to get to the forums. HTH!

Is there a plan B? I don't mean to sound self righteous, but I cannot personally tolerate MD. The free use of language and tone of the overall forum makes me uneasy and uncomfortable and I just cannot, personally, do it. I realize the sewing forum may be different, but I dunno......

I would miss ya'll terribly.

We could take over the MU sewing forum again.

The sewing forum is MUCH different.. I haven't seen free use of language in that particular forum.. it's basically THIS sewing board, but with a lot less posts/people. Heck most of the S&S's are just cross posted from here anyway.

Except for Summer's beautiful quilt.. glad I checked there this morning.. it's stunning!!

I don't think you're being self righteous. I won't go there, either. And I know other mamas who won't. Fortunately, a better alternative is in the works.

I am in a testy mood this morning so I probably shouldn't reply, but I hate the automatic judgements about an entire other board. Yes, MD is different than it is here, but it is not what many people percieve it as. It has changed a lot. And I love the sewing board there. Every sns gets replies and multiple ones. To me, it feels like this board did when I first came here.

Kristi, different people have different needs. You shouldn't take it personally.

I won't go to MD either. And yes, I have checked out the main boards and the sewing boards there recently, so this isn't a case of judging it by what it use to be. The atmosphere just doesn't suit me.

A few of us are working on another solution though. Stay tuned, we are still working out the bugs.

I like MD too but it's not my sewing home, this is. Thanks Allison for all your hard work.

I didn't mean to offend anyone, and maybe if there was a better way to say it, I am sorry, but I still *really* don't like MD. --- It doesn't mean I like any Momma less for going there or that I think that a Momma's judgement is impaired for wanting too. It is me personally, I just cannot do it.

You know, it is kind of like religion. Just because I won't step into a Catholic church, doesn't mean I hate my husband KWIM? It is just me, my belief system and what makes me feel comfortable.
