Private board for after the weddings?

AshNoel8 · June 2011

So... I'm getting married in 11 days and I plan on coming back here for awhile after the wedding, but I'm sure I won't be here forever... However, I don't think I could bear to lose you girls as sisters in Christ, prayer warriors and friends! If we created a private board on another site, would you be willing to be a member of it and post on it? If so, do any of you know any good sites that host these types of boards? I know a lot of you already keep in touch on facebook, but I am not into facebook... so, what do you think? You in?

I would love to!! I have no idea of any other sites but I would love to be involved. Keep me updated please!!!

mrandmrsbrist · June 2011

I'm in! I don't know of any sites, though. I could do some research if no one else has any ideas.

AshNoel8 · June 2011

I'll google it too and see what I come up with, but hopefully others on here know of some that are good. There are so many out there and I'm not sure which ones are good and which aren't. Everyone else, keep letting me know your thoughts!

GJones27 · June 2011

Yeah, not sure what there is... what about things like the Nest?

joie424 · June 2011

Is there a Christian board on the Nest? I'm all for this!

SoonToBeGenao · June 2011

Count me in!

LeahVB2011 · June 2011

how did the christian weddings board get started? Maybe if enough of us ask the Nest maybe they would put one up.

Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I kinda prefer to stick around here. Or at leat the Nest.

kellya01 · June 2011

I would actually rather keep it on TK or TN -- maybe we can ask The Nest to provide a Christian Homes board or something like that?

amongthelilies25 · June 2011

ya... the nest seems like a great place! i am totally in!

SuMmErKuTiE · June 2011

Count me in too... it would be nice if they created a board for us on the nest too, but in all honesty most married knotties stick to the knot rather than the nest because the format is better and it's a better environment all around. I do venture over to the nest and post on some of their boards, but it's very different over there compared to here and you'll hear a lot of knotties say on these boards that they prefer the knot to the nest.

So just remember just because you got married doesn't mean you have to leave the knot behind right away and transfer to the nest. How else would any brides-to-be get any good advice from people who have already been there and experienced their weddings? I don't plan on hanging around here forever, but it's nice to know there are plenty of other married knotties who stick around to help out others or to chit chat with those who they formed relationships with during their planning process.

I just posted on the mod board bringing up the idea of a christian board on the nest. we will see where it goes.

The thing about TK and TN is that anyone who has acceses to the internet can see what you post. There are a ton of stalkers on these places, people who never post/ may not even have a SN. Its pretty evident on the nest where you can see how many people look at a thread vs how many posts. Going to a private board means you could limit who can see it to only members and protect your privacy a bit more.

This also means it would kind of be exclusive, people couldn't just join in whenever the wanted/ needed. And I would think that once you get your group together it really wouldn't change much. That can be really good or you could see it as a bad thing.

Just thought I would throw out some points about private boards.

What kinds of horror stories? Could it possibly be worse than some of the things I've seen on TK? We could probably go invade a quiet board on TN. I'm sure there's one out there...

DramaGeek · June 2011

Well, given that I'm still here there's no reason any of you need to leave anytime soon :-P I would definitely hang out on a private board though. I'm actually on from the first time I was on TK - there was no Nest then and we had a mass exodus after the first wave of weddings. We're all still together and have been through multiple board hosts. We ended up buying a domain a year or so ago and one of the husband's handles it for us, since that's what he does anyway.

If someone starts a private board, I would not recommend Lefora. Proboards is the best option that I know of.

It doesn't matter how quite the board is, there may not be many posters but there are a lot of lurkers. a lot. On TN you can see how many people are looking at a thread and it can seriously be 10 times as many as those that have posted. There is a lot of info people are not comfortable sharing on these boards. That is the benefit to a private board. You :"know" who else can see what you are posting.

iamjoesgurl · June 2011

I've been married for over a year and a half and I'm still here. But I'm also the mod.

I don't know if I'd be likely to post on a private board. One thing I wonder is how would people know that the board exists?

AshNoel8 · June 2011

Well it would just be the girls from here and we would send anyone interested the board info. It would be more to just keep in touch with the girls from here who we've grown close to. I'll let you all know if I figure it out.. Or if any of you do, let me know! Thanks!

AshNoel8 · June 2011

Ok, it looks like there are 2 good ones.. My wedding is in 9 days so I probably won't create this until after the honeymoon. I will be back here on TK for a good while after the wedding, but when I do make the private board, I'll send a PM to those of you who said you're in. Thanks for all the feedback!

And Mrsbrist, to answer your question, I have just heard (from a few different people) that some of the ladies on TN are kind of mean and unwelcoming. Not saying they all are, I just heard some of them can be.
