profmom Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 If so, which ones? I currently don't, but I used to visit FIAR's early on. I guess I've been visiting this one (starting with the old board) since my oldest was in preschool -- about 10 years now! What about you?

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sonlight and Kolbe for me. But not really on a regular basis. However, sometimes, I'll disappear from this board, and be more active at Sonlight. It really depends on which approach takes priority at home.

Mert Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 FIAR for the book archives mostly. Since we're doing this for a couple of years, I thought I ought to hang out there and read up from time to time. I've tried several others (I'm not recalling any names at the moment), but nothing I've come across compares to this board! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 When I first started homeschooling, I joined another forum. It was......interesting. I quit going there shortly after the election. The nicest thing I can say about that board is that it just wasn't a good fit for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb_ Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 My first homeschooling board was on AOL back in the stone ages. They changed their format and dropped their boards and I did without for a while. Then TWTM boards came along almost 12 (!) years ago. Twas love at first sight. We've been inseparable ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was a member of a Catholic forum, well two actually, that have a homeschooling subforum. Interest waned for various reasons. It has been years since I've been to either of those. I was a member of Donna Young's old forum. During that time I did find TWTM forum but I had a hard time following the layout so I only posted once or twice. That one shut down and I was in forum limbo for a bit. Then I stumbled into the new TWTM forum and was here for quite some time. I took a board break for a bout six months and didn't visit any message boards. I came back here and have been posting ever since. I am a member of one other (this makes the third) Catholic forum, but it is a very slow place. Nothing wrong with it, but I don't get there very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) I used to go to the Homeschool Lounge, but people weren't as engaging there and I ended up getting tired of being the person with the most posts. :lol: So anyway, I've been coming here for a few years now and have gleaned a ton of information. I live in a rural area and don't belong to any support groups in real life. The Hive has been the best support group I could ask for, so why go anywhere else?

BeckyFL Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Just this one. Way back when I used to spend time on the vegsource homeschooling boards. I also used to like to poke around a bit on the Sonlight boards. I never used the whole program, but I did purchase things from them here and there. Since they made most of their forums private, it has affected my goodwill towards them I'm afraid. I wasn't a big customer, but $100 at a time once in a while was still business. Even though I wasn't on their forums often, I just didn't like the feeling of being excluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
