WIS0320 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I used to visit MDC a lot but I've come to a point where I realize it was largely more unhelpful than helpful to me. I'm never going to be that crunchy and a lot of times I am more like, "whaaaat?!" when I'm reading over there than anything else. I visit Catholic Answers forum often but hardly ever post there. It is a great place for people of all religions to come together and chat though. I've read some really fascinating threads over there!

GailV Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I used to do MDC, but now my kids are older than most of the chatter going on there. Sometime I spend a lot of time at Patternreview.com or Ravelry. Then again, I sometimes wander away from here for months at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I visit and post on Baby Bargains. I found WTM because of that board because there are other homeschoolers there that suggested WTM. I have an on again/off again thing with MDC but I have never been very active there and am presently in an off time. I found it more helpful when planning a VBAC and when my kids were wee babies. Aside from searching technical forums for answers (example: how to down save from this version of InDesign to that version of InDesign on a Mac when such and such error comes up) I have not participated in other big forums.

A.Balaban Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I used to have my own forum, a long time ago, with a bunch of friends. We would write stories together on a forum. Around that same time, I was on a bunch of different writing forums. I used to go to The Bump, but I stopped. I am going to check out the Catholic Answers forum- sounds like it might be fun. This is the only board I check daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatmansWife Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Back in the day (like 15 years ago), Vegsource was the top spot. Now it just crawls and I never go there anymore (plus my computer always acted up there). Now, I come here at the WTM several times a day. I only pop in on the K-8 Curriculum Board and this General Board. I also check in at Home School Reviews....usually not daily. But only the Homeschooling Discussions room....never the Chit-Chat room anymore. Nope....that place can get down right mean and nasty and my skin just isn't thick enough. That's it. I'm almost afraid of knowing what other homeschool forums are out there. I barely have time for my obsession here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenJewel Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Homeschool Library is my main "home" but I like here for curriculum info.

Sugar Plum Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Homeschool Library is my main "home" but I like here for curriculum info. This is me, too.

Mothersweets Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 WTM is my main forum. :001_wub: I love the fast pace of the boards and how there are so many people of different backgrounds here. I also appreciate how everyone gets along with each other (for the most part :D). AND - y'all have the best sense of humor - so sharp and witty! Next is Ravelry - I could browse the yarn for hours if I let myself! I go onto the SL boards once or twice a month to join in the "What did you read this month?" thread. Maybe once a month I pop over to the Children With Diabetes forum (my 7yo dd is type 1) and see what's new or if I need an answer to something diabetes related. I used to visit Diaperswappers a lot when my youngest was little but haven't gone there in months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for everything there is a season. I also like the The Homeschool Library. Been there since nearly the beginning. It's really what I'd consider my home. But it has been very slow and I've found that the discussions aren't nearly has lively as they are here :D What is MDC?? Besides here and THSL... I frequent an Eastern Orthodox information forum and Weavolution. I mostly go to Weavolution for their projects page. I get so inspired there. But, both of those are mostly a one-topic forum, and I prefer the diverse conversations I get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I used to go to the dance.net forums years ago. I used to go to the Irish Dance boards there! What is MDC?? Mothering.com -- called Mothering Dot Com (or Commune), and thus MDC. It's been around since, wow, maybe the late 1990s? The entire thing crashed in 2001, and had to be totally revamped, so the oldest members you'll see are those who signed on Nov. 2001, but it was around before then. And, yeah, I'm one of the Nov. 2001 crowd, although back in the day I spent more time over at Mango Mama's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staceyobu Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Does anyone on here remember a batgirls forum? I was a member for a while and then didn't post much... then they changed names several times. I wonder if they are still out there somewhere? A lot of people from diaperswappers used to go there. I used to be on diaperswappers, then I hung out on mdc for awhile before and after our last baby. Now I am mostly just on here. I go to car-seat.org whenever I need a new seat to read the latest stuff, but I don't hang out there for long. I sometimes go to mdc if I get a bunch of computer time and can't find anything else to read here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be, but I had to stop since I really dislike the layout of the emails. I'm big on presentation. Part of the reason that I stopped with the Sonlight forums was that their new layout was ugly. I've been on the FIAR forums for almost 10 years, but I'm less active there now. The group there is much, much smaller and there is far less diversity. I go to VideoFitness.com - but am more of a lurker there. Here is my absolute favorite place. :D I love Good Reads also, but that's not really a forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegsource used to be "the" place to go for homeschoolers, but the mods there treated everyone terribly, started banning people left and right for no good reason (I was permanently banned for sharing an ISP with someone who apparently ticked them off over something, even though I did NOTHING), so those who remained abandoned ship. I feel no sympathy at all. They got what they deserved, IMO. Really?? I had no idea. I know things were getting kinda bad, but I must have left before I found out what really happened. It's so odd that it looks today *exactly* as it did back then. You'd think they would have just closed it down completely. So, basically they commited homeschool forum suicide.
