Re-vamping our board

*Mommy2Remington* · #1 May 28th, 2010, 03:13 PM

Our board is SUPER DUPER slow right now...and so I think a 'remodeling' is in order.

I want to jazz our board up by introducing new topics, new forums, new board siggies and new FAQ.
What do YOU want to see on this board? Throw out some ideas and we'll get started on them! I want this to be a place you WANT to go to everyday. I want this board to be a place you come to vent, come for answers and come for friends. I want you to WANT this board!!!
So lets hear it--what do YOU want to see on here?

hmm that's a tough question... I usually do come to check things out everyday I just don't always have anything to post lol. I guess thats the tough part of MFI, there's so much waiting to be done. I will think hard though and come back with some suggestions. Thanks for putting so much into this board Keri! as slow as it's been it's moving so much more than even a few months ago, you are a wonderful host!!

you set it adamsgirl, its all about waiting and hoping. Maybe that could be a room. Something called the "waiting room" where we talk about everything butt ttc. thats the only idea I have.

Thanks Ladies.
I just feel bad. Was talking to Hubby today and was telling him that I feel bad for not posting much on here. And like you said- sometimes theres just not much to post cause everyone is "waiting" ...to O, or to test or AF- I just really want this place to be fun for you all so I am trying to think of new ideas to keep this board fun.
Thanks again for replying and let me know if you have suggestions on what we can do for this board!

we could put some games threads up. A few of the other boards i post on have some games threads on the go. Word games and things like that.

i think the board has been moving a bit better in recent weeks. I come on here a lot more than i used to because there are more new posts to respond to now

ok so I thought of a couple ideas...

we need a sticky or maybe even a forum for vitamins, instead cups, etc. anything that people are trying to up their chances and a resource for a successful vitamin regimen ( I always forget)

also, maybe a thread for an update every day on where you are in your cycle. Even if it's a waiting stage that could be an option...

CD:
waiting to O, DPO, waiting for appt:

I don't know, just something simple that would get people a little more involved, but not add too much work for you.

I know we have a success story forum, but maybe a grads forum would be better, we'd have a place to follow people who've gotten their BFP's, had their babies, etc. and the success story forum is kind of sad since there are not really any recent ones in there! LOL Also, maybe a calendar for appts, birthdays, anniversaries, things like that.

I know I suggested a lot, if you need help with anything I would be more than happy to help you, I am officially on summer break now, so I have some free time!

I haven't been around much - sorry! I started a new job and just don't have time to come online every day. But I'll try to stop in a little more often!
