Where Have All The Pregnant Peeps Gone Pg1281550492

I first discovered this website 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my son. This was a happening place with tons of posters, and it there was a real sense of community. I only stopped visiting the site when I my son got older, and I got too busy chasing a toddler to be a part of the online family I found here. Now I’ve come back, because I’m expecting again, and I’m wondering, what happened?
There doesn’t seem to be as many active people on here, and with the exception of the tons of “am-I-pregnant-please-help!” type of posts, there is very little interaction. I keep coming back each day, looking for new content, and there isn’t any, and posts I’ve made go unanswered. Have sites like Facebook and Myspace taken over? I mean, are pregnant women talking to their friends about their pregnant problems instead? Is there another site I should be visiting? There are a few frequent posters out there, and I’m happy and thankful for the few who take the time and effort to try and post answers. I guess I just wish there was more of that going on.
I’m going to post this on a couple of different forums, in an effort to get different responses. Please, take minute, tell me what you think about all of this, recommend other internet pregnancy communities. Your responses will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hey Mommosita,
I agree. I started coming here over 2 years ago (heck, maybe closer to 3 years)when we first starting trying. This site has walked me through a miscarriage and an ectopic BUT, that was from older posts.
I do agree and I keep wondering if there are just SO many forums now or what. OR, did those that conceive get too busy (such as yourself) and aren't trying right now? I know in between our trying I wasn't as active on here and I know many people seem to prefer lurking vs. speaking *shrugging shoulders* Those are my best guesses.
I wish I knew the answer. Grandpa Viv seems to be the only one always here.

I also agree..this forum helped me through my two pregnancy and 5 losses..and it seems like there is not action at all here anymore..kind of sad really. I think this board is not easy to access people just don't know how to get here..back in 2005 you didn't even need a user name or account to post..I blame the site itself..
I hope that they can this..and do something about it.
