Candybee Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 People move on. Sometimes to other social media and forums. I have to go to several forums to get any action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforbs126 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 People move on. Sometimes to other social media and forums. I have to go to several forums to get any action.Can we name these forums? I like to look at all different things. And right now it helps me get my mind off other stuff instead of just sitting around like I am right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Are you interested in soaping forums? Cause those were the ones I meant; like soapsnlotions, soapmakingforum, thedish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Forums seem to be going the way of the dinosaur. Facebook seems to be the social media event of this decade (so far). And twitter, the media event for twits (imo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 SliverOfWax - love your description of Twitter . I don't have a Twitter account. I do have FB, but don't post much. I'd much rather read the message boards to get info and and questions. I've learned a lot from everybody on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It's also the start of busy season kicking in. Folks are still reading...just not responding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I have noticed the same thing. It seems a lot of the regulars have moved on. Every so often I will spot a username on the home page that I havent seen in ages but no posts or responses. There are so many visitors on this board. It think it would be great if the folks really interested and not just browsing would sign up and join in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammi_552 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm new to this board and am loving all the great info. I can't reply on some boards because I'm on probation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This is just my observation -To me it seems like message board users fall into 3 basic categories:The folks who have been around boards for years and have learned MOST of what they want to know already;The folks who are brand new and seeking any and all information to help them learn new crafts and hone their skills;And the folks who are somewhere in the middle - still new enough to be looking for new products to make and willing to share what they've learned. Without these middle ground folks, boards sort of die off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 We typically get a surge of new posters wanting to start a biz in a hurry in mid to late fall. That will continue to the holiday season. Happens every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will continue to the holiday season. Happens every year. totally agree with Candybee. I have seen it every year since 2003 (on the old board). There are some I was actually wondering where they went like Robin in Oregon?? Where has she been? Haven't seen a post from her in years she was always very helpful and full of knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAgirl89 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm one who doesn't post a lot, but I visit the boards almost every day. I'm heading into the busy season and it just got busier. I just received a large order for favors for an early November wedding. So on top of craft shows & festivals every Saturday now through December, I got this big order to make wedding favors complete with personalized packaging. My first wedding favor order, so I'm excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy, USMC Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I took the past 6 months off from everything. Welcomed the break, too. But recently my cousin contacted me for advice about how to do MP soap with her granddaughter - and then fall has snuck up and I haven't gotten any testing done! So now the vacation is over ... and I'm back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) I sometimes wonder what happened to Top and HorsescentS. Hope all is well with those who have moved on for one reason or another :smiley2: Edited September 19, 2013 by Ravens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetsCandles Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I haven't exactly moved on, but I'm not able to be on as frequently. Health issues for myself and some very stressful situations in the family have made me put a lot of things on the back burner. I'm a bit worried with how the season is going to go because of it.

HayCreekCandles Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 PaGirl that is great news! See I told you it would pick up for you I just got an email from my ex's cousin - in - law (figure that one out! lol) she wanted an updated scent list to place an order for favors for her baby shower. Good news all the way around! Have you been back to Renningers after that one weekend?? Was wondering how you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news all the way around! Have you been back to Renningers after that one weekend?? Was wondering how you did.Thanks! Yeah this bride spoke to me back in July at a craft show and emailed me a couple weeks ago wanting a price quote. She finally got back to me yesterday with an order. I haven't gone back to Renninger's since 9/7. I did okay, it wasn't fabulous but it wasn't lousy either. I won't have a free Saturday to go back, but I'll be making a point to go back at least 1 Saturday a month next season.Congrats on your baby shower order! That's awesome!
