[quote=Anonymous]Oh, this is a saga! I was on The Bump forum 10+ years ago. There was a mass exodus because they fired the mods. If I remember correctly, the reason was that the company wanted to clean up the forum. Apparently the regulars were all a bunch of trouble-makers who scared away new posters. There were longtime members with a history of in-fighting, inside jokes, etc. so newcomers were put off by the vibe.

One of the mods had seen the writing on the wall and set up an alternative forum we quickly migrated to that was eventually named Then Comes Family. That place was absolutely chaotic. There was a vote for everything - the name, the mods, the logo, the board titles. I finally left when there was this big drama with one of the longtime members/mods. I don’t even remember what it was about anymore. She lied about something, I think, created drama to make some point, and then I was done. I couldn’t take the drama anymore.

I had seen DCUM back when I was looking for childcare recs and thought “Ugh, I don’t like how it’s anonymous.” But now, it’s blissful not to have personalities and a dramatic history tied to each post. I don’t know or care who I’m responding to anymore.[/quote]
