I'm sorry for your loss

I made a throwaway email to communicate with anthropologist mom during the last days of UB and I just got a reminder that I had not logged in in X years and it was going to be deleted. I'm going to let it go.

The doxing attempt I recall was months ago, when someone posted the names of 4 women, probably randomly chosen from Facebook but who were actual people and not made-up names. The poster implied that women were the trolls on WBM, including she-who-will-not-be-named. There was another incident when someone posted photos of someone (with a link to her social media site) and claimed it was the same person.

Is it doxxing if the person clearly isn't real?

Can everyone please come to Whybemom? It is like me and a lot of women with college aged kids.

whybemom is still very active - is it not working for you guys?

After Urban Baby there was YOUBEMOM for a long time, then it closed down and there was Whybemom. That closed down too and now there is nothing. Unless there is something I am unaware of other than this site, for which I am grateful.

I wonder all the time what happened to that weirdo Lily. I’m sure that makes me the true weirdo.

Remember this gem, friends?

I haven’t tried it. Honestly, I think YBM community ran its course. No one was funny, every post got flamed, it died for a good reason.

I wasn't there enough.

It’s fine for me. Did you clear your cookies by any chance? I’ve heard people have issues after that.

Ar one point people left Urban Baby for You Be Mom (You Be = UB). You Be Mom shut down a few months ago, but a mom from that forum created Why Be Mom (yes, a there's a theme). It's a live and kicking if full of trolls, but it definitely thas that UB/YBM vibe:
