We need to sort this out before this site shuts down tomorrow. Someone started nycitymoms and it looks great. Haven’t posted...but looks easy to read. Another person is working on UrbanBaby.net. But I think she has a newborn, renovating house and I so appreciate her doing this for us. I don’t want to step on her toes....but if nycitymoms is up and running ...shall we go with that? YouBe Mom just is not user friendly to me...and DCMoms was so nice to welcome us — but just not the same. I do appreciate all you guys have done to keep us going. Thank you! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

be careful signing up for NYC moms, there is a way you can inadvertently sign up with your facebook account (almost did it!). Also, if that mom threw the site up, it might not be scalable or might be vulnerable to the spam situation. [ Reply | More ]

I'm the mom that made nycitymoms site. I just disabled the facebook and google login. And I'll try to moderate for spam. As for scalability, we'll just have to see if people actually join. I can invest time if enough people are on it. Keep the suggestions coming! [ Reply | More ]

Can you be anonymous when posting and would you always require to show user Id like in reddit or citydata. Also will you moderate people using profanity as urbanbaby allowed it and youbemom definitely doesn’t moderate [ Reply | More ]

I like it better, it’s fast moving. Topic is quickly discussed and abandoned and off everyone’s radar. Easy to log on and leave with short conversations if you are busy [ Reply | More ]

I agree with OP we have two moms who care enough to do a lot of work to give us a new home and we may as well all jump to one new spot together. I actually love the idea of keeping our community alive and cohesive in one new place and this site may shut down at midnight tonight. [ Reply | More ]

I agree with OB too. If we all spread out over 3-4 sites, the UB crowd will be no more. [ Reply | More ]

Yes I second this. Lets all decide one site to keep the original UB intact [ Reply | More ]
