| Yep, OB is my main one. I also go on a couple of others, but none so regularly as OB, except perhaps TradeMe, but I tend not to post on there very often.... |

I know I am a bit older than all you but I enjoy ohbaby I guess that is because I was a Karitane nurse/Nanny and also I visit FB and the seek website and I also really like be in to win for free.co.nz

Ohbaby is the only forum type chat list that I have got into & remembered to go there, i guess cause I was preg & it was always on my mind? I have few other dog breed specific forums I'm a member on but always forget to visit them.
I also have yahoo email chat lists that I'm on as well. I usually do OB & facebook at the same time. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

I use to check my FB first and would check it like 10 times a day. Now OB is number one, and will only check FB 2-3 times a day.
OB is more relevant for me at the monent I guess. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

OB is my main forum but I must admit that I lurked to the 'other side' when the site was slow. Lurk a bit on TM and also another Aussie site but will now just do OB otherwise nothing will be done around the house and the kids will be very neglected! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

OB is the only one in NZ I visit. The other one is an Aus one, so I guess 2 main ones and thats it. I also check FB regularly too. ------------- Our Angel July 08  Gone but not forgotten

Definitely OB, just because it's more relevant to me now. Before I got pregnant I had another unrelated forum that I visited more frequently and now only check it when I'm bored. I've come to use FB a lot more lately. -------------

Posts on TNN: 195 Posts on http://www.parentbook.earthlings.co.nz/welcome.html - parentBook : 5 Posts on http://www.babyledweaning.com/forum/ - Baby Led Weaning : 1 plus lurked at http://www.slingbabies.co.nz/Site/Forum.ashx - slingbabies . Think that answers which one I frequent most often  (and probably says a bit about my parenting philosophies!) Have never really gotten into any non-parenting forums (except for my uni ones, like monikah, but I don't think they count since I'm studying online and have to post in them!).-------------

Has anyone ever lurked on the US based forums? I couldn't believe how technical everyone was. I certainly stick to OB- it's nice to have some down to earth people to talk to when you're TTC

My main one is OB  am on facebook but not the forums. I came over from NZWP after a few of the lovely ladies in there mentioned it.
I "strayed" to other baby sites while OB was soooo slow but I found they just weren't the same and I just didn't get my "fix" LOL |

Totally OhBaby! addict here.
I didnt even know facebook has forums, but do check to keep in contact with whats happening with my contacts at least daily. Still visit the justbreathe forums (pnd support) but not often. Used to be on huggies and a few other parenting boards before I found Ohbaby- 3 yeras ago now. |

This is the only forum i've ever used, didn't know they existed before I found this one 
edited to add: I didn't know FB and TM counted as forums, but I belong to both of them too. FB to keep in touch with friends and see photos etc, and TM to buy and sell things. ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

LOL SammyA - minik8e is my username everywhere - means I can't forget it in a hurry, and I've used it for about 15 or so years now!!!
I use FB a lot, but not as a forum type thing, I do use the TM messageboards and also lurk a lot on The Nappy Network....I did try some other baby ones, but it just wasn't the same. I do still lurk on NZWP a lot, mainly because I'm a moderator so try to keep things tidy over there. |

OHBaby is number 1 for me too!
I have signed up to so many I cant even remember half of them but none of them feel like home. I used to go on the Treasures site a bit and a few other smaller nz mums and bubs sites. -------------

Facebook and OB are the only ones I go to these days.
I used to post on Trade Me but they get a bit heated and OTT. I also go onto the Ladys of Lallybroch forum for Diana Gabaldon book fans. I'm a geek at heart really. |
