If you guys want to check out N13, it might give you a better idea. I was a little exhausted when I wrote my post at 1am. Basically, we have daily randoms, sleep regressions, funny things our kids say on our main board. On the password protected board, it's almost like another thread. Once you enter the password in once, you don't do it again. We put meetups, pictures, or just sensitive stuff in there. Typically, someone will just say in randoms "I posted in the group" and we all know what that means and just click the pw protected board.
It's totally your call. I'm just a big proponent of having both because N13 is kind of a special unicorn because we have lasted so long. I think a big part of it is we have had lurkers intro as recently as like a year ago. When we had the move from the other place, we took a couple of stragglers with kids close in age from other boards. I think our longevity is because we have a place for people to intro and get to know us. Once we know them, we give them the password. It's not my call and I'm not sure if I'm making sense (I'm tired, guys!). But I just wanted to give you an idea of how it goes down when you have both.
You guys want me to check back after the holiday and you can let me know what you want to do?

I'm fine with one open board and one pw protected one. It wouldn't hurt to have other posters join in the future.

Cher congrats! I've lurked parenting, was hoping you'd intro! 😘😘😘 I'm here, boo. I'll do an intro post later. I just bought my second rock and play and a bouncer off Amazon because I'm fully in newborn world so I should probably come here sometimes because I'm sure parenting is sick of it.

I feel like with two boards we'd get lost in going back and forth. And we're not that big or busy. I say we do like F17 and just add a tag line - if interested in joining in, please join by sending a pm to x or y for password!

I think I like this idea but I also see the appeal of people being able to continuously join. Also hi Cher! ::waves:: I'm happy to see you here!!!

Except that any random person that comes by and says they want to join will get the pw and be able to access not just the fluffy threads but also the threads with more sensitive stuff (photos) without having "proved their worth" so to speak. Or am I just overly worried here?

I'm good with doing the split board as well. I, for one, am not overly comfortable sharing photos of the kids online to total strangers. I'd post photos on the password protected board with less concern.

It seems that everyone who responded to this thread is okay with adding a pw to our board. The majority also seems to be okay with a split board - one open and one protected for more sensitive stuf? I have asked Cher to create the pw protected board for us and will distribute the pw soon as I get it. We can try out this new set up and see whether t works for us and go from there? Next to that I was wondering, unicornsparkles mentioned a boardmod may come in handy at times. We don't have one currently not specific for our own board. Do we want to appoint someone(s) for this or is the global BMB mod fine?

A password protected board is definitely something I can set up for you.
I need to know who the password holder will be and that person needs to message me with the password.
A PW holder does not necessarily have to be a mod, so if you don't want/have a mod, that's fine.
If you don't want a mod and something happened on the locked board that needs mod attention, you can contact an admin. We do not come on locked boards unless we are needed. (Or we are a legit member.)

Hi Admin thanks for getting back to us and explaining things! We were still discussing the mod thing so will get back to you on that - but for the time being and to get the ball rolling I'll take up the role as pw holder (in hopes that is okay with y'all but I think it is heh) and will PM you with a password. I will also distribute the pw amongst A17 so we can all access it (prolly will do that in my morning so I can do it on the pc rather than on tapa.. less frustrating lol)! ☺

I don't really think we need a mod. We haven't needed one so far.

I don't care if we have a mod or not. IMO, I think muscari would be great as password holder as long as she is okay with taking on that role.

Okay so Admin set up the protected board but for some reason I don't see it on tapatalk. Is that a tapa issue and can no one see it on tapa or is it just me? Also, once I get a bit of sleep and D. gives me a chance I will get on the pc and PM you all the pw!

Thanks cali and alsp jexxa 😊 Personally I think we are doing fine without a specially appointed A17 mod as well and if needed we can batsignal an admin - and of course there is Cher as well who is both the BMB global mod as has a A17 squish as well so I hope she comes play here once the crazy newborn chaos has called down some. I did pick a PW for the private board so we could get it set up and don't mind at all being the PW holder and distribute as needed. But if anyone else prefers or likes take on this role that is absolutely fine as well - I am good either way.

I'm still not seeing it on Tapa...help?! Hmm you don't? So weird! For me it shows up on top of the screen after opening BMB > 2017 > August 2017, above the 2 pinned posts, it's called A'17 Private. It didn't show for me until I posted a thread on the private board though.. maybe you somehow have to renew/reload tapatalk to make it show up? I honestly don't know what's up
