waawo Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 First time since the re-launch that I recall "threads from the last 24 hours" running to two pages. Good to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megustaleer Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Brilliant, isn't it? There were a few times along the way when I wondered if it was worth all the effort, and if BGO would survive. I'm so glad that we (or rather David, who has carried the brunt ) actually persevered. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 First time since the re-launch that I recall "threads from the last 24 hours" running to two pages. Good to see! It certainly is, waawo! The transformation of the board has been far more than cosmetic - it genuinely feels like the grand old days of BGO, which, like meg, I did fear may well have passed for good. I've been over the moon to see old members returning (and there are many more I hope will appear again) and it's been fantastic to see our new sign-ups getting stuck into the board too - it was so frustrating effectively to have the board closed for new members for half a year. Another heartening place to look is 'today's top posters' at the bottom of the homepage, where you get another picture of the rich activity from many people over the past 24 hours. Happy days!

lunababymoonchild Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm pleased to see all the activity too. And getting acquainted with old members, some of whom I've never met before, which is a nice experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Absolutely, wonderful to see how lively it is only downside I am becoming addicted and turning into one of those people who do quick phone checks all the time - not for Twitter or email -but to see if there are new posts on BGO.

Jen Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've been away for a week and there are over three pages of posts to browse - excellent! These posts made me look up when I joined BGO: June 2005, amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 It's quite something to reflect that we only changed to the new board just over a month ago, on the 16th July! Feels like a lot longer, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
