In Search Of Websites...

SandySparkles — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 02:15:07 GMT

That have been referenced previously many times here about alternative forums related to this site.😊 One is Pro board something and the other escapes me.They are said to have more options and threads per many posters. I would greatly appreciate any names, and /instructions/information you can share, and would like to know if they are easy to navigate.🥰 I have always been VERY leery because they are said to have less moderation. Thanks in advance!❤

@SandySparkles

here is some information about the offshoot proboards that was created when some got scared that they were shutting down these forums.

Pro Board "Q Forum Friends" Is Working!!!!!!! - Blogs & Forums (qvc.com)

@sunshine45 Thank you for the info ~ I have often wondered about Pro Boards as well.

Less moderation is not always bad, other forums have options to ignore posters
seems to be more nastiness here with all the moderation than other places I read

reddit has a qvc forum

there used to be a fun board on primetimer but it was deleted,

A large number of Primetimer Shopping Channel posters moved to a newly created site after they were shut down. It is very, very active.

But it's not for everyone. Completely open conversations about hosts and guests.

I signed up with ProForums when QVC said they were closing their's. It was OK at first but now I find most discussions there boring. I seldom sign in anymore.

Yes, the moderation is a little more lax but the moderation here doesn't bother me.

I give credit to the ladies who took the initiative to start ProForums.

I SO appreciate all of your responses!💝 This is just the type of feedback I was looking for.🥰 I am hoping to find a dear forum friend that left when rumors of this one closing surfaced. Does anyone know if you can look up specific posters by name? I am still a bit of a chicken, but again, I sincerely THANK you for all your help!❤🤗

@SandySparkles I participate occasionally in the one with "Pro" in the name. The moderators pretty much leave posters alone, and for the most part, everyone is civil. The down side is that there is little activity. In a heading about real life crime, the shooting after the Super Bowl comes up as the most recent topic. Under the topic of recalled products, JIF peanut butter has been out there forever. Ironically, one of the most humorous and active threads has to do with comments about the moderation of this board. It's generally light-hearted and fun, so I know people participate on both these forums.

yes, i remember, but THAT got very nasty at times.....both there AND HERE when stuff spilled over!

@SandySparkles On the one I referenced, yes you can find the posters by the nicname they use. In fact, you can follow specific people and even correspond privately. I'm not a big user so I don't do any of those things, but it's a nice feature. One thing their moderators ask is that you not mention people by their QVC names. So I couldn't say "Sandy Sparkles said she's going on vacation next week. Does anyone know where she's going?"

@SandySparkles

Yes, You can look up specific posters by their nic. There is a 26 page member list that whenever anyone signs in all members can see. There are some that just come and read but never post but it does show that they have visited and the time. You can see that they were there an hour ago at 11:35 or 6 hours ago etc.

Sorry, I did not see AuntG had already answered.

@AuntG Ok! THANK you SO much for explaining that for me!❤ Can we use our QVC nic so we are recognizable?

@SandySparkles

I have the same name here and there. Many of the same people there and some very nice posters, including a few that don’t post here much any longer. Definitely no more hostile than here. 🤣

@They CallMe MRWILKES Can you share the name, or is it an invitation only site?😊
