Is anyone here active over there? Just here or check in on both?

I look over there every once in awhile, but doesn't seem as interesting to me. Also my "old" friends seem to be HERE.

I like both forums very much and read and post on both.

Edited to add: The Q has already mentioned shutting these forums down in the past, and if they are cost cutting these forums may be on the cutting board in the future.

This is the only "social media" site I use. Have no desire for others.

I use both. Currently prefer Q but Pro boards is my insurance policy.

@Shanus I check The QVC Forums everyday. I check Proboards occasionally.

If QVC shuts down this Community, I am good to go at Proboards.

Yes...I'm active at both places. There are more people here and I like that aspect of it but there are different topics at ProBoards which I also like.

I go onto Proboards every once in a while-I like it well enough, but just seem to use the Q boards more!

I forgot how to find the QVC board on the proboards.

@Shanus I take a look once in a while, too....but I find the Q forums easier to navigate.....and more like "over the back fence" chat. di

ONLY HERE. I have never gone to the other. I think if this is shut down (which would be so foolish, but that's another topic!) then I'm not sure if I would move to the other. I would miss a lot of people here, which MAY prompt me to do so.

Good morning @Shanus . I am with @kaydee50 , this is the only social media I use. I like the people on here , the stories, advice and even the drama at times....LOL! I am not a social media person but I do enjoy the company here. DH and I are very much under the radar type of people. Good question though.

I would not be surprised if we come here some morning and these forums are gone.

That is what I think too. After all the uproar when they announced the closing a year or so ago, I think they will just quietly close with no warning.

But who knows....🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I bookmarked the site back when it seemed Q's boards were getting the ax. I never signed up, though. Not sure if I would continue with that site or not. I like it here.

@4kitties - Exactly what I thought, when we heard about Carolyn and Dan being let go, along with the other lay offs. This board is probably an expense the current PTB don't think they need.

I wouldn't be surprised, if one day it's just gone with no warning. It will be FB or nothing. For me, that would be nothing as far as QVC is concerned.

I wonder why this subject keeps coming up. There are lots of chat boards out there. This and the Pro Boards are but two. I am active on both of the two boards. These boards are more active but those boards are more freewheeling with less unreasonable control being imposed, less editing, far fewer disappearing threads and so on, and yet conversations remain largely civil and appropriate. Both sets of boards have their navigational pluses and minuses. Discussion there tends to be a bit broader whereas discussion here often relies on the trivial, largely due to content restrictions imposed here. That, by the way, is not a judgment, merely an observation based on personal opinion.
