Yes you are right Yvonne. I saw you had visited. Commenting doesn't take very long there are so few pages posted each day. A few of us are hanging in but it certainly is not what it used to be. Many have gone over to other sites because of all the problems there were here in Oct/Nov. Nice to see you again. Joce xx

I agree with Joce - Its pretty dim at the moment but has been since the problems a few months ago. Us die hard's are still here and weathering the storm . Stick with us Yvonne and all will be well (Hopefully) xxx Madeline xx

Hi Yvonne - nice to see you again. Yes a lot of members gave up on the site when it was encountering so many problems. I'm hoping with time they will return and maybe we will get a few new members. I still love it here and have made some special friends that make it worthwhile hanging in there.

It's a shame really because there are literally hundreds of new members listed over the last few months but no profiles or pages yet!! Lets hope they come through soon eh.

It is alot quieter, hopefully things will pick up now the site is faster. Happy New Year Yvonne!

I wonder, would it help for the new members if we could somehow welcome them ,encouraging them to do pages .
Though I do know that making scrap pages isn't the only reason people join sbf.
I know of one elderly person who joined for the sheer pleasure of looking and voting on our pages .looking at pages helps get through the day , it can help a great deal.but no way can that person put together a scrap page .even if pages are not submitted by them ,would we turn them away along with their comments and votes on our pages which everyone of us appreciates I'm sure.
I would be interested in others comments ...just out of interest.

I am so happy that there is a core of up that have stayed, the other sites just are not the same!
We just have to stay the course, it will get better, if we all try to do challenges, and join challenges and of course comment on the beautiful scraps submitted.
Hugs to you all
Simone

I agree with all above - Joce uploaded a page 12 hours ago its the only one of my friends to upload since yesterday ...... I appreciate everyone has a life to live and cant make pages every day . but in the past I had loads of pages to comment on every day XX ???????

Yes Madeline these days checking out new pages and commenting doesn't take very long. It's so sad. Even some stalwarts, who were hanging in, seem to have deserted us. I know I'm not scrapping as much as I used to - with summer and what that brings - but I do check in and comment every day often to only 2-3 pages. I really don't know what we can do. :( :(

Hi everyone :) just to let you know I have not deserted the site. We went on holiday to the coast for a week and then it was back to work on Monday so I've been a bit busy. I think, as Simone says, we must just hang on and things should improve again. I will not be on here every day during the school term but will pop in when I am able. Have a lovely weekend. xxx
