I think most have gone to Facebook. The "Veterans" board here has just about died out. I joined the Facebook triplet group but there's no action there. I think it's more privately oriented.

A shame really. There are so many new triplet moms that could use support from those that have been there!

I miss the "good ole days."

Definitely Facebook. There are a ton of groups. Some are private and some are not. I think I'm part of 5 or 6...

We are all on Facebook now, where there isn't any censorship and the mob rules. It's like the Wild Wild West.

Just some advice for new parents - there is a wealth of information here on Triplet Connection if you search for it. It may seem light on content at the moment, but if you have a specific issue you're dealing with search the database. When this board was active there was information flying around all the time and it's still accessible.

It may not be the community it once was, but there still is the information out there. Search effectively, and you'll likely find it.

I think a lot of them have moved to Facebook like many have already said. I like FB forums better because there is less censoring and I feel like I can get to know fellow triplet parents better. I still pop back over here to give my advice but I no longer ask questions over here.

there was a time when a post was on page 3 by the end of the day! I also think that when your triplets are young (like less than 4/5) you are more desperate to know what works for others, or at least I was. I still come on once in a while but nothing like before. I used to live on this site! It is unfortunate because this forum seriously saved my sanity! The handful of nasty, judgmental MOMs chased everyone away. I do hope the new MOMs can get the board moving again though. I used to find everything on here, from how to keep diapers on to what websites had shoes on sale. It really was great.

I know, its such a bummer TC has gone that way it has, it truly was a lifeline when I was pregnant and when the kids were babies. But I have a been thru the ringer in the last 6 years and I am just not the cookie cutter sunshine and rainbows type of gal anymore. Honestly this forum is stifling and its frowned upon to be real and honest.

Motherhood is amazing but it is the hardest thing I have ever done and IRL there is not much honesty in motherhood for the simple fact if we talk about how hard it is and the challenges we face then we are deemed bad parents, multiply that by 3, its brutal. Frankly having triplets is no joke.........

I enjoy the "realness" of facebook, no one candy coats over there and no one is monitoring to make sure everyone is nice to one another. Adults disagree and when ppl come from so many different walks of life, is it not such a beautiful thing to be able to discuss openly how we feel??????
