Yeah, Crazy Club is pretty much dead. WriYe seems relatively active, though...although I haven't been on there much. I'm still trying to figure out how it works.
Oh, my regional board is...tumbleweed. crickets. Blah. It was hardly active during NaNo, and now it's completely dead. =(
I mostly hang around Plot Doctoring...although I read stuff, and rarely write. Mainly I just check the MarNoWriMo threads. =P

WriYe has a lot of fuss as well. It's nice, but there is about too much, can't find anything on it. Oh and I kinda hate the 2012 skin, way to colorful ^_^
Haha, our region is fine, went to like 4 write-ins in my city and the big kick-off and tgio party (our 'region' is like 2 countries haha)
And Plot Doctoring? A board as well? -not that I'm plotting at the moment, but still-

Ugh, I have to agree there. Bubblegum. Pop. HELL. =( It hurts my eyes. Yeah, there's so much different stuff going on there, that I have no idea where to start. Also, everyone else already seems to know what's going on. It's confusing.
Yeah, the Plot Doctoring board on NaNo is still pretty active, because plot holes never sleep. xD

Yeah, can't keep track of the challenges, houses, aaaah. Just like this board, small group of people, you know -sort of- who's who and everybody has random conversations everywhere haha -woops- ^_^
Ah on the NaNo site, yeah don't visit that one much.
Mostly I just travel to a monthly board like this everone. Came from FebNo last month. And one board is more than enough procrastination for me. Only thing is that you loose a lot of people while moving location. But some will return on every one haha.

Oh, but there *is* a Plot Doctoring board...well, an entire forum. xD NaNoPlotMo. I hang around there as well ^_^, since I'm plotting my March bunny over there.
Yeah, WriYe is so complicated! I can't really figure out what's going on with all those groups, and the Genre Cup (? what is that?) and....I dunno, there are just too many places to check through.
I like this board, though. Even though we *do* have conversations all over the place, it's not too much to keep up with, and since it's all the same people, we can easy keep track of what's going on.
Yes, it's true. You do get out of touch with some people, if you move around on a month by month basis, or if they only hang around for one month, but you're still there. =P
One board? Try five or six! -->Me<-- I've got NaNo, NaNoPlotMo, MarchNoWriMo, AoE, WriYe, and 100 Sketches, 100 Days! xD And I'm sure I've left some out!

Yeah heard about that one, but didn't go there, since I'm not really plotting this month -at least I hope not the be plotting and keep writing-
Genre cups is bit like Harry Potter haha. You're in these houses by your -main- genre and get points by writing (reaching your monthly goal, winning a 'Full Moon Madness' etc.), but it's too much!
Yeah like this board as well. There are some nice people on it! That differs per month as well. Some months are really good and others you don't talk a lot with people. And on the NaNo site I'll loose people as well, even though they'll keep showing up, I'll just be in the wrong places haha.
Lets put it this way; I visit one board regularly, that is, one that's writing related. Got quite some boards and social media I check daily. But I barely check NaNo when November is over, check WriYe every now and then and we've started a Dutch year-round board, but that one is really quiet, so I go there about once a week. Oh and we've got a Dutch chatroom, but I visit that one about as much as the board ^_^

Well, PlotMo is pretty quiet, but that's natural, since we just launched it...a week ago. xD I have to hang around that one, because I'm one of the admins, but I really check the rest only a few times a day...meaning refreshing the page. PlotMo and MarNo are really the big ones where I comment on everything, all the time! xD I have to agree...there are some awesome people on this site. ^_^ I hope that most of us will migrate over to AprNo, or something. =P
Oh wow. That sounds way too complicated for me! Heh heh, I'll stick with milwordy. Even though that one has a million word goal, it's a lot simpler. Well...it's so simple that it's dead, but heh. XD
Yeah, it's really hard to KIT on the NaNo site. I mean, you see the same user names over and over, but even if you comment on something, you're just lost in the crowd. It's hard to make friends, without being all creepy and NaNomailing people and saying "Let's be friends! Wooooo!" xD
...ooookay, I think someone needs to hit the sack. =P Derp.

Yeah I turned out being a mod on this one -forgot about it - but haven't seen Mars come in yet. She only cleaned up the board somewhere in January. Hope she'll return somewhere this month though. And I'll try to keep it running I'm going to some sort of AprNo board, so yay!! And it's complicated, that's why I'm not that active on WriYe as well. Tried the PPT, but I somehow suck at those part of boards. I really want to read into this ones somewhere this week though. I just like to have more of a conversation then reply to something ones and just get lost again. And I feel the same. Outside your region there's just too much and it's too hard to make a connection or something.

Yeah, I haven't seen her. She disappeared from FebNo either. I think she's crazy busy with schoolwork. =P
BTW the April Fools site is back up again, so I'll be lurking there (Bobo The Bard). If there's an AprNo board, I'll be up there as well.
Well, with PPTs, I feel like I'm just shouting into the Aether. I like it when people respond, and you can start discussing things in depth, or just having a general conversation. At this scale, it's easy to follow people's progress. =) The Cabins feature of Camp NaNo was kind of awesome in that way, but it was far too hard to have conversations just with that tiny little box.

Agent, there is a AprNoWriMo board that will be available to any who wish to keep in touch through it. It looks a lot like the FebNo board. And the reason for that is ... I'm the admin over there as well. LOL Yes, I'm crazy hosting that many WriMos, but there are some WriMo boards that I just don't like the feel of. I was going to create a MarNo board, but Mars beat me to it. LOL Anyway, if you want to check out the AprNo board, the URL is aprnowrimo.proboards.com It was dead last year, but maybe it'll get some business this year. If it becomes active, I'll be looking for a Jr. Admin for that board. I've never been to the April Fool's board, so I don't know what it's like. Maybe I'll check it out when I have some time.

The April Fool's board is shiny and new, because they just relaunched a new board after the old one was riddled with spammers. It's not dead, though.
I probably won't be able to get into AprNoWriMo until it's out of maintenance mode.

I probably won't be able to get into AprNoWriMo until it's out of maintenance mode. You should be able to register on it even in maintenance mode. It should be opening up soon. I'm having to tweak a few things first.

Yeah, it's in maintenance mode, so it won't let anyone log in. April Fools is pretty empty at this point too. I'm just a forum addict, so this year I'm just lurking everywhere, whether I'm doing the challenge fully or not. :-D ^^ I don't know if I'll be on the Screnzy board, as I'm not even pretending to do one this year. =P

April Fools isn't likely to wake up until probably the last week of this month. A lot of people seem to turn up there when they decide they don't want to do Screnzy but need to be writing something. Of course, that was last year - since then they've had Sheer Spam Attack and I don't know if that scared people off or not. BTW, if any of you are on WriYe and not in Spec, you should know that Spec is totally kicking everyone else's butts right now .
