I keep missing our WOF anniversaries... we made it to 9 years... 13 days ago!
(A couple of those years we bounced back and forth between this one and the OG WOF before that one was completely gone lol so it's like an on-again-off-again relationship where they still say they were together that whole time )
Its so rare to find a supportive and friendly online community these days . So I raise my glass ( well, tea cup) and salute all the members and mods who make this place so special..

Some forums seem to have swallowed up the women's community side of the internet, and they can be just plain nasty.
*Clink* Well done admin, mods and members

Out of question, how long did WOF exist before this site?
Last Edit: Jan 23, 2024 9:19:24 GMT -5 by chamomile: fixed emojis so that they show up nicely like a row of friends celebrating (which is what we are XD)
It was good, and a lot of fun. It improved a lot when Heather and I took over the moderating.
The only problem was the owners were not all that interested as it wasn't making much money for them. He did at least tell us he was shutting down the site and selling up.
Of course this site is far superior now, because it is run by women, for women. Heatherly, is the site owner, and does a really good job of looking after us and the site.

Yeah, the moderation on here is great.
May I ask what sort of company/group owned the site previously?

Happy Birthday to this wonderful forum ! I am happy to have discovered all of you ! An English speaking Women Only Forum ! Fine ! My vocal software seems to get used to it : it works more normally today. All my love to all participants. xxx
As far as I know there was stuff on the OG WOF as far back as 2012 maybe even earlier, found out about the OG WOF a few years later, do miss the OG WOF, there were a few more moderators too, don't know what happened to them assuming they just left after it was sold and I found out the OG WOF was owned by a man, the irony of that though

I found the old site on web archive, and this one is much more better visually.
It's also quite obvious by the blog posts circa 2010 that a man created the site
2016 seems more new WOF style, but 2006....?
Gosh the categories from 2006 too!
Useful articles for all women
We are doing our best to offer you a lot of interesting articles to read about women issues. You can read them and why not, share your own views.
Health and fitness From good diets till ways of leading a better life.
Style and beauty Some good cosmetic products, clothes, everything that makes us look and feel great.
Family and house What's a woman without a home and family? Here we can discuss about all aspects of being a mom and wife.
ROFL
If I had to choose between the old WOFs, it'd be 2017 old WOF.
The proboards incarnation is SO MUCH BETTER in lots of ways! I like the shoutbox, the text size, lack of garish pink (this violet is just perfect), the themes, the categories, the fact that this WOF is run by women...

lol I felt the same way. Hated how it looked, and hated how stereotypical a lot of it was because it was created by a man.
Although we borrowed a lot from there, we definitely added more along the way. I had to have a science-themed area! xD I find purple to be a bit more neutral, but still can be a little feminine. There are a lot of other themes to be used, though, for anyone who doesn't like purple ;p

2006 was like pink vomit though
I love the purple - I also love the other colour options and it's nice to have them
