While LHC was down, what did you do!?

[nowxisxforever]

While LHC was down, did you find anywhere else to let off your hair-steam, or did you just wait patiently? I went on TBB for a bit and continued going to longhair on LJ.

[redpenny]

I visited The Beauty Bottle a lot just to read the forums since I am not a member there. I also visited a few other long hair websites here and there and I looked at long hair videos on youtube

[silkenblacksea]

I went to The Long Hair Care Forum, and I also visited Long Hair Lovers.
But TBB was my home away from home.:)

[Naluin]

I went to TBB and I spent a little time on Naturallycurly.com

Mostly, I just sort of took a hair vacation. I kept up my routine, but I thought about my hair a lot less while LHC was down. This was a good thing because it meant that I felt less obligated to "do something" with my hair and just let it be for a while. :)

[snowbear]

I had a life. It was weird. :lol:

[Alba-NY]

I had a life. It was weird. :lol:


That is hillarious!

I was living on Live Journal mostly. I googled and eBayed A LOT.
Honestly I have no idea how I made it! I was here all through the day before!

[kimberlily]

I played on TBB :) Then they made me a mod :lol:

[capelli lunghi]

Went to TBB!.. It was a life saver! LOL..

OK.. so I looked at the stats of the poll.. and this is what it says..

Nowhere. I waited patiently. 0 0%
Everywhere! I went on standard fashion forums and told them all about HAPPY hair practices. 2 15.38%
Nope, people IRL got the brunt of it for me. 0 0%
Yes! I went to TBB. 13 100.00%
Yes! I went to longhair. 2 15.38%
Yes! I went to another long-hair forum. [Tell us where!] 2 15.38%


How can there be a 100.00% and three 15.38%'s?.. LOL..

[willowcandra]

While lhc was down I visited the network 54 one a couple of times but mostly I spent way too much time on facebook.:)

[Wikky Grrl]

I lurked TBB boards when the waiting became too much to bear alone - yay for back up addictions!

[eadwine]

I went to net54, and then TBB. It wasn't the same though. Good to be back :)

[Elbereth]

I'm not quite sure how I did it, but I ended up going nowhere! I didn't even visit the other longhair board (Longlocks Salon) I frequent. It was a total break from longhair world for me!

I experienced real life. How weird.

[kettle]

I went to TBB - after about three weeks!! Before that I just refreshed the LHC homepage a lot and actually did some uni work... see you what drove me to, LHC!
I'm now a bit addicted to the skincare section of TBB though. Got a bit into Oil Cleansing and just bought myself some mineral makeup... like LHC isn't enough of a distraction ;)

[Amnell]

I only stayed at my german board.
and damed i forgett all my english.

[tiny_teesha]

went on like 20 hair sites and groups. Checked to see if LHC was working 3 times a day, tell people on question forums how to look after their hair naturally...lol
Not a whole lot of much!
I survived! suprised actually.

[nastasska]

I had a life. It was weird. :lol:

Don't worry you'll feel better in no time:cheese: :rollin:

[blackcat905]

I hadn't been on LHC for a while, but it was down when I came back to look at it so I went to longhaircareforum.com which is aimed at those with afro hair but has some good universal hair tips.

[greek_lady]

I learned about TBB only a couple of days ago and about Net54 a week ago or so. So I mostly stayed out of longhair forums. I did and do frequent a perfume oils' board though, which means I was still on the net quite a bit.

[AprilElf]

I eventually found The Beauty Bottle and registered there - another lovely site that I shall continue to visit. ;)
There was LHC withdrawal, though!
:D

[rhosyn_du]

I hung around TBB a bit, got some work in on my novel, and started filling in the holes in my sewing education.

[zift]

I went to TBB :)but like I usually do I visited the loom as well.

[trollkjerring]

I realised that I have a real life and first it felt very strange but I've got used to it after a few day and could enjoy it.

And I went to the beauty bottle to stay updated but posted only a few times.
trollkjerring

[Alaia]

I still did not have a life.

I went briefly to TBB. I went to Ravelry. I also went to BBC iPlayer but those last two weren't options ;)

[AJoifulNoise]

I went and ran my mouth at TBB. I lurked on the LJ longhair group and the Loom.

[jel]

TBB. I'm not into any other hair/beauty boards... :o

[eresh]

I waited patiently for the return of LHC and continued posting on the Dutch/Belgian hairforum Raponsje (http://raponsje.forumup.be/) :-)

[Feisty Redhead]

I went to TBB. :)

[justgreen]

Ditto Kimberlily.

[Stagecoach]

I guess I had it pretty easy. While I missed LHC terribly I didn't have much time for the comp. anyway.
We decided on spur of the moment to carve out anothe apartment in our main house for renting, so we spent most of the time installing a kitchen, moving all our stuff out, re-painting and moving the new couple in, then cleaning the rental (also one of ours) that they had moved out of so another couple could move into it!
All that didn't leave much time for other things.

[Lillian]

I've been quite busy in real life, so lurked at TBB for a while. Then, when it got to the end of February and LHC was still down and I needed hair inspiration, I signed up and posted a few times.

[Carolyn]

I did lots of knitting and had a ball over at TBB.

[WavyGal]

I did check out the Beauty Bottle. While it was okay, it didn't keep me from longing for the LHC to be back up (pun not intended). I also spent a lot of time at Naturally Curly.com. I hope LHC never crashes like this again!

[eadwine]

I waited patiently for the return of LHC and continued posting on the Dutch/Belgian hairforum Raponsje (http://raponsje.forumup.be/) :-)
Oh yeah.. I did go to the Dutch forum too, yes. Already did before it went down :)

[Unofficial_Rose]

I started a madly busy & interesting but stressful new job so I've been WORN OUT! Was very happy to find TBB a couple of weeks ago 8) as I really missed LHC.

Even happier to find LHC back though - so glad it wasn't down when I was between jobs! :grouphug:

[chelles2kids]

Well I did have my move from North Florida up here to Tennessee to take up part of my time, for the most part when I was missing LHC, I visited TBB.

Thank goodness we all had somewhere else to go, to wallow in our misery!:p


Michelle

[teela1978]

I visited TBB a bit, but not a whole lot. I watched the entire series of Lost (all seasons are online... who knew?) which was an excellent procrastination technique, and I had a very successful committee meeting despite my spending hours watching tv on my laptop.

[psvzum]

I lurked at the Beauty Bottle and googled other hair care forums-none come close to this one : )

[Patrycja]

I did awhole lot of annoying people on the TBB(haha).I posted almost 300 posts while I was there.Had no life and I plan to continue that with LHC again :D

[Laululintu]

I lurked on TBB occasionally, but mostly I read lots of fanfic, and browsed Etsy like mad.

[nappywomyn]

I started my own hair blog, and hung out a LOT on LHCF..... :lol: I'm so glad it's back!

[suicides_eve]

whew! good thing there was the TBB, i was going nuts

[Remke]

I went to TBB and I was like always on the Dutch/Belgian hairforum Raponsje

[nowxisxforever]

Went to TBB!.. It was a life saver! LOL..

OK.. so I looked at the stats of the poll.. and this is what it says..

How can there be a 100.00% and three 15.38%'s?.. LOL..

You can pick more than one answer, so most likely it's saying everyone said they went to TBB, and the three 15.38% were...well, 15.38% selected vs. not selected. :]?

[nowxisxforever]

I learned about TBB only a couple of days ago and about Net54 a week ago or so. So I mostly stayed out of longhair forums. I did and do frequent a perfume oils' board though, which means I was still on the net quite a bit.

BPAL, perhaps?

[Amoretti]

I started a new Blog at TBB because I was going through withdrawal symptoms. LOL.

[rhubarbarin]

I took a break from hair forums while LHC was down. Nothing could compare to it. But, I got addicted to fashionspot.com. I don't really talk about hair there, though.

[Elle]

I went to a private board and hung out there most of the time. Recently I joined LJ for the sole purpose of catching up on another LHC friend's journal. Other than that, I worked quite a bit. I haven't been this productive in ages! I always feel fantastic when I'm creating/designing. http://www.swimmingwithmothra.com/images/public/HappyHappy.gif

[Lixie]

I posted quite a bit at TBB and played the Sims more often than usual. Sad. ;)

[Mahars]

I went to TBB too. I'm not a member though so I just lurked. I also went to long hair loom. I kinda like the loomies. They're a fun group.

[Mahars]

I went to TBB and the longhair loom. It was fun but not the same.

[Mahars]

For some reason I was re-directed and had to type the same thing again.

[*Elvina*]

I voted for everywhere because I always go to the fashion spot and some purse forums/blogs. However I also visited the BB and other various hair forums, even one in French. But I still think LHC is the best!

[Starr]

I poked around TBB for a bit, but I actually didn't spend half as much time online as I normally do. . . weird.

[Nightshade]

Took me a few weeks, but I did make my way to TBB eventually.

[csdearl]

Although I tired to get into TBB I just couldn't seem to. I ended up finding a Vegan/Vegetarian website full of recipes and there is a forum there as well. I am glad LHC is back but now I have to sites to waste time on.

[Wanita]

Went back to TBB. Actually made it past 50 posts. :p
Joined Ravelry. Learned to knit simple stuff.
Learned how to make a Meez.

[herbgurl82]

I hung out at TBB, but not too much, because work was rather busy.

[Melisande]

I lurked at TBB (somehow my registration didn't get through, I never received the activation mail but was content to read and lurk), and I enjoyed the German longhair forum Langhaarnetz (http://www.langhaarnetzwerk.de/phpBB2/index.php), much recommended.

[ilovelonghair]

I waited... not so patiently :p. Kept checking if the forum was back. I only discovered it was back by going trough an old link, because the regular link still doesn't work.

[Shorty89]

I went on TBB and looked at dressytresses and longhairloom for hairstyle ideas. I also spent too much time on IRC, althought I got to marry skitts, and talk to Mira-chan on the phone.

[Sapphire'sWings]

I went to TBB and tried to get interested in other sites. Other sites really are not this cool. As for long hair sites, I went to a few of the more familiar ones a couple of times. I think the topic of hair is nice but what attracts me to LHC is the community of fun and diverse people rather than just hair talk. :D

[Haith]

I went to TBB, but I just lurked. I checked the 'LHC Update' thread almost every day. So happy to be back!

[Curlsgirl]

I went to the Beauty Bottle and formed a new addiction :D

I also ate a lot of chocolate. :eek:

[Wavelength]

I thought of heading to TBB, but I never seemed to get around to actually doing it. I didn't have TBB's link saved anywhere.

So I waited not-so-patiently. However, my WoW guild has over 100 people now, and I levelled two characters to L70. I guess that explains how I spent my spare time. :p

[purplebubba]

I went to TBB, Loom, and other sites including mine.

I attended an LHC meet that was planned out at TBB.

I played Sims 2

Not much was different from before except not being able to see LHC.

[addikted]

Went to TBB, thank goodness I found that!

[hrimfaxi]

I lurked on TBB and longhair. I didn't post, though.

[zaftig2k]

I spent some time on TBB. There was a group of us LHCers that also started a forum at the Ravelry Boards, so we can post there as well. Ravelry is a huge online knitting and crochet community. Fortunately, it seems that most of us stayed in touch with each other.

Needless to say, I got a lot of knitting done. :)

[JKRBeloved]

I lurked some on TBB, but the day I got my validating registration email was the day LHC came back online!

[Minx]

I moved house and country between on February 4th.
I've been busy busy busy. It may seem strange but I didn't realise the forum was down until after I moved in my new place!!

[Yamale]

I was at the german long hair site. But that is nothing speacial 'cause I'm a member there since july last year ;)

[Darian Moone]

I hung out at TBB a bit. :)

[Shannon4J]

I went to TBB for a while, then I stopped posting & reading. I didn't even know LHC was back up until last night when someone requested me to be a friend!! I got busy with other stuff.

I feel like I was blindfolded and put into a room with the furniture re-arranged! I'm feeling my way around & trying not to trip on anything! LOL

[HerbalAnnie]

I went to work. I went to school. I took Alatariel to dance. I wrote a lot on my blogspot blog. I even had conversations with hubby! I didn't turn on my computer for days! I cooked!! I cleaned!! I had the piano tuned and started playing it again!! I lost 15 pounds!!!

Now my butt is glued to the recliner......

[SearMeCarefully]

Network 54 to figure out what the crap happened lol then I somehow wandered into TBB for awhile.. mostly lurking though

[MercyD]

I let go of hair forum obsession and checked out a raw foods forum I used to frequent.

I just commited to healthy hair practices and waited for this one to come back up.

[vindo]

Another Forum. I have an own private (very small) Forum with some german longhaired friends...we just chat about hair the whole time basically.

I tried accessing TBB but had and still have problems with logging in and the page freezes on me somtimes..:(

[Gutterfayrie]

I hung out on TBB a little bit, read the LJ long hair community, but spent most of my time on a diabetic cat fourm because I found out my cat was diabetic about the same time LHC went down.

[Gladtobemom]

The Beauty Bottle was great, but I spent more time on my Watercolor Painting Blog too.

[DecafJane]

I got so caught up with uni that my hair grew while I wasn't paying much attention because I wasn't thinking about it - to a point where I now wear it in a ponytail every day! So happy! Next goal is pony tail without 10 bobby pins holding the side and top pieces in place. :cheese:

[TheStorm]

What did I do without LHC???? Um. Played games instead, took up Dressmaking & crashed my car.

[Sophrosyne]

I voted "nowhere". I waited patiently. :) Real life got kind of busy for me anyway, so it ended up being good timing. Very glad the site is back up and running now though!

[mugglemomof3]

What did I do without LHC???? Um. Played games instead, took up Dressmaking & crashed my car.

Crashed your car? Sorry to hear that. What happened? :drama:

I did a bunch of research on Google and Wikipedia - played around with my photography - and visited some of the other sites I've neglected lately.

And bugged my IRL people more!!! :cool:

[Neon Gloss]

I was wondering about in ignorance. I just found this place a few days back--how long did the downtime last?

[Gumball]

I pulled a combo between waiting patiently and babbling to those around me who indulge my need to talk about hair. I did visit TBB, but as a lurker just to check on the status of the site (so I'm pretty sure it was patiently waiting). All that waiting paid off, but it was a tough spam of forum-less time.

[EbonyCurls]

I started hanging around Nappturality.com. They have alot of the same haircare views as here at LHC.

[growingitlonger]

I did some decorating, watched telly, browsed aimlessly and felt a bit sad. I thought the site had gone down for good!! We need a sort of cascade notification system for emergencies!

Had I known about TBB I would have been there, for sure!

[kwaniesiam]

TBB, and I still go there now.

[Cactus Jack]

I researched hair styles and hair styling on other the web sites and did some practice sets. Glad to have the LHC site back...looking forward to getting my files back. Thanks Moderators for all your hard work.:)

[HairColoredHair]

Went stir-crazy? And apparently, after it's come back up, I cannot access it on my main computer... Which is fine... cause my new one came today! :cheese:

[Mina]

I chopped my hair :silly: .

Well not exactly, I had a 4 inch (unfortunately, much needed and necessary) trim :).

[MadHatter]

I went to TBB.

[Sarahmoon]

I browsed Long hair Loom from time to time to look at pictures of long hair and updos. I didn't join.
I went to TBB too once but didn't really like it.

[CaityBear]

Well, I checked out a few other long hair forums, while checking and checking to see if LHC was back. lol

[xrosiex]

I went to TBB. And I really liked it there. But there is no-where like here. TLC is the best.:)

[ladystar]

I click on the link 100 times till it came back and yea what snowbear said. lol :hooched:

[BonanzaJB]

i joined the Soap Dish Forum and started making soap! i´m hooked :)

[HappyHaley]

I spent a little time on the Long Hair Loom, reading mostly as I do here.

~Haley

[Jorchet]

I voted that I went to TBB. I kept going to NC.com, since it's one of the forums I like the most - great for curlies! - and through which I came across LHC. :)

[Nynaeve]

I voted both nowhere and people IRL got it from me.
I took several "extended" vacations from LHC before it went down due to internet and computer, etc issues, so I didn't even know it was down until I got my net back up and tried to log on, and the site wouldn't come up. :(
I honestly didn't even know about TBB, and didn't have the net to get there anyway.
I don't really know of or care about any other long hair sites anyway because I love this one so much.
My DBF and friends got the brunt of it from me. :D
My hair.... was not happy at all though.

[intothemist1999]

Today??? FRETTED!! :D

[WritingPrincess]

I took a break from the longhair world, and spent a lot of time lurking at the NaNoWriMo forums. I just continued my daily routine, and my hair got to tailbone length. I never did make it over to TBB. :shrug:

[DrkAngel]

I started preaching to my friends about haircare. :soapbox:

[Michiru]

I just remember that I went on Naturallycurly.com as well as TBB so I guess that would change the results a bit. I only voted on TBB

[Strands]

Wow I didn't know that there were so many sites for hair forums. I feel like i am entering a whole new world lol

[Strands]

Does this site go down frequently?
