Anyone here remember TBD?

It was mid 2000’s I think and Myspace was still a thing.  Facebook was around too but not the global presence it is now.  Somewhere I came across an online ad for a site call TBD and I explored it.  It was a free forum, much like this site, but I think at that time it was a relatively “new” thing for mature folks to have a place to express themselves and make friends and such.  For a while, TBD was a huge part of my life.  Maybe because at the time, I had no life outside of that.  I was in my 40’s and recently broken up from a serious, although doomed, relationship, and didn’t get out much.  I found several people on that site that were easy to talk to and very welcoming, one of which I’m still close with today.  There were many groups there that remind me of this site’s groups, hence the reason for this blog.  I’m curious if anyone here was also on the now-defunct TBD.

  1. I must admit I have never heard of TBD. I remember ICQ which sounds pretty much the same? MSN Groups is where I spent a lot of time, like-minded friends from all over the world.

  2. I was on TBD for a while after EONS shut down. IMO, EONS was the best senior social media site ever created. NOTH (Not Over The Hill) is an active senior site, but has no where near the members of EONS. FB has turned into the web version of Star or the National Inquirer, I’m on there, but mostly to keep tabs on my family members.

    1. I forgot about EONS! I tried it out briefly but TBD grabbed my attention first. I agree with your take on FB. I use it mainly for the marketplace part. I buy and sell frequently through FB. Thanks for the reply!
