    Ok ScaryMommy members, we have a question for you.

    We need to know what you'd like to keep!

    The Weekly Best of Confessions are chosen by us, the Community Managers (formerly known as moderators). We go through the confessions each week, and pick out the ones that stand out to us, to post in the "Best of" threads.

    The Scaries are chosen by YOU, the confessional users, based on clicks-- "Likes" "Hugs" "Omg me too!"... We go through those each week, and notate the ones with the most clicks, to post here for the board to see.

    We've noticed that those threads don't always have a high number of responses, and we'd like to know if you are all still interested!


    Please take this short survey, and let your voice be heard!

    I always read them too, but I don't think I have ever commented. They are funny and entertaining, but not often really the kind of thing you can have a discussion about, kwim?

    We understand the reasons why people may not always comment. Totally get it!

    We just want to make sure people are still interested :D

    I ALWAYS look out for both! I looove them! They are totally the highlight of my monday! Mostly cause I'm not on the confessional much and I need the giggle! I rarely ever comment, cause I would only be saying 'LOL' every week! Please keep them!

    Always read them both, never comment on them because usually I've clicked my thoughts when I read then in the Confessions. The link worked fine for me too.

    Ditto what the others have said, I read them but don't comment. Maybe a counter needs to be added to tose threads to count the number of times they have been opened ... Like a page counter. Then you would know if they're being noticed or not. Of course, I have no idea if that can be done! Lol

    I also look for both and always read them.  As many have stated...I rarely comment because whatever I'm thinking about the list has usuallly already been posted.

    I don't comment either but I read both. So I vote keep both! But....if it were life or death and I HAD to choose ....it'd be best of.

    I look every Monday for them..

    I rarely comment, but I'm going through withdrawals over here. I rarely have time to go through all the confessions AND the discussion boards. Reading scaries and best of allows me to giggle and not have to wade through all of them
    I prefer not to think before speaking. I like being just as surprised as everyone else by what comes out of my mouth.

    I'd say keep them both- I would guess they are some of the most read threads but not the most responded to because of the nature of the threads. Keep'em both!
