For those who like to write here are a few address's to get you started:
William C. Weldon, Chairman & CEO
Johnson & Johnson

New Brunswick, NJ 08933
United States
AND
Tina Sharkey, Chairman
Becky Scott, VP Administration & Finance
Ann Crady, Senior Vice President of Consumer Experience
BabyCenter
163 Freelon St.San Francisco, CA 94107
United States
Also a post on BBC from Ann Crady, creator of mayasmom, the site the new and "improved" BBC is based on. As you can see from above she has a nice new shiny door plate at Babycenter:

And if all else fails we need to really get them to listen. They can ignore emails, letters and posts, but they can not ignore real action. I am proposing a BBC "strike" if they continue not to listen or give us any real answers. 24-48hrs of no one posting, clicking or going to BBC at all, that means lost revenue to them. Sometime a threat to the pocketbook is the only way to get someone to listen.
Here is a link to a blinkie you are all free to use!

Thanks for the link. I will pass it on!!! ITA that something needs to be done.
I have been thinking a boycot may be "heard" ... if no one goes to the site (I think a ton have left already) then maybe they will listen?
I wish the people on the "beta" or "alpha" site would boycot - it sounds like it will be months before boards will have the opportunity to reconnect and it sounds like ton have fractured already.
Thanks for the link. Yeah, I think the biggest issues would be getting people on the new site to boycott. They seems to be comfortable over there...no matter what they're saying. Otherwise, wouldn't they be back already? I know my birth board is dead.
Hey guys,
We so admire your passion for our community. We hope we can win you back! But we also 100% respect your right to "vote with your feet" and choose to boycott BabyCenter's site.
I agree, a boycott of the testing site needs to be done. I don't think they care about the "older" site. Which is a shame. It's also a tad strange that a mod can make it over here to leave a comment on here but can't answer our questions as promptly on bbc.
Thanks!! I agree!
Rebeecca, I am rolling my eyes at you. You know how to win back those who are so offended, but you obviously don't really care to win anyone back because if you did, you would be answering questions that were asked question by question and not giving us vaguisms instead of answers.

I don't know how effective it will be, but I have an invite and can stay away from the new site. I wonder what would happen if I post your blog link over there? Want me to try that?

invites have been disabled.
Anyone may link to this blog from wherever you wish! I have someone creating more blinkies that I will post tomorrow.
I see Rebecca is on pseudo-damage control. I used to admire her in her way of dealing with the Dealing With the Inlaws board. Now I have no respect for her at all. Grow some balls and answer the damn questions!

Fight the good fight!
I agree w/ someone else that said the old BBC should be kept up & running & the new could be used for networking. I don't see the new site w/ any info like the old/favorite site does.
I would love to use the blinkie but cannot get it to work. Can you repost it? Thanks!
I think the strike would be the most effective way of demonstrating how many don't want the change.
Anyone else see a restraining order in your future?
Find something better to do with your time. It's a message board!
Wow, just wow.
Do you really think that this is going to do any good??? Its a message board for crap sake. If you don't like it, deal.
LOL Are you all for real? WTF is wrong with this world that you're taking on the cause of "saving" a dinosaur of a message board?
OMG! Get a life, shut up and find a new board.
LOSERS!!!!
OMFG I think you all need to grow up and find something better to do with your time. Pissing and moaning about the new site isnt going to change anything.
freaking crybabies
