There's nothing wrong with asking Barbie questions on the Doll Board, and never has been. There's a group of very knowledgeable Barbie collectors who've contributed to the Doll Board for many years, and who are still there. As far as I know, no one ever felt the need or asked to separate from that board.
My understanding is that when eBay closed down the chat boards, the folks who were on the Barbie chat asked for their own separate board, and so eBay created this board for them. But by that time the chat group had formed their own group elsewhere, so for the most part they never embraced their new board here. I don't think that's unusual or surprising, since if someone preferred to chat on a chat-style board, a threaded board like this one wouldn't be a good replacement.
I so often see people telling posters here to go to the Doll Board for help, and threads similar to this in which the person is apologetic they've been posting on the "wrong" board.
Just thinking out loud, but it makes me wonder if it would be better, more helpful, and less confusing for sellers who need Barbie help if there was just one Doll Board again?
