So, uh, what the heck happened in the last 48 hours?

seriously. I think I'm going to throw up from the perfect answers now on our BMB.... the girl talking about her size and not looking pregnant... I wanted to punch her in the face. Your answers were SPOT ON. I'm so proud of how you handled it... I had to walk away or I would have went ape shit on her bratty fucking self.

The only think I could think to say to her was that no one would tell her she was fat. Because honestly, even if we all said she was a goddamn moron for her post, I highly doubt anyone would have actually said "you know what, sugartits? you actually do look a like a chubby bunny. slow it down on the fruit snacks, would ya?"

I'm glad I'm not the only one that was thinking this! I had to walk away because I couldn't decide what to say to her and be nice at the same time.

The stupid is invading.

I just lurked for a little bit over there and OMG!! I wanted to pull out my hair! It has to be a trap! I just wanted to be like STFU!! Can't tell them SS's to fuck off anymore.. I just can't even.. (Wish I could do a really awesome GIF right now but I am pretty tech dumb.. And on mobile.)

[maddib]

I was just on the May 15 board and the first two pages are all "24 hours of silence." Are they doing something clever there??

[mmo2112]

Honestly, everything feels like a trap.

But then again, I kind of doubt the mods/admins have time to clean up things like snarky gifs today. Seems like they have bigger problems on their hands.

Lurking on parenting, I found some interesting info here: goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/319/call-senior-manager-update-results
(Someone had a call with a PR person at the XO group; details of her call are on p.2. There's also something on p.3 about changing leadership at XO, but it looks outdated.)

I don't know how much more I can take of it with out busting out some gifs for the special "OMG AM I FAT GUISE??" snowflakes. 



Also the girl asking us if her kid has down syndrome based on her ultrasound. REALLY?

[laurenlou83]

I have seriously only looked in 3 threads all day over on TB J15, and that's the one all the regulars who are still lingering over there are posting in. I can't handle the crazy and stupid right now.

[awheeler]

[caseyathebat]

I'm seriously about to loss my shit over there. What in the fuck is happening. It's like all the special snow flakes saw that tou thread as a bat signal and came out of hiding. That thread about guessing if her baby has down syndrome. Really ..... really.

[Stormy61]

Omg I popped in to see how things were going on TB. Wow! parallel universe??

[pickles]

There were a little over 500 people members on here last night a now there's over 2k….that's insane…a lot of pissed off ladies

It's true. One even quoted the guidelines on an repeat post about baby movement.

I just read that. I'm really trying, I am, but it's getting harder. I seriously couldn't stand the do I look fat post. Ridiculousness.

[blasto!]

What in the actual fuck? I'm afraid to go back.

[pickles]

After those bullshit posts I have a case of the "fuckits" in regards to my future responses.

[maddib]

Holy crap the parenting board is posting tons of gay porn.. They are hijacking the new feel of the board from puppies and glitter farts to gay Larry porn.. And it's also on bump mays wall. Lol it's like a train wreck.

[mrskblack11]

Someone should mail the bump some glitter.

[tahitiandreamin]

There's a thread somewhere from someone that spoke with a PR person about what was going on and was told something to the effect that this was just the beginning of the pain. Could be an interesting show to watch...

It's on parenting. They've also got a Twitter campaign going that's been noticed by both a huffington post blogger and gawker. That info is in the "hit em where it hurts thread"

Thanks.  I came across it last night but was so close to sleep that I couldn't remember what I saw where.  I think that after seeing the gay porn thread on TB my poor brain just shut down from overload!

***oh hey! we can quote box fail here, too! #justlikehome***
So, the 24 hours of silence is on a few boards, and it's a protest (more or less) to recognize the users who got permabanned in the happening.

[gilder40]

I looked for the "hit em where it hurts" thread today, and I can't find it. Was it under a specific section of the parenting boards?

"a few bad apples" definition (n. plural)  a group of persons who have been established leaders in the community for years who have vocalized a disagreement with the current leadership personnel.

Pretty sure that's straight from Stalin's book of "How to win friends and influence people."

That thread is insane, but they definitely seem to be deleting posts, like the one with that image. Nice.

[headisbest]

I can tell you J15 right now is being overrunned by seemingly new ads. I suspect that they are spies trying to get some of us to snark with the level of stupidity being posted and thus be banned.

Kids are running the show and my head hurts because of it. *slow clap*

The stock graphs people are posting are the icing on the cake.
