Ok so i've gota ask, who is this bumpmay? Shes acting like a total cunt. I've been reading a thread on August 15 where she only responded to a post where someone was agreeing with her and those who disagreed with her (didnt violate the new TOU in any way) just said they don't agree, have been banned! What the actual fuck? Who is this bitch on a power trip?

So, from back when shit hit the fan on SAHM, it came out that Bump Jackie, who has been with TB since before time.  (I mean, I don't really know when, but a long time) left a while ago, and was replaced by an intern who kept the same screen name and "pretended" to be Bump Jackie (hmmmmm impersonating a Bump employee....think that falls under the new TOU....).  When it came to light, she changed her name to Bump May.  I'm unclear as to whether she is currently an employee or an intern, but she's a kid in the vast scheme of things.  (When I joined TK back in '05 it was being run by women in their 30s, which I only know because my friend's older sister's friend was involved).  Bump May wouldn't have even been in high school at that time.

Thank you for sharing! I've wondered this for a long time.

Also, the last time there was an exodus like this, I couldn't keep up with the spin-off board. I hope to stick around this time, though.

I'm here, too, though many of you probably don't recognize me from J15; I was in lurker transition mode when BumpMay started this BSC cleanse.

If you feel like browsing a thread that will make your jaw drop, take a look at 'hilarious' in August '15. It is less hilarious and more horrifying than the title suggests.

I'm sure this has been said 8K times elsewhere, but I'm gonna rant anyway: This is such a stupid, shortsighted business decision by TB. TB had a culture, and people lurked because there was a culture--and there was community. And guess what, TB? Lurking = traffic. We had posts with thousands and thousands of views and countless replies. Find that kind of community (again, for TB, read: TRAFFIC and BRAND LOYALTY) on babycenter. I hope someone with a little more business sense takes this into account.

Anyway, back to my hello/intro. I'm here, and I'm sticking around in both locations for now.

EDD 06/23; FTM. I'll figure out a ticker one day, but it took me 15 weeks to do it on TB, so I'm not holding my breath.

I'm here...and there...and possibly on FB, but still undecided. I hate that you guys are all split, but duuuude TB is up in flames. Especially after BM responded to ONE poster who was all excited about the new TOU, but now parenting is basically gone...it's a clusterfuck. Hey, look, I can say fuck!

Bumpmay has been banned! Can I get a ding dong the witch is dead?!

hahaah TB just went down for "maintenance"

[laurenlou83]

TB is down for the count. What the actual fuck is happening ...

[emilyzemily]

Mines back up and running now, I thought for a minute i'd been banned

[littlegrapey]

TB is working for me currently.

[jbartsy]

I'm here, but I'm not a fan of the format of this new site... I feel like I'm new to the internet again, even though this is more like a message board from the early 2000s.

I feel similar. It's really tripping me up when I open a thread and have to scroll to the newest post.

[noname83]

I made it over here too. TB isn't down for maintenance for me, but wow stuff is crazy there.

If you hit "new" instead of the post title, it brings you to the newest posts.

She's an admin. That's all I know. And I'm pretty sure admin trumps mod.

Do someone know how to make my avatar show up on this app? I've updated it on my profile, but it doesn't show when I post. It works just fine on my lap top.

[katiers29]

Me! EDD June 26th

[mabillon]

I'm here, thanks to the news making it to the GBCN April 12 board! I may post more now that there is a good app.

[taisree]

Here! Joined last night but could not figure out the tapTalk app, I'm slowlyyyyyy getting it. But app is so much better than safari, yay. Now to figure out the avatar.....

So pissed the ban on bumpmay did not stick. TB was probably just messing with us, "gotcha!"

Still lurking over there, total creepy ghost town.

[ellejdubs]

ElleJDubs, here, glad I found you guys! I can't take anymore of the pansy "maybe you should check with your dr to see if they think your ultrasound looks like your kid has downs"... I just wanna be like you fucking idiot! Anywho, HI!!

[mrscampos4life]

Just wanted to let you girls know I'm here.
Took me a while but I made it!

[ajm11]

I'm here! I'm a mobile user, so I can't update my avatar with my awesome red velvet cupcake yet. I'll be doing that when I work up the energy to stop being lazy.

[trixi282]

I'm here... only posted occasionally over at TB, because work and a toddler rule my life. But I'm here learning the ropes.

[Ana0927]

I have decided to switch over here! 

[megeliz1]

I just found my way over!

[poohbearlove]

Hi!

[omgtree]

poohbearlove as soon as I see your name I immediately here the theme song in my head...

[bluediamond]

I'm here too. I mostly lurked on TB too, but I was really starting to miss everyone!
