Okay, guys, we've been tasked with updating our board description.
Right now our description is: "A board for women who are TTC and for those who just want to hangout and talk about sex. Learn about charting, patience, and snark here."
Joy and I have been talking and we've come up with: "A board to learn and share knowledge about TTC with a side of snark." or "A board to swap TTC knowledge with a side of snark."
We'd love your input though. You guys are amazing and funny and we want something that really represents the spirit of the board. So feel free to submit suggestions so we can get something awesome!
Should we maybe spell out TTC instead of using the acronym, for newbies? Like ... "trying to conceive (TTC)"? Just in case some newbies don't know our frequently used acronyms/terms/etc yet.
New here too... but for some reason the line "a serious board for snarky people" is sticking in my brain... If you like that, perhaps, "A serious board for snarky people: a place to learn and exchange knowledge on TTC." ...or something like that.

Oh, I like that.
Happy to help
Former copyeditor in me also agrees with ubergrun on making it "trying to conceive (TTC)". The people reading the description are likely not the people who already know what that means.

Oh, good, a copyeditor! Because I was wondering if the suggestions we made were grammatically correct/flowed well. But anything we come up with can be run past you first

Sure! Feel free to shoot anything past me that you'd like. I run a forum too and know how it goes. Anything to help you ladies out!

My $0.02 -- I don't like the description of "a serious board" because while I think GKU has a lot of knowledge, I don't really think of it as "serious." "Serious," to me, wouldn't include drinking threads, random gif threads, "Man Candy Monday," etc., all of which are on the front page right now. We're fun, not serious.
To throw out some other ideas --
*A place to learn and talk about TTC ("trying to conceive"), charting, temping, and sex. *A TTC ("trying to conceive") board filled with science, sex, and snark. *A board for women who are TTC ("trying to conceive") to share knowledge, experience, and advice. *Puttin' the P in the V: Let's Talk About Sex (and TTC).
I really really want to include Puttin' the P in the V now.

I agree that "serious" might give off the wrong vibe...I really like the bolded in LLP's post. Its easy to understand, alliterative, and (I feel) a really accurate description of the culture.
