Gosh, i can't even read past page 2. There's no lurking and getting a feel for the board because there's not too much relevant to TTC on the board. It's randoms, and TWW/WTO. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to lurk the TWW or WTO and read everyone's response to see if someone MIGHT have something similar to me.
If this community is going to grow, then we need to grow the fuck up and realize that not everyone lurks and "gets the feel" We should be welcoming new blood, and when they ask a relevant question about TTC, then answer it. If it's something like "Here;s my pee stick am I pregnant?" then sure go right on ahead and flame, snark, whatever you want. Just remember this isn't TB with THOUSANDS of people joining all the time.
If you can't handle seeing that someone has a LO or is breastfeeding, then maybe take a day off...or go to 3T. Don't resort to making others feel bad for even having a LO, and asking a question as if their questions don't matter because they already have a child.
If y'all want GKU to stay the same 5 people posting all the time, then by all means continue being childish just for shits and giggles. I'll stay lurking in the background and judging the heck out of you. Have fun with all that. Peace out GKU.
If you don't like the culture of GKU, participate, start threads, change it. Piling on, telling us we are childish, or being sarcastic (without even reading the thread) are not helpful, conducive to change, or beneficial to the community.
And if you really don't like it, GTFO.
I'd love to see more threads on TTC topics. I'd love to not have been here for a year and a half and part of the "same 5 people posting all the time." I'd love more people to come here and hang out with us, whether TTC the first time or the tenth. I can't change it by myself, and I sure as fuck don't appreciate being lumped in like one tiny group of bitter, unwelcoming, snarky bitches.

Maybe a couple of us needed a snickers early on, but the majority of the thread is actually people being nice to the OP. And discussion of food preferences. But, sure, let's make it another act of "GKU is so mean," that's always fun*.
*I only mean this half sarcastically, since I lurked TTGP (and BotB) and the idea that we even approach "mean" makes me lol.

Why is that the same posters who complain about us in "flaming threads" are the same who are not around or participating in normal day to day threads! Y'all come out of lurkdom to scold us and tell us what we are doing wrong, so why don't you participate and change the culture of the board that way?

I promise I'm not saying you are all "childish" and "bitter". Trust me, I spent my fair share (more than my fair share since I was a mod) on TTGP on the dump and we got called way worse than that. All I was saying was that from someone who used to be a reg and now comes from more of an outside perspective there was a little harshness from some people (in no way saying ALL). I'd love to spend more time here, but my time has been limited lately for many reasons.

I clicked on the thread since I am breastfeeding and thought I could give advice, in no way was this to scold anyone.

That's great if you wanted to help give your input on the subject. I to, miss these type of informing threads. There's always someone who feels a certain way, and will say so. It has always been this way. Just like grads keep telling us to move on if we don't like the post, they can do the same when someone voices an opinion truly don't like.
I wish you'd come back to play! I'm not trying to yell at you. This has just been on going for months and I'm really just over it.

I think it's great when there is a culture of a board, definitely. And I definitely agree that anyone should have the right to post and feel how they feel, including myself.
And thanks. I was a loser and posted an reintro and then fell off the face of the planet. I promise it's not personal, just had a lot of life stuff going on lately that's made it hard to log on.
