FTM, newbies, and the exodus

[Deleted]

Since this board is overall new & a result of the recent TB exodus, I imagine it will either be mostly STM+ or those that had been on TB boards for quite a while TTC.

If anybody got KU now, they'd probably just join the N15 board on TB and never know better?? 

Has anybody been over there??

My DD's BMB (august 14) mostly moved & I never go back to TB.

I was a n00b to this site...but was in GKU first. Hopefully when they get the "Then Comes Family" site officially launched and off the "goodbyecb" domain, people will come on their own.

I actually took a long break from TB (TTGP was my home board) and went over there last week when I got my BFP. I noticed that all the regs I knew were banned and was like WTF?? Then some kind souls PM'ed me and told me where to find a forum that was worth a damn. I haven't been back over there since.

I briefly looked through Nov 15 and after three or four posts wanted to poke my eyes out. I don't think I could handle it this time around.

My whole previous BMB (May 13) basically moved to facebook. A few still post here, but for the most part those of us who were active are not there. In fact, I don't know that any new posts have been made since early Feb!

I was on TD in 2014 then we benched and when I came back it was deserted. I lurked a few times but I couldn't handle what they were posting. When I got my BFP I did look on the Nov '15 board over there. I just saw a ton of "if I get pregnant this month, I will be due in Nov!" posts. Glad I'm here. Also way too many stranger's pee sticks.

I was a longtime lurker on and off on TB (since 2007?), but never felt comfortable posting for some reason. The mass exodus happened right about when I was going through my m/c and I was in need of support, so here I am.

I lurked there even when I wasn't TTC because all the crazies were good for getting a laugh.

Same story here.  I lurked TB TTCAL after my loss then intro'd here in the beginning in CAL.

Is there anyone in Nov 15 TD worthy of a link over here? I never had an account there, so it wouldn't make sense for me to do it, but we can always use some new recruits

Just to show my age, when I first started lurking it was back when Babies on the Brain was on TheNest.

From what I've seen over there, and I'm not there often at all, they're all crazies. The majority aren't even pregnant. Like I mentioned, most are "omg, squee, if I get KU today I will be due in November!". There are a few here that still give people the link to here, though.

oh i go waaaaay back.

When there was "brides decide" about the 2008 election...and I've been on the knot since 2006!

[jumpingpuddles]

I had a knot wedding website around that time. Never lurked the boards there, though.

[mtnmomma13]

I had a Knot account in 2004...yikes, am I showing my age?! Although DH and I got married pretty young.

For fun I went and checked today, and there was one person I thought seemed rational. I was going to point her here, then realized I had my account deleted. Guess I won't be of much help recruiting!

[dazdareis]

I go back occasionally just for the comedic relief. I was bench Oct-Jan so I stayed away. When I came back after shit hit the fan, but was i thankful I got shown over here.

There was literally a post on Nov-15 about a woman asking about how her period was due that day, and she was bleeding and could it just be implantation...
