24 hours of silence

I don't think I will be going back, makes me sad cause I'm not crazy about the app here but I can't deal with those fucktards over there currently. I have been biting my tongue cause I have a few threads starred for after baby gets here and I don't want to get banned.

Seriously though, it's 4-5 people. If we all went back and started posting as normal and ignored them, they'd get bored and would run back to the hole they came from.

True. I guess we will see after the 24 hours. Hopefully the dust will settle and we can reclaim our turf.

[mayflowers]

True honeylemon. I can just ignore them.

That jah chick...who is she and where did she come from??

Apparently she thinks she is smarter and more educated than anyone who has EVER been on TB.

So we need a group vote - tomorrow are we going back?!

I think honeylemon is right. It's only a few people who are causing all the trouble.

[honeylemon]

Y'all know I'm going to be there.

Agreed. I will resume normal posts tomorrow and ignore the few.

[mayflowers]

Yeah I'll go back and resume as normal.

[limad]

I'm planning on at least trying to go back. At least, if others go back too

[orangepickle]

Well I'm obviously not going back. Someone who helped me tremendously over the last few months was banned for absolutely no reason so I don't want to support that company or the people running it.

I'm actually slightly sorry for my comment on TB if it reflects badly on any of you (since they seem to being lumping us together like some sort of gang) but I just had a super shitty day and seeing what was being said there put me over the edge.

[staccajaye]

I'll be back, I need to add Wednesday ticker change info.
Also after watching those dumb cunts tonight, I can just ignore them completely. It's what 3 ppl. Idiots.

[Deleted]

I am just sick of them missing the point. None of this has to do with the TOU guidelines.....So I want to go back to prove a point to the butthurt masses but yeah then I don't want to go back to prove a point to the bump gods...

[mayflowers]

If you go back please let that thread die and don't feed the trolls!

[josim]

I'm kinda liking it over here more...no shower posts, no name my baby posts....I could get use to this!

[obi]

I'll go back. It doesn't matter which board I am on, you ladies are what make it what it is.

[Deleted]

I had to break my silence to point out the parenting porn to the troll and to point out that the newbie shouldn't believe everything the trolls tell her...

[Starbuck128]

I like it here a lot more than TB. It's more user friendly and less public. I'll go where the majority go, but I hope we stay here.

[viola]

I'm absolutely staying here for the long term because I already planned on joining Parenting at some point and that board on TB is fucking useless now.
Participating on our BMB too soon will absolutely get me banned. I have feels about what these lurkers are saying

[scattered]

I hope everyone stays here (or on GBCN) for my own selfish pleasure.

[snapdragon]

I'm going to try and go back just because the format is friendlier and more engaging there (I miss love-its!), and also, yeah, because we'll get new people there and won't here. New people, occasional posters, and lurkers are important for a board to stay alive! If there were a few hundred of us it might be different, but trust me, if we stay here, in a couple of years it will only be a very small handful of active posters, if that.

I really care about this group of ladies, so it doesn't matter for now where we all end up, as long as we do it together. I just think we will all have more fun over there in the long run.

Plus...do we really want to leave any awesome newbies who might stumble onto May '15 (and our mods!)in the hands of those two awful people LOLing at each other?

There are love-tits here!  The thumbs up above a post.

I don't know personally.  You guys here are the ones I care about but I do think Snapdragon is right and I'm afraid our numbers could dwindle over time.  At the same time I feel so mad at TB and I know there's a few who definitely won't go back and I'd miss you guys.

This sucks completely.

[Deleted]

I'll go back, for now. I agree with what other people suggested, about just ignoring the trolls. We outnumber them by far, and can push them out! Besides, I like being able to actually help the people who need it.

To clarify: I'll be on both groups for now.

[mariisz]

I gave into the troll and now I regret it. I should have read this thread before hand. I agree 1000%. Ignoring them is the way to go and just go on with actual intelligent conversation. If I'm not banned I'll go on there occasionally. But I think this will be my main spot.

Yeah but the likes aren't as visually awesome as love-its, and I can't go back and preen over them.

I'm mad at TB also, but I still stand by my previous statement that the best way to get back at the people who are trying to change it is to stay and refuse to let it change.  I'll miss everyone who decides not to go back and will probably come back here periodically to see what's going on, if it stays active, but I'm not sure how often I would post here.  I guess we'll see what happens.

[amelandre]

Our board's "24 hrs" posts started at 12:10pm EST.

I don't plan on posting anything until then, but it's up to each of you whether or not you want to observe the full 24 hrs or not.

[orangepickle]

Totally respect those that want to go back, but also want to point out how BM has said that the guidelines are not changes to the TOU but that those changes are coming. I'm thinking this is going to happen all over again when that happens so I'd rather get out now.

[samiamagirl]

I'm sticking with you ladies. For now I'll probably be on both boards. I like the privacy and freedom this one offers, but I do like the fact that TB will bring in new users. Yes, some of them will be super lame, but a good chunk might be awesome.

Agreed! And I also agree about not feeding the trolls, sure they are annoying but ignoring them is not impossible. Those people thrive on conflict, if nobody is engaging them then best case scenario they get bored and leave, if not then they still look stupid. I'd also hate to see this community dwindle over the months/years, to me that is probably the biggest downside to this exodus. Drive-bys will always happen, but other good people might come out of the woodwork, too!

[lezzie82]

The bump truly sucks now!!!

Also.....

I found ya'll....!!!!!!!!!


I like how this has brought out the crazies who can't stand that we are taking 24 hours when they hardly participated in the first place. They are confused and sad...

Well shit ain't always about you.....! People honestly think the world revolves around them.

I'm going to look for a roll call/intro type thread.
