Are we screening?

[kawaiikitsune]

Members from TheDump before we recruit them or just giving them the link? I mean, it's not like we can't handle it if they go BSC over here but still...

[nuggetrn]

Lol, I was just over on TTGP to see what was going on and I was thinking the same thing seeing the thread where everybody was asking for links over here.

I think we should add a personality test to the newbie blog and if they score well it can give them a link. hahaha.

Maybe we should just suggest they read the newbie blog? Isn't the link in there now?

[bunnyfungo]

I get wanting to keep the BSC out. But I'm also worried that if we don't get enough fresh blood in here the board will die out. Because (fingers crossed) we won't all be on this board forever.

[GoBigOrGoGnome]

Yeah- I say let them all in, crazy or not. We can get rid of the butt-hurts and we can always use new, like-minded folks.

This was my thought exactly.

[wowcheezits]

Kinda hard to screen when the proboards link has been thrown all over TB like candy on the threads (some being titled the link) and in anyone's PMs when they ask for it. I figure the BSCs will filter themselves out pretty quickly from here if it ever happens.

Except for Sept#s we did pretty good getting rid of the Annoyings. Granted there were many of them, but we put up a good fight to find the good ones.

I was just thinking about sept#'s the other night and wondering if she came over here. I'm sure it won't be long before she shows up since she likes to say stupid shit to cause problems

I missed so much being sick last week

She is septembre, just FYI. Hasn't been on since the 14th, which was the day she made her account.

From a mostly lurker to this board, more active on June 13, the BSCs are what made the board extra fun to follow. I loved reading the snarky comments. We need those people to have snark towards. Just my thoughts.

[kawaiikitsune]

I'm grateful for these responses because I have been tossing the link around like crazy. *whew*

[Unknown]

I say let them in. We didn't move here to get rid of the crazy, we moved to get rid of TB itself. I think eventually TB will turn into babycenter and newbies aren't going to know what happened and won't be as receptive to coming here, so we should recruit while we can. I like it here and the more posters the more likely it will continue to be a fun place to hang and really develop into a large online community. We should also continue to recruit already established bumpies to the other side.

These are my thoughts as well.  I've been passing out this link like Snickers on Halloween.

[wanderingheart]

Honestly, a lot of women don't know shit about their bodies. I was one of them. I had never heard of charting with temps or the dangers of Clomid before lurking on the board which shall not be named.

I'd say it's worth the BSC the board might get to welcome in new people, because some women really do need help learning about this stuff. You guys have the knowledge and science to teach them. For every crazy person we get, we might get a few who stick around to learn.

I know I'm a newbie, but that's my 2 cents.

[lgraceh]

As a newbie, I really appreciate getting sent a link. I had no idea about temp/charting. I had someone tell me that she was temping, and I was really confused. So that lead me to TK. These boards have been a wealth of information.

[cateyes]

I too think we should just give the link out and if crazies come over, we can tell them they are crazy. They won't stay long if we don't play with hem here. It will be the true test, do they want will information or glitter farts.

Not gonna lie, this is also part of my reasoning for luring newbs over here. Every once in a while, a little BSC can be fun.

Of course, I'm not saying I miss those random days where we'd get like 15 pee stick posts. But just a little BSC, ya know?

[notlindsrockies]

I think BSC is always fun. Well, to a point.


How's that for hedging?

[beckynsean11]

I say open the flood gates & let them all come over. We can easily chase away the crazy once we've gotten our fill of entertainment from them.

[risscaboobs]

I say let them come. If they are crazies, they will eventually wish bad karma on us or break one of the related ruled and be banned. No harm done and we'll get to be snarky. Win win.

it's so much "fun" when strangers tell you you don't deserve to have children. fun.

I really think we need to make bingo cards for BSC.

[cjchio]

I agree that we need to keep new blood on here or else the board will die. I say keep spreading that link around over there. I would rather get a bsc poster or two than lose people that could be awesome members here.

GDI W..I love you.

[roastytoasty]

I've been trying to recruit, so I'm glad everyone agrees

Honestly even if all the BSC peeps come here they AREN'T on the other place, which to me is the bigger win. More crazy here = less traffic there.

+1

[Loki]

And this is another reason why I love it here!!

LET THE BSC in!!

I no longer have to coddle them. They can finally be told "the truth" without me having to listen to them whine. I finally don't have to warn my friends for using this language instead of that.

So effing glad I don't have to nit pick language anymore. That was insane. Effing insane.

Now that wasn't the part I found fun.  When people got hateful the fun ended.

Andplusalso, every new poster here is one less for TheDump, and that is probably really the best way to hurt them.
