Does anyone else actually kind of miss...

[heatherj9603]

the flame worthy posters? You know the type, asking if they are prego. Using One run on sentence. The misspellings, the "why are you so mean" comments, the goodbye cbs.  And of course the ones that you just hoped were mud, because someone can't possibly be that dumb! 

am I the only one that kind of misses reading all the mean girl comments? I'm sure In time they will come. But man I'd love a good laugh right now! 

Eta: I should clarify that I prefer the actual discussions too. I hated sifting through 75% of the board being idiots. But wayyyy back In the day, most of the board was informative with a few random idiots. That was fun. But not what TB turned into with mostly idiots. 

[easilyunamused]

Short answer, NO. Long answer, I wasn't really into those.

Y u so mean?

[scatterbug]

I can understand your post. The come backs to some were rather hilarious. But honestly Nope. I am still browsing over there because it's easier on my phone and I could weep at all the stupidity flying around. Some of the advice is just dangerous. And it makes me sad how uneducated (formally or self educated) women are. And these women will be having kids and passing this obliviousness on to their daughters. Scary times.

[EmeraldEyes85]

Not really. Although some of them were beyond ridiculous and deserved all the flaming, I'm enjoying the tone and nature of this board. But yes, they will probably slip in some time!

[housecarder]

As a lurker on the Dump I always clicked on the "Could I be?" or "Implantation bleeding?" posts because yes it was entertaining. I still can't help but go back every now and then and see what a train wreck it's turned into over there. But I def do not want that to become the norm over here, although I don't think it will since we are able to tell them to fuck off.

[PugMum]

Yes and no. They made me chuckle sometimes with how oblivious they were to the whole reproductive system - but I was once one of those people and its easier to laugh at now.

After my loss, the flyby "18 y/o and preggo" posters really got to me. I don't miss those AT ALL.

[allycat]

Not even a little bit. The random pee sticks and bitter old hag comments can DIAF.

[cateyes]

Nope. Glad to not have to deal with the drama, trolls and meanness that those people would bring. I love that our board can just be a group of women who are TTC, support each other, and laugh along the way!

[teambrink]

Absolutely not. I much rather have educated/educating and fun discussions than deal with craziness. I prefer very limited drama in my life and definitely do not enjoy the internet drama.

[becwheat]

No. I honestly do not miss the dump at all... I actually might be banned now bc of my siggy and I have no cares.

Nothing is more frustrating to me than people ignoring or becoming hostile because of facts and advice that is genuinely given in their best interest.

People ask for help, good advice is given, then said people FREAK OUT!

Not fun.


ETA: I am banned. I feel so legit right now.

[frankenboom]

Not in the slightest.

[Unknown]

No

[sister13]

I can see where you are coming from, and I don't know your post history. I feel like educating idiots was "fun-ish" for the first couple of months that I was active on the Bump.

After that, I couldn't be bothered in most cases. It loses it's appeal pretty fast and as of right now, I'm fucking thrilled at their absence over here.

[LadyNymeria]

Not at all. I logged on the other day to request my post history be deleted and took a swing by TTGP. I don't miss that shit at all. I'm loving it so much more over here. Yes, we will need new people to keep the board alive as the current posters hopesfully start moving onto BMBs, but I like the fact that it's not some well known board that people can stumble across and post dumb questions to. I don't miss the dump at all.

[lovegrilledcheese]

Nope

[morwen]

Some of them turned into awesome gif parties after the op would abandon the thread so that part was cool, but no to the rest of it

[dovahfel]

I honestly don't. It's nice to be in a place where real adult conversations are happening. Plus it really does suck and isn't just an excuse when someone throws a BFP in your face every. Other. Day.

[RaeLynn28]

It was really funny at times but got old quickly. I love the atmosphere here so much better! I hope they stay away. At least lets enjoy this time while we can!

[moutonrouge]

As I lurker, I liked the witty/catty comments and gif parties. But then after I read longer, I thought about how disruptive it would be. I post on another board that moved from a company hosted forum that got a lot of drive bys and trolls, to a private (but not closed) board. It was a nice change. We are not so witty there, so drive bys were never as fun and I think that initially distracted me from seeing how much they suck.

[Martinis&Medicine]

Not really.

It got old fast and I wasn't a fan of being told I deserve to be infertile. Just because an ignorant bitch said it doesn't mean it didn't sting a bit.

[teenybenoit]

Nope. Happy to be here.

[beckynsean11]

Nope, not at all. They were amusing here & there. But seeing people that fucking stupid successfully reproducing was just depressing, especially after coming back to the board after a loss. I'm glad to not have to see pee sticks, stupid questions, & spiteful comments about my fertility and losses.

Lol.

[piccyami]

I definitely don't miss them. I didn't enjoy the way those girls behaved, and I really prefer when we can have real conversations instead.

[kellybenelly83]

Dont miss it at all. I dont need those bitches telling me I'm uneducated and dont deserve kids because I tell them the truth. Fuck that, this board is so much better without them.

Also beckynsean11 I love you. just because.

[ttcminicofer]

I'm good without them. I saw way too many hurtful things said by the OP's.

Smooches & 

[risscaboobs]

Nerp.

[whatsit]

I don't miss it. I am enjoying this board a lot and feel that this is a better community without all the crazy bursting in. I have gone and lurked on TD and am saddened by what it has turned into. There are answers to questions but no real interactions between the members.
