Sometimes they would be entertaining, until they turn nasty, but in general, if I have time to participate, I would prefer to try to keep up with an active daily thread, like FFFC. As a west coaster, I never feel like I can catch up! Ha So, no not usually.

CFNBC - PCOS, one tube. Tried getting a baby in me for a couple years. Diagnosed with Stage IV adenocarcinoma of the lung in August 2013 with metastases in the liver, bone and brain. Going through peri-menopause because of treatments. On a daily chemotherapy pill called Zykadia and it makes me pretty sick. I wanted to lose weight but not this way!! Fighting every fucking day. Got questions? Ask me.

There are lots of flame worthy posts all over The Dump right now if you want to read them. Personally I like the fact there is no m ore drive by pee sticks and am I pregnant posts. I am sure we will still get them from time to time. I think we need to still actively recruit from places like the Dump or our numbers will get stale.
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.
This. After a few months on TD I got bored of them. I usually didn't even open "am I pregnant" posts after a while.
Actually, no. I didn't realize how much time I was spending reading those worthless posts and wasting my energy trying to be 'snarky" in return. I much prefer this highly more intelligent and tactful ladies here!

If anyone misses that stuff, the dump is making up for all the lost time on here giving you some good entertainment. It mostly makes me depressed that people can be that dense. Or nauseous at the disgusting ways people can describe their CM.

It's horrible. It's like a train wreck. I can't look away.
I never cared for the drivebys and MUD posts, personally. Sometimes they'd spawn board in-jokes (like "fisting" and "butt babies") and that's fine, but if I wanted that shit, I'd have gone to BabyCenter or something of that depth for the "lulz". I like having this board because of its lack of that shit -- it's like moving into a nicer neighborhood, where you don't have a major roadway in your backyard.
tl;dr If I want to fulfill my hankering for "the dramz", I can always go looking for it AND still have somewhere sane to come home to.
I'm good without them. I saw way too many hurtful things said by the OP's.
This. Even though I liked seeing the funny responses by the regs, the trolls would get vicious. It hurt me to see the awful things that were directed at people I genuinely cared about.
Nope - I just went to lurk on TD and zomg the level of stupid is off the charts. The 18 y.o. who thought she was pregnant 7 months ago but the tests were negative and now thinks maybe she was wrong bc she's gained some weight? Lawdy! At least here I know that the "hey, I'm a noob with a possibly dumb question" posts are still reasonable and from people who have at least read the newbie blog. So I don't miss the idiots, but I do miss the clever snarky gifs. So little reason for snark over here so far!
I miss having legit people asking legit (although maybe silly or newb) questions, but I don't miss the total meltdowns and tantrum throwing posters. I know we still have some of the former, but not as much.
