But FYI, it probably would have been better if this had stayed in the TWW thread. You're still pretty new here. Main board BFP posts are usually reserved for regs.
So here's my snark ass contribution:
NO.
Main board BFP's are not reserved for "regs." They're for people who have come to the community, been active and involved, supported others, etc. IDGAF if she hit in on month one. Main board BFP posts have never been about length of service, but rather how you contributed to the community, and macaronmama has been a tremendous addition to our little family during her short stint.
macaronmama , CONGRATS. Don't let this shit get you down. Have a great pregnancy.
@macaronmma is lovely, and I'm happy for her. But she has like 100 posts. This board has flamed nice and supportive members that have been around for longer than that, for posting on the main board. I don't want to tag her but twocents comes to mind. Why the double standard?

Ok, so, I have spoken out before that I don't like how we deign who can and cannot post on the main page (that's my UO and we've been over that).
But the larger consensus has been that if you tend to live in the TWW/WTO threads, you should keep your BFPs in there because you have chosen not to interact regularly with the board at large - so why flaunt your BFP in front of a bunch of people you've never spoken to? Juxtapose that against Macaron who has been very active and engaged across the board.
From what I've seen, that tends to be the most common reason posters get flamed for main page BFPs (other than insensitive wording) and I would venture to say that's probably why TC was flamed - but I don't remember and I'm not going to look it up because...I'm just not. Let me know if you remember differently I guess.
+1
The trainer was standing near me and I couldn't type.

Another thought on the matter... there are clearly fewer "regs" on GKU now than there were 6 months or a year ago. And maybe also the definition of "reg" has changed since our board has slowed down. This kind of BFP post probably wouldn't have flown a year ago, but in my opinion things have changed, and both "new" and "old" "regs" should be free to post.
Even though I've been here forever and am still not pregnant, I still love seeing main board BFP posts. As long as someone has tried to participate on GKU (outside of WTO/TWW), I think they should be welcome to post a BFP on the main board.
