continued silence thread or completely leaving?

[butlerfan]

I'm awake early and could ppst silent threads on TB but wasnt sure what the concensions was for what we were doing. I may have missed it. Also it's a shorter day at work so could be more active this afternoon than I have been just let me know.

Those people are fucking morons btw with "they say to wait six months if you are over 35 to see a RE" WHO DO YOU THINK GAVE THAT ADVICE?

[Ray]

"they". LOL!

Me personally, I go where you all go. I'm loyal to the community, which is defined by its members, not the location

[youdontsay]

I'm staying here. I don't want sunshine and rainbows and want the truth when I ask a question not: "OMG you're prego!"

[3houlagirl]

It looks like people are still bumping silence threads over there. There are several confused intros from newbs in the mix, too.

I see that too. I want to repky soooooo bad but havr been love titting and doing silent posts when able.

Just wanted to check if we were still doing that or not. I kind of think we should continue it because the stock is going down but I love you all here.

I think the post I saw last night said that we could do the most damage by not even lurking over there. They get advertising money whenever a page gets viewed, so if we just stay away it will hurt them even more.

ghostmonkey knows more about this than I do, but she said that too, I believe.

Yep. Their traffic is determined by page loads, not by posts on the forum. Sites without forums still have traffic. And posts drive it up more because they refresh when your post is added, but just going there does benefit them.

It is highly unlikely that the stock price has anything to do with a forum. That is likely more tied to the news getting out about the change in ownership.

I'm done bumping silence threads. I'm about to go on a zen road trip so I need my blood pressure to remain 120/non-ragey.

[britterrss]

GDI it keeps double posting.

[ghostmonkey]

This might be why they are trying to rebrand. This is total traffic, not just forum hits.

This is pretty interesting too. Everything is down across the board. Due to increase in competitors?

They can't get over the fact that our silence posts are not silent. It's like their one comeback that they think is Sooooo clever.

Part of me wants to change the title of all the silence posts to "protest" or something like that.

So infuriating.

I don't know why I even care. I have you ladies. I guess I'm just programmed to battle stupidity.

[LadyNymeria]

I requested my stuff be deleted this morning. Once it's done I don't plan to go back. I can't handle dumbasses, rainbows and glitter farts all day.

[kawaiikitsune]

I don't think I'm going to be posting anymore. Let them have the rainbow farts and false information. As I said before, in a week or so, when all this dies down, it will be tumbleweeds and crickets. It will never be what it was.

[ghostmonkey]

If you want an idea of what it's going to look like around there, go take a quick glance at The Nest's Getting Pregnant bored.

It's painful.

[notlindsrockies]

I don't know what to do at this point. I am waiting for my account to be deleted, but in the meantime I don't know if I want to go on a flaming spree or just stay silent completely.

I thought about a flamefest too, but for the most part it's just trolls and just really not worth it.

You know you done fucked up if I don't want to stick around for a flaming free-for-all.

Bored is an apt description

LMAO. Unintentional but it definitely works.

[notlindsrockies]

I'm sure BabyCenter, BabyGaga and JustMommies are creaming in their pants over this whole mess.

Edit: grammar fail

[kawaiikitsune]

Soon TTGP will be over-run with pictures of CM, IB, and people squeeing over random postivie HPTs.

Guise they are recommending a newbie stop her birth control and instead take something natural such as vitex to regulate cycles if she wants kids in the future. I wanna scream!!!

This is why I had to just not go on the site anymore. I want to respond telling them their idiots, but I don't want to give them the drama I'm sure they're looking for.

I just can't even at this.

[wirt2cute]

ghostmonkey that board is just plain sad.

[risscaboobs]

Yeah I'm done posting the silent threads. I didn't even think about that still giving them hits every time I refresh. Duh.

And it's so hard to not say anything to the stoopids over there right now.
