[Ever] since they made their own board
do you feel like this one's become more comfortable or laid back?
I see a lot of people that i remember being silent a lot posting more often and some people I haven't seen before (though maybe they changed their names).
I like hearing from lurkers.
Re: [Ever] since they made their own board
Well, after all the talk of how "close" we all were, and etc, it kind of irks me to think that another board was made that we all were not invited too go and join. I mean, if another board was made because of a dislike for a few people, i find it kind of rude and childish, but who am I to say. I did not post much, so i guess i cant judge at all. I just tried to stay out of all the drama.
I am more comfortable posting now because there is not alot of drama, and there are some great ladies still here that i've met (and would love to meet). I just am the kind of person that all thru my life i felt like i never fit in and coming here, i tried to be-friend some and kind of felt that i wasnt worth the time.... So be it....
Am i making any sense?
Yes! That actually makes perfect sense, I like how you put it into perspective for me like that, because my feelings were quite hurt, but you are right... THANKS!!
you mean to say that there is a nother board here for specific people? Only the "cool" ones were intived? lol i dunno what would you call it.
if thats so true what is this high school?
I agree very much with what Chrissy said. I definitely feel MUCH more comfortable here now that it's a smaller group of really cool girls (many of whom i'm familiar with from "the knot"). I love that there's hardly any drama, and I also feel I don't have to "bite my tongue" or word my words as carefully in fear of offending someone. With that said, I also miss the input, opinions and insight of (most of) the girls who left. This board was always hopping, and that kept me busy on bored days at work.
I do think it appears to be slightly Jr Highish for them to make a "secret club" because of a few newbies and nesties that maybe they don't care for. But we all have our reasons for doing things. I can only hope that the members of this "not so secret club" are also allowed to post here, as I know many people on "that" board are also friends with people on "this" board.
Makes me wonder about this secret club. Think there's an election? Committee meetings? Association fees? Freshman initiation? haha!
I am not quite sure I do believe another board was made but I do know I miss all of the people who used to post here on a regular basis. I am terribly disappointed that all of this happened and we lost some valuable contributions to a great board.
I'm sorry, but while you see the board as "laid back" I now see it as missing something.
They have their own board!? Well, thats a great feeling, especially since I have been here since the beginning of when the nest began. Wow, I am not sure what to think, sad, disappointment, anger I am not going to focus on this today since I cant deal with it but I still love this baord no matter what. I have made some great friends, online and IRL friends from the nest and I thought that was the whole point? I came here b/c I never had a lot of girl friends b/c I always got along with men easier and I wanted to try to step out of that comfort zone. Well my first gtg i met some great girls here and saw that even though woman are different that we can still help each other.
It guess I am really surprised at some of the women on the "other" board since I have been talking to them for years and they have such "hate" for this board that they up and left and never said "hey Beth take care, good getting to know you" or anything. That to me is worse then the "drama".
Who knows. Maybe there is not a "new board" and if there is, oh well. I am not going to loose sleep over it. After reading thru the responses of everyone else, I am thinking maybe i should not have posted my own. Im waiting for the possible "new boarders" to come on here and chew me out. Ha-ha!
Either way, Iknow I did not take sides with any of the drama, i pretty much stayed out of it. I honestly did not care as to who was right, who was wrong, blah blah blah. Sure, there are people who post that I dont particularly care for, but oh well, its the internet.. im over it. All i know is lately, i've had a bit more support from women who i have not met (i think i've only met a few that are left here) then I had before.. YAY!!! I love you ladies. And yes, this board might be not as active as it was 2 months ago, but we are still getting great opinions and we all get along and that is what matters most :-).
I feel like it's become more laid back- but I'm not sure if that's the reason why.
I agree that it is really nice to see some "new" posters around- I'm really enjoying that.
edited to add: And Beth, a good chunk of what you said comes right from my brain, as well. So thanks for saving me the typing.
Since my wedding almost a year ago, I would come over here and rack my brain for things to post here. I wanted to get to know people, but felt like I could never quite "jump" into any of the conversations. I lurked and lurked and every once in a while I would post something but never quite felt like part of the crowd, so I went to another board which was more "me".
The last month or so, I decided that I was just going to jump right in and post and not give a hoot who reads my posts or even who responds, because I think that everyone should feel welcome on their "home" board. With all the crap that happened around here, I do have to say that I am more comfortable posting on this board now and I do feel that I am more a part of things.
well, im insulted. and hurt, and ANNOYED and pissed if there really is a "new board". and ditto to sassy beth and heather. ive been on the nest/knot for 5 freaking years and a little stupid drama does this? i just dont have the words because i guess in reality it really isnt worth my time. but it does irk me since we all were "so close" and now were so excluded. idk,. but it leaves an awful taste in my mouth.
*off my soapbox now*
OH! and ladies, just say what you want to say!
i know i usually do 
I have been reading this all morning trying to decide if I have something to add. I am torn because I feel like I am being accused since I don't post anymore but I also don't want to participate in this kind of crap or give a post like this any response.
Honestly, Britni THIS POST is why I don't post anymore. Way to start more drama and make people feel bad! Once again there is a popularity contest going on! I completely ditto Amye about having nothing to add lately. The drama as well as the constant popularity contest that this seems to be has been enough for me to find something else to do. I am going to more food allergy message boards and lately, sleep training ones. I don't even know why I feel like I have to justify my absence from the nest. I think it is really crappy of you to imply that certain regular posters that have taken a break were so awful it was keeping new people away.
Ok, I was done, but honestly...this is ridiculous.
For people who have posted on this thread who say that they do NOT know whether or not there is a board...I think jumping to attack someone who states that there is one is complete crap. If you don't know, then why do you assume that there isn't? I think that you need to get over it.
Here's the basic truth. There *is* a board that was created. Okay? It exists. It's been confirmed (at least to me). I'm not a part of it, but I know, for certain, that it exists. I was hurt, but I'm over it. But it's NOT okay to jump on people here for SAYING that it does, when the people doing the jumping don't have a clue or maybe know and don't want to admit it? Who knows.
Now, as far as Kate and Sarah...I totally understand where you are coming from, but I wanted to say that I miss the hell out of you guys.
I really haven't posted much lately pre-drama, post-drama as I either cannot relate to a lot of the posts or I just don't feel I have much to contribute. I also have a few people that I have become close to and prefer to stay in touch with them via other means.
To say the board is more comfortable or laid back.... I think that due to it being quiet. Part of my original disinterest in posting was due to the fact that there were so many people and so many posts. It became less personal as it felt like more of a chore..... make sure I congratulate, compliment, console, etc. so and so or else I'll look like a bad nestie. I don't want it to be a chore, I want to be doing it because I truly care about that person and their situation.... and that only comes from getting to know a person (well as much as you can get to know someone from a board or a few quick GTG).
Just my thoughts.....
I am in complete agreement here.
