    I read this board every single day and I rarely see when people are getting upset about.  I know that you, Jess, like to be snarky or funny which I honestly find most, if not all, of your posts hilarious. 

    The crux of what I'm trying to get across today (which I'm probably doing poorly) is that people shouldn't take things so personally and should get back into posting again.  I don't know why people left the board in the first place but it's no fun for the rest of us here who have no idea what the heck is going on. 

    Exactly to your first comment. That is why I am so annoyed with this board. I am tired of the complainy-ness. I rarely see why people are 'offended' and so sensitive about things. Grow a backbone. The world is not filled with unicorns that poop rainbows. This is an internet chat board and you should not take things seriously.

    It's just said that a handfull of us can leave and the board dies. It just proves that the couple of us are clearly here for our own conversations that entertain other people.

    Perfectly said.

    Also, do any of the older posters remember the gmail chat group?  It was used a few years back, and it worked well for a while, it kept out the stalkers and people were actually more open.  FB is much better than the gmail set up though!!

    umm....how was i not invited to that? i haz a hurt feeling now. 

    must.go.cry.

    I walked away from my desk for 30 minutes and missed all of the drama :-(  Oh well...

    Same here :(

    This. I was curious why this has been so slow.

    The only thing I really gathered from that DD'd thread was that there is a FB group that some of the former regular posters are now using instead of this board.  I honestly don't know who is who because no one likes to name names.  Jess was posting snarky pictures that may have gotten offensive (I don't really know because I couldn't see one of them).  And I was just trying to keep it real. 

    So I guess the moral of the story is if you want this board to become active again, then someone besides the old regulars need to do the posting because they are currently not interested in this board. 

    I had copied the pic to show a friend of mine that would find it hilarious.

    I think I must be really dense because I've never noticed any drama on this board.  And I've never had my feelings hurt or noticed anything that anyone posted that would cause someone else's feelings to be hurt.

    Pretty much this.  I have had a couple of minor words with one poster that I think went away.  For the most part, I pop in and out and ignore what doesn't relate to me.  Maybe I lurk too much on ML, but I don't get why anyone would be offended with anything that has been posted here.

     

    I consider myself a regular and I'm still here, but I can't carry this board alone FFS! Stick out tongue  I only have so many boss stories! lol

    What does this mean?
    And that is not snark, i am being serious. I am happy to tell you whatever you want to know.

    I'm referring to people making general references (kinda like I just did), stating things like "people getting their panties in a bunch" and "people getting their feelings hurt".  I read this board every single day and I rarely see when people are getting upset about.  I know that you, Jess, like to be snarky or funny which I honestly find most, if not all, of your posts hilarious.  I agree with Katie's statement in the DD'd post that it's difficult to catch the tone of some posts which is why I don't understand why people on public message boards get so personally offended. 

    The crux of what I'm trying to get across today (which I'm probably doing poorly) is that people shouldn't take things so personally and should get back into posting again.  I don't know why people left the board in the first place but it's no fun for the rest of us here who have no idea what the heck is going on. 

    I truly believe that because people don't name names and people often take things too personally is why this board is dead.  If someone has an issue, they should call that person out and try to hash it out like adults instead of disappearing.  But hey, to each their own.  Anyone can do whatever the fvck they want to do.  We are all adults and I am just trying to explain how I am feeling. 

    Amen! I stopped posting because things either didn't apply to my life/advice, or when I did post, I got the most stupid/rude/obnoxious replies.  People need to get over trying to be the most snarky/most funny, because it gets old/annoying fast, and that's why people chose NOT to post anymore.   Also people REALLY need to get over "missing the old board."  It's never going to be that way again, and there will constantly be new people....get over it.

    but did i miss something, i didn't go anywhere else because i was worried i would offend someone... ill offend people right here... hell i have done it multiple times.

    conversation can be a little more personable and some girls know each other IRL and at least much better than others... so if i have comments directed at kbaby... like i want to tell her what a slut she is, why do it on here when i can do it infront of our friends... thats all.

    i have been posting on TN for about 4 years now... never did the knot so i don't know any of the girls from there... i have seen girls come and go because they didn't like what was being posted... its just how it goes... i don't put much stock into it.

    but did i miss something, i didn't go anywhere else because i was worried i would offend someone... ill offend people right here... hell i have done it multiple times.

    conversation can be a little more personable and some girls know each other IRL and at least much better than others... so if i have comments directed at kbaby... like i want to tell her what a slut she is, why do it on here when i can do it infront of our friends... thats all.

    i have been posting on TN for about 4 years now... never did the knot so i don't know any of the girls from there... i have seen girls come and go because they didn't like what was being posted... its just how it goes... i don't put much stock into it.

  • I was starting to wonder what had happened with everyone, as I noticed some ladies arent around as much.  You ladies have been my entertainment when I happened to get a few minutes down time at work, which doesnt happen a lot, so Im not really a regular.  I miss my entertainment :-)

    I think I must be really dense because I've never noticed any drama on this board.  And I've never had my feelings hurt or noticed anything that anyone posted that would cause someone else's feelings to be hurt.

     

    Wow!  I was off work (and the board) today and...wow!  I feel the same way as Mrs.  MGM. I haven't noticed drama. I enjoy the board and post when I can contribute. Hope to continue to do so with a good group!
