How long have you been knotting,nesting, bumping?

I was thinking about this today- I started on the knot in March of 05- so this month is FIVE years that this group of websites has been a daily addiction...

I think I need a hobby...LOL

How long have you been on?

Re: How long have you been knotting,nesting, bumping?

  • Your siggy is adorable Abba!!

    I started right after we got engaged, so January of 2004, so over 6 years now!  I was on the CT board a lot and even on the Phoenix board when we thought we'd be moving out there.

  • I believe I started around the same time as you abba.  I remember my first GTG was at TGI Friday's.  There were 5 of us - Arcticfox was one of them - I want to say it was in the winter months, maybe December?
  • Great new siggy picture!!

    I started reading the Knot boards well before I met K or was engaged. Back home I had a side job as a wedding consultant so I found the Knot to be useful at times.  That would have been 2004 ish ??

    Then I joined The Knot as an engaged person in 2006.  I switched screen names when I moved to The Nest...about 2 years ago I think.

  • I never knew about the message boards on theknot, until after the fact, but I was using the site for inspiration/pictures, etc...when I started planning my wedding back in May of 2006.

    Finally found out about the message boards and signed up after I was married in July 2007.  

    So...the sites have been part of my life for almost 4 years.

    Abba - Love the new pic of L!!

  • Just under two years....and I agree, it's an addiction.

  • I started in 2007 but I made an account years earlier but never used it.

  • I started the account in late August/September of 2008 in preparation for my wedding in May 2009.  Been addicted ever since!

  • I started using the Knot to wedding plan way back in 2004 after I got engaged.  I didn't know about the message boards until I came to the Nest in 2006 though.

  • I have been Nesting since June of 2005 so close to 5 years!  I was on the knot before that, for maybe a year.

    Back when I started Nesting, this place was a GHOST TOWN!  This board had like one post a week, if even!  I remember SUwife was here and so was ArcticFox

  • I joined the site when I got engaged, in 2006, but didn't really start coming to the boards until about a year ago.

  • Well I can remember being on theknot website when I was still in college... living in a dorm.. so I would say it was probably 02?? But  I didn't start posting on the boards here (I don't think?) until after I got engaged in Oct 04..

  • I started on the Knot a month or two after I got engaged - a friend had told me about the site. I don't think I joined the message boards until a couple months after that. So - almost 7 years. Ack!
  • Such a great picture!

    I started knotting around November of 2007 and nesting in October of 2008 - I think.

  • I started on the knot back in 2006 when I got engaged.  Ive been Nesting sicne I got married in 2007 but stopped for a while due to time constraints but here I am back again.  Ive never been able to make it to any GTG but am hoping ot make the next one.
  • I think I joined the knot boards shortly after I got engaged - so 2003 maybe? I took a knot break for about a year or so after I got married, but then I discovered the upstate nest board and started making this my home base.
  • I used the knot for my engagement, so 2006-2007. I never used the message boards. Then our married life has been such a whirlwind that I never even used the nest as a resource. My sister got pregnant and loved the message boards, so when DH and I started trying this past fall I started using the bump boards.

    Me too - I got engaged in August 2003, Knotted until probably 2005 or so, then took some time off.  Got back into the Nest around 2008.

  • I started on the knot in March of 2007 when I got engaged.  I moved over to the nest after my Oct. 2008 wedding.  This board is the first I check on a daily basis.  I wish I could nest more but I can't at work ( I actually got spoken to for using district internet for going to the nest...ooops)  I just got the iphone so I can from work now but stupid me can't figure out how to respond to posts yet.

  • CRAP- March 27, 2005 was 5 years ago? Where did the time go? I can't believe I've been on that long.
  • I signed up as soon as we started to discuss wedding plans, probably March 2007.  I read the boards but wouldn't post until after we got engaged in May 2007.  So, about three years! 

     Speaking of the knot, I was over there this weekend and it was so quiet and dead, I was really surprised, nothing like when I was over there.

  • Late summer of 2004 I think, right after I got engaged.  I was on the Nest more than the Knot because I was a parent long before being engaged/married.
  • I was on the PIttsburgh knot board before I got engaged so April 2003, then I started posting here 3 years ago.
  • I think around August 2004?  It was just before we got engaged.... I remember when the Nest started!  I was over on the OH boards then.  There was a schism on that board in December 2007, so I left then, but came back on Upstate NY with a new name last spring when DH interviewed out here.

  • Too funny, my joined date is October 11, 2005 literally THE day after DH and I got engaged! I know that I was on the knot lurking for quite a while before that though!

  • About 3 years I think....I want to thank Abba for getting this board moving.  It was pretty dead until she jumped over her and started posting.

  • Just to clarify, the board was dead about 2 1/2 years ago before she started posting :)

  • I started back in 2006 after Tiffgoddess did.  I went to the gtg's every month. I was on quite a bit, but then I took a break after the wedding.  Then I ventured back here about a year ago.  I had another screen name, but I don't remember what it was.   
  • I just remembered my old name.  I don't know how I could have drawn a blank.  It was FenwayJen!

  • It's says I joined 8/2003 but I don't think I really posted and became part of the upstate board until 2004.  My first GTG consisted of 4 Albany people.
