QOTD
Do you like a nest/knot board that is all puppies and rainbows, mostly snark, or just honest (which would be a mix of both I guess)?
And which do you think our board is?

Re: QOTD
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Agreed.

I honestly have a little snark lately, but I'm trying to filter myself.
Honest - a mix of both. I don't want ALL puppies and rainbows, but I don't want to be afraid to post, either. There's a balance.
I think of our board as 'home' in a sense - you ladies are familiar, understanding, and generally nice, but won't blow smoke either. If someone needs to hear the truth, maybe the ugly truth, someone will speak up. I like that. And we're not afraid to disuss something, and agree to disagree. That's ok too - we don't have to be in 100% agreement on a topic to have valid opinions.

I like an honest board, unless I'm trying to entertain myself, and then I love a good snarking. (is that a word?)
I think of this board as home as well. It's on my favorites toolbar so I can come straight here. There's always a mix of fun and serious matters. I don't want to hear about how amazing life is all the time. Sometimes I need to know that other people are in my situation.
I like honesty. I think it's good to have a generally nice board, but I don't like it when people are too afraid to offend people. I would say I think this board is honest but leans more towards puppies & rainbows. But what I actually think it is is this board really practices "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Because there are posts where I think, man I want to say something snarky about that, and sometimes I do. But when no one else does, I end up feeling bad. I also notice when I see a post, that on most boards would get a lot of snark, it gets very few replies.
Ditto. I could use a little more snark in my life though

Well that was a crazy couple of years.
For the most part, I think this board is honest. I post sporadically and am not really comfortable bringing the snark here -- there's a sense of community that goes back to the wedding planning days when I wasn't around, so I hold back my snark (and save it for Jezebel.com).
I like to read snark on the Knot/Nest boards, but don't really participate in it; I just can't keep up.
tritto. i kinda of dropped off the 8/09 board because there hasn't been much activity, and a poster who makes me stabby. if i posted with more frequency, the snark would be in full force.
My thoughts exactly. Between this post and your "judge" post yesterday, I am totally with you.
I prefer honest with a mix of both. I can't stand boards that are all snark, but I also can't stand the cumbaya boards either. I like it here. For the most part, we're all very honest when someone asks an opinion without getting snarky and I like it like that.
There has been more than one occasion when I try to let sleeping dogs lie, and I can't and I come say something to get a word in, but I always chicken out and sugar coat it from what I really mean... But I **completely** know specifically of at least one instance you are talking about.

Haha. I heart you. And Auguri, you too. I'm glad someone agrees with me.
Omigosh an appearance from sreihing!
O-H!

I-O!
I think you should stay. It's kind of apparent we'd be okay with a little more snark...
Yes, I wouldn't mind a little honest snark.
Agree completely...
I haven't been around much lately with work being crazy...by I am super snarky IRL lately since I am really sick of dealing with other people's bull sh*t...like, to the point I am going to get myself in trouble...

I like honesty and I think mostly everyone is on this board. I hate the unnecessary snark on a few other boards. I mean, are some people just really bored.all.the.time.
I'd love to throw some snark on GP but I've held my tongue since my opinion would likely p/o a bunch of regulars (but not my lovely Aug 09 GP nestie friends)
