Wedding woes?

mellycat429

Just thinking out loud here, but isn't this board about wedding woes? I've scrolled through three pages of discussions, and I've seen maybe 3 to 4 threads tops about actual wedding woes. Am I missing something?

Haha, I wondered that too. I understand how if someone developed a social group on the website they might frequent it after they were married to keep in touch with their online friends, but there seem to be several boards dedicated to that (Chit Chat, Snarky Brides etc. etc.). So yeah, I've wondered why there are so many off topic posts too, especially considering that it seems to be a lot more prominent on this board than some of the others. My guess is that the long term users that frequent Wedding Woes became comfortable posting on this board, and just stuck to it? Idk.

Wzz

it's a thinker.

Give us a woe.

I'm feeling generous because of Kimye's baby news. 

Check out your local if you really want to find a board that stays on topic.  Most local boards are pretty wedding-centric. 

A lot national boards are a hodge-podge of on and off topic. There are some that are more 'strict' than others.

But if you have a serious question/concern/woe, please share.  We'll help you help yourself.

There are woes posted on a lot of the boards. Many people go to the board that seems to fit their category of woe. For example, if you are having wedding party troubles, you might try the Wedding Party or Maids board. Something stressing you about the reception?  Reception board. Ceromony concerns? Ceremony board. The Etiquette board gets a lot of woe traffic as well.

Ah ha... I think it will make more sense to me once I have tens of thousands of posts under my belt. Until then, I guess I'll just keep scratching my head.

Melly, do you have a woe you would like to share?

Are you kicking out a BM?

Why is this so hard?  Do these people not go to any other boards anywhere?  It's rare to find a board that stays on topic all the time, ever, anywhere.  And why does it bother them so much?  It's not like they stick around to start posting, they drop in to say, "Why doesn't this board have WHAT I NEED" and then leave.

You know why this is so "hard"? Because obviously this message board isn't for what it's intended for, which is to offer advice to brides to be from other brides, or recently married folks about wedding related issues. This specific board really should be for wedding woes, not a general gossip/chit chat nonsense board. It's misleading when it shouldn't be, and irritating that the lurkers on these boards aren't helpful at all, but rather just miserable trolls who delight in ganging up on innocent people with actual questions. If you needed to fix your car, would you look in a cookbook for the solution? I bet you wouldn't, so forgive me if I thought this board would actually be used for what it was intended. You won't hear from me again, I'll seek advice from a more reliable source. Thanks for nothing.

<div>LMFAO, oh wow. Did you seriously just make a "my personal army" call to go harrass this girl on her other posts? Aren't you the same person who was earlier going on about how much you hate "highschool drama incarnate"??</div>

Pointing out where she originally went off the chain so people could see the source of her bawwing is being 'highschool [sic] drama incarnate'?

I'm a regular on /b/ and WWP. If you think that anyone on there makes calls for ~personal armies~, you need to lurk moar. In fact, you need to lurk moar in general.

Say what you will, but at least I don't have to come onto boards to ask how to babysit adults and then lash out at OG posters and act honestly surprised when you get it dished back at you. Maybe hanging around /b/ would be good for your delicate sensibilities.

<div>Sweetheart, no oldfag would admit to browsing /b/ on a wedding board. I'm glad that you found 4chan after it died, became a mainstream website, and was soley populated by teenagers aged 13-16. I'm glad you feel super special because of it. Good for you. You must be one of, what is it now??, 5 users over the age of 19 that still browse it? Maybe you can have a chat with my 13 yr. old nephew about how browsing /b/ and watching the BME pain olypics makes you so cool.</div><div>
</div><div>Meanwhile, I'm just over here wondering what backwoods state is letting a 14 yr old girl get married...</div>
