Reading some of those gives me a severe mindfuck.

Can you imagine, you're engaged and you decide to start posting on the boards and you see your own pictures because SOMEONE STOLE THEM TO POST HERE?

Someone stole my sister's FB pics and used them for her myspace profile. One of her friends found it. It was crazy.

....what the hell is wrong with people?

After reading post secret, apparently a lot. Some of them make me so sad.

xoxob

They really are.

These women in abusive relationships... it's heartbreaking

The one about feeling invisible on TK made me want to give her a hug.

And Nat, I love your sig quote.

That's pretty creepy. I don't know what makes people do those kind of things. Makes me want to take some of my pictures off TK and FB... but some of them are so cute!

I don't understand posting on here without being engaged. But I am pretty closed minded.

That kind of (in a weird non-knot way) happened to my FI.  He has very common first name, and a unique, but not out there last name, so he's not the only one of his kind.  Someone with the same name friended random people, but also a ton of his family members, who didn't know it wasn't him, and even FB chatted with his brothers.  He also put up a picture of my FI as his profile pic.  FI reported it, and it was taken down, but holy creppy

I don't know what to say about this.

For someone who knows we don't give a rat's ass about what you think, you certainly have a problem making yourself sparse, don't you?

Since we're all just internet bullies and you're in a position to criticize - buzz off.

Or, you just have a big ole' lesbian crush on us.

I thought the same thing... what do you really get out of it?? Oh well, to each their own!!

kimheartsscott

I had an account on here before I was engaged.  I don't see why that would be a BFD.

Did you know that there's a whole board dedicated to these ladies? It's called "Not Engaged Yet," and it's a pretty hopping board. ;) I think with the big cultural emphasis on weddings these days, it makes sense that women who are already anticipating a proposal and have wedding ideas would want to post here to await that time in their lives. I personally wouldn't have done it, but I can understand how others might.

There are also people on this board who have been engaged, but then weren't anymore, but they've formed relationships here and enjoy chatting about everything BUT weddings, so they stick around. :) The good thing is that, should they become engaged again at some point, they'll already be a part of this community and will be all set with wedding planning support.

Edit: Some people come here as BMs or MOBs as well, and need planning help for a friend or family member. It's really quite the diverse group here.

mRosenberg

heh I was just talking about the girl that isn't dating anyone and stole someones picture to post here. I understand the community aspect of the board and not leaving just because you arent engaged anymore. 

AllenBaker

It doesn't strike me as strange if you are with someone and you and your boyfriend have been talking about getting married... but, if you are single? Wouldn't it be awkward to start dating someone new and they find out you are on the knot all the time? That would make them head for the hills, I can imagine.

I feel really bad for that person, because she is clearly very unhappy.

I mean, it's one thing to be on here when you're not in a relationship or not engaged, because you like talking about weddings or being on message boards, but to have this whole lie that you're living in and stealing someone's pictures. I think the saddest part is that she would rather risk being caught because she feels liked on the boards.

I know some regs have AEs and I don't understand that, really either.

I post on another community for mothers (Baby Center) and someone stole pictures of another mother's child. She pretended to be a teen mother and created all this drama on the Pregnant Teenagers board.

http://community.babycenter.com/post/a3916165/impersonation_alert_please_read?intcmp=SPGroupSearchResult_SPGroupSearch_textlink

It was really scary for this woman to find this out.

I would seriously advice the person who is "faking" to be another posting to stop faking and post under her real self. Pretty please?

mRosenberg

I am such a newb but what is an AE? and honestly, what is this about "offboards"?

xoxob

alter egos.

I didn't know what an offboard is until yesterday! It's another board that is not on TK where people go to talk about other knotties and stuff, I guess.

I don't know.

BtrflyKate, that is AWFUL. I feel like I would feel better about myself being hi-jacked over my child.

That lady's daughter is named Cemberlyne. I can not even wrap my brain around that name.

btrflykate1230

Yeah, I feel the same way. Steal whatever pictures you want of me, but once you get to my kid... I would be shaking from anger.
