*I got flammed (but handled it well and sorry didn't say "your husbands must all hate you")

*I was intimidated to post again....well at least START a thread...but I did for my friend (she was the MOH changing up the Bparty and demanding they pay their share, etc)

*Felt like an outsider and no one was giving me the password

I used to love posting/reading about wedding stuff, and now I just scan over it. All the other crap is way more fun.

Saw the world as too black and white

Yeah, I totally wasn't sure.....  so I didn't introduce myself until people started asking me questions about myself.

crfische

Every time I posted I would refresh to make sure no one said "AND YOU ARE?!?!"

Because that happened a lot.

I also started blindly posting, but not really about wedding things.  I just tried reallly realllllly hard to make friends instantly over on SB.  I don't even think I've posted there in months now, and pretty sure no one over there would know who I am..lol.
I stuck to my club board, and am just venturing out into the big world of the Knot again.

akhensley81

I don't think I ever introduced myself... I just started sneaking in to conversations here and there.

I know! It makes me happy, cause posting actively on two boards is time-consuming.

E was pretty tame by the time I started lurking/posting, and it's calmed down even from that. There's a pretty drastic (to me) difference in the way the board was when I joined and the way it is now.

I remember when Vally was just a bunch of fish in a pond...

doctabroccoli

I used to keep up with SB when I was a lurker, but since I post here now, I just don't have the time to keep up with both.

Snippylynn

I think Fische was my first friend on here.  I started posting right after she did I think.  But yeah, it was eeeeevil on here.  Evil.

crfische

There are just too many people on SB that I really can't stand.

There are those people on E, too, but I just block them, and there aren't nearly as many.

<div>I had two SNs, my first one had my last name.. but yes on that first one I totally went back and deleted things long after the conversation had died down. I guess I was afraid that someone would read it and feelings would get hurt? Fack if I know.</div>

I was was scared of Daff. Like really, really scared.

mandysmear

wasn't married yet, but my wedding was pretty much planned.

was very overwhelmed

it was still PLANNING and etiquette

had no idea that people on internet forums could hate each other and would be so malicious.

* I did not understand the appeal...

* I got into it with MrsE... time and time again...

* I was accused of using a fake signature photo...

* I intensely disliked well, nearly everyone...

I was scared of Daff and Lala. And some of the nommers. I thought they were hilarious, but yeah. It was an intimidating group.

For awhile there, Alix was just bouncing around on Ivy's tank bein' all useless, WHICH IS MY SCHTICK.

[QUOTE]SCORE SUNRISE! :) I remember when Moose and Mandy didn't like me. I was so confused about Jens_a_ten always talking about picking East up at the airport.
Posted by crfische[/QUOTE]

back up the train?  i didn't like you?  are you sure about that?  i think i just didn't notice you.  i remember you had a broken knee or something and people would make references to it and i was like "how the eff do these people know that she broke her knee?"

once you had a sig i liked you.  this much i know.


oh i have another one:

when i first started posting, no one was FB friends with just anyone.  only with people they were tight with.

I did this on SB yesterday...

*Picked a fight with Lala and Manda(I think??) about refusing to swerve for animals in the road, this was when my post count was in the double digits.

*My first post was a nearly-BSC post on my local. Squirrly and Birdie kindly told me to slow my roll. 

*Didn't realize that open/cash bars were such a big deal.

[Deleted User]

I was terrified of Fische.  The first time I saw her post was when I was still kind of lurking on SB and she left half a million "ANNA" posts..haha...I was still too new to know or now remember what that was about, so hopefully this brings up no hard feelings, but I was scared!  I think that's when I discovered my club board..haha.

SB = Snarky Brides/ old E'ers who moved.

Snarky Brides.  The girls you used to know that posted there moved over to the Caribbean Nest board.  So Snarky Brides now is a new crop of posters.  Some migrated there from here and some are just new, and some post here and there.

What did NOM stand for?

crfische

It's because Anna is username and username taunted me.

It's hilarious to me that people thought I was mean. I'm like...not mean. At all.

They all had animal sigs that were nomming on good stuff.
