Anyone else staying in tonight?

Loopyseven

Yeah - it was amazing that we all managed to be here the other night given how rarely some of the girls are around, and the multiple universes of TK lately.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Anyone else staying in tonight? : I do miss FFF, too.  <strong>The last several FFF have been "I flame this newb for being a jerkface"  "Yeah, me too" </strong>and then it turns into chit chat.  Buuut, on the upside, I've never been flamed hardcore and, not gonna lie, that's a definite bonus of the lack of good flames.  If that even makes sense.  I don't know if it did, I drank an entire bottle of wine tonight.

Those flames suck. I got flamed once by someone for "only being in the dramatic threads". Which I thought was ridiculous. <div>FFF is always better when you're not the one getting flamed...I don't see how people who get flamed time after time even want to come back.</div>

<div>ITA.  If I was flamed hard time and time and time again, I would just stop hanging around here.  I mean, I don't feel like every single person here has to like me, but if it was clear that far more people DIDN'T like me than did, I'd just stop posting.  I'm not about to try to win people over.  </div>

FFF's from when I started lurking/posting were SCARY SCARY threads.

There's a reason I lurked exclusively for over a year. Good entertainment but I was certain I'd be eaten alive if I dared to post.  I'm still not even a fan of FFF these days. I'm one of the most non-confrontational people ever, to a fault H says.  I have a hard time calling people out IRL, so doing it to some random person on the internet over something that doesn't really affect me is hard to do.

<div>No it's ok.  I didn't even realize until after I reread it what I had actually typed.  I don't even remember what sex is anymore which has affected my lack of noticing sex jokes apparently.  </div>

I'd like to read one of those old FFF. I don't know that I'd know anyone, but I want to see how harsh people were.

Loopyseven

I still don't really participate in FFF until I turns chatty.  

I'm here almost every night when H is out of town, but I feel like I practically fall off the E planet when he's home.  He gets home again next Friday I'm excited..  And my MIL/SIL/BIL are all coming for a few days that week he's home so we'll be busy.

angelstar975

The only person I've ever flamed was Brandi for her "addicts are just people with no self control" thing.

I tried going back in time to find an old FFF but I lost patience clicking through to find one, and the search bar on this site and I do not get along well.

I lurked a while too, mostly in WR threads.  I wanted to make sure I wouldn't give shhitty advice! And made sure that I had a memorable sig picture and posted a fair bit on wedding beauty too before posting here because I thought people would ignore me here if I only had 20 posts and no sig.

I still like a good FFF even though I usually don't have much to contribute anymore.  Usually 98% of the flames are from another board or flaming some newb with 3 posts for something dumb.  I already mentioned the FB adding, but then it also got tame because most people don't wait until FFF anymore and just call out BS when they see it in a thread.  And when someone comes into FFF to flame something that's already been flamed to death it's just boring.  I can pretty much guarantee that someone would come in and flame the troll from earlier today that got flamed all throughout the thread already, and was already banned.  To me, that's a dumb flame.

angelstar975

I posted on my local board before I came here. My sigs were usually of wedding related things... Shoes, centerpieces, etc. My sig was a pair of blue sparkly shoes when I came here. I didn't out a picture of me as a sig until I'd been in a few night threads.

Beachy730

Not gonna lie, I will never understand why Chelsea is still here. That girl has gotten more flames than probably the rest of the board combined, and is repeatedly called the least favorite poster in polls, but she still comes around.   I mean, good for her if she doesn't care, but I just don't think I would care enough about this board when I first started posting to want to stick around.

<div>Yep. I usually tell people if they post something that I think is bullshhit when I see it, so I don't need to flame it.  If i didn't say anything at the time, it's certainly not worth flaming later, even if I remember it later.</div>

The old FFF's are interesting/fun to read.  Some of them are harder to follow than others due to a couple of old posters that were banned so all their posts are missing but they're referenced by other people so it can get confusing.

I'm not trying to be Captain Save-A-Chelsea, but this is actually something I've been thinking about since I saw the last poll... It doesn't seem like Chels gets flamed THAT much (these days, I can't speak for before) unless she says something bass-ackwards. I was wondering reading through the poll if so many people say Chelsea because it's "safe"- they know a crap-ton of other people will say her, so they won't be singled out for being "mean" to someone well-respected, and they know from the past that she won't GBCK over being picked as someone's least favorite.<div>

Yeah. Amoro, and Mrs E are two big ones whose posts are missing from old FFF's.

Beachy730

Yeah Muni those are the worst.  Personally I think FFF should be for E flames only, not other boards or IRL.  I don't care what dumb thing some newb said on here, I certainly won't care what was said on WP or CC.  

angelstar975

I actually don't like polls that ask for least favorite poster because I'm too much of a pansy to call it out.

Sometimes I like the crossboard stuff if it's really good (link included obviously). Overall I agree though.

MyUserName1

I don't mind when someone says a least favorite poster who doesn't go here, but is a reg on SB or something, but when they say some random newb who posted something on their local, then it's lame.  i mean, my least favorite poster is from my local, but no one cares about that.

Also, Snail, I don't have any good links, but here's where I am ATM : http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/wedding-boards_etiquette_fff-70_.2

There honestly just aren't that many good flames on here anymore. Flaming people like Chels and CMGr is old news. For the record, I like Chelsea. My one and only flame wasn't even from here, it was from SB.
