Weddingbee Wednesday! (XP)

Knotties, 

As many of you know, TK Gods have been making changes to the site, and while there are changes many of us like, there are also changes we don't. There have been a lot of back and forth discussions and a lot things we were told would be happening that are now not. Some of our questions go unanswered or the responses to them make no sense, and we feel we are getting the run-around in some areas, and it's frustrating.

We realize that the boards are not only for regs. However, if regs didn't stick around and didn't post, the boards would be dead. Lurking isn't participation. Only by having active members of this community is there a community at all. If not for us, the lurkers would have nothing to lurk, and even they would leave.

In peaceful protest of the things we feel TK Gods are being dismissive about, many of us plan to boycott the site this coming Wednesday (tomorrow). We are asking that any and all regs who agree do not even log into TK that day so the site will not even get our page hits, which helps lead to profits. It is our hope that TK Gods will see a noticeable dip in activity and get a taste of what it would be like if there was yet another mass exodus. It will only work if we can get as many of you to participate as possible.

Lurkers, if any of you agree and want to help, we would welcome your "participation" by not logging in as well, but it is especially important that the regs stay off TK and do not post. AT ALL.

For funsies, a bunch of us have created accounts over on Wedding Bee and plan to go kill their buzz. It should be a great party, BYOS (bring your own stinger) of course.

Do it!  You'll be cool!  All the cool kids are doin' it!  And look! I made this Hive Invasion badge just for you!  It's all about the badges, people. And the unicorns.

Re: Weddingbee Wednesday! (XP)

  • I love the badge, and the fact that I made a post turn color.  Is there a specific WB board everyone is going to??

  • Someone suggested the E board. I've never actually used the site, so I don't know how to find specific boards. I will be browsing it later to get familiar with it.

    Good question @kje_ I'd like to know that, too. Where are we congregating?

  • Thanks, Linger!  I may not be able to play at all!  I signed up last week, and I never got the confirmation email. Just signed up with another email and am still waiting on the confirmation email. What kind of a world do we live in that Weddingbee wouldn't want me?!?!

  • We will be frequenting the Etiquette board over there with as much posting as possible and using December 2010 as a home base to talk to each other.

  • OK, now someone learn me (that's right, I said learn me) how I put an avatar on there. I can't even find like my home page or bio or whatever.

    @AddieL73 -- At the top where it says 'welcome', click 'view your profile' then click 'profile' and it allows you to edit your avatar there.

    I actually have an account over there but I never use it. This could get interesting.  I wonder how long before we get banned because I already have a flag on my account for telling someone I wanted a real diamond and not a synthetic... They said I was snarky.

  • Ahh, ok!  I was not logged in, so that welcome was not showing! Many thanks!

  • Love the badge, Addie. I suppose I can resist reading the boards for a day if I can go watch the craziness on weddingbee instead.

  • Don't limit yourself to the E board. There's E issues all over the damn boards. It's full of crazies and PPDs and "It's YOUR Wedding!" comments. I feel kind of like it's a playground.

    You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.

  • Signed up!  Can't wait!

    'Waiting' is just plain awful. 



  • Can't wait!  And FFF should be fun this week because we can actually link to the BSC posts and call out specific posters.  I'm assuming that's ok?

  • I'll be signing off TK tonight, too. 
    @MuppetFan - I saw you warming up on WB, yesterday : )

    I would think so, since they're not posts here.

  • I saw that, too, Maire!  Some of you are no longer Newbees over there!

    I don't think so unless something changed, because I got a TOS warning for this thread: http://forums.theknot.com/discussion/970980/anyone-remember-edited-read-for-tos-reasoning#latest

    And for the record, I think the warning was unwarranted.  I didn't say a single thing, either positive or negative, about either the WB post I was linking or the TK thread.

    I'm glad you will be coming to WB. . . I have been lurking and posting on their for a while, fighting the good fight for SO +1's :-P

    THAT's what snark on the Bee is?  Ooooooh, this will be fun!

    How long do you think before they catch wind of the invasion and start posting warnings to each other all over the boards? :)

    I'm in.  I forgot I already had a login over there.

  • Ooooooh so much drama!
