[QUOTE]I think the problem with retelling history is that if you ask five different people, you'll get five different versions of what went down. <strong>I left because the people who made the majority of the posts on E got on my nerves.</strong> Its that simple. For others, it was a lot more complicated than that. There isn't just one answer.

Yeah, I will admit that besides some people just deciding they didn't like me (or finalyl admitting to it) I started to get really irritated with Amoro and some other people. If you want to talk about not liking drama for drama's sake? Well there you go.

Also, around the time of the split it coincidently became very apparent a ton of cliques had started (or added to) their own offboards. This made people much more suspicious.

[QUOTE]What was the pre-change over (format wise) like? Was MrsE crazy pre-format change, or did I find the best of it? What was she banned for (namely, all the posts I see by her are on Mrs_AE, and she posted about being banned)?
Posted by Anysunrise[/QUOTE]
I wish I could find a screen cap of what the old format looked like. we had blue balls that tracked how many posts we had, instead of the medals. I never did receive a single ball. it was a bummer.

mrsE was crazy before the format change. I think that's when she and I had our fight, but I can't remember. I remember her being ok at first, not crazy but very snobby and pretentious. we got along ok. then she started posting "blind items" that had personal info on regs, but she wouldn't say who. she kinda did it to hang over whichever regs' head she was talking about. she also gave people hell for posting on 9/11. after that, it went downhill.

JenGin74 · October 2010

I still post on E occasionally when something interests me. For me, I would get frustrated when I got called an idiot on several occasions because I had a different opinion. Having a different opnion doesn't make me an idiot but I just didn't feel like arguing about it with some of them.

marriedfilingjointly · October 2010

I thought snowsweetie was real because she posts on TB under a different SN now.

[QUOTE]Star - I answered back on page one, but the whole thing with xoxox leaving was a lot less drama filled then people suspect. She really just didn't like the knot as much as she thought she did when the boardwar went down on her watch. It just wasn't for her. She liked a ton of people here, though.

I want to know this almost as much as fishy does. And, who is backwards fish.

Snowsweetie was not Whit. She is actually pregnant (or was and had the baby by now) so some one ran into her on TB a while back. She is mostly just the dumbest person on the face of the earth. She wasn't mean or anything. Just freaking dumb.

When a girl wears a bra that is way too tight, thus making it look like she has an extra set of boobs. You probably don't want this, it's an unpleasant look. You can buy the equipment to make it happen at WalMart.

Blueyed228 · October 2010

Its not really knot history, but has anyone heard from FutureMrs?

missy68 · October 2010

Yes, I was going to say, MrsE didn't GBCK soon enough, I don't think, for anyone. That was a whole pile of crazy. And, quite honestly, one of the reasons I never made a bio.

I still post on both boards, but I don't feel as welcome on E anymore. There are few people who will respond to me over there. I still like people over there, and wanted to feel welcome both places, but obviously that didn't happen. Oh well.

I also think the callout site made many people pull their cards a lot closer to their chests - fair statement, don't you think?

Oh East, quadraboob is what happens when your spanx cuts you off mid boob and you spill out top and bottom.
Hell I don't know - it sounded good in my head. But, the neurons are misfiring today.

MeaghanandMichael · October 2010

Username would jsut come into threads, say mean things about people and leave. I don't think she ever did anything truly horrific like spilling all sorts of personal secrets about people, but I could be wrong.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Ask and ye shall receive : Any one you ask is going to give you a completely different answer. I am sorry to say you might never get the full story because I don't think any one person REALLY knows the whole story. My take on it? I was an E poster for long time. Then one day Beatles, me and some other people realized what a funny shitshow SB was after the Carribean Nesties left town. It was full (and I mean FULL) of amazing threads asking the most horrible questions. It was a virtual playland of fun. Then more people started joining the fun and ended up sticking around because we were all friends and the lame posts died down around that time. Then people on E got really really upset that some people 'left them" (I remember getting into this with Dani and thinking it was lame because I know most people didn't do it intentionally.) Then old rivalries started to flare because suddenly an us vs. them feeling appeared and it took off from there. I basically just left E because I liked the new board better as it was more entertaining to me. Then people started to call me super lame and not funny and not missed and it showed me who my true friends were anyway, so I just had no use for that board anymore. I did get pretty hurt by some people I thought I liked and I thought like me. I chalk that up to group think and 'cool kid' factor. BUT, the longer I have stayed away, the more I do miss people from over there and find the whole thing kind of old now. I have been checking into E posts more for the hell of it more often.

See, and if that is all it was - then the whole "boardwar" thing is much more stupid than I thought it was. From your perspective anyway :)

I haven't. That chick disappeared, except for on her month board (last I checked anyway, maybe she's gone from there now too). Can't say I blame her though - whether she's guilty or not.

Yeah I REALLY want futuremrs to come clear the air. I was really on board with not having a witchhunt when it came out it was her jsut because I wanted to give her a chance to explain on fair grounds. Then she never came around and it pisses me off I gave her the benefit of the doubt.

That's kinda what I think it is... although, maybe there is some secret knot off-board where there is an actual password, that isn't poop, and if that is the case, well, then my life is over because no one likes me.

It is all these things combined. I bet every offboard probably thinks a lot more bashing goes on on other offboards than it does.

Ah, those were such fun times! That was the Wild West wasteland period where there was no rhyme or reason, or regs, and everything was up for grabs.

marriedfilingjointly · October 2010

Offboards are started for different reasons. I think they are usually hosted on other forums (you can google free forums to see what I'm talking about).

The first off-board I joined was because there was a board invasion and people were being BSC and searching IRL contact info and real names and whatnot. We ended up becoming really close, traveling across country to meet up, etc. Obviously TK was discussed, but it was far from the main topic of the board. It's mostly about relationships, TTC, babies, etc. Just sort of the natural progression of things past the wedding, only you don't have to hold back info that you wouldn't want interwebz strangers to read.

TheCranberry · October 2010

This isn't an SB question, but ya'll might know the answer. I've seen people on other boards mention that you shouldn't post personally identifiable info here because posters have had vendors canceled for their weddings, etc. Clearly that's basic internet security, but is that really true? Does anyone have specific stories about that? That's crazy.

She told me that it absolutely wasn't her, that she never would have created that revolting site (her words). She also said that she was really upset that people thought she started it and that after talking to her FI and Knot Annie decided to just ignore the entire thing, or something like that. I guess KA didn't want the drama spilling out onto the other boards, like her local, and thought it best to have her stay out of it completely.

Yeah, a couple years ago, some psycho bride from the Disney wedding boards told us her pumpkin stage coach cost more than most of our weddings'. She also said we all had cookie cutter weddings (because, you know, Disney weddings aren't at all cookie cutter). Obviously we made fun of her, and the next day she had hunted down one girl's real name and said "I bet the dean of your medical school would be really happy to know that you spend all day on a wedding chat forum bla bla bla".

She's BSC herself, though. So there's that.
