  • Aaaand, just to put it out there, if you were THAT new to message boards, you wouldn't know to put XXP in the title.

  • I agree.  XXP is pretty forum language specific.  And that's also what the bogus poster from a few days ago said, almost verbatim.

    [QUOTE]What does that mean? sorry i am not a big message board user I'm getting skeptical about that statement. You knew to title your post with XXP, which means cross cross post. I didn't know what that meant until about a week ago, and I've been here since September. Just sayin'.

    I saw a post that was posted a few days ago where someone was told to do that on mutiple posts on mutiple boards. like i said, i "lurked" a bit before asking this question :)

    Wedding on 6/5/2010
    California - Lake Tahoe

    Your WW:
    Allison's Profile
    June 05, 2010
    Ceremony Location: louisville, KY



    So you managed to pick the same day---but two totally different locations. And Germany?
    Your first day on either wedding website, and you're cross posting about "wars"--not sure what you are attempting to accomplish...but I call BS.

  • I'm also following your post on WW. It sounds like you'd be happier over there. This board hasn't had a great time with WW this week, so forgive me for being gun shy about a poster's validity. And we're not crazy, FYI.

    Sorry hun--but if you lurked for even a <em>few</em> days, you'd know the answers to a lot of your own questions.

  • I wanted to ask them myself, sometimes questions are answered based on the poster and your history with them.

    I guess i am being over sensitive but i feel that i am being accused of being a fake because i am a poster on both sites, which you all said was ok. I guess im just confused i will jsut have to learn with time what board is right for me.
  • Eh.  Whatever.  This is just all dumb.  I'll find something else to entertain me than some silly back and forth over what's better blah.. blah blah.  This is all ridiculous.

    OP, if you want to stick around, then by all means, do.  I'd start by not asking inflammatory crap like this.
  • Allie, we'd be happy to have you here and it sounds like you do have a lot of questions.  However, calling us nuts on the other site is not the best way to approach things.

    The thing is, you'll learn by being around, not by asking us to explain the low-down of the board to you.

    The way you posed your question to both boards felt a bit contrived to me; like you wanted each board to sell you on them. This isn't nominations for homecoming court---and we aren't trying to get your vote for us to be #1.

    You can post where ever you want, when ever you want. But don't play innocent, claiming you are so new to the forum world that you don't know what things mean--yet knowing enough to cross post. Like I said, even if you lurked here for a few days, you'd know  lot of the answers to the questions you posed.

    Just sayin'.

    I do not disagree, however i am being questioned at every thing i say. I was trying to find out "the etiquette of the board" and what was ok and what was not. I am intending on being a constant poster and want to make sure i do not upset anyone i.e post non wedding stuff, be over friendly and try to connect (as opposed to just ask/answer)

    Seriously, playing the "I'm so silly and new, I don't know how to not start crap." line is run out.  You're a person, we're people-- if you think, "Hm, that might upset or start crap if I said it to someone I knew" then that probably means it'll piss people off here as well.

    As i said i am being accused of being a fake and someone posted my information on this board, questioning if i was truthful. That to me is slightly weird as if because i am new, i am not to be trusted. I am new to forum world, however i saw a post that interssed me and i clicked on it, one of the first posts was "if you post this to mutiple boards XP it or XXP it" i took that information and used it. I am new, not ignorant

    Because there have been issues in the past (distant and recent) between the two sites, it just seems like a possible headache for the same question to be posted in both places, essentially pitting us against each other. 

    I'll say again.  We'd be glad to see you stay.  You'll learn a lot just reading, and ultimately sharing your own opinions and asking your own questions.  For example, your question about favors -- totally logical and you got some great pieces of information immediately.

    To be bluntly honest, i see a termendous amount of posts by new posters (<100 posts) be jumped by multiple members for asking "dumb" questions or grammar mistakes and what have you. I was wanting to know "the low down" and this has been steched out because i answer all the posts and questions people ask me...is that not what a message board does?
  • I don't understand all of this nonsense. I didn't even know WW existed when I got engaged.  I just started posting on the knot, got some harsh advice that I needed, then stuck around because I liked all of the people.  I don't see why it even matters what WW does.  If you like it better there, fine, post over there. If you like it better here, fine, post here. If you like both, awesome, post to both. Why the need to compare the two so closely or stir up drama or call one of them "nuts" at all?

    Allison I'm not even trying to be mean about what you posted about us over there, I'm just saying in general I don't understand the judging that goes on between the boards.

  • Also, you put that info on the web for anyone with half a brain to find. Rach didn't violate your privacy by copying and pasting what YOU put on the internet in the first place. If you don't want to be questioned about stuff, then take your info down. Comparing info site to site is an easy way to spot someone who just wants to stir the pot. You don't want people to use your info, take it off the damn internet. It's pretty simple.
