Ask and ye shall receive
What do you want to know about knot history?
I'll go first. Who has Proud's cotton candy TTD session pics, and how many more times am I going to have to ask to see them?

And to the extent this question doesn't cover it, what caused the separation of E and SB boards?
I post on E mostly, lurk here, and post randomly. Every seems to be nice to me...

I can only speak for myself, and I dont think my reasoning is the same as everyone elses. BUT, I left because a lot of my friends came here and I liked it here better. I had already been growing bored of E and some E posters and I said as much here in a thread and everyone from E who saw it got up in arms because i didnt name names and that dragged out for way too long. That was the starting point of the separation/boardwar for me.

Last November. And it wasn't that bad (IMO). A lot of knotties like the feature where you get email notifications of replies to threads. Some knotties access TK from their phones and I guess the new format isn't as phone friendly. Given that i don't do either of those things, the new format only mildly bothered me.

Last - what? November-ish? Sometime around then. Apparently they thought so. It was really bad for a while. Slow to load, <strong>lots </strong>of glitches; TN didn't switch. It took several weeks for it to straighten out. People used to have blue balls signifying how many posts they had, posting on all boards, and under all names (I think) and folks lost post counts (especially those with high ones).
A lot of people switched to Firefox as a browser and that relieved some of the sting and kept people from leaving, but some left period for quite a while.

[QUOTE]Is there really a ton of tension between E and SB posters? Any time I see E girls come over here, they're really well-received, and I've only seen less than a handful of SBers get picked on over there. Is it just a few posters that poison the water for everyone?

Im not really the right person to answer this since I became a regular right after the boardwar started, but I used to post here and E and once I became more of a sb poster, my posts on E became ill received over there by a handful of people. I guess I was considered guilty by association. It didnt happen often enough to be noticed by anyone but myself, but it was enough to make me stop posting over there. And I had nothing to do with the boardwar.

It comes and goes. An old topic will come up and things heat up and then die down. I don't have a real problem with most of the posters over there personally, but I have seen some really creepy/crappy stuff go down to some of my friends.
The format changed was a HUGE pia because the knot ran extremely slow for a really long time. Also, it lost many people's post counts which was so annoying. In my opinion, the occupants of this board before us (now on the carribean in the nest) were kind of done with this board anyway since it had become just them as a group of friends posting a la off board style instead of many newbs venturing into their group. They have been blammed for this themselves because they supposedly never let people into their clique.

[QUOTE]Why did xoxob leave? What's the real story behind that?? I miss her.
Posted by maratea[/QUOTE]
She left because she was kind of newish and was made mod right in the middle of the boardwar. It was too much for her. I don't blame her at all.
RAWR!
When the format first changed it was terrible. It's slowly gotten better since.

And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

There should really be an Urban Dictionary entry for boardwar.

Initially this place was a wasteland after the old SBers ditched the board for TN. Then it became the "whiney brides" board which made it a fun board to visit and set whiney brats straight. Some E regs noticed what was going on and started posting here more frequently. To my knowledge, there was no organized migration, although I think some E regs think it was organized and that they were "not invited" or whatever. I don't know anyone who was "invited." It just kind of happened.

I used to lurk on SB all of the time before they moved to TN. There was this one poster Monj-somethingorother that was so desperate to be a part of their clique and she made a complete ass out of herself trying to make them like her. It was pretty awesome.
I like this format much better, but I really miss the bubbles that told you who was online, and the ability to see all the threads you've posted in, and whether they'd been responded to or not. And I mean all in one tidy little list, not by going through all the BS here and then only seeing the most recent 10.

I found her bio and her wedding planning site, but not cotton candy. If you ever talk to Frankie, see if you can scam them off her. I think she was the one who showed us.

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)?
Snowsweetie81 was the one with the b-pics in her sig, right? Were they really that bad?
What was the deal with....callingkarma? No. Yes? Karma something, and the whole Mrs.B getting banned.
That's all I can think of right now.
RAWR!

MrsE was a nutbar forever and always. Format had nothing to do with it. I don;t think she was banned, I think she just GBCK.
