Some people might be skeptical of newbs until they prove their worth. But I think most people are fine with newbs until they prove their stupidity. If they don't, problem solved.
And regs can get ripped apart, too. The difference is that we know regulars have a fairly thick skin and can take the snark on this board. Also, they're usualyl given the benefit of the doubt if they have a history on this board of <em>usually </em>not being stupid.

If you really have lurked, then you should know that the ladies on here are very empathic and caring when the situation calls for it. That is why people give updates about births, deaths, etc. They get lots of support from the ladies on here. There is a low tolerance for people who want to treat the guests rudely, want to kick their friends out of the wedding party, etc. That is because it is way better to get chewed out by internet strangers, and then rethink it, rather than treate your irl friends and family like crap.

This is exactly what I said and there is no way she is new and pulled my name out of her magic hat. I'm barely here.
Even now I am about to leave becaue my 10 minute break is over and out.
I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.
"Lvharpy could be your AE." - direy25
"smokeybailey is the one shining beacon of light in this steaming turd of a thread." - daffodil_jill
"The almighty smokeybailey has spoken."
- some bitch on the Las Vegas board
I've never had a problem with anyone on this board. I don't post as often as I could, but I also didn't come in asking the same question 100 other brides asked because I lurked enough before to avoid it.
I don't think anyone here is a megabitch. There some bitchy comments here and there, but nothing to get apoplectic over. I've never seen anyone be "mean" to a newb -- like PPs have said, nothing is sugar-coated here. That's not being mean. If your close friends lie to make you feel better about some inane idea, no one here will.
If you think the people are being mean then why come on here? I don't post to often but everyone has been really helpful and nice. I am not saying this to "fit in" I just find TK a good place to come on and get advice even if it is NWR. That's the difference between here and H.S. mean girls, you can go leave and go to another wedding website.
So, I'm mostly in "lurker" status, but I have to say that from post-stalking you, I noticed that you came here and asked for advice at least once (I read only one of your past threads) and in that post, you received kind and helpful responses.
The ladies here give honest opinions. If a "newbie" comes here asking a question that is blatantly ridiculous (ie. are tiered receptions okay?), then they're going to point out how ridiculously rude that person is being. I've posted a question and got nothing but help, even though I was new to this forum.
I feel you haven't lurked long enough if you're quick to say that this board is, in large part, rude to new posters asking legitimate questions.

DO:
- Lurk. - Make a meaningful contribution to the discussion, either by soliciting advice on a real issue (one that hasn't been beaten to death and back!) or simply by responding in an intelligent manner to someone else's question or comment.
DON'T:
- Make your first, second or five-hundred and twenty-ninth post someting like HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. If you're old enough to get married, then you probably aren't 12. Neither are we. - Insult everyone -- including those of us who have no clue who you are, and have never said two words to you. Good, bad or indifferent. Because, guess what? We hate you now, too.

[QUOTE]So, I'm mostly in "lurker" status, but I have to say that from post-stalking you, I noticed that you came here and asked for advice at least once (I read only one of your past threads) and in that post, you received kind and helpful responses. The ladies here give honest opinions. If a "newbie" comes here asking a question that is blatantly ridiculous (ie. are tiered receptions okay?), then they're going to point out how ridiculously rude that person is being. I've posted a question and got nothing but help, even though I was new to this forum. I feel you haven't lurked long enough if you're quick to say that this board is, in large part, rude to new posters asking legitimate questions.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Tired of you ladies : You know, you aren't the first poster who's tried to come onto the E board and give us A GOOD TALKING TO. It doesn't work. And once again, not everyone on this board is mean to newbies. I am quite nice to most of them. Also, you are just fueling a fire with this thread.

And also, you're like model-pretty. I don't mean that in a creepy way.

DO:
- Lurk.
- Make a meaningful contribution to the discussion, either by soliciting advice on a real issue (one that hasn't been beaten to death and back!) or simply by responding in an intelligent manner to someone else's question or comment.
DON'T:
- Make your first, second or five-hundred and twenty-ninth post someting like HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. If you're old enough to get married, then you probably aren't 12. Neither are we.
- Insult everyone -- including those of us who have no clue who you are, and have never said two words to you. Good, bad or indifferent. Because, guess what? We hate you now, too.
GG.

Well, no one cares about your opinion so, you can leave.
