I want my board back!

Penny66 · August 2010

I am a noob and I really hope that I don't upset any of you ladies because I really enjoy this board. I feel like the waiting girls here have their heads screwed on correctly, and they are not freaking out all the time because their BF doesn't know their ring size or their BF's time lines don't fit theirs to an exact T. It's a breath of fresh air seeing girls that aren't sitting on the edge of their seats because they want a proposal RIGHT THIS SECOND!

PaigeMcC · August 2010

Penny, have no fear! You seem pretty level headed and reasonable. I like you;)

breezerb · August 2010

I am here to stay and my life would be a little sadder without you ladies... even when I'm not posting, I'm always lurking...

Besides we all need to be around when my SO actually proposes (which will probably happen in 20 years, so hang tight)

I have grown to respect all of you ladies for your different opinions and point of views. I think that's part of what makes this board so great is that we come from a lot of various backgrounds and have different morals/standards...

That and you ladies are just so friggin fantastic...

My day just wouldn't be the same without hanging out on the NEY board... I might actually get some work done *shudder*

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: I want my board back! : I don't know how people felt when I was a n00b. We can ask them - Mutley, Hetshup, Jeana, Button, Acro were all here before me. I think KD, Tafft and Oceana were here before me too.... I think the point is that the dynamic of the board is changing. This is not always necessarily a bad thing BUT I believe, and I think some others do as well, that this board has lost something. I can't really put my finger on what it is but I don't think it's gone forever and I don't think it's really anyone's fault. There are different people here than there were before and so the board will change. It happens. It's not a jab at anyone or specifically at n00bs...just an observation. I know, now that the dynamic has changed, people will leave. People have lives and when NEY doesn't fit in anymore, then it doesn't fit in. However, I think we generally have a good group of people and there's no reason why this board can't be as fun and interactive as it always has been. I, for one, will not be going anywhere for a while.

Biitch, I was here before you. Get it right. Gawd. ;)

I think it really boils down to the sheer number of newbs recently. When you were new, or Narwhal was new, it was basically just you that stuck around. It's easier to get to know people one or two at a time as opposed to 10 or more in the last couple months.

I think in the past, people have realized when they didn't necessarily feel comfortable or fit in with the board dynamic and didn't stick around. But now with a larger, more diverse group, people that previously might have left are now sticking around and forming their own little groups.

It just feels less personal and comfortable in some ways for those who have been around longer and are kinda missing the very tight bond the board used to have.

That doesn't mean new people are not welcome.

**Mutley** · August 2010

I think it is natural for boards to change. I've been a part of several different forums over the years. They always evolve. Those that connect stick together and sometimes go elsewhere. Sometimes people just leave. It is the nature of any sort of group relationship.

When I began posting here there were a fair amount of SB'ers who posted frequently. And if anyone thought today's/yesteday's regs were harsh, they should have been here then. I have pondered what they thought or how they felt when the board started to shift and why they stopped posting all together.

For me, I just don't see myself here anymore. I lurk from time to time, but I just don't have anything to say or I don't care enough to say it. My life is changing and I find myself wanting to come here less and less. I have my friends that I keep in touch with outside of NEY. I don't need it to communicate with the people I have connected with over the past year+. There are too many posters that I just don't care about. It isn't a personal thing (ok, for some of the posters, it IS personal.) I am someone who would rather have a couple of close friends. I keep to my inner circle. I don't expand that circle often and I don't care to do so. It is just how I am. I generally do not like new people, IRL and online.

The board totally sucks lately. I stop by every few days but rarely have anything to say. The same questions are asked over and over and the same people reply with the same stuff. I have nothing new (or nice) to add, so I keep moving.

There are a few newbs that drive me absolutely NUTS so I avoid them altogether. I keep in touch with some folks off of NEY. For the most part, I think Mutley has a good point. A number of our regulars are now married or are getting married in the next few weeks. Priorities change. People move on. I stepped out for a few weeks and didn't recognize a lot of people when I came back. I haven't really bothered to get to know them.

The board actually depresses me lately. I can't determine why so I just don't stop by much.

I second the "maybe people are busy in the summertime" theory. While I'm no reg, I was posting somewhat frequently in the Spring. Since the school year ended, I've been traveling with limited internet access - making it hard to keep up with the happenings. Though I've popped in from time to time to see what's up, I haven't really had time to post. I imagine it could be the same with others.

rainsfallsoftly · August 2010

I saw posts like this last year when I was not engaged yet, and quite frankly, they piss me off. The boards are not YOURS; they don't belong to any one person. People who are new to this board shouldn't have to feel intimidated because you want some amusement from flaming them just because they don't know any better. And I'm not talking about constructive criticism, which has its place and is often well-done. I am talking about straight out flaming someone because they are new and naive. I don't think people should necessarily leave this board once engaged, because then who would offer the newbies advice? However, I do think if it comes to a point where you are frustrated with the board and think you need to "take it back," then maybe it's time for you to move on and let more helpful and less disillusioned people take your place. There are many other boards on the Knot that might be a better fit for you.

This is crap.

There are plenty of people here who are welcoming and do not flame to flame.

So who, precisely, is this aimed at? If you're gonna make accusations like this, have the balls to name names. Otherwise I just tend to think you don't know what you're talking about, and your post comes across as a general bitch. It's not useful or constructive.

Two, It's not your job to police this board and its content or its posters. It's a little thing called freedom of speech. People can be as nice or as bitchy as they want here, and there is nothing anyone can do about it, other than use the Block function or find a new board.

If you don't like this board, don't post here. I'm sure "there is a board that is a better fit for you."

I agree there are lots of people here who are welcoming and do not flame. I guess I got a little riled up when the OP said something about wanting to be able to harp on newbies freely. To me, that just rang wrong...maybe she was just being silly or sarcastic, in which case, I apologize for my reaction. In answer to your suggestion, I DO like this board, which is why I got upset (and perhaps wrongly got my panties in a bunch) when people talk about harping on the newbies. To me, this is a newbie board by its very title, and the rest of us are just here to see if we can help them out some, since we were in our situation once. And if new people were to get scared away, well then, what's the point of the board? I didn't mean to come across as bitchy or to make blanket statements about everyone. There are tons of nice, helpful people on this board. You are right that it's not my job to police this board--I am certainly not a moderator, nor would I ever want their hard job. However, I think I am entitled to my opinion that it is wrong to harp on newbies, but in the future I will try to keep this opinion to myself or at least to appear less bitchy about it.

I do see your point, Rain. What's the use of having boards if people are too intimidated to use them? But that's why we tell people to lurk. So they can get a feel for a board and find one that suits them.

And frankly, if people start here and get the BSC flamed out 'em, I kinda think we're doing a good job. Sometimes some flames are called for, you know?

Yeah, there is a difference in degree of flaming, though. Here's a hypothetical example...If someone were to post to the boards that they were planning on buying a $5,000 wedding dress even though they have $50,000 in student loans, I personally think that is BSC. But would I put it like that? No, I'd probably suggest seeing a financial counselor or something or postponing the wedding until they had their financial situation in order. I don't see that as flaming; I see that as constructive advice. However, every so often, I see people posting "advice" like, "if you can't handle money, you shouldn't even be getting married" or "you're an idiot" or "this is MUD." Do I usually see advice like this on NEY? No! People here are usually nicer than that. But there are plenty of people who flame like that on some of the Knot boards, and I don't want NEY to ever be like that. But that's just my opinion; we all deal with BSC in a different way <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />

This is called backpedaling. It directly contradicts your earlier post. Why even make your earlier post if it wasn't about NEY?

**Mutley** · August 2010

ETA: Some newbs NEED to be flamed. Would you rather a stranger on the internet tell you that you are an idiot and BSC or your friends/family talk about it behind your back? Also, if you present yourself in such a way that I think you lack the ability to rub two brain cells together, I will make fun of you. I will point out your mistakes. I will flame you from one side of NEY to the other.

You've obviously missed a lot on NEY. I suggest you go back to lurking or whatever other board fits you better. However, that is just a constructive suggestion. Take it as you will.

It's not backpedaling. My original post was in reference to the statement about the OP wanting to "harp on newbs freely." It was not about the board in general. However, I didn't quote the original post, so I can see how you might think I had been referring to the majority of the board. I realize now that perhaps the OP meant this facetiously, but it upset me at the time, so I said so. Next time, I will need to quote exactly what upset me I guess.

I don't see how telling someone they are an idiot or BSC helps them though. Giving them advice about the situation, such as, "that's not a good idea and here's why" or "you might want to reconsider because..." makes more sense to me personally. Being called BSC doesn't help a situation; it just makes the poster upset and/or mad. Telling them why something is a bad idea and offering alternate suggestions might be disconcerting for them at first if it's not what they were expecting, but in the long run it's much more effective.

As far as missing a lot on NEY, I don't agree. I have an idea of which posters are sometimes too harsh, and I tend to avoid their posts because they upset me. Sometimes, though, curiosity, gets the better of me. I don't want to avoid the boards altogether just because of posters who are sometimes too harsh, because they are pretty much everywhere on the Knot except my local board. As far as lurking goes, I have posted on this board before, though I am not a regular, so I don't consider myself a lurker.

Welcome to the internet. People are harsh and speak their minds much more freely than in RL. If a person can't handle the heat then I guess they just need to get out of the kitchen.

Therefore, I stand by what Narwhal said in the OP. And I'm pretty much a newbie, and I survived NEY. This is my favourite board by far. I love all the posters - even the ones that come out and say what most people are thinking but don't want to say too harshly. I can think of one instance that I really saw someone step out of line and be mean to a newbie, but they also apologized for that.

So again, like PP said, if this board isn't your fit then fine. You don't need to post here. The girls that post here LIKE to post here.

Any post that requires 4 more posts to explain what you meant was just poorly written, wouldn't you agree? Although the continued attempt to back off your original reply is fun to watch...

Hetshup, what about my pretty princess Disney murder mystery wedding?!? That should rank somewhere near the pirate wedding or klassy beach wedding!

Glad to see I didn't miss much while I was gone. :-)

And Mutley, I tend to think the SB's left because we weren't mean enough and they got tired of us. Seriously.

I'm too drunk to respond to this. I will form a coherant response tomorrow.

I want my board back!
