Remember that ridiculousness about the FB group rules? Well, I feel super stupid ever defending that group on here. Why? Because even if you do your best to follow the dumb list of requirements they still dump you.
I tried to be as helpful, and active on there as I am on here. Apparently that wasn't good enough & they booted me over the weekend. I feel phenomenally dumb because I agreed & tried to be a "good member".
So I really tried to defend them when people told me how idiotic and lame they were being. No good deeds go unpunished apparently.
Eh, fuck it. They are the ones missing out, IMHO. I'll take my TB girls over that lamesauce any day.
I go to do what I normally do. You know lurk & post. Then I discover, much to my dismay, that the group is no longer in my groups & newsfeed. No personal message. No warning. I've been super supportive over as much as I could be. I'm there as much as I am here. Every day.
I like a lot of you, and would feel comfortable in a FB group with you now. But that FB was created practically before my pee stick was dry. It just really doesn't seem smart to allow access to all of your personal information before I could even recognize SN. They are crazy. All of them.
In all seriousness, who has time for that crazy crap? I can barely remember to eat and shower let alone " did I post 8 times and interact appropriately with 5 people on my Internet board ."
This! Honestly, I have to be so economical with my rare bouts of downtime. I can't imagine wasting a second of it worrying about a FB group's rules.
I tried to join that group right before they made it a closed group a long-ass time ago. They never accepted my request. I spent about 5 minutes thinking about it/being butthurt before I realized they were super lamesauce. The fact that they booted you? Confirmation of their super lamesauce status.
Wonder if we can petition FB to add "super lamesauce" to status update options. Then change the group's status to it.
I'm woman enough to admit I was so very wrong about this. I feel so irritated that I stuck up for folks that think its alright to pull this shit.
So I talked with an admin who says I didn't "share enough" because pictures, supportive words, and daily encouragement when I can is simply not sufficient?
I'm not sure how I could have shared more? I shared photos & personal stories. They felt I was lurking more than posting. Liking doesn't count, one word answers don't count, short answers don't count.
And bullshit that "it's not personal". Um, I got voted off the damn island by people I stuck up for, counted as friends & shared personal info with. How the fuck isn't it personal?
Anyone who says I am not supportive enough is not paying motherfucking attention.
So I'm angry and feel like a fool for ever joining. Never again. Lesson learned here.
I can understand. I thought their rules were reasonable, even though I, personally, wouldn't give a sh!t if someone never posted.
Based on your posts here, I have no doubt that you were supportive. It truly is their short-sightedness to blame. We love you and would never want to boot you!
Who are they?? I joined early on but wasn't super active, I missed so much. I'm betting they are reading this, should we send tissues! I hate fb group's and who has time for rules.
The only FB one I remember is the firefighter wife one. She seemed ok. But I have no clue who everyone else is!
Apparently frequency and "quality" of posting? I defended that shit when people called it lame back in the beginning of our pregnancies. That's when I thought common sense would prevail. Apparently not. I seriously could kick myself for believing in them.
Ooh, are they going to come over and start a fight again?
And I would join a group with everyone now. I'm really curious about what everyone looks like. And I'm nosy.
I'm sure one of the facebook members saw this an they're all over there now talking about us badasses. They are afraid to come reply! And I agree we need a Facebook group now with all the cool kids!
Hahaha that's so pathetic that they actually monitor the "quality" of someone's posts. Responses that are too short - really ?!?!? Here's a response for them .... STFU! Their loss prim!
@Stina2012 That firefighter chick rubbed me the wrong way. Way back in the beginning someone had started a thread about how her husband was "gross" (ie never cleaned the house, washed his hands, etc) and she was worried he would get the baby sick. I told her not to worry bc things like a counter full of dirty dishes or not-quite-clean floors can inoculate your kid (obviously in the figurative sense of the word). Her response? "Um, like, I'm totally sure that dirty dishes don't vaccinate your kid."
She was clearly in @ramy3695's second rule re: how to conduct yourself on a Internet forum. Bye, guhrl, BYYYEEE!

I just don't dig FB groups. TB fulfills my Internet stranger friend quota.
Anyway, we love you Prim! They're just jealous of all your coolness

I totally forgot about that ridiculous group and their "rules". Lame. Totes lame.

I told facebook groups are the debil. Chin up the cool kids play here.
You're way too cool for them, prim!

Glad we don't have to share you anymore, Prim!
Hey FB group:
You lost a great, supportive member who really tried to be real.
