Facebook group

Last call for the FB group.  Scream at me all you want here, but that group is friendly and not snarky at all.  If you want in please pm me, it's a private group so it can't be searched.

Just curious...why would it be "last call"?

I think because it doesn't go over well when it is posted here. The group wants to give everyone a chance to join but some of the ladies on here don't like us asking if people want to join. (which is completely their opinion and allowed )

We are all getting to know each better so we are going to make it a closed group soon.  It would be weird for us to become closer "friends" and then have a new person just join in.  kwim.

It was my idea to make a cut off so yall can be mean to me if you like. As we get closer as a group and start to share more personal things as we go on in our pregnancies it doesn't make much sense for someone we don't know alot about to jump in after we've grown close. Plus, i think it's better to have a small group as opposed to people coming and going frequently. Its open for whomever now to check it out, you're more than welcome to see what it's like and if its not for you bow out, but don't knock it if you have no personal insight on who the ladies in the group are.

Wow.  Touchy touchy.  That post makes you seem so "friendly and not snarky at all"!!

That's ok. We will all just take the time to get to know each other here then make our own facebook group. It's kind of weird for a bunch internet strangers to have lots of personal info about each other this early on. kwim.

This isn't déjà vu is it? We really did JUST have this conversation? Right?

Right. We did. I remember it well.

Here's the thing..join if you want...if you don't...that's fine too. But there are SO many ladies on here that it's hard to get to know everyone. Not to mention its an intimidating forum for gals who may not be as outspoken or as bold as others. I for one feel more comfortable posting in a group where I am familiar with people's faces and their stories. I just find the bump hard to connect on. I'm not sure why there's so much attitude towards this subject..if it's not relevant to you..move on. and ps..I'm the least "snarky" person you will meet..

Not this again! It's really my own fault for opening the thread.

cuntasaurusrex

We get it. You don't like it here. So find another board. Those who aren't comfortable posting here are welcome to do the same.

Then GTFO? I honestly don't have a problem with the FB group, NMS right now... but I can't comprehend why people who dislike this site are even on here recruiting to their FB group. If you want a small group then you have one it sounds like. Buh bye now.

No, I don't know what you mean, you don't really get to know each other on here.  At least on FB I know if you are a real person.  I am still very close with my Nov 2011 group and hope the same thing happens with my July group.

Yes, 8 days ago.

A group with no snark or sass? With nobody being outgoing...Sounds thrilling. TBNT.

OP, we've seen your posts, we know who you are. If we want to join your Facebook group we will PM you. As someone else suggested in the LAST post about this, you could add it to your signature so we can avoid these posts. 

Actually, I didn't post this. And each time it is posted it is someone else. But like I said.... you are allowed your own opinion. If it isn't for you that is great. Someone else might have missed it and would like to join.

I feel like I'm getting to know people on here just fine, but that's me.

I do find it odd that y'all would come to a place you clearly don't like with a bunch of ladies who you don't feel like you can get to know and recruit for your group. Sorry, like it or not, that seems really weird!

I need you to know that I look forward to your responses in posts like this one.

Yet at the same time that there are such negative and repetitive comments, people are still emailing and joining. IF YOU don't want to join, MOVE ON there is no need to comment. As much as some bumpies don't like the idea, some people do and continue to send requests. 

Some of us enjoy both settings. I can't hardly stay active on The Bump because my work computer doesn't allow me to post (body attachement?) and its not easy from my phone. But, I still surf the Bump for information and read what others are going through.

growing close?  how much closer can you get than this place?    Page one currently has threads dealing with lightning crotch, uti, boobs(separate posts on bras and milk), frequency of sexual intercourse, and flatulence. 

how much closer are you going to get in Facebook?  are there cameras recording all of the above?

Seriously, it was posted just over a week ago, but yes unless it's shoved down our throats on a regular basis someone might miss out on the glorious opportunity to join the special snowflakes over on FB.

Not sure why you are getting on me. I clearly have said I see your side but someone else might like to opportunity to join. I actually go between both and do find things to read and respond to on here.

I didn't know it had to be one or the other. I thought people could do both

Pictures of all the aforementioned topics, just to ensure you're not a robot.

I'm still waiting on my PM to join...  I would very much like to be in the group before it closes so that I can be the mole for all the other closed groups that form once everyone's true personalities come out and everyone draws their lines in the sand and chooses teams. 

I can't wait to hear all about how close and not-snarky they are!

We posted again to recruit more because obviously we ourselves were on here at one point so there are probably still more on here that are wanting to join too. (there have been 4 ladies request to join since this post was started, fyi).  I never even posted on here but was waiting for the fbook group to start.  I'm part of my Nov 11 fbook group that came over from thebump (100 members and still super active) and love how much closer we all were on there than we had been on thebump.  We just want to give everyone the chance. It's no biggie. If it's not for you, scroll past.

Sorry, this is just hilarious.  July '14 facebook group 1.0!  We are super supportive and not snarky but this is your last chance to be our friend?

I asked this question on the last FB post and it wasn't answered, so I'm going to try again…

OP, how do you think people in your FB group would react if someone joined, participated and then began recruiting for a separate group for pregnant women?

Not orginal poster but I feel like I can answer since there isn't an "owner" of our group. I don't think we would care. People are free to visit any site that they like. We aren't an exclusive group that says you can't find any information about your pregnancy or connect with people anywhere else.

I am on both sites and visit others occasionally and they treat me just fine!

How in the world are you a mod.  If you've read any of my posts you'd know I'm not mean or snarky.  Now the other comments on here prove you all are.

You're not exclusive, just a private secret group and this is our very last chance to join. I see...

I'm sure The Owners are working on this as we speak.

so you have 100 people in another BMB, and it's super active, and you're all close....  then why are the doors shutting to this one right now?  are there 100 in this group already?  what's the magic number before you are all no longer "super close?"
