Coming soon: Social Groups!

BumpJackie

Exciting news about a new community feature!

Coming soon: Social Groups! 

What are social groups? This feature will allow members to create personalized groups, invite-only groups and private groups on The Bump. 

There will be three types of groups users can create. Social groups can be 1) public; 2) invite only to post but visible to all; or 3) private - invite only to post and invite only to view.

One thing to note: Social groups will not be moderated by The Bump, but it is expected you follow the same community rules while in the groups. Private or not, we urge you not to share any personal information.

Look out for this new feature next week!

Is this like Bloody Mary where you have to say her name 30 trillion times for her to appear?

(Removed tags so I'm not annoyingly calling out poor BumpJackie more than she already has been)

Boy, this all seems like a recipe for disaster/jealousy/hurt feelings, no? #coolkidsclub #meangirls #cantsitwithus

Honestly, nothing good can come out of this.

I guess I'm not understanding the point of it unless they're planning on shutting off past BMBs, like from 2012, etc.?

Welp, this sounds like a good thing for those of us with social anxiety disorders and issues of feeling left out. Perfect solution!

Oh god. This is going to be like the times we do O13 bumpie superlatives and I read 14 pages of no one tagging me!

@MangoMama82 tag.

I love us. That is all.

For me, this will just be another feature I don't use--like the bio, for example.

However, I do think they should still be modded though.

psychdoc12

You bitches better let me into your secret groups

hartsl01

I thought this already was a social group

@crunchymama11 I just died. Best gif ever

Why? Just why?

I love all the gifs up in here... This idea is less than stellar.

I wonder if the implementation of this has anything to do with 20th Century Fox acquiring rights to make movies about TK, TN and TB....

I just don't get how that would make a good movie.  Or any movie. Is it a documentary?

NBR posts? Who wants to talk about being pg and their babies all the time?

One thing awesome about this sticky ribbon is @nryan55 pledge.

Nail me.

Der, nailed it.

Ribbon.

Isn't this whole idea kind of like how facebook groups work? I don't belong to any facebook groups but that sounds like how I thought they worked. Did the bump just invent facebook?

Maybe it's because they don't want everyone to pack up and leave for Facebook?

@nryan55

When this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together.

A few years ago there was a moon moon that threatened everyone she was going to send our ribbons (posts) to the FBI for bullying.

@crunchymama11 Let me just jump right in

First your group will need entertainment, I'll take requests:

I'll defend you if a troll somehow gets in (or maybe just jam out in the background?)

Ill keep it clean

Treading lightly on touchy subjects

 

And Im totally willing to cunt punch someone

Let me love this imaginary group

sweettwilight16

Ew, hating this idea. It just sounds like it's intended to cause more drama... which is entertaining, but not so much when you cant join in!

I'm holding a sleeping baby and trying not to wake her with my shaking laughter. These cat gifs are killing me! You ladies is on fire tonight!

I'm part of @crunchymama11 's exclusive group!

Cat gifs are going to make an odd addition to the movie ....

Oh and this is a terrible idea. All of the BMB posts would end up being call out threads as people responded to what was being said in a "private group"

@23melissa28 when you've had your personal information blasted across a public internet forum, information that was never supplied to anyone but was sourced through insanely creepy and probably illegal channels, then we can talk about what is and is not an overreaction. 

Also... lol you at being the post police.

Bananas.

What is this shit is, Alex?

Amjoy25

@has615...that was amazing.

@petdocd...loved that cartoon as a kid! I haven't seen it in yeeeeeaaaarrrrrz!

Everyone else up in this ribbon:

Paging her 5 times on every single board where this announcement was posted was definitely overkill.

Here I am just cruising TB at work

when I hear about this new cat gif group.

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it!

Then I realize it's invite only, and I might not get invited, which is a little horrifying.

So here's where I tell you I have lots of skillz

and offer a cool upgrade to the standard cat-on-a-Roomba-gif

in the hopes of getting a group invite.
