Belly buttons are weird

Good Morning A'15. Hopefully there are those out there who watched 30 Rock and will get my screenname. 
After all the weirdness of this week, this community has completely changed in my eyes. I joined the knot 9 years ago when my Dh proposed and joined the bump about a year or two after that. I joined BOTB first, where I learned about my cycles and how to chart and moved through five different BMBs, as well as finding solace in the loss board after my two miscarriages. The bump helped me through a key transitional part of my life, but the last week, and really the last few months, really showed me what a shady company they are.
The whole Bump Jackie/Bump May incident should have been a lesson that they don't play by their own rules, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I have still have received no clarification regarding my banning. I didn't receive any warnings and I didn't violate any mod agreement or the TOU. Now that they're deleting threads left and right, whether or not there are TOU violations or not, I doubt I will receive any contact. And honestly, there's nothing they could say to justify it.
This fallout and mass exodus would have never happened if it was just about the guidelines. They aren't that bad, just slightly more restricting. Just know that the new TOUs are coming to mirror those sentiments. The Bump wants better app reviews and this is what they're doing to get them.
Anyway, I don't expect you all to respond or even read all my word vomit. Who knows, they may delete this thread too. But I'm finally out of newbie jail and wanted to give my defense. I'm thankful that I haven't lost all the friends I've made in the last 7-8 years, I just have to meet them other places.
I'll still miss you all here. I hope you all have a happy and healthy rest of your pregnancy.
