I totally get those of you that don't want to join a FB group but insulting everyone who does want to or has already is just a bit high school like IMO.

Clearly @flowerpower5838 's siggy represents a lot of us. We're just having fun. There were several threads. If we have to see the same ones come up, the gifs are a way to make them fun.

It did not bother me at all until it seems to be a pattern on a lot of posts not just these ones. I keep seeing over and over again how unintelligent, uncool, and ridiculous some people think it is. If you don't want to join this early it's not a big deal at all just don't join. The jokes are fine once in a while but the constant hits I find just childish by some.

I find the utter and complete disregard for reading/following the guidelines is especially childish and this being one of the 7 Facebook threads that have been started since this group began represents that.
But you're right, two wrongs don't make a right, so I apologize if I have offended you.

The problem is that people in those post repeatedly say how mean and horrible TB is and how they want to join the FB groups to get away from TB. So not only did they apparently not read the guidelines or the tons of other posts already started about their topic (in this case FB groups) but they are also insulting and degrading the entire board and TB in general.
If you want to join a FB group then go for it, whatever blows your skirt up, but don't put down the board/TB while doing it. And common sense will tell you that it's a terrible idea to give all of your personal information, pictures, location, etc to a group of people that you JUST met on the internet. That is honestly not smart in the least and I don't think anyone is being mean by pointing that out and trying to explain to people that FB groups this early are not good. And then we all get called bullies for saying that. It's very naive.

I have only ever said that I don't like the format here as much as FB and the constant attack on the people who are interested in FB this early. I am still friends with 21 of the moms from the EARLY FB group from my last son. We started around 12 weeks and stayed friends and we only had a few crazies that we weeded out. I wasn't FB friends with any of them until I knew them better. If your profile is private then they don't see all of the information making the FB groups no threat to me what so ever. Like I said, I didn't say anything about the ridiculous amounts of anti-FB comments until now. I felt like I just had enough. Also, I am in a small FB group and so far everyone has been very supportive and polite. Thanks for your concern but I think everyone knows about the Internet and what can happen.

A few crazies is a few crazies too many for me. How did you weed them out before you were fb friends if you were already fb friends? Maybe I read this wrong but that whole part is a little confusing. You like fb, I don't. That's whatever. To each their own. It is possible to know (or think you know) someone for years and they turn out to be something you would have never imagined. I'm cautious and maybe even over cautious but I have my reasons. Better safe than sorry.

I never ended up being FB friends with them. Only the ones I trusted after time. Anyway same as you we all prefer different things. I like it here also because there are many ladies to help. I just wish the way you have to look at responses and see posts wasn't so time consuming. I am also always on the app so when I search for things they never show up. It is quite frustrating but I wouldn't leave because I still enjoy the community.

I totally agree. Any crazies is too many for me. I see what @torpedogirl is saying regarding everyone knowing what the dangers are and you're right, they SHOULD. But a lot of what people have said would make it seem much more likely that they don't. A lot of people were putting their personal emails in the posts for everyone in the world to see. So clearly they don't know or realize how bad of an idea that is.
I personally like TB for the initial anonymity and then to reeeeeeeally get to know people and make connections as well as just to have fun. To me, it doesn't make much sense to come here only to leave in the first trimester for FB. And to be completely honest, the people who leave TB early are the ones that think a lot of things are mean or bullying or whatever and complain about people joking around and having fun with silly or ridiculous things. I happen to like the people that are blunt, honest, and are always quick with a joke or a post a GIF. That's what makes TB for me. I would much rather stay here until the people who take offense to things like that have realized TB isn't for them. That may sound cruel and I don't mean it that way, it's just that the tone of TB clearly isn't for everyone and it gets tiring reading the 100 comments from people saying others are "mean" when they couldn't be courteous enough themselves to even read the intros, browse the board, or get a feel for the tone of the board/TB. And I really don't think most (if any) of those things are mean or rude in any way.
It just comes down to a difference of opinions. This is kind of how TB is and how it's always been from what I've seen so it's not going to change when people finger wag a GIF party. It's not everyone's cup of tea but that's how it is.
And my comments weren't directed at you personally @torpedogirl, they were general statements about 90% of the people posting about FB groups or the 20th gender reveal post, etc, etc, etc.
@torpedogirl you cant argue with circular logic... People tell people how they think and feel about a subject and other people get huffy at those people saying you cant tell me how to post yet forget that in that very same statement, they just told those people how to post... its a never ending argument.
Re: Facebook Group!!
This gif totally just had me cracking up. It should be the hallmark for those who cry GBCB... see ya!

I found this while looking for another gif and just had to.
DD1 - BFP 7/23/15 (EDD 3/31/16). "We believe in you rainbow" DOB 4/2/16
DD2 - BFP 2/9/18 (EDD 10/19/18). "Grow baby grow!" DOB 10/24/18
BFP 11/16/20 (EDD 7/31/21). "Round 3 FIGHT!"
It's clearly a joke as we all also plan to join a Facebook group further down the line. Lighten up.
