So this is like the 4th time I've heard someone mention the "exodus" but I've never heard what actually happened. Or is it a violation to even talk about it?

@jenniferjoy37 don't feel badly about that. I don't particularly like being hugged or touched either, although I've gotten more comfy with it. I am waiting for the first stranger to touch my belly once I'm big enough for people to know I'm prego. In my head I would love to have the ovaries to grab their boobs (I am just assuming it'll be a chick) and when they give me a look say "oh, I thought it was it was okay to do inappropriate things today". But mostly likely I'll just meekly back away and be polite...
@rainafire77@SunflowerMama428 I think posting the URLs for the explanation about the exodus will get me warned or banned, so YGPM.

@chucksmom15 I am thinking of you as Harvey heads your way. I hope y'all stay safe and dry.
Thanks! We are not going to get anything like what you got. Schools are closed out of caution but I'm still doing daycare tours and going to work after as of now. We'll probably go home early bc the roads will flood some as the day goes on. The big focus over here is gathering supplies to send ya'lls way. Texas was so generous to us last year when this area flooded. Everyone is trying to return the favor.
Oh the butt baby thread. I forgot about that one, that's some bump pre-exodus gold.
Here's a random. So I was pretty set on a name for this baby but decided to go back to nymbler for fun because I had only been using it for boy names. Now I am annoyed with myself because I have three new ones that are my favorites and I like them better than the one DH agreed to with me. Now I'll need to run the new names by him and hope he likes them as much
Why didn't I just leave well enough alone
What are the names?!

So I'm wanting to turn DD's toddler bed into the double bed, what do you all think of this duvet cover? With light pink sheets?

I'm a little freaked out because I thought this was my DDs room. Literally have the same paint and polka dots on the wall. I am posting a picture when she gets up from her nap!! I think I would have to see the sheets on the bed! I can't really visualize it yet
Oh and also, the mass exodus was back in 2015 I think, or around then. The bump gods went to town with banning members and all this other crazy shit so a lot, and I mean a lot of members left and started their own boards

Adding to this--the bump gods changed power, if I remember correctly. The new mods seriously cut down on snark, online bullying (because, if I am being honest, there was a lot of hateful things said a lot), and pretty much banned immediately, often without warning. A bunch of prominent posters got banned, would come back under new names, then get IP banned. Basically all of the regs switched boards--I had those boards bookmarked, but I seriously just deleted the link from my bookmarked tabs like 4 months ago. The boards pretty much died for a while. I was a newb at the time and didn't post much (because it was scary and you could easily get flamed), but it was a big deal when all of it went down. Now, we are at a happy medium. Snark is allowed to an extent, but this is a community in which it is easy to become part of if you contribute.
@magnolia305 I was in A15 and those mamas were not messing around. Some were just ridiculously mean. I stopped participating after a while and didn't think I'd join another bmb if I got pregnant again. I'm so happy I did because my s16 group is the bomb dot com
which makes me wonder. Whose a part of a group that stemmed from TB? How many members do you have in it? My s16 has about 82 members on fb that switched from the bump and there is not a day that goes by that I don't talk to them. If you do it right, TB can bring you amazing friends and support. Look at me being all mushy
@Aeml1985 the names are Ruby, Jade, and Natalie. I know DH likes Ruby but I'm kind of looking Jade right now.
I'm not sure about that blanket pattern with the walls. I'm just not sure the colors go together. Both by themselves I like though. I think I'd have to see a picture of it on the bed to be sure what I think though.

We finally made it to our house to check everything out. Y'all, it's totally fine!!! No water got in, no roof damage or leaks, the have a little thing above our garage that needs to be replaced but seriously $65 vs everything we could have lost....I'm feeling so blessed.

Thank you for not getting character sheets. Worst crap ever.
Oh hell no. I bought these sheets at home sense, I don't even know where to get character sheets. Wal mart maybe?

The bed is so the one shown. The back of the crib turns into the headboard for a double bed. I took this picture at night so it's darker in the room than normally. Crib is off white
I LOVE the name Ruby but theyre all nice

Yeah they shut down threads and give dumb reasons that aren't accurate. But I guess they don't want to say "This thread is shut down because the OP is a self-centered dick." "Change in topic" lets them blame the regs, which is better for some reason. Can't offend a new member!

I've been lost in the bump hq board reading old post and then going to other boards and seeing the empty shells that exist as reminders to the once active lovely bunch of ladies. I was stuck in my bmb bubble and didn't realize outside of tttc and ttgp that the bump is kind of eh now. It's kinda sad that IF veterans has no real active community anymore.
@seitzy3 Myself and @SarahFoley725 are part of Mar16 that broke off from here. I think there are around 43 of us. Sometimes it's nonstop chatting all day! Our busiest days are HDBD and FFFC, but sometimes our Random thread is crazy too!
@SarahFoley725 You know how I feel about your situation. ::HUGS::
@seitzy3 I'm part of Aug16 FB. We have a pretty big group of ladies that are very active. I believe there were a few FB groups that stemmed from our BMB, but the one I joined was started at the end. Hopefully that's how we do it here.
I'm part of a October 2011 FB group that has about 60 of us. We're not as active a we once were but hdbd is still a big day and sometimes Tuesdays as well.
Some of my old favorite boards were the baby shower boards (full of snark and hilarity) and the SAHM board. I used to lurk parenting once in a while but it was just too busy to keep up with for me
