I've been active on the Bump for years too, back when it was less organized and now, and I think there are benefits to both, but my favorite and most convincing pros about the organization approach are:
1. It seems geared toward community and give and take and not just me me me. For example, you can still post one off threads, but they have to be about more than just you. Like, we've already had threads about moms who've had c sections, threads about winter babies and the pros and cons of that, etc. It's just discouraged to post stuff specific to *just* your situation, like your appointment or your random question which I think is nice. You are *absolutely* still allowed to post a thread specific to your situation if you are in trouble, like a threatened miscarriage, some scary genetic results, things like that when you need support from the community. But not a million posts about *your* specific rando stuff.
2. Preventing redundancy. Dear *god* the redundancy. As I mentioned upthread, the organization prevents the same question from being a thread over and over and over again. And btw, not just one day! Imagine you're on a bmb for several months and (because I swear people are incapable of searching) you have to read YET AGAIN about "hey, I'm expecting number 2, what are your thoughts on double strollers?" when like, *half of the board is expecting number two* and this has already been *exhaustively* discussed like a hundred times. I think the structure of the board (and the surrounding uptightness or whatever) prevents this unnecessary annoyance.
3. It's easier to find things! I will never understand the argument of "I'm so busy I don't have time for the structure" the structure makes it *easier and faster* to quickly check in and sweep through. If I'm busy at work, I don't read through every single post on the symptoms thread but I would happily check in on my PGAL thread and my PGAL ladies because that community of women is important to me and expressing my thoughts related to anxiety and loss are important to me. Or I might check with the STM thread if I have a specific situation I need advice about, like when to transition to a toddler bed. So, once you understand the structure (which means literally taking the time to read one post called Read This) it allows you to quickly prioritize where you spend your time.
Anyway, based on my numbered list, haha, I am clearly pro organization here, just like I am in my real life (hi, I'm a nerd.) But! It's because, I swear, once you take the time to learn the organization, it ends up being way easier and less annoying. It seems like the majority of the people here either like or are fine with the structure, but if enough people want to change it, that's fine, I will engage either way, but my vote is solidly Team Nerd.
To branch off of @maureenmce's comment...if you have a question or something for the symptom thread that you just have to get typed right now but don't have a ton of time to chat, you don't have to read the whole post and all previous comments before you can post. Just make your comment, then come back later. If you want to go back and read others comments, do it. Or not. We tag people in comments so it's easier to know "oh, this comment pertains to my question" or "oh, this isn't for me, I can skip it". I agree, I don't understand the excuse of "no time" for structure.
@CecilB93 Excellent point! Thanks for explaining that!
And @PensiveCrayon (and @runrinserepeat and anyone else who wants to) please snark away! I love snark and want to see more of it here! I'm just bad at it, haha.
Just don't snark too much! While wearing kiddie gloves can be super frustrating, snarking a drive-by (or someone who decides later to leave because of organization, mean girls, etc) is definitely not worth getting banned over when you actually wish to be a part of the community! And sometimes you post a reply with your own experience and explanation and it's mistaken for snark and you make people hate you anyway.
I’ll cast one more vote for slightly less structure. I’ve never understood the argument about organization limiting repeat questions. If anything, drive bys are more likely to scroll the headlines of the last few posts and see their question addressed than find it digging through old week-long question threads. So you get drive by repeat questions either way. And I do find it hard to follow the eight page long threads at times. It’s hard to tell who’s responding to what question, especially on a small phone screen.
I’ll also say say even though drive bys are annoying, the dog pile that always seems to greet them (on the bump in general, not this board which is so new) has always had a tinge of cliquey-ness to me. But I understand it’s a fine line between being cliquey and just wanting to form a community and finding that balance is tough.
Anyway, not my revolution and I’m happy to conform with whatever the culture is.
Back in the day, there used to be no BMBs. Now that was CHAOS and repetitive. It also wasn't for the faint of heart. Spell a baby name wrong? You'd get 60 responses on how you were illiterate. Vent about family drama? You'd get 100 responses on how you were the problem with zero empathy. (That happened to me. I cried. I was wrong, but 20 and pregnant with all sorts of emotions.)
The BMBs really helped to reduce a lot of that and then it was a board by board basis. However, a lot happened when members were mods/admins and there was a lot of fall out there. I also know there have been a few times when long time members had a mass exodus and that helped remove the drama and snark, but a piece of TB left when they did. Needless to say, there IS blood on the walls (pun totally intended.)
I'm not against structured posts at all. Especially right now when many will make one post and ghost on us for the rest of the time. But I do think as time goes on and the board unifies, it is okay to have some flexibility. I know I said it before, but my 6/11 group was a unicorn and amazing. There is still about 150 of us that chat daily. We've been through so much with pretty minimal drama and that community can be possible and is worth it!

The issue isn't as much people posting a singular repetitive question as much as it's their response when someone kindly directs them to maybe post in a thread already referencing that subject.

My A15 board was about 300 snarky women and we all absolutely loved it. Honestly it was all in good fun and when all our babies were born we made a FB page and still talk shit to eachother.
I will address that many of these comments are directed at me, and that’s fine. I stand by my response to someone I felt was condescending and inconsiderate, even if she was trying to answer my question in the process. And so many of you can tell me “oh it wasn’t meant that way...so and so is awesome and great...” but trying to tell someone else how they should feel is like a rocking chair (gives you something to do, but doesn’t get you anywhere).
Again, I am new here. Unlike many of you (it seems), not only am new to being pregnant, but am new to the bump. I will continue to read posts and comment when I feel like it is warranted, but I feel like from the get-go I didn’t get a feeling of “community” like you are all preaching. Maybe it’s my lack of time here or maybe it’s because you are all a little more of a clique than you want to see. All I truly know is my own perspective and that’s what I’m seeing/feeling.
I’m sure you’re all lovely, kind people in the real world, I’d like to think so anyway.
I’ll keep doing me, you keep doing you. But again, being a newbie, these boards (let alone being pregnant for the first time) can be scary, exciting, and completely overwhelming. I’ll try to better navigate the boards without stepping on so many people’s toes.
@Gwyneddlesliegrace Wow! The pre BMB days sound crazy! I mean, I'm 37, so I am probably too old for that kind of chaos or drama, but I don't think that's what you're advocating - you just want things to loosen up a bit after we have our core group and people have been posting a couple months, right? I think that will totally happen naturally! Also, for what it's worth, my very non drama J16 group is also still very close and keeps in touch on Facebook daily as well. I don't think there's any one right way to build a community that's close - I think we just talk it out and see what balance ends up being right for our group of ladies.
Also, for you and the other people who want a bit less structure - what do you really want to be posting that you feel like you can't in our current structure? I find this confusing because I feel like everything I want to post either fits in one of the threads we have, or I could start a post about it because it would apply to more than just me. But I definitely could be missing something, or maybe I'm just so used to the structure I don't see it - so tell me, what's holding you guys back and what do you want to be posting that you feel like you can't?
With my first two pregnancies I had ultrasounds between 5-6 weeks, but things have changed with the office now and with this one my first u/s isn't until 8 weeks 4 days. The wait is so hard, but I am glad the baby will look more like a "baby" when I see it and less like a little speck.

@maureenmce, I am pretty sure I was in that BMB for a hot minute.
I am so not advocating for drama, though it did provide entertainment during a boring work day! I guess I all I am saying is that if my dog dies, I might want to make a post about it and not feel like I have broken "rules" because it's not posted in the right place.
I don't think it needs to be this deep or complicated. I love BMB to begin with and will adapt my "back in the good ol' days" ways.

Thank you for the input! I didn’t really know what to expect, I guess I just assumed I’d see somebody before they are saying I will. I’m counting down the minutes until my ultrasound at 8 weeks. I think seeing (and hopefully hearing) something will make it all click that I am really pregnant.

Ah, I see. Totally get it and I do think that things will relax a bit once we're all here and have been posting for a few weeks and we get to know each other. I'm already getting to know people who are regulars and that's awesome. And once we all know each other better, (or honestly, even now!) I really, really doubt that anyone would snark on or redirect a post of a regular poster sharing a thread that her dog died or something that someone felt they really needed to talk about or get support on. (I could be wrong, but everyone seems pretty cool and understanding here so far.)
@nurse_goodEveryone was new once. It was intimidating when I made my first post on the nest and got my ass handed to me. Stick around, contribute in the regular posts, and you'll start to see the community that the rest of us are talking about.
also, I'll be over here jealous about your 8 week ultrasound. My first appointment is at 8 weeks, but I won't be getting an ultrasound until 20 weeks, so at least there's that!
@maureenmce (just speaking for myself) it’s not so much that the structure limits me personally from posting new topics, it’s that I can’t really tell whether I have something helpful or interesting to say in existing discussions because so much content is hidden deep in threads.
For instance, I appreciated the STM to FTM thread because I could tell right away that was one where I might have something to say/add since I am a STM. I just wouldn’t mind more topic-specific threads.
But again that’s just me and I can tell it’s not the culture which is totally fine!

(I could be wrong, but everyone seems pretty cool and understanding here so far.)
Oh! My old BMB does "bat signals" sometimes if we're ever in quick need of advice or if we're super upset about something. Maybe we could agree on something like that for here? I think something like a dog dying is big enough to warrant its own thread, I know when we put mine down I was super upset and still crying for days after. I don't want people feeling like they can't post a new thread, but also we don't need 5 new posts in one day regarding "Is this normal???" when it's literally one of the most "normal" (if you can ever use that in regards to pregnancy...) or common things that happens. (Also, not attacking anyone at all with this example, it was the first repeat topic that popped in my head)
@maebyemby Gotcha. I do think as we continue to post here, and as we move further along in our pregnancies, there will for sure be many more specific threads! I think we're still in the getting to know everyone, everyone getting to know the board phase for now. I know with my J16 BMB (and even the A18 BMB that I was briefly a part of) as our pregnancies progress things get more focused/specific and they get more personal, because everyone knows each other better.
And I agree with @maureenmce. No one is saying people cannot start topic-specific threads. If there is something that doesn't have a place in the existing threads by all means please start one! The December group just started, so a lot of things just haven't been brought up yet. The issue was that the OP posted a question about appointments, when there is literally a thread called "Appointments," and when someone pointed that out to her in a perfectly reasonable way, she got offended.
Everyone needs to take any perceived negative tones in the posts on here with a large grain of salt, because it's quite difficult to convey tone through written text. Not everyone will sugar-coat their responses with hearts and kisses and exclamation points, and that's OK. It's not personal or clique-y, we all just have different ways of communicating. No one can tell you how to feel, but if you perceive something as one way and a huge number of people nicely try to let you know that maybe your perception was just a little bit off, maybe it's time to take deep breath and realize that perhaps your initial feelings were misguided.
I think we all need a deep breath actually. This is getting silly.
And yes, I realize I am only contributing to the silliness.
also, I'll be over here jealous about your 8 week ultrasound. My first appointment is at 8 weeks, but I won't be getting an ultrasound until 20 weeks, so at least there's that!
Me tooo! Well my first apt at 10 weeks and ultrasound also at 20. Waiting suckkkss.
@nurse_good The real problem here is that you took my answer to you the wrong way. I apologized. You are still standing by your extremely rude response. There's nothing wrong with being new here or new to pregnancy. You are not the only one, you won't be the last. Those who are pregnant for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time etc are not that far removed from where you are now. My last BMB I made a comment about how I was jealous of everyone getting all these early ultrasounds. I was politely told not to borrow trouble and that those getting this "special treatment" is often due to loss and high risk pregnancies. I realized that that person was right and if I needed one my doctor would accommodate. This information made me feel better about having to wait longer since it meant that my doctor thought that my pregnancy was low risk and that was good news. So I shared that knowledge with you and you came back as you did. You never stepped on anyone's toes. And I'm sorry that my one comment made you feel not welcome here. That isn't the case at all. My to-the-point comment might have come across the wrong way and like I said before, we don't have to be friends and hate me if you wish. But I do hope you stick around and begin to feel the support and community here. Not just our BMB but the whole community is amazing and supportive and welcoming and caring.
ETA: @hkom thank you. I agree. I apologize as I didn't see your response until after I posted mine. (I would delete my above comment but DD'ing is most definitely frowned upon). I included need to step back and take a breath. I'm pregnant and hormonal and ultimately it's an online community and everything can be taken backwards. I appreciate your clear headed contribution. I am absolutely sorry for my part in any drama. I want everyone to feel welcome and have a happy and healthy 9 months!
@kristah2 : I have never said “I hate you”, I feel like that would be childish. I don’t even know you. I don’t know that I hate anyone. Except Hitler. That dude was pretty bad. Trump ranks pretty high on my possible hate list as well. But I digress.
I feel like we are all beating a dead horse. I don’t really like talking in circles. I feel one way, which I’m entitled to, and one or more of you feel another. It is what it is and I don’t feel like there’s a point in continuing to moan about it. I made may peace a long time ago with not being liked by everyone I encounter.
I’d love to move on. I tried commenting on a response geared towards my original post and somehow the thread moved back in this direction.
So again, no hard feelings towards anyone. We’re all adults and we’re all pregnant adults which makes controlling our emotions a little more difficult.
I wish nothing but peace and happiness to everyone in this group.
Wow, things have changed since I was last on here. I'm old school. We were a Real Couple back in 2005 and I left the boards after my first kiddo b/c who had time to be on here with 2 under 2. Forget it, I'm sticking to my trail running boards. I can't deal with all these insane rules.
Thanks for bumping this all the way back up to the top to let us know that you weren't going to join the group. It's been a while since I've seen an honest-to-goodness GBCB. Brings back memories.

I’d love to move on. I tried commenting on a response geared towards my original post and somehow the thread moved back in this direction.
So again, no hard feelings towards anyone. We’re all adults and we’re all pregnant adults which makes controlling our emotions a little more difficult.
I wish nothing but peace and happiness to everyone in this group.
I’m really hoping this point can be moot now.

She's a *lazy unicorn* - she's one of a kind and she is NOT going to try. She's just living up to her name! It's kind of perfect!
