@brookert615 There are a ton of threads that just don't get posted anymore because for a while there was so little participation on the board and people just stopped posting them for one reason or another.  
A non-comprehensive list of some of the threads we used to do "back in the day"
Monday Bitch Fest
Twat Waffle Tuesday
WTF Wednesday
Unpopular Opinion Thursday
Flame Free Friday Confession

Some more positive/motivating threads that were created in this thread:
Monday Motivation
Ten Things Tuesday
Well done Wednesday
Thursday Positivity Gif Party
Fantastic Friday

And a couple last ones:
Win Wine Whine Wednesday
Throat Punch Thursday
Furs-day/Fur Baby Friday

I'm sure there's one or two that I missed, but that's a good start.  Not to mention the games that we used to play (Never Have I Ever, Word Association, etc).  Any one can start a new thread at any time that fosters group participation.

ETA I forgot about the occasional Man Crush Monday and Woman Crush Wednesday as well!  Those get kind of boring when it's done every week because it'll be the same posts but definitely a fun one to do once in a while!

@lulu1180 Thanks for posting this! The GTKY threads are so fun sometimes!!! 

lulu1180

@brookert615 I agree!  In my experience, you really get to know the other ladies on the board through their answers to some of the GTKY questions. 

emeraldduchess

I like the GTKY/fun themed threads too. And I probably wouldn't have anything too spicy to add to the After Dark threads, but those sound fun!

Can't go wrong with fur-baby Fridays! Who doesn't love pets?

Pinecone wishes you all a happy weekend 😃

brookert615

Is it me or is it weird that there's no January BMB waiting room thread OR an actual January BMB? I like to creep so hard and this is throwing me off lol.

Open letter to people who are told about others’ TTC struggles *TW others’ pregnancy mentioned* DO NOT tell said person who you know is not having an easy time how your daughter had kids 19 months apart and got KU with her second son on her first try because she’s “getting up there in age” (same age as you) and then sprinkle in how your own daughters are only 10 months apart. */TW*

mercury94

@NYTino24 People suck. That was actually in response to learning about you TTC issues? Awful. I’ve had friends respond with *TW* “Yeah, it took us a while with our second” (a while being 3 months after they stopped using protection) when I was explaining how PCOS/IF works in my life, but that’s ignorance. */TW* Yours seems like a general lack of human decency.

WTF WITH THAT DRIVE BY???

kbrown2385

I’m trying to restrain myself from name calling. I don’t even know if I’m making sense in my post, I’m so annoyed.

@kbrown2385 that post breaks like, literally every rule in the book of what not to say to anyone TTC!!

***Internally screaming***

kbrown2385

@inthewoods23 just relax and have fun. That’s the key to all of this apparently

kbrown2385

I’m kind of annoyed they closed that so quick

inthewoods23

@kbrown2385 guess I'm doing relaxing and having fun wrong!

mercury94

Man, I was in the middle of typing with my Ron Swanson GIF ready to go. 



This is is what I get for being so slow at typing on my phone. 

inthewoods23

Oh man, there's not even a message from the admin!

ETA: NVM, it showed up minutes later. Weird.

emeraldduchess

They closed it before I could reply with some Sassy Judy...

mercury94

Also, she’s been on TB for 3 years? But that is her only post? I feel like I’m going insane. 

inthewoods23

I have never seen a more true from of the "you just walked into a fertility clinic to tell people you're pregnant" line than that post right there.

I really want to dissect every line of the post to show just how terrible it was.

kbrown2385

A SHIFT IN TOPIC??? 

inthewoods23

@mercury94 it looks like she's posted a few times (based on number of points) but I'm also on the mobile app which doesn't show everything that you can see on the website

@kbrown2385 cuz apparently closing it due to violating TOU isn't a thing *sigh*

mercury94

@inthewoods23 I’m on mobile too. I can see all of my posts if I search for my username, but nothing else comes up for her. 

MJDsquared

Her only post is today's. Points could be for her three anniversary badges. Maybe she was on the Knot? I'm not sure how that works.

mercury94

At least they removed the pee sticks, but no mention that you shouldn’t post them. Frustrated. 

inthewoods23

@MJDsquared oh that's possible. Maybe you do get points for anniversaries.

I hope she got warnings up the wazoo for that post. So inappropriate.

mercury94

@inthewoods23 That’s one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time. Can’t even imagine what she would have said given the chance to respond to us. Something like, “Just trying to give you ladies some hope. Relax and keep trying.” 

keikilove

@all my friends here OMGawd! I don’t ever get bothered by drive-bys but that was OUT OF CONTROL. I now understand your irritation, especially with the BGs closing it for “shift in topic”. ??? And the last one was closed for “unwelcoming tone” when it was clearly spam/phishing?!

THIS is a shift in topic: @kbrown2385 That gif looks kinda like a young Kyle from RHOBeverlyHills. 

NYTino24

@mercury94 yes, ma’am! SMDH.

Ummm so my gif game is seriously suffering and these drivebys always seem to happen during the day when I’m working... any suggestions on the best places to get gifs that are easy to save on an iPhone? It used to be so easy and now it’s like impossible to save them since they’re all from giphy. 

kbrown2385

@keikilove when I was scrolling through gifs that’s exactly what I thought! I had to do a double take to realize it was Ziva. 

kbrown2385

@NYTino24 I just do a google search for whatever you’re looking for and add gif on the end and go to images. Once there I click on the ones I want and then hold down to pull up the menu and hit save image.

bows22

@kagesstarshroom we’re going to head to Frenchmen street later, what’s a good time to go??

kagesstarshroom

@bows22 It's the most fun at night! But there's probably music in the bars and such all day, I would bet--the art market isn't open til late 7pm-1am. Is it gonna rain over there today? IDK if this storm we're getting (2 hours west) is headed in yr direction or north.)

bows22

@kagesstarshroom night like 7 or night like 11? hahaha. yes storms all day it looks like. 

kagesstarshroom

@bows22 Like an adult person's night haha, so yeah I would say 7. I've been there in the late afternoon, too, and it's fun. I also just like checking out the art market-- I bought this super cute ring there once that's like one of my fave pieces of jewelry. 

bows22

@kagesstarshroom oh that sounds perfect. Thank you!!

bows22

@kagesstarshroom we love it here! DH tried to tip the band enough to play “country roads” which obviously didn’t happen....but that’s what you do where we’re from... @brookert615 where you at? my day late fffc is that I’m a slight yinzer...

brookert615

@bows22 Hahaha oh - I’m a yinzer lol. Born and raised in the Burgh 😂. That’s awesome, though! What do you consider slight yinzer? 

bows22

@brookert615 I grew up a little bit south so I don’t consider myself 100% Pittsburgh therefore slight yinzer haha

brookert615

@bows22 I grew up in the south hills! Is that what you mean by south? I’d you're from South Western PA you’re def yinzer lol. Embrace it 😂. 

So last night got crazy when I was with my friend who was getting a tattoo and I got my ears pierced lol! Second hole but I told the piercer “I’m a big girl now!”
