I do agree with @legallykate that people dislike having their own foolishness pointed out to them. I don't know how anyone in the age range of 20-50 does not understand online message boards tbh. I was a regular on the WW message boards 10+ years ago, and understood quickly that each board has it's own culture. That's just how message boards work!

@krash_ I've always wondered how it works because I know there have been times where EVERYBODY comes in and says something and threads will be pages long before it's finally shut down. Do they not see these things until somebody clicks on the report button?

I sort of have the "boo you got married after me and are having a baby before me" attitude about the whole thing which I know I should just get over. We did go to high school together so I feel I probably should get her something... And if I do, how much is reasonable?

But I agree with @mvt2003 you can prolly check like Target/Walmart and Amazon and see if you find a registry. But something small like a pack of onesies or some burp cloths or something and be done is what I'd do.
i'd do a quick google search for registry because they're easy enough to find.
i'll give you how i base what i give, though it's just the way i do things
i haven't thought about if i would spend more/less based on current situation, though i guess for me personally i might do a little less because a) my cut salary and b) there wasn't really an expense in putting together the shower and i'm not "covering my plate," so to speak.

@capnjackharkness I think they originally planned on holding it in person but held off on sending any kind of invite with the stay at home orders to see if they would get extended (which they did) so they switched to the virtual shower.
@asf0613 yeah for an acquaintance I give myself like a $50 max budget. Something that won't break the bank but it's just 1 small item. Currently saving up for a new Tesla, so would it be weird for me to be cheap on the gift and come home many weeks later with a shiny new car?
I'm also a little salty because over the weekend I watched a USPS driver, a UPS drive, AND a FedEx driver all come to their door on the same day with, I'm presuming, baby items. Like COME ON. Cuz of course their front door faces our living room. I liked it better when I could see their cat in the doorway haha.

I think it's absolutely this. I don't think they look at anything unless someone reports something. I was scrolling through the list of boards and saw that a couple of the ones that are almost never posted in had new posts, the health board, I think, for one. And it was one of those stupid book spam posts. It had been up for days at that point. And then it was removed after I reported it.
