What's with...

The 0% 0 days KTFU tickers?

Mamadeus

WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE duh!

MeatballEsq

It was a silly thing we were talking about in Chat last night. The KTFU came from whats her head that was offended by the term because it meant we didn't care as much about our LOs as she did.

alygoo615

If you have to ask what's with the tickers, you weren't in chat last night.

See what I did there?

ETA: Definitely did not mean any snark whatsoever with this post. I failed at linking it with the "if you have to ask" thread. Tickers were definitely not meant to be an inside joke.

OMGGGGGG STOP BRINGING INSANE AMOUNTS OF CHAT CRAP TO THE BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!  

I remember back when we would get flamed for posting chat stuff on the board.  I miss those days.  

PS.  There is a place where you can have your little inside jokes and squee all over them all day long.  It's called an offboard.  YWIA.

Feel free to add it if you'd like.  It summarizes TTC...with a little fisting in there.

The chat conversation was about inside jokes from this board- nothing new. No inside chat jokes there. There is a fist and the KTFU that were taken from postings on the board. Not from chat...

ETA: Only thing from chat was that we talked about making a ticker. It was posted in an earlier thread and not a "chat elite" thing.

It originated in chat. You can't deny that and as what's her face clearly stated of you have to ask you weren't in chat so you don't know.

I really don't give a sh!t what's in your sigs I was just curious as to what they meant.

It's not just this, my dear.  If I have to read anymore "We discussed it in chat...", "Some people in chat said XYZ", "All the chat ladies wanted me to update them after I peed today..."  etc, etc, etc., my brain is going to turn into liquid and drain out of my ears and nose.  

Maybe you wouldn't consider this an inside chat joke, but there are plenty of other examples to choose from.

There was no reason to do the whole "If you weren't in chat...DEAL WITH IT" honestly, just as I'm personally pretty tired of people crying "inside joke" just because someone's ticker, or a popular song/saying makes it onto the board. Nobody should be giving anybody crap for something they don't know or understand (by choice or otherwise). The internet is full of "inside jokes" and they're called memes.

My comments are not related to just this ticker.  I get that this, in particular, isn't an inside chat joke.  I still stand by my opinion that there is a lot of other unnecessary chat stuff bring brought to the board.

That's what I got from it too-in the thread where you put the link you were sharing it with everyone, not just chat people. BBJ, I get where you are coming from that inside jokes can be too much sometimes.

Maybe I'm just oblivious, but besides the wiggle thing, which I still don't get and just ignore, I don't really feel like there is much in the way of inside jokes here, and definitely not with this ticker...I think anyone who has lurked on this board for more than a day will know most of the things the siggy is referring to.

On the flipside, I guess it can come across as a bit "clique-ish" if a bunch of girls have a certain kind of siggy. That isn't my intent, and if it comes across that way I'd rather remove it because it isn't really my style. Shame though, because I still think the siggy is hilarious.

Maybe I'm just too used to the way things used to be.  I miss the way things used to be.  When I chatted often, chat stayed in chat, for the most part.  If you brought chat conversations, jokes, whatever to the board it didn't go over well.  

I don't care to know the meanings behind inside jokes or care to know about what is said in chat, but I just don't think it belongs on the board.  Again, that's just what I was used to.

This is bothering the hell out of me but back in my college social psychology classes there was a phrase/ term for the feeling that members who join a group after you have joined the group are somehow not as good as the people who came before them. I remember thinking how interesting it was to see it in action in the marching band I was a member of and subsequent groups and jobs I was at. Social structures within a group change, it's just ones of those things and even in my short time on here I have seen ebbs and flows of those interactions change as people come and go. So while I get where you are coming from, I am also not really all the sympathetic when these 'old vs. new' bump posts come out. I would much rather have they dynamic flux.

Fair enough. In the relatively short time I've been here it definitely seems like the board shifts "personalities" when a few key people graduate. I can see how you would think chat doesn't belong on the board. It's one thing for idiot newbs to get some snark, but if 90% of the people on the board who post regularly are excluded, I guess it starts being a bit much. I haven't felt that is the case myself, but I don't have anything to compare it to, and can definitely see what you are saying.

Do you think the siggy comes across "clique-y" (sp?)

It isn't "clique-y" when it relates to everyone and anyone can use it.  We can all relate to it.  Almost all of us use BBT (I don't temp yet but have one), OPKs, HPTs, etc.  If I wasn't posting over and over again that I made it for everyone to use then I can see where you would think it's "clique-y".  It isn't any different from other boards that have a siggy pic.

FFS people I just wanted to know what it was. Chat and cliques wouldn't even had been brought up if 2 posters had just answered the d@mn question like Kristy did. Instead they had to say it was a chat convo and if you don't chat to don't know.

It does seem clique-y because only people who were in chat when this was discussed have it.  What would you think if you start seeing a group of people with the exact same thing in their siggy (wiggle wiggle wiggle comes to mind) and have no clue what it's about or why it's there?  Clearly it's something only people in chat know about, right?  So it seems clique-y, yes.  Are my feelings hurt because I'm not a part of the chat clique?  No.  If I wanted to know what goes on in chat, I would go there.  There is a reason I don't chat anymore...it has just changed too much for me, personally.  

Now, please don't change your siggy on my (or anyone else's) account.  It's been explained that anyone who wants to use that ticker, can.  I don't think it's a big deal.  I just think of chat as a separate entity rather than an extension of the board and I would like for it to be treated as such.  That's my personal opinion, and people are going to post what they want.  I can't stop it, try as I might.

I'd ask. Ya know, instead of going "I JUST DON'T GET IT" right in front of people with those images in their sigs. "Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle" is a "lyric" from a song by LMFAO called "Sexy And I Know It". Someone mentioned the song, and linked to the YouTube. It's not an inside joke, it's not designed or put there to annoy you or anyone else. I think the video is ridiculous and awesome, which is why it's in MY sig. 

Wiggle wiggle wiggle in response to a post is an inside joke.

 You need to simmer down and stop telling people their opinion is wrong or they should change it.

I don't think I'm "better" than anyone.  I might have differences of opinion, but that's not the same.  I was just used to something different. Change has never been my strong suit.  If I am remembering correctly, one of the mods at the time would even tell people not to post chat stuff on the board.  It was just the idea that if people want to know what's going on in chat, they can go there.  If not, they don't have to be exposed to it.  Period.  There are a lot of rules that people don't follow anymore, like taking a step back from posting once they "graduate."  It's the ebb and flow...like you said.

In a rare moment of cultural hipness for myself, I was familiar with it before I started seeing it all around here. I just clicked on your sig link to watch it again. It never gets old. I am pretty sure between that and Donny Osmand in 'White and Nerdy' it is the perfect visual of how my husband dances.

Fair enough. In the relatively short time I've been here it definitely seems like the board shifts "personalities" when a few key people graduate. I can see how you would think chat doesn't belong on the board. It's one thing for idiot newbs to get some snark, but if 90% of the people on the board who post regularly are excluded, I guess it starts being a bit much. I haven't felt that is the case myself, but I don't have anything to compare it to, and can definitely see what you are saying.

Do you think the siggy comes across "clique-y" (sp?)

It does seem clique-y because only people who were in chat when this was discussed have it.  What would you think if you start seeing a group of people with the exact same thing in their siggy (wiggle wiggle wiggle comes to mind) and have no clue what it's about or why it's there?  Clearly it's something only people in chat know about, right?  So it seems clique-y, yes.  Are my feelings hurt because I'm not a part of the chat clique?  No.  If I wanted to know what goes on in chat, I would go there.  There is a reason I don't chat anymore...it has just changed too much for me, personally.  

Now, please don't change your siggy on my (or anyone else's) account.  It's been explained that anyone who wants to use that ticker, can.  I don't think it's a big deal.  I just think of chat as a separate entity rather than an extension of the board and I would like for it to be treated as such.  That's my personal opinion, and people are going to post what they want.  I can't stop it, try as I might.   

I'd ask. Ya know, instead of going "I JUST DON'T GET IT" right in front of people with those images in their sigs. "Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle" is a "lyric" from a song by LMFAO called "Sexy And I Know It". Someone mentioned the song, and linked to the YouTube. It's not an inside joke, it's not designed or put there to annoy you or anyone else. I think the video is ridiculous and awesome, which is why it's in MY sig. 

Wiggle wiggle wiggle in response to a post is an inside joke.

 You need to simmer down and stop telling people their opinion is wrong or they should change it. 

Oh, precious. Nobody's telling people what to think. I just explained why it's in my sig. You have a great night.

Huh.  And I thought you were pretty cool the one time I was in chat with you.  I hate it when I'm wrong about people. 

Me too.  Damnit, I don't know how to cut down quotes.
