I want to extend a genuine "I'm sorry" if I excluded anyone yesterday in my "N00b Fest" post. It was meant as a special interests board; nothing more, nothing less.
On the other hand I'm glad you all had fun with it. I get it: the bump = snark. Rainbow and unicorn-minded TTC'ers like myself don't do so hot here. However, I'm not one to quit something I started just because of pressure or if it suits me (or else I would have changed my ticker by now) and I'll take any flack anyone feels it is necessary to give me for just being me.
Just because I have never said anything negative about anyone's tickers, avatar, signature, or personal choices (like drinking pom) doesn't mean I endorse or appreciate any of those things, nor does it mean I expect reciprocal treament; you all can say and do what you like. If I got mad for everyone saying how they felt, I wouldn't have a right to express my own opinion. I am glad that there are many different people in the world and just as many ways to live and to be. Rock on, have a good week and GL to you all TTC.

Re: From the "N00b"
This. I think we need a class to go over basic "bumpery" with the true n00bs.... and I think Hulk should teach it
And this probably didn't need a new one, unless you enjoy the attention. Stick around and just have fun on the board, don't take the internet strangers so seriously...
Sorry, *thread. Yes, please Bumpery 101.
Good effing Lord. You talk about quitting the bump like it's a matter of pride or like you started a marathon and have to finish it. It's not like that. If this isn't for you, it isn't for you, and no one gives a rat's azz if that makes you a "quitter."
And also, LOL at "special interests."

Why?
::gigglesnort:: And this is why you shall always be Queen.
Excluding the regs on this board is never a good idea. We're the ones who are here all the time posting, genius.
Oh and, no one likes a know-it-all especially when they don't know.it.all.
And I apologize/d.
Reporting you for taking someone's sig file that doesn't belong to you, at all. None of the Avengers here gave you permission to do it, and I am fairly sure that I know know the person who made it didn't give you permission to use it, either. Get out.
Exactly this. This board is what it is and the few people who don't like it aren't going to change it. Either you can handle it and enjoy it while you are here or you can find another board more to your liking. You aren't quitting anything.
Also, an apology followed by "I regret nothing", isn't an apology at all.

I've got some "special interests" for her.
So you are getting all butthurt that I can copy and paste? I don't see the copyright symbol anywhere.
So you'd take someone else's baby picture just because it suited you, even though there's no copyright on that either? Doesn't matter.

Thats completely different. A picture that someone made of movie characters vs a picture of someones child is a poor comparison.
Nope.
No one here finds it amusing you copied. Be gone.

1. community.thebump.com is a message forum. The different categories here like "Trying to Get Pregnant" or "C-sections" are called boards. When you click that little button at the top of the board you are making a new thread. When someone comments in said thread, it is called a post. You cannot create boards here because you are not a Bump God. You cannot stop anyone from commenting in a thread or saying whatever they want to you.
2. The bump has many boards that all have their own regs and personality
3. The bump's TTGP board =/= other TTC boards (babygaga, babycenter, etc). We're snarky. We're usually straight forward. We don't coddle people when they really just need to hear the truth. Yes, sometimes people get mean. Please know that snarky/being blunt/not blowing glitter and fog up someone's hooha =/= mean most of the time.
4. You are not the first butthurt newbie to try and change the tone of the board. It happens pretty much once a week. It won't change a damn thing. People are just going to dislike you even more.
5. After something blows up in your face. It's better to just pick up your ball and go home. If you decide to come back, having a huge AW post like this is just going to piss people off or have them respect you even less. You should have dropped it.
I'm sure there is more to bump 101, but these are the topics that I think you need a refresher in.
I forgot:
6. This is not a blog
7. flashy and blinkie siggy's are annoying. Some of us bump from work and don't want attention drawn to our screens. Some of us just think they're annoying.
8. Please don't have a siggy that is ten miles long. If anyone needs help resizing pictures then "New to The Bump" board is on the left. If you need help editing out unneeded sh!t, I'm always here to help!
Awesome idea Diva!!! KK you so have to do this... I would love to read the posts Olivia makes!
