What is considered a drive-by?

Beach_Bum718 · June 2011

So I'm curious, I've been lurking on this board for awhile but I just starting replying to posts this last month. I've noticed that if someone posts a BFP and they are a newbie it may not go over all that well. I completely understand that if someone has never posted on this board and then all of a sudden writes a BFP post it can be a bit obnoxious.

My question is what do you all feel is a long enough time that it is okay to post a BFP on the board and not be considered a drive-by?

I think if you are actively posting then it is nbd.. but if you dont ever post and then just show up with a BFP... its a little iffy

It just depends, honestly. It generally comes down to if we recognize someone. and if you've replied in some different sorts of threads - get to know you, questions, etc. Something that helps is to have a picture or something in your signature. It's like putting a name to a face. The new sig challenge starts in a couple days - it might be something nice for you to participate in

I didn't want this post to seem like I'm about to make a BFP post and want to make sure it's okay I really just was curious... I mean I am only 5 DPO but I know I'm pregnant bc I did all the right things (stood on head after sex, used soft cups, held pee for 48 hours after sex, etc.) Smile

And yes I do intend on participating in the July siggy pic so you all don't have to look at the silly blue flower pic!

Optimism is fabulous, but Indifferent There are many of us who "did all the right things" for months or years and are still here. So careful with that.

The blue flower is your avatar pic. You can change that anytime by editing your profile. Your sig pic is the large pic that appears at the bottom of your posts.

ETA: Oh, you might have been kidding.

I hate to tell you this, but if you were standing on your head after sex, then your softcup should have been inserted upside down. Better luck next month!

I LOL'd at that as well. It seems that she has in fact been lurking and learned all the special tricks!

Oh wow, I was completely being sarcastic I guess that didn't come across as well in the post! Tongue Tied

Not your fault. I automatically stop reading when I see "I know I'm pregnant because I did all the right things." I didn't even see what all those "right things" were. Embarrassed

I caught your joke!! Too funny I like you sense of humor! Good luck and if women actually held their pee for 48 hours after sex I'm impressed

I laughed out loud when I read this and I think because of this post I won't forget you lol so if you post a BFP you won't get a flame from me Stick out tongue
