Correct me if I'm wrong @buggirl72 but was Chit Chat not created to deter the One Direction Groupies from taking over BMBs and not wanting to leave??
If I remember correctly they had set up shop over on Nov 13 correct? and then squated until they were appeased with Chit Chat?
That is exactly what happened. They refused to leave when people with Nov13 EDDs started joining and were pretty hostile to them. Why the bump did not ban them for that I don't know. Instead they gave them 24 hours to vacate and then created a special board for them.
:-&
I was part of the Nov board and I really don't remember this lol.
That post is a pretty good example of the mind set leading up to when Nov EDD posters were going to want to actually use the board. Keep in mind that there was probably already ten pages of posts from the squatters on the board.
The reply by the current leader for this week is a perfect example of the attitude that they had - "if they refuse to leave" referring to the November 2013 moms. It got ugly for the people with EDDs for the first week of November.
What a dumb thing to do. Why do they need a whole board to post about little boys? Why didn't they just go take over an anniversary board on The Nest? They are usually pretty empty. Just silly.

FFS they actually refer to themselves as "directioniers" ????
Pink - 7 more likes, and I think you will get bonus points. Just a hunch. ETA - that is, 7 more people liking your posts not you liking 7 posts.
I've been following you both around and "loving it" blindly. Oh you agree with PP? Love it. You had a ham sandwich for lunch? Love it. I'm determined to see my friends on top! >:D<

Ok I haven't posted anything since my intro, but I lurk like crazy. Also I may have just gone all the way through this post and loved everything from @pinkcamino and @buggirl72 . I had to help the leaderboard fight!!
So I rest my case. At 561 I've still not made it onto the leaderboard!
You have been wronged.
This aggression must not stand. @bumpjackie can you please look into the leaderboard?
You know, points aside we TTCALers deal with the most difficult of situations here on the bump. We deal with heartache both personally and for each other, repeated losses, IF diagnosis and yet we mostly keep this board a happy and informative place. It's really fucking shitty to know that we get excluded from something like the LB for no apparent reasons while the "top" posters are posting about one direction and the amazement that is font sizes.
Do we even know what the leaderboard shows leaders OF? My guess is that it's maybe whoever's earned the most points just this week, if that makes sense. Because that's not their total number of points listed over there - and the top leader has fewer total points than the "last" leader listed. So those crazy chit chatters (I missed that whole squatter thing, what the heck?!) must post and give each other hearts like crazy. You know, because they ARE crazy.
Lol I love this gif.
