those who post and don't respond/follow-up

Well I am probably guilty of this too...I try to comment consistently but sometimes I simply forget! I also am not sure how to change my avatar on here, or my signature....I am pretty clueless with this stuff! Sorry guys!

Ditto. Extra stabby if you haven't changed your avatar (still one of the stock Bump ones) AND there's nothing in your signature.

I still have a generic Bump pic

Wow! Some of us have lives! Our world doesn't revolve around The Bump! To post or not to post...who the fuck cares? Get the fuck over it? There are a lot of bullies on here! It makes people NOT want to post in fear of how rude some of you bitches are! What happened to the simple ness and excitement of having our babies? I think a lot of you are forgetting what this birth club is supposed to be about! If you don't like a post shut the fuck up and don't respond! Why do you have to get so pissed at people for a simple question they may have? Get over it and let's focus back on having our babies!

Seriously, dude. Nobody is bullying anybody. It's okay for people to have pet peeves. I'm actually really glad we have a BMB where people can say "You know what really grinds my gears? Post-and-runs." And other people are like "Oh yeah, that's annoying," or "Really? I don't see the big deal."

And we all go on eating our ice cream and pickles and being friends. :x

Eh we are hormonal and opinionated. I don't think anyone really takes any of this personally.

ewallace00 · November 2013

If I post a discussion (have only done 2), it's because I'm really interested in the answers. I then feel like I should somehow acknowledge those that took the time to respond, because in my mind, it's just the right thing to do. I think that's all OP meant.. not referring to those adding one comment to a thread and not returning -- I wouldn't look for a follow up response from them.

I don't get bothered by the drive by's or repeated questions, but when it's a question post that seems like a serious issue or concern, then a follow up would be nice!

I'm by no means TB police though

Wow!! I am confused as to whom you're yelling at?

This is the tamest board ever.

Edit - spelling error

That was a lot of "fucks" and "babies"! I don't really ever have a strong opinion on much and don't always agree with those that do but maybe you need to take your own advice and shut the fuck up if YOU don't like a post. I comment on things that interest me and found responses to my posts (however few) very helpful. Im probably not a regular but it is irritating when someone starts a post that stirs up 5 pages of discussion and they don't even drop back in to say ANYTHING

Oh and edit to add: strong personalities don't make people bullies.

Applebee's blondies are really delicious. The rest of their food sucks. But their blondies. Omfg.

Well, I can understand that. She seems hostile!

lalaith50 · November 2013

I'm reading through this thread and just thinking "oh no! Have I ever done this post and run?! Everyone probably hates me!" :-p

jazzyexpo · November 2013

Guilty. Most of the time I just don't have or know what to say. I don't talk much irl either.

Excitedmum35 · November 2013

Oh dear. Me too. I'm mobile and I have never logged in on a computer. Honestly- I don't remember my password. Oops. Totes Soz guys!!! He he (its obviously a genuine apology as I said totes).

PinupMomma08 · November 2013

Post and runs are cool with me, unless YOU NEVER COME BACK.

This. Using this place as your own personal google and not contributing anything else is annoying as shit.

BabyVDM · November 2013

Sometimes I can't get back online to reply for days. and by then it the post is dead. I feel like a big idiot for posting to a thread pages in.

sometimes i am on this stupid tablet and can't effing post to save my life. It took about 20 minutes and 4 attempt to type and post this. which is probably full of typos that i can't corrct.

my apologies for past post and runs

babylimas · November 2013

I just can't feel any passion about this topic. It's absolutely not a big deal to me. Same with drive-bys. I'm also of the opinion that we haven't been together that long and no one really qualifies as a reg yet. We are too new of a board to have posting rules.

I thought it was about a community of women mutually supporting each other, which involves posting and responding...not posting and disappearing.

I never said I didn't like the posts that the OP was directed at, in fact I like the posts so much and I'm interested in how things turned out for the poster.

I'm not pissed at their questions, I'm annoyed that I take the time to respond and try to include them in the community (what the birth club is about) but they never come back.

Who cares. I am surprised at how many people have enough free time to scrutinize this website and its users.

So did you decide to invite the ILs to your family's shower?

Hope those BH stopped for you.

eh, badge, tickers and siggy challenge...you're cool, you can stay

that also applies to @lalalaith50 @jazzyexpo @Excitedmum35 @BadyVDM @Cmmo14 @amandapthompson @futuremrsspriggs @SmittyPants @Kalpa521 there are more of you too so hopefully I don't offend anyone but I"m done tagging..."love it" is easier.

Also, this is not meant to be "admission to the cool club" or any other lame ass things that I'm sure some random is going to come on and accuse it of. It is simply reassuring these ladies that IMO (b/c I wrote the OP) they are not included in the offenders.

I have turned into a drive byer! Oops

not being aloud to work but off of bed rest I have been so freaking busy. Sorry!

Why do you ask a question and then never come back to say thanks, or provide more info, or tell us what you did? This pertains mainly to drive-by type posts so I guess I can answer my own question, but it is still annoying.

Great. Now a bunch of dead posts are going to get bumped to the top for some useless "thank yous"

I could really care less about drive bys and lack of thanks. You don't need to thank me

I don't even care if 100 people ask about weight gain in the same day. Maybe I'm just too laid back for it all lol
