  Given that you got a squinter last night and brought your FRER to work this morning (TWW thread), followed by this post -  it sounds like you're expecting this to go down any minute.. my suggestion would be to update this thread or the TWW, not sure we need a whole separate thread at this point. I sort of recognize the name. Good luck!

  Yeah length doesn't really matter because someone can be here for 4 months and have 4 posts. Not gonna know who you are. Someone can be here a month but participate a lot- I'll recognize those people.  

  
  

  IMO, it's about community and what you give.

  I'd say if you have to ask what a drive-by is....just post in the 2ww. Don't post a new thread.

  This. Do not, I repeat, do not, post a BFP on the same day you ask what constitutes a drive-by.

  I agree with this and I totally get what you mean... but as someone who is still new, but posts consistently, I'm not sure how well I'm "liked."

  
  

  This sounds awfully insecure sounding, but just because I post often and contribute doesn't mean anyone on this board considers me their "friend."  And I wouldn't want to offend anyone by posting a BFP (Not that you have anything to worry about--I don't think I'll O for AT LEAST another week).  

  
  

  This board is full of a great group of ladies (any dudes out there?) that make me laugh all the time, but you can be a tough crowd as well, and it's hard to know if you're "in" the club, KWIM?

  
  

  OMG so many air quotes.  Sorry!

  
  

  And @MrsSinner402, I agree with @KrissyLeighN--you should probably just update this thread if you get a BFP.  Good luck!

  
  
  This. Exactly this. Thank you for being in the same boat and being better with words than I am.

  When I used to be pretty regular on the board it was anyone I didn't recognize (and I was on here a LOT). My old rationale used to be "If you have ask yourself if it's a drive-by or feel like you need to apologize for posting a BFP... It's a drive-by"
  
  HOWEVER...
  
  I really think that logic is sort of flawed. It also kind of works against those that are fortunate enough to get pregnant right away. It seemed sort of stupid to fault someone for not taking longer to get pregnant. I guess now, anyone who just posts something like this is a drive-by to me:
  
  Hi, I haven't posted much but I have a sixth sense and I heard my future baby yelling at me to test from my ute so I tested and I'm pregnant, bye!
  
  Versus someone who actually shares information which could be useful to some (your timing, how many DPO you were when you tested, what - if anything you tried that was out of the ordinary...) It's a community, you should share not just flaunt... No matter how long you've been here.
  

  I agree with this. 

  I've said before it's not really fair to me to "punish" people that get to show off a BFP after just 4 weeks of being here.  We don't choose when we get pregnant.  Unfortunately, it takes some women longer (and I wish it didn't).  But I'm happy for people that get to leave quick!  

  That all said, it would still be nice to see a bit of posting from them in those 4(ish) weeks.  I don't want your very FIRST post or two to be a wet stick.

  There's no specific time you need to be on the boards, it's all about how active you are. I've been here since September, I don't think I would post my BFP if I get one because I'm not super active. If you're an active member, you shouldn't question it.

  Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

  DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

  Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

  April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

  it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

  June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

  June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

  is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.

  Somebody who is trolling is doing it for the sole purpose of pissing people off.
  

  And trolling isnt limited to BFP posts.  It can be any topic posted to stir up drama.

  OP, @irishtheatrechic made a good point. I've been here since November but I lurk way more than I post. I recognize siggies/screen names but that doesn't mean people recognize mine because I don't post every day. I feel like I know some of the ladies here who post often but that doesn't mean they know me. That's just a different way to think about it.
  
  Good luck!

  If the majority of yours post are in the WTO/2WW threads, please just post your BFP in 2WW, there is no need to start a separate thread. 

  
  This. There's a whole bunch of people lately who seem to think all of us know who they are from posting in the 2WW every day. Like this one https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12240661/thank-you-all-bfp#latest who the hell was this person? Most of us don't read the 2WW every day and have no idea who you are when you make a BFP post.

  I very rarely read/post in the W2O and 2WW threads, so I really base it off of whether I recognize your avatar (I'm almost always mobile) and love tits. So really it's helpful if you've contributed more in the community than just on those two threads.
  
  But generally I congratulate anyone who gives some info and more than just "got my BFP today, yay!!!" That's so annoying, unhelpful, and discouraging (depending on where I am in my cycle).

  Yes, except *meaningful*activity is also important... just posting a ton of stupid crap in your TWW because you think you will get pregnant fast and want to look active is stupid and obvious (jennalking).
