I find it hilarious that there are so many people who can figure out how to post on tb when it makes a difference to whether or not they get into a fb group. It obviously isn't impossible.
and clearly can't read and would realize that if they ACTUALLY posted and participated the group would waive the post count... I'm starting to feel like a broken record
ETA- yea the magical ability for them to start posting and complaining about post count is hilarious.

Lol, damn. Sorry gals, I feel like I started the "can I join even though" party.
no you did not. You came back BEFORE fb was even discussed. You are not in ANY way associated with the rants You're cool

No way! You came back yesterday, before this was a thing. Don't you go adding stress to your shoulders, missy! Randos gonna rando that's how it goes.

I am included in the new posters, and I can't speak for everyone but for myself it is because I am damn sure to make it known I'm here now, because I don't want to lose this community. I may be a lurker but I'm here every day reading posts and clicking "love it" on things. When my other BMB Fb group went live, our BMB died. I love this group of ladies and don't want to miss out on it. Yes there are other Sept 2014 groups, but I'm a bump gal and already feel like I "know" some ladies here.

fwiw I'm not going anywhere if there is or isn't a fb group formed. I may particpate on the fb group or I may not, but either way I'm still participating here AND when I respond on threads... I make sure I acutally read the whole thread before commenting.
Please don't let our BMB die! That's my only request.
Honestly, joining a fb group makes me a little nervous. But I would love to get to know you regulars better. I totally understand if I am not seen as a regular because I mostly just love tit things.
Those guidelines make sense as does making an exception for ppl that are regulars but don't have the post count. I don't think I'm at 500 but I'm on mobile and can't check. I know I just mostly post here and lately on the tri boards.
Do what you gotta do ladies!!!
Finally! My September Siggy Challenge: TV Show I'll Be Binge Watching
Looking at @beccalou12's stats gave me an idea. She's got like 350 posts, but 800+ lovetits. What if the requirement was 1000 posts and lovetits combined? That way, people who post less frequently, but really good stuff, have a pathway?

@mrsdanielleM2010 my only concern with that idea is that now randos are going to start love titting all the things because that's easy. So the 2/3 admin rule should still override the post/tit count. But perhaps that's a better *guideline* to help the admins?
I like the post count, 500 doesn't seem high to me. I also like the idea of exceptions for exceptional late-joiners. @Mrsdaniellem2010 has a good idea with a way to factor in lovetits.
I also wanted to say I don't like the no politics/religion rule. I think RESPECTFULLY talking about these topics is important. Placing a ban on these topics only further divides people and makes even rational discussion feel taboo. I have strong beliefs on both of these topics and I enjoy hearing about and discussing other people's beliefs, especially if they are different from my own. Reading posts on this board from people who have views that are different from mine has been really interesting and also gives me more insight on why they feel the way the do or make the choices they are making. I think the key is to have a general no being a jerk rule. Like coming on and saying that everyone on public assistance is lazy or all conservatives are heartless monsters would be ban-able/warn-able offenses. Maybe some kind of warning before removal system would work? Not saying it has to be that way but I thought it could be worth discussing.

Oh no! The love tit number is how many times people have loved you! It's a good sign of how well your posts are received in general.

oh god, just realized this applies to me. I started typing my earlier post then had to see a couple patients and didn't see how many comments got made in between!! I think I'll award myself a twatwaffle for today for extending the agony. Sorry all
eh I think my angst is towards people complaining that I don't recognize. I may have gotten a little overly angsty when I saw people with like no posts to their name complaining.
eta- fwiw I recognize you too.. lol but it's not like Im the rule maker. lol
I would love to join the Fb group. To me it is so much easier to post and follow up on post with Fb then the bump. I also feel safer in a private group that someone needs to be accepted into to read rather then a public form. Anyone can see what's discussed on our posts here which makes me not as active as I would like to be. Fb seems to give me a false feeling of security. I'm a little bummed about the post count. Makes me wish I didn't make a new bump profile this pregnancy since my old one had personal information in it. I was a March 2012 mom and still talk to my BMB via our Fb group daily.
I can vouch for this lovely lady! She is on my original BMB FB group.
Oh dear- busy morning at work so I'm getting online for the first time today and our board kind of blew up. I am hesitant to even post on this thread as I don't want to artificially inflate my post count, lol... I just wanted to add that while I like the idea of the "posts + love tits" I think this could be artificially inflated as well when you factor in things like weekly check-ins and HDBD. I see people post on those (particularly HDBD) and go through love-titting everyone. Posting weekly pictures of yourself doesn't necessarily make you a valuable contributor. Again, as many have said, I think it just has to be left as a flexible guideline but not a hard and fast rule (and those of us below 500 will just have to trust that we're exceptional, lol
***STUCK*** First time getting stuck in a quote box! Anywho I think that our admins can easily see what types of contributions folks have made so if they are on the fence a quick search can be done to decide yes or no based on if the person has only contributed to HDBD.
Yea, I agree. It's easy to see if a person only ever posts on HDBD or if they actually contribute on this board and even post on others.
ETA: Oh and not trying to inflate posts here...as I was mobile bumping while out and about today I got the scary warning text from AT&T about not going over my data. Pretty sure if I do, DH's head may explode and I kind of need him to be around these next few weeks. LOL. So regular computer bumping it is!
Finally! My September Siggy Challenge: TV Show I'll Be Binge Watching
It's going to be pretty easy to see who is inflating counts by clicking love it to have 985 and then 16 comments.
I haven't been around long and part of that is due to finding out about this lo late, long story. But it is what it is and I'm not going to adjust my posts or whatever just to hit a certain magical number.
Another thing to consider, that I don't think I saw in the previous pages, is when a member has been removed from the FB group, it should be decided if they will ever be given a chance to return or a one and done scenario.
ETA: In previous groups this ended up being a HUGE grey area, which turned out group into a bit of a popularity contest with a revolving door.
