Sorry if I was offending. It was a legitimate question trying to help since it seemed like you and others were upset about why people were posting questions. Like I said earlier, I am new and just stumbled in here trying to see if it might be worthwhile. I was on other boards with my other pregnancies (four pregnancies, three kids) but I don't think they are around anymore or at least the sites have changed and I don't know where to look.
I haven't done an intro yet which from what I'm reading doesn't really matter because those are just taking up space and full of people who don't know the rules. I just happened to have the first thread I clicked on today be the one thread where everyone was sniping at each other all day long and then saw this one seemed to be trying to be more productive on the topic to see if everyone could get along. So I was trying to join in the discussion and see how things here would work.
All of you who are making lists of your A15 besties better include me in that list!
I have a need to be popular :-S
I'll invite you to my FB group.
OH MAN. Just wait until some rando comes along inviting you all to the exclusive A15 FB page. I actually can't believe it hasn't happened yet. We had tons of posts about it on my last BMB.
I can't remember when you joined this board, @SharkFarts, but we have already had one poster (who had never posted anything else, of course) suggest a FB group. She was flamed. And she was sad about it.
I've been away all day without even service on mobile. This thread is fantastic... Here's my (unsolicited) two cents from a two year lurker turned bumpie....
Rules / Order / Organization is necessary. This shouldn't just be a free for all.
I'm pro ticker changes to get to know ladies that share the same due date.
Weeding through repetitive (especially symptom related) posts is the most aggravating thing ever.
I have no problem with friendly thread redirects to show newbies how things work around here
I also agree that these are growing pains and soon enough we will be in a much better place.
Who knew there was so much 'etiquette' on a pregnancy blog. I'm new...didn't 'introduce myself'...post randomly...and feel like ppl have the right to write what they want *takes cover*...
Re: because everyone else is starting a new thread.... (we NEED organization)

That's it.

Big enough to make a belly?
Soooooo... fb group?! That's what I've taken away from all of this!
Absolutely. Please tell us all about it when it happens.
