Awesome guys, I'm loving (and love-titting, ha) all the feedback! I'll see what I can get going around here today--I've never started a board before Anyone who wants to join in can (but if I make it private, I guess I'll have to invite people individually).
Also, this is not to say that I'm not going to keep trying to participate in December's BMB. But it's like what many of you said--I miss the regular posters who graduated before (and who WILL graduate after!!!) me.
P.S. @DiFazette it looks like your post on organization is getting some great feedback. Phew! Hopefully we can whip our board into shape.

@PensiveCrayon - do we just passenger pigeon you if we get a BFP?
Also so what on earth is a passenger pigeon? I'm picturing a thoughtful looking crayola crayon riding in on a saddled pigeon... And I'm thinking that's wrong.
@Buthayna re: your comment about who doesn't like board organization cause I went to the same school as @MrsDho11 for awhile: an impressive number of people. We got chastised for being bossy and "enforcing rules" that nobody liked or wanted and were told that the world wouldn't end and we needed to all relax (ETA basically what we hear on the SS threads here). Sorry it hasn't gotten much better @MrsDho11.
I'm definitely with you on feeling that way after loss @MrsBinPA.
basically all of this. And that second bolded one just grumped me out hard core (it was aimed at me). So I've just backed off and ignore the irritation of the ten millionth morning sickness thread.

@smmatt08 it made me laugh to...but I can't take credit...it was @cabu14 who coined the term first I should have credited her with the term in the first place (and thought of doing so), but I was too lazy to use the search function to look it up!

Sorry guys--I tried to send out a mass invite, but it's hard to tell whether it worked or not. I think you should also be able to search for the group in the Community area--called TTGP Grads--and I'll accept your invitation.

Also, I'm pretty sure there are a decent number in Nov who are anti-TTGP grads. The first few weeks, they kept talking in UO/FFFC about how much they hated the organization thread and didn't want any set groups to "take power". I don't remember the exact phrasing there, but yeah, I lurk and comment here or there, but I find it to be an odd group that I don't seem to fit in!
Yes, can we please get a TTGP Clubhouse group? I don't know if it necessarily needs to be exclusive to Grads, because I miss a lot of people that haven't graduated yet. I think if regular members who haven't graduated yet want to join the group, they should be accepted.
Also to the @MrsDho11 quote above - there's still some whiner in every single UO thread who complains that we have "too much board organization" in N16. OMFG it's infuriating because we have very little board org over there... It's not the best over there.
ETA: pregnancy brain got me and I didn't realize there was a second page to this post before I posted... I found the group and sent my join request!

As someone from the December BMB I'm not sure why we get so much hate - we've had like 2 drive by's in the whole month, there's been no serious flaming and no drama. You wanna see a cray cray board with drive by's visit the 1st Trimester board. A BMB is only fun if there's a whole lot of people in it. December BMB doesn't have as many members as the other boards.

Request sent! I'm with @MrsDho11 and @MissAmeliaPond that Nov seems very anti-TTGP. And a lot of TTGP grads aren't participating a whole lot because of the attitude towards us, and lack of participation as a whole. This is great! Thanks @PensiveCrayon for setting it up!
I miss you guys!! I'm trying to give the Dec BMB an honest try but it's just not the same to me. And can I say, the GIF game is extremely weak over there. I need my GIF and snark fix. I'm sure things will get better but I just miss everyone! @PensiveCrayon can you please send me an invite? I can't seem to find the board but I'll keep searchin
@PensiveCrayon - help us get more organized over in Dec! I think it takes a few people who like order to be consistent and it will fall into place. I'd be happy to accept the challenge with you.
I'd be down to join a TTGP grad group, as the women here are the literal best, but I still have hope our BMB will clean up soon.
Quote Fail I agree @PensiveCrayon please help us get more organized in December don't give up on us!! Why is there no siggy challenge?
