  There are pinned threads for a reason. You should read them.
  
  Also, do you really think that if we did have a Facebook group (which we don't, because we are still weeding out the crazies) we would just welcome you (a complete stranger) with open arms? No. There is way too much personal stuff on facebook for that.

  @hyperangel_8509 The ***READ THIS FIRST*** thread is a great place to start.  Or the introductions thread as these are both pinned at the top for newcomers.  Please lurk a bit to get a feel for our group and jump in when you're ready.  Hope you decide to stick around as there's plenty of great advice and great people, but one off posts clutter up the board and are generally frowned upon in a community environment.

  Early? We've been here since November or before, most of us are over half way there. Since you've been on TB before you'd know not to jump on a new board and tell everyone how snarky they are. 
  
  And since you JUST joined us here in July AND you're already asking about Facebook, you're going to stick out. Sorry, not sorry.

  After the crazy we've had on our board we are allowed to be weary of a new poster who should know how the boards work.
  
  If you had lurked just a little you would have seen what's been going on. Is it unfair if you aren't a part of it? Maybe. However we are all tired of the crazy and anyone joining now who has been on the bump before should know better. Introducing yourself on the Intro thread and posting on other threads is the way to go.

  @hyperangel_8509
  
  1. If you've been on TB for years, you should know that you need to lurk and see how each board / community operates. You apparently did not do this as you skipped over the pinned posts at the top - including the Introduction thread....
  
  2. We don't have a FB group yet because we're still getting and weeding out crazy people.
  
  3. It is NOT early. Most of us are 1/2 way through our pregnancies or at the VERY least we're 1 or 2 weeks away from the 1/2 way mark. If you're due July 19th you should know this since you would be about 22 weeks

  @hyperangel_8509 This is where she got it. You probably meant it as you just joining and already getting the snark but some of us took it as being in early stages of the group.

  I'm still unconvinced of the snark.
  
  Just a note - You could have avoided this all by reading the pinned posts at the top of the board. And maybe lurking a bit. And, possibly, being receptive when those of us that have been around here for 5-ish months suggest a little reading is in order.

  These comments were that the snark was early...not that our pregnancies were early.  
  
  The other early comments were in regards to a Facebook group.  We've recently had a bunch of crazies and are very leary of new comers at this stage because of said crazy...so no Facebook groups yet.
  
  Stay, read, lurk.  This group if full of wonderful, supportive women.  I'm sure you'll see that if you stick around.
