I am super tired of the 'look at me I am so witty and funny and blah blah blah' posts. Post about your wedding!!!!! Post your questions, post your advice (but be aware that your advice is just your opinion), post any etiquette questions, post about how your BM/MOD/MOG/FH is driving you nuts-that's why I come to this WEDDING website.

Okay, snotty vent/post over. Flame away.

---

Why do you even care? Why cant you let people post what they want to post about? If you arent interested in reading it, then move on to the next post and dont read itl- that's the point of the POST SUBJECT.

Who are you to dictate topics? We are a community of woman and we are just trying to get along and be friendly. If that involves off topic conversation, then why does that upset you so much? I am not offended or trying to be bitchy towards you, but really, whats the big deal?

---

No one is dictating what you can and cannot post...but all the NWR topics on the BHB board is getting out of control...thats 'the point' of a NWR board.
If I feel like reading posts that have nothing to do with weddings than I'll go there...but when I need wedding info I don't want to be combing out the NWR posts from the wedding ones...thats the reason that there are diffferent boards ...a 'NWR' post on another board is fine here and there but to see them one after another...it's too much

something to think about before calling someone out on a valid point...

---

What she said-not trying to dictate, just venting. Actually, I am just begging for more WR topics.

If ya don't like my vent you can skip it!

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

FYI I have had people FM me and thank me for what I posted on here earlier....so that just goes to show you how many people do get annoyed by the constant NWR threads on the wedding boards. So I am not the only one who gets bothered by it. Many others do, they just don't say anything about it because they don't want to cause problems. I for one, can only take so much before I have to say something about it. (and granted, I have been pretty nice and tactful about it thus far, I could be a lot worse!!!)

If you seriously need a distraction from the stresses of the wedding boards, and NWR is not moving fast enough for you, might I suggest checking out the Rants & Raves section on Craigslist.com. I have found that to be pretty damn funny and a great distraction before I found this board!!

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

I kind of agree that NWR posts should go on the NWR board....

Just an '07ers opinion...

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

Holy crap. Why is this friggin post still going??!!!?!?!?!?

We got it people. No More Posts about insignificant crap. So everyone can stop putting in their two cents and let this post die now.

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

wow.... I haven't been posting on here long I just look for the things that would be helpful and see how everyone is doing with their wedding plans and try to get ideas..... It is hard to get to know people on here with the NWR posts yet I can see why people make them. they want to vent on their wedding because they feel everyone on here will understand.

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

To the original poster: Are you in my brain???

I sent out an FM to my 'close friends' on this website just a few days ago with a very similar vent. I haven't been posting as often b/c there has been nothing to respond to b/c of the amount of NWR posts.

I can understand the 2006 board slowing down, or other earlier years (05/04,etc) but the 07 and 08 boards should be booming with questions. I'm tired of seeing pictures of people's pets (no offense to anyone in particular) in get-up's, stories about work, what you should have for dinner, and all that other NWR stuff. Put it on the NWR board - it's there for a reason.

Leave the BHB for asking questions ABOUT WEDDINGS.

I hate to see actual wedding related questions get lost onto page four or five on the BHB b/c the first three or four pages are full of NWR topics! It completely defeats the purpose of coming on here and getting advice as a bride or giving advice as a past bride.

Oh, and for the ladies who do put 'NWR' before their subject title - thank you! I know to just skip over it and move on. So obviously, this post doesn't pertain to you.



ETA: This is definitely not something being felt by a few brides on here...it's felt by many. There's been a huge 'switch' over or 'sharing' going on to the LI Board on knot.com especially for this reason! Brides come on here to get advice and their questions don't get answered b/c there are way too many NWR posts on the BHB. If you go to the LI Board on knot.com - you'll see that 99.9% of the topics are Wedding Related.

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

I hate to bump this thread but I have been seeing it for days and finally clicked on it.

I don't think it is snotty it is so true. I hate when people post just to get their numbers up or make up topics about BS. I do think people take advantage of the NWR thing. Their is a whole board that should be booming.
Sorry my mini vent. I am on here all the time but stopped posting for a while since people just post about BS on here.
We are all a close knit group and cause in point..look at the numbers for our GTG tonight. I think we should all enjoy our wedding planning togbether, help each other out, and we can vent away when we need it.
Happy Posting and Planning!!!

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

I don't believe I've posted alot of NRW topics, but if I have I'm sorry. I was just trying to get to know the women on this board, since everyone seems to know each other already and I'm new.

don't apologize, you cannot please everyone, especially on these boards. You may post whatever you like, wherever you like.....

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

Wow, someone had the guts to post this! Good job! I myself go on this website for wedding related advice. I think that NWR things should go in a NWR Forum instead of the BHB and etc. One more thing that I'd like to vent about. Posts that are directed to two or three people. Why not FM them instead? Maybe it's just me, lol

Although I am pretty much in agreement with the original poster, I'm also going to defend Liza too - I took her 'cartoon' as a way to make light of the situation. I've seen drama on the boards, and I've seen many ladies try to diffuse it by posting funny cartoons - when I saw her do it, I just thought she was following suit in case drama did ensue.

---

I agree that cartoons lighten the mood, but to me it read a little disrespectful of the other persons view...the deadhorse is great b/c it keeps things in perspective, but it doesn't denegrate the thread itself..you know what I mean...

and...I guess I don't really like bathroom humor

I agree, FM the person!

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

SO how about this-
Since the NWR is usually sooo slow (especially since LIF started) lets make a pact to start posting NWR related stuff on the NWR board. \
This way everyone will be happy. Those who don't want the NWR don't have to go to that board, and those who want to post and read the NWR can frequent the board all they want.
Isn't this the solution to this issue? I promise to post NWR issues on the NWR board. Is anyone else with me?

I go on Rants and Raves - OMG - it does make me laugh - esp. 'Best of' - I would post there - but as you can see - I'm just not witty enough, as my humor lies pretty much in silly pictures and gassy humor...

I think we all got it! I certainly did - and check out my avatar! I'm keeping my inner George in check!

Love to all of you! We ARE one big family after all anyway! Bantering, annoyances, quips and all!

Don't you wish our real life families were so easy to talk to and handle?

Re: Snotty vent/Post-do not read if you are easily offended

I agree! One thing we can all do to expedite this would be to post on every NWR topic on the 06 board-- please repost this on the NWR board. It may be construed as snotty at first, but eventually people will get the point!
