Im crashing-not to defend anything really, just to say that I know there have been a couple of times when there has been drama on this board for things I thought were immature, the comments get immature that is just the way it goes.
Yes it does get nasty. The issue isnt that anyone has been duped-its that we have shared our weddings and lives with girls on here thru out the whole time we post-so to know that someone we spent time replying to and trying to help could possibly have been making up stories hurts some of our feelings. Trust me we dont 'gang' up on anyone. ALOT of girls agreed that we all felt the stories were twisted and not following properly.
I stay b/c regardless of how mean people can be if I can help one B2B that is good enough for me. Like I said-Im not defending b/c yes it got out of hand-but you shouldnt throw stones when you live in glass houses-I remember the karen incident and there were girls who were upset thinking she was a fellow 08er. So before you jump on us being immature (which is rightfully so as we are) step back and take a look at your next drama thread and see if you dont think the same thing
i don't know, immature or not i do have to say thank you to LIW for keeping me entertained this week, wow were there 4 fake brides or accusations of fake brides this week, maybe even more than 4. Ive been stuck in my room with nothing to do so it helped pass the time
sorry might be wrong and maybe did get out of hand in the luvabul situation, wont comment on that. It happened, people did apologize, unfortunate situation but happens on LIW
The others though, they came on liw and made 2nd sn's to verbally attack us so i wont feel bad about my comment of this entertaining me
ive been gone all day and like usual missed the drama and im glad this time i did. i caught up on it (i didnt read every single page cuz i have no time and no patience) and can say i am a bit disgusted with this site right now. i think people have been taking it WAAAAAAY too serious.
i guess im just the type to come on here, read posts, maybe post here and there and thats it. i havent gotten too involved with people or too involved with the drama. i dont like it when the ladies team up and gang up on people. this site shouldnt be taken so seriously. what i read today made me look at people so differently. i never thought id say that i may not come back on here after the year is over but thats what im leaning towards.
Awwwwe Jenn, I hope your not upset with me for being the gawker and telling the 08 girls!!! I would be very sad Do you still love me??!!

i totally get what your saying but i only said what i said because ive been one of the brides that has only been involved in drama maybe once. every other time ive either missed it or just ignored it cuz it was dumb. if someone asked me to tell them the whole karen story i wouldnt even be able to cuz i wasnt involved in that either. all i know is she made a few names and even went to a gtg. the other day when we had the regular poster create a fake name to take trash, i posted once and that was to ask who it was after they had figured it out. it doesnt matter if it was on the NW board, the 08 board, the 09 board or etc. i just dont take i-net drama serious.
The only 'drama' thread's I've gotten involved in were those started by obvious fake brides just coming here to start trouble. Any other threads that turn into drama, I just state my honest opinon on the original subject (i.e. taking off one's shoes during the reception) or I don't get involved at all. And the 'Karen' incident was before my time.
That's not to say I don't have strongly held opinions regarding what goes on here (b2b under stress, people getting offended too easily, getting snippy with one another), but I generally stay out of it.
And the whole 'get off our board, you're not a NW' is rather childish as well. So what, you've (not .you specifically)been married 7 mos. and all of a sudden you have this infinite wisdom on married life and the universe in general that is beyond me? Give me a break

Totally understand, I wasnt necessarily pointing fingers at anyone, I was saying in general b/c I know there are people on this thread that have been involved in drama. Its a catch 22, I may see something as immature that someone else wont and vice versa. Im the friggin king of drama so I am guilty of it, I dont take it personally. Ive been involved in drama that I wasnt even technically involved in-so I know how it goes. Im just saying-so many people comment on something when they arent directly involved but dont step back and see their actions are the same when they are. Does that make sense?

Very well said!
I also want to add that many of you have admitted that you only skimmed through the thread and didn't read the whole thing. Granted, it was tedious to read it all, and I definitely cringed at some of the things that were said ... but if you don't know the whole story, then it seems to me that your comments are a little off base.
I think that some girls still don't feel like things add up, and there are still unanswered questions. No one really owes anyone an explanation, but after spending a year or more chatting with people about personal details of your life, many people feel like they form real bonds with girls on here (myself included).
When something doesn't add up, it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It makes you question what you've told this person, and puts you on guard. I think that is what you were seeing from many of the NWs.
I personally didn't really get involved in the thread today because I wasn't online until the end of it ... but also because I didn't really interact much with this particular poster, so I wasn't on edge as much as the other girls.
And as for the grand announcements about how you won't be transitioning over to the NW board after you're married .... why don't you just wait and see how you feel once you're married?
i don't know, immature or not i do have to say thank you to LIW for keeping me entertained this week, wow were there 4 fake brides or accusations of fake brides this week, maybe even more than 4. Ive been stuck in my room with nothing to do so it helped pass the time

The others though, they came on liw and made 2nd sn's to verbally attack us so i wont feel bad about my comment of this entertaining me
the psycho who made the 2nd sn did entertain me cuz when we found out it was a regular poster of course we were like ***? i didnt comment on the thread with all the detective work lol but it did make sense to me why the 08 brides wanted to figure out who it was.
i feel bad for luvabal cuz she shouldnt have to keep proving herself to the board. even after she posted pics that were obviously her, she was given a hard time.
And the whole 'get off our board, you're not a NW' is rather childish as well. So what, you've (not .you specifically)been married 7 mos. and all of a sudden you have this infinite wisdom on married life and the universe in general that is beyond me? Give me a break

No never said that. Lets see if I can explain what that NW board thing is all about. Please dont take it personally b/c its not a personal thing at all. The NW board we dont really talk about our weddings much at all. Some of the girls dont ever check BHB or the 07 or even 08 for that matter b/c they dont want to b/c they are over their wedding. We get upset when B2Bs post wedding related questions on NW b/c we dont want to talk about that. Those who choose to help out do by going to BHB and 07 and even 08 to help out where they can. its hard to understand until you are there-I know I didnt get it but I never posted on NW until after I was married. I posted on the 06 board or BHB and hoped there was someone out there that could help me. Its not a matter of dont come over here we dont want you-its more we dont want to answer wedding related questions b/c most of the girls dotn want to go there anymore. I hope that made sense. Me-like I already said-If I can help, I will! If I cant I move on, I always try to be helpful...even if I get involved in drama.
And as for the grand announcements about how you won't be transitioning over to the NW board after you're married .... why don't you just wait and see how you feel once you're married?
True, as by the time I'm married, most of the girls from here will (presumably) be on NW and I do feel the most connection with them. I just don't appreciate the childish, clique-y attitude that [i]appears[/i] to be there now.

i get what your saying but also unless what youve told this person was in fm's youve basically shared it with dozens of people cuz this is a public site and anyone can access it.
i said i might not come back on the site at all. u know there isnt only drama on the NW board lol theres drama on here too.
i honestly love the NW board I read it all the time and have even been tempted to reply to some threads but i know im not really 'allowed' not that i think you guys are going to bark at me lol i just follow the rules for some reason. i know its your board.
i don't know, immature or not i do have to say thank you to LIW for keeping me entertained this week, wow were there 4 fake brides or accusations of fake brides this week, maybe even more than 4. Ive been stuck in my room with nothing to do so it helped pass the time

i feel bad for luvabal cuz she shouldnt have to keep proving herself to the board. even after she posted pics that were obviously her, she was given a hard time.
See, there was a past with this poster. its a long weird story-lets see if I can explain it.
A new SN came up 'luvabul2' and started ranting and raving all over the boards, being nasty. Her IP address on both SN was blocked, she told us that a coworker of hers had done it. Ok, no big deal right? WELL she called off the wedding a few times...wanted to get divored before the ink was even dry...then the next day would talk about how great married life was...ok i get it-im married I know one day is great one day is crazy. BUT the kicker came this week. She posted about rsvping to a wedding for last saturday yes but she couldnt go b/c her DH got sick...but then posted a few days later that she sent a gift to her friend whose shower she missed on saturday so was it a shower or a wedding. All I said was her pics werent hers...all she had to say was no they arent, I didnt put mine up but wanted people to see where I went and how beautiful it was. Instead she concocted a story about her pics...then coincidentally deleted them. these pics all came from Tourist websites. So yes, was she a real person->of course never doubted that. I doubted that her stories werent and that stinks when you know you have shared your stories and even had heartfelt responses to some of her posts. You feel slighted. I can say that if this was my friend IRL i would hav ehad the same response-bad person or not-I would have.

And I totally understand AND AGREE with the unwritten rule (actually, I think it IS written somewhere) that B2Bs shouldn't be there asking questions - that's what the BHB forum is for. I was referring specifically to this incident. Once all was said and done I was trying to stick up for the poor girl and was basically told to get lost 'grandma' (<-- yes, 'Grandma').
Please don't take this the wrong way or personally, but did an influx of teenagers get married in 2007?

You will have it too(maybe not you specifically but it will) I see it on this board everytime there is drama-the 06ers even warned us it would happen-after your wedding people tend to flock to certain people, its just the nature of the beast

i always wanna post on your board lol sometimes im so tempted to respond to really interesting ones but i hold myself back. i guess i respect the rules. i def. wouldnt post wedding questions on there. i post them here or on BHB (thats the one everyone reads anyway, so its a high change that id get more answers)
