what im saying is sometimes, i dunno whether people are jealous or not but they make me feel like im not welcome...(and my real friends who are on here feel it too sometimes)
and matilde, i do care how my real friends feel too (obviously) but when you want advice from other people and you dont get as many answers as you would hope (sometimes no answers)...but people post things that can be irrelevant and they get ridiculous amount of answers back...it seems like its a popularity contest instead of a board for advice.
im glad that you guys are seeing my point.
But that can also depend (and I think it usually does) on the day and time of post. Example, if you post something on the weekend, it may not get bumped because you have 100 girls posting, who they booked, etc..
If I ever get a bad vibe, I usually take a few days off of this site..and remember, use it to help me plan..not to browse drama when I could be at the gym
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
wow! good point!! i coudn't agree more!

Re: NWR: I have a question...a lil long
To tell ya the truth, I have never gone to a get together, I don't know a single soul on this board outside of this board and that is what I truely love about it. Wether or not I get nominated for BOTW really makes no difference to me. In my eyes, I am a bride of the year. lol. We all have our outside lives and this is a place to get feed back and ask questions and get honest opinions that you may not get else where. I do feel that some girls get more posts than I do, but thats okay, this isn't about who gets the most or who doesn't. We have a common goal, and that is to make our wedding planning process the smoothest and most fun that it can be. We need to stop worrying about everything else.

do you ever get the feeling when you are typing on the boards that people are playing to their favorites by who comments your questions, albums, etc.? Do you ever feel that brides are jealous of you or what you have and in turn make you feel that you are not welcome here?
i dont know. i was talking with my girls last nite (some of who are on this website) and i often feel that there is this bit of jealousy that some brides feel towards other brides.
Definitely diane!! lol ive noticed that a lot and it makes me not want to post a lot (which is kinda why i dont) and its more disheartening when u have a serious WR question that u know others can prob help u out with and dont but will answer a similar question for others.... recently i posted something that wasnt a specific question but i got 1 response and someone else posted the SAME thing a few hours later and people were jumping all on it LOL same thing with albums and stuff like too...its weird when you see people looked at your stuff hundreds of times and had nothing nice to say to you but plenty to say to others.... but like everyone has said, its a lot of girls on here and those things are expected to happen, although it does defeat the purpose of a wedding advice board. anyway! stuff like this doesnt matter....im sure every1 on here will have a beautiful wedding regardless of the 'clique' they are in or arent in

Re: NWR: I have a question...a lil long
I am new on this site and I sometimes feel the same way. It's very hard to join in b/c I see so many of you have been members for a while. I love how you all became friends. I try to get involved and add comments and I don't get any comments back. I then started a new topic to help me get to 100 and nobody helped but a bunch of people viewed it. I started to take it personally but, then I had to keep in mind maybe everyone is busy with something else. I am so outgoing and can talk to anyone or anything. Yet, I am having such a hard time on this site getting involved. I am all of a sudden shy. I have never been shy in my life. It's so funny b/c I am known for being the talkative one. I would love to be more involved. I hope I never offend anybody and if I do please let me know b/c sometimes it is hard to get your point across in an e-mail than in person. Hope to become friends with all of you. -Donna

In the beginning I didn't get a lot of responses either, actually most of my posts got 0 responses. LOL and nothing changed I posted something today and no one responded either. Ok this was supposed to encourage you but there are just some topics people are interested in responding to and some they aren't. If I can help out with advice I always answer, hence my # of posts, I don't discriminate!

Re: NWR: I have a question...a lil long
Thank you for responding back. I feel better now. I am truly addicted to this site now and I keep putting everything off. I have to go get ready for tomorrow and then settle down for the sopranos. Hope to talk to you all soon.

Re: NWR: I have a question...a lil long
I think a lot of it has to do with timing too. I only get to go on LIW a few times a day, if at all....so when i do go on, I'm met with what seems like HUNDREDS of new threads.
So I simply just can't get through all of them...especially with older threads constantly being refreshed with comments. Like the whole thing with Karen...it was such big news, but I didn't get online until later that night, and I had to spend so much time digging through the threads to try to find the original posts.
I don't mean to overlook some threads, but you girls talk too much and I can't keep up!!!
