i feel the same way! Sometimes i felt a little left out or confused about what was being said. It might be cause i'm not always on here all the time and that i haven't been to any GTG's to meet any of you girls. But i love this site and it gives some great ideas . You girls are great too, i just think i get a little shy sometimes.

I met some amazing girls from the GTGs, I mean if it wasnt for Jenn i would never have know about baby guinesses![]()

I think what was trying to be said was that she feels that because some of us are great friends already that those who arent on so much or who are new, arent given the advice/support we all deserve on this site.

This is how I look at it... I see girls on here ask a question, most of them are really great questions that all of us have been meaning to ask, and then she gets a response or two that answers her question... I'm not going to respond to that thread to say exactly what a poster before me said... it's a waste of time and I hate reading threads that have the question answered over and over again, that's just me and it's not personal.
As for support, there are a lot of girls, including myself who come here asking for it and I think that's great. I, personally, try and give a thumbs up or a hug whenever I can, but by the time I get on here in the morning, some of those threads have moved well past the 1st page and if we're being honest, my eyes DON'T move past the 1st page. I'm only on here between the hours of 8:30 and 5:00.
As far as cliques go... they're everywhere, we're adults, they don't bother me. If I'm not getting an answer to a question on the 08 board I will not hesitate to move the question to another board and see what happens there. I also ask a lot of my questions behind the scenes.
I'm sorry that some of the girls on this site feel ostrasized... but like so many posters have said before, we're all here for one common goal and that is our wedding... we're all going to have differeing opinions and we all show our support differently (just because I don't post the little praying icon on your prayer thread doesn't mean I'm not lighting a candle for you when I head to church).
Rock on Brides to be!

Remember Megan, you said you'd only been drunk about 3 times in your life... how many times has it been now that you have Baby Guinesses in your life![]()

I dont mind that people formed friendships...that wasn't my original post. I know it branched off into that but obviously i have about 5 girls on here that im great friends with in 'real' life for at most 20 years.
the problem i have is when i feel like i am gettin ignored on something that some people i know have the answer..and i wonder is it bc they dont like me or if they are jealous or whateva reason it may be.
im not insecure..i have wonderful ideas for my wedding and i love my friends and some of you who i am cool with. but when i know like 100 people have viewed something and i dont get one answer..its like what did i do?
does that make sense?

I feel this sometimes, but to me it's not that big of a deal. I feel like a freshman at times, but I don't let it get to me.

Ok, I have to chime in. I'm sorry.
But I don't really understand the whole clique thing. I've been on here for almost a year...and I've met some people who I really consider close friends now because they too have been on here for a year. So, why is it so terrible if I talk to them frequently? Whether its through a thread or through FM? Yes, the board is all about planning weddings, but its also about meeting new people and making friendships.
Just because people talk to each other more frequently than others doesn't mean that they don't LIKE other people or don't TALK to other people! It just means that they have more in common with someone else. In the real world not everyone is best-friends-forever. With all of the different personalities on here there are bound to be clashes and also good friendships that are formed. I look at the 2007 boards and it makes me THRILLED to see so many LIW brides that are inviting other LIW brides to their weddings. It goes to show that friendships can be made on here - which should be celebrated!!! Who couldn't use some more friends?!
I'm sorry, but I personally (and I have no idea if any of this was even directed at me), am not going to apologize for 'clicking' with some people. I'm very thankful that this site was able to make those friendships.
Honestly, I don't know why some people are insecure over a message board. We all have our 'real life friends' so why are people getting upset on here?! Getting mad at people because they aren't 'talking' or 'responding' to you shouldn't be taken personally. People are busy and cant respond to every thread on here. I applaud you girls that do respond to everyone - you rock! But I know that I don't do that....so does that mean that I'm not welcome on here!? Because I don't answer every thread I see???

I'm going to own up..... I'm lazyA lot of times I'll check posts but not respond, either because I don't have the answer, because someone already answered it, because I'm checking the progress of the post, or because (and shame on me) I'm just too lazy to type out an answer.... I'm a horrible bride to be!
