Remember on Scary Mommy how there was an area you could only see after a certain number of posts so we had threads of us just saying numbers? No wonder they hated us. They thought they were safe with a 20 post barrier to entry. 20 posts.

I'll never forget when the politics thread was going down and all of a sudden HE comes busting in with all caps, "IT HAS BEEN 3 DAYS!", and telling us we were going to have to deal with an adjustment period.
I believe the site was taken offline maybe an hour later.
Ahhh, the memories. I still can't believe we all managed to be cool during the whole Master chatter.

The Scary Mommy admins asked me to create a team of people from TCF to have meetings with them to sort out how to assimilate into their board.
I spent my damn weekend reaching out to people who had been active and vocal in those chaotic days, cross referencing with post counts on their TCF home boards to try my best to have a broad representation of posted from TCF to come to the table.
And then those ScaryMommy admins pulled the plug.
I should send them an invoice for all my wasted time.

I definitely GBCTCF/Politics over something. And our town's internet was all down that week (someone crashed into a transfer box), so I kept running out to the driveway to get cell service to check back in. What a weird weekend.

I remember someone reached out and before they even responded something like 200 of us had created accounts.

I still can't get over how brux told them to expect 50-100 new posters.

Also, I was doing the counting posts at the same time as GhoatMonket, but only GM was the one who got scolded. 😂 ETA: no idea what happened with that autocorrect

I totally forgot about Scary Mommy. Like there was so much other fuckery going on, that I forgot that WE KILLED TWO MESSAGE BOARDS IN ONE WEEK! You forgot us breaking a board and getting it moved to private only? That was truly one of our best/lowest moments.

SM kept getting mad we were creating new threads and at the same time people from here were creating new threads announcing themselves and posting just #s thinking they needed to get to a new post level to see something better. We really were the worst.

I looked and AmyG and McBenny made their accounts here on 5/19/17. Everyone else started following on the evening of 5/20. We then went through some dark days: two competing boards, certain subboards refusing to migrate and setting up shop in the far nether regions of the internet, certain members refusing to migrate because they believed (falsely) that the original Admin of this site was a shady character. So let's call early June our anniversary, just like the sloppy start of a college relationship when you're fucking lots of dudes and you're not quite sure when you became actually official with your boyfriend. And we wouldn't want to overshadow my birthday.

The internet says paper is the first year anniversary gift. How appropriate for a completely online relationship. Well, happy anniversary!

That was a crazy time. I wasn’t there in real time for when SM shut down. I think I went to do something. Then the next thing I know, the site was down. We have come a long way.

I was busy with C’s birthday party and family crap. I remember going to log onto SM and it was just gone. I think I sent sterling a message trying to figure out what happened and where to go. I was so lost.

Teaching the smommies about the public internet and India is probably one of the best service projects we’ve ever done.
