Who was the original admin again? Second - who is in charge of marketing this site? You are our newly designated Chief Marketing Officer.And McBenny was the one who built this site, with a lot of help from AmyG. I have purchased a HIH banner ad for GBCN.

I had my daughter at 5/22/17, so this all gave me lots to read. I sometimes think of the strict plane gif and giggle. If VH1 ever does a top 100 message board moments of all time this will for sure be at the top of the list. I remember belly laughing out loud as soon as I saw it. Then by the time I regained my composure it was all gone.

Things I remember: I was so annoyed by like 89% of everybody for what felt like unnecessary upheaval. Scary Mommy - oof, annoyance level went up to 99% Strict plane GIF goes down as all time best gif usage. So well done, pobreScary Mommy shutting down - half ashamed/half proud of this. They seemed like jerks, but we did invade their corner of the internet. HilarityEnsued was drunk (and I believe this is a rare occasion) sterling was total reluctant MVP with the herding of cats on the Politics Board. While out of town or out to dinner I believe. Stay gold, sterling. AmyG and McBenny built a perfect landing spot - so thank you While I still maintain that the TCF exodus was a bit too histrionic and dramatic for my taste, I am happy to follow you weirdos all over the internet. I remain sad that the AL community has dwindled even further with each subsequent move from TB.

The mod posted that eye thing and I didn't understand what was going on. It seemed like an odd time for her to declare her Harry Potter love, but who am I to question her.
I was wrong about a lot of things in that moment.

Remember SM asked if the BMBs could talk to each other via PM?
Lol forever.

Invading SM was the best/worst part of the migration, though.

OMG the frantic number posting on SM. Responded to by the frantic Mods. Kills me dead every.time.
Also, when people here say SM for social media I NEVER not think of Scary Mommy.

I was in class during the SM meltdown and was trying my best to keep up.
I remember sending a PM to brux and few others that everything would settle down soon and it wouldn’t be a problem. And then like an hour later the site was down. 🤣

Remember when they made a thread to welcome us but it was not at all welcoming? Next time we argue over the definition of passive aggressive that should be the example given.

I was in Bermuda at the time. Laying on the beach. Glued to my phone.
You guys are the worst but I can’t quit you.

Don’t start new threads.
Stay on the topic of the thread.
Don’t start a new thread.
Only one topic per thread.
This is the politics thread not the Trump thread.

If SM taught me anything it’s that there are some corners of the internet that we don’t really want to rattle. I still wish there was a way to get new posters, but, you know, like the right kind. lol.

Maybe we can force them all to take a survey like Parenting of old.

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. Thank you for remembering the times...the lies, betrayal, backstabbing, and two facedness that was May 2017.

But, like, this place was mostly okay from June 2017 onward, right? And on another note, I miss your face around these parts, McB.

Didn’t DCLondon get a warning at Scary Mommy? I remember thinking if she was getting a warning, most of us didn’t stand a chance.

I am still wondering what happened that made the domestic so angry on D day.

Was it SM where they used their children’s ages beside DD/DS? One of them said “my DD14” and a lot of us were like “whoa”.
