I didn't think the welcome N14 thread was that awful either. Cheesy, yes, but not board fight worthy. The big issue stemmed from a poster named something like Alexis (I think) who started this crazy fucking post attacking...damn her name is escaping me. I can picture her kiddos. Then one who liked Juicy Couture. She had a boy and later a little girl. It was a straight up nutter post. I can't remember exactly what about. But after that Juicy was invited to GD with open arms and everyone thought Alexis and AmberJaaaade were crazy (and they were). I remember I mostly ignored them but once I couldn't help myself when Alexis started randomly ranting about universal healthcare. I basically said of all the things to bitch about can we let healthcare for all go and LJGS joined in. I remember Alexis coming back under a different username. Also didn’t AmberJade come back here to say hi to us like a year ago?!

There are people who some of you are friends with on FB and i can’t figure out who they were. What their username was. I didn’t start adding people on FB until much later than most so I’m not friends with the old regs.

When I do get a chance to “catch up” lurking on GD and I know I missed something, I always want to come back here and ask what happened with so and so, cuz I’m nosy AF, but I don’t think that would go over well. Lol Me too.

Sunny41 when I see it it’s usually like ‘haha remember that crazy board war! That’s how we got Cher!’ But I only lurk there occasionally (like lahdeedah sometimes the fffc or uo and the topical threads like the shopping ones) so there might be more

I don’t think she’s the one who came back. That was the girl who had her N13 with a married man and then came back to tell us she was doing IUI on her own to try to have a second baby. Has anyone heard from the girl I think it was like Kaymee who I think trtlcrzy you found a page where she had been in a terrible accident?

I enjoyed amberjade but she could really dig in. Kaymee was really nice I remember. The other mean one I was thinking of Side from Alexis was LoveofMikesLife. I don’t remember what she did or said but I felt her and Alexis were horrible. The suicide thing with Beccabooxbear really tainted my opinion on a lot of regs at the time. LOML reached out to me in a pm saying Becca was just trying to rope us into her drama and was basically catfishing us. At that point I didn’t care if she was or wasn’t. She was a person in need or help and you don’t just look away and ignore it.

All of these names are vaguely familiar to me. I lurked a lot them, and didn’t participate much. The Becca situation felt very real to me; i never thought she was just being dramatic.

I forgot about the Becca thing. I remember feeling like she may have had a condition that lends one to have a flair for the dramatic, but also who have a very difficult time dealing with their emotions and legitimate pain. In other words, someone who could use some kindness. I was grossed out too by how a few people treated her. My general approach is even if I think someone may be full of it, I'm just going to ignore it. No one's forcing me to read it and if I'm wrong that would be really shitty of me.

Don't get me wrong, because overall I like GD and many of their posters, but their general attitude that their shit don't stick is eye roll inducing. When you think about the idea of them rolling in to start a board war over a welcome post it makes them look worse than us.
Sometimes they drive me crazy because their penchant for drama rather than to give the benefit of the doubt or try to understand what someone intended is so strong. There are so many times they take a misinterpretation and roll with it hardcore.

I also wonder about the mom whose N13 was baby #7. I wonder if she had more babies.

There's one I think about who was a loss mom. She had a healthy rainbow baby after a very late term loss. But she left soon after the baby was born.

I was around lurking during that time but was still very new to the whole internet board thing and didn’t follow closely in every thread or pay attention to who was who and whatnot. I had no clue that our board was tainted by an incident. Funny because I think we are pretty mild. Every now and then, when I have a few extra minutes, I go into GD to see what I’m missing. Like tonight, that Fffc killed me dead. Ha, exact same. I started lurking when I was essentially on bed rest with B; I don’t recall exactly when I first started posting but it was with right before or right after the babies were born. We’ve lost some good posters but there was some mess, too 😂

I remember really glazing over at all the fishing talk. That's worse than football talk to me.

I don't read these threads on GD. How do they call us out? This just seems weird since we have been pretty active. Is it just the memory of the BLADS? This seems like a really long grudge. Have you met parenting? They bring up stuff from the beginning of time.

Amber jade always came across to me as like a teen mom who had no real friends or something. I don’t think she’s the one who came back. That was the girl who had her N13 with a married man and then came back to tell us she was doing IUI on her own to try to have a second baby. Has anyone heard from the girl I think it was like Kaymee who I think trtlcrzy you found a page where she had been in a terrible accident? I follow her on IG, she seems to be doing well. She’s still blogs at themommadiaries.com
