GBCN/Nest/Knot History Poll (sort of)

[curtains]

Were you on the Knot? - yes
Were you on the Nest? - yes
Were you part of the great migration from the Nest to GBCN? - yes
If you are a single GBCNer, how did you find Married Life? - I am now single.  I was married (Hence starting on the Knot in 2004)
What other "topics" do you regularly post in/lurk on (i.e. Money Matters, etc.)?  CEP and MM
What interests you in an online chatboard/forum (i.e. why do you spend time here)?  It's like a home way from home for me.  A way to feel involved in something outside of work and my dd without actually having to deal with the time or emotional commitment of family.

I was on The Knot.

I was never on The Nest

I was never a part of any migration, technically. I used to post on SB and P&E on TK but got busy with work. Came back to TK recently and no one I know is around anymore and it looks all stupid and shit.

I really like the camaraderie and the GTGs because I travel a lot and it's nice to be able to go to a city and meet people. I don't see anyone I used to talk to on here though and they're probably under different usernames now.

I don't think she's involved in The Knot/Nest/Bump. She's the one that posted the Asians and Nail Salons Thread

/drops post like it was a hot potato

Wow, no second chances, really?  And I think I apologized many times in that post for poor wording.

[kiminky]

I was primarily on The Knot for wedding planning tips, don't think I ever officially joined w/ a sn. I joined the Nest and posted very sporadically. Came here when the Nest basically dissolved. I find the topics on here interesting, feedback/advice is usually good and supportive, etc. I also check out the Book Club Board.

I think I have lurked for so long b/c for some reason I don't think I translate well online. Thanks to the poster who cited the Asian Salon post to remind everyone. I have thoughts/questions/ideas etc. and when I actually type them out and post it never ends up sounding how I thought it would.

And I am sorry for referring to this as a "chatboard". Duly noted.

[Gato]

Were you on the Knot? Nope

Were you on the Nest? Briefly, and I lurked on the Caribbean when I found out The Mulva posted there.  That was a funny place.

Were you part of the great migration from the Nest to GBCN? Yes, that's when I really started reading and posting, rather than just passing through.

What other "topics" do you regularly post in/lurk on (i.e. Money Matters, etc.)?  Nowhere.  I wish I had time to visit CEP more.

What interests you in an online chatboard/forum (i.e. why do you spend time here)?  I don't really know.  Partly, it's because I'm nosy and like reading about other people's lives/issues.  I like that the topics are so wide-ranging.  And I get caught up; like, I really want to know if that woman whose husband left her last week changed her locks.

[Glitter Tits]

Were you on the Knot? No

Of course there are second chances.  There's a saying around here, "The Nest never forgets"

I will forever think of jjwritergirl as the one who asked about fat people having sex and using the word other F word.  Or vigurl as the one who boycott the Census.  Or nuggetbrain who ate the gas station egg.

Oh, I totally get a long memory, no problem.  But to "drop a post like a hot potato" seemed to insinuate something else.

Were you on the Knot? Very rarely, but yes I did start there
Were you on the Nest? Yes
Were you part of the great migration from the Nest to GBCN? I guess. I took a nest break and when I came back the exodus had already happened, so I joined up here
If you are a single GBCNer, how did you find Married Life? n/a
What other "topics" do you regularly post in/lurk on (i.e. Money Matters, etc.)? CEP, MM, S&B, Photog, Geeks
What interests you in an online chatboard/forum (i.e. why do you spend time here)? It's a good way to pass the time at work, it gives me a broad overview of what's going on online and in the world, and it's a great reminder that the growing pains of adulthood that I sometimes over analyze and blow out of proportion are par for the course as I see other people going through the same stuff. Plus the people here are witty, insightful, crass and I love you guys

Were you on the Knot? Not really.  I lurked sometimes,  but found a lot of  the content kind of vapid.

Were you on the Nest? No.

Were you part of the great migration from the Nest to GBCN? Yes and no. I rolled over to gbcn, lurked for like a month and then just got bored. I refound this place and decided that it was more interesting than it had been previously. 

If you are a single GBCNer, how did you find Married Life? N/a.

What other "topics" do you regularly post in/lurk on (i.e. Money Matters, etc.)? Blended Families,  geeks and gaming, cep, mm. MM is very informative.  CEP is where I get my news discussion fix.

What interests you in an online chatboard/forum (i.e. why do you spend time here)? I am antisocial and have no people skills.  I am just more comfortable on boards. Whomp whomp.

Holy fuck, why did the text go huge like that. Oh mobile Web,  you so crazy. 

[TC]

Kiminky, from one long time lurker to another, and I say this nicely, you have got to relax if you want to play.

Seriously. Shake it out.

[melindafelinda]

People can't resist polls. Even shitty ones. So strong work there.

Oh I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to insinuate.  I meant to be clear that I have no intention of answering your poll.
