I just intro over there on the wrong day and got ran over by a train from them calling fake. I was just hoping to talk to people about moving and such. I also lurked over here before making an account a hour ago to see if there were any money saving tips. Ive read just about every post on the nest money matters
Hi, we can still see your posts from over there. You really just had bad timing and we're laughing more at the irony of your post vs. you actually posting. Try again later, but fair warning, we're going to be super skeptical of newbies for awhile.
I am trying to imagine how a MMM-style catfish scheme would go down. It would be some type of elaborate sob story in order to get 100,000 oz of free donated breast milk, a limited edition Tula and 200 cloth diapers. BORRRING.
hey, that's my life! You don't know my story!
I can give you an expired can of soy formula and some size 3 huggies. You're welcome!

I'm sorry, but I am dying laughing at your intro post. DYING. lolololollll
I am real as well, just not on as much right now. I have not posted as much about updates on our girls as it is totally unbelievable. Hopefully the judge believed it yesterday for DD2 and the next hearing will be good news!
SO got a troll a year or two ago named GothChick. Premise: mentally ill transgender (into transsexual) 20-something. Received a lot of support at first until the story veered into unbelievable territory. Lots of GBCGBCNing and really creepy SWF behavior towards a few regs. Ellie was brought in and discovered the floating IP address which also happened to match soozy's (and some other one-off trolls that never caught on).
Afterwards, infrequent attempts were made to try and figure out WTF was going on. A young soozy was found on TB/FB/Pinterest that seemed to check out. But then the email address attached to a young soozy profile started leading to multiple aliases, usually centering on an older woman between 45-55 living in either Michigan or Nashville. Some of these aliases are friends with each other on FB.
So...even if the alias thing ends up being some weird coincedence it still brings us back to soozy definitely being GothChick (amongst others). ETA: But I highly doubt it's a coincedence.
Good lord. Soozy has posted questions about baby-rearing on this board before - who the fuck would make that shit up? LAME.
Remind me to get some real hobbies when I'm middle-aged.
Those were real questions. Having to do with my real baby.
I was hoping to catch up on the thread, but whenever I finish reading one page, it gets 2 more pages. And now I have to leave to go pick up DD. I gave up.

I was willing to throw you a bone but apparently there's some information upthread about you sharing an IP address with a crazy poster on SO. Can you refute that?

We will also consider accepting a picture of you with a sign pointing towards your baby that says, "THIS IS MY PIZZA BABY" with today's date.
I don't do pictures on here. But otherwise...I totally would.
I keep halfheartedly attempting to catch up, but it just keeps growing. Also, I don't know the back story on some of the people they're discussing and why I should be outraged, so I don't get that same thrill they get with each new revelation. Oh well.
I'm upset that JLM/L&L is named Jamie. I feel like I'll never get accepted over there if I start posting more.
Good thing I don't live in Chicago!
I feel bad for ssmjlm. I know when the JLM "controversy" first erupted and I only heard snippets, I was so confused as to how she (ssmjlm) ended up wrapped up in such a mess. ssmjlm, have you experienced any confusion/distrust from others on GBCN because of JLM's reputation?

I think ssmjlm said something about it in the first few pages.

I can confirm that when all of this went down on SO ThatGothChick and Soozy had the same IP.
The rest of this came from somewhere else, though. I don't have access to email addresses & when this happened I couldn't see IPs.

Also, I will say that it is perhaps somehow possible that soozy wasn't tgc. When this came out she denied it, and she continues to deny it today. Who knows. But:
1) We occasionally have some weirdness where cell phones reuse the same IPs, so maybe it was just a fluke; or 2) thatgothchick created and deleted their profile so many times that it's possible that soozy scooped up the thatgothchick screenname at some point
That said, I just checked and there are like 11 profiles associated with the same IP and soozy is the only one that is 'real' - the rest only have a handful of posts and are obviously fake/trolls. So it seems like a crazy coincidence if it's just a cell phone IP fluke.
I am starting to get paranoid though. I never really check IPs unless there is a problem but I'm starting to feel like I should double check everyone now. Maybe you're all fake! This is not a safe place!!
@roseyposey and catbus, I haven't thankfully. I think my extensive umm post count and the fact that a lot of people can vouch for me means most people just think it's coincidence.
Someone even mentioned in that thread that since a lot of people have similar initials there is bound to be overlap.

This is what happened. I was annoyed at all of the creating and deleting so I took the name thinking that maybe that person would go away. I have the name still but have never posted under it or logged back into it since it was created. Search the name, it has 0 posts but has not been deleted or logged into in a long time.
I have one other AE. I have no idea what the 11 other profiles are.
