clicky: seattle tk

[jennlin]

"active" being posting more than once a week...or whatever you would define as active.

spring/summer/fall of 2004 - see how old I am?

when I got married, the nest was brand new, and when I went to log into the knot, it booted me automatically over to the nest which was pretty dead. I remember posting on the knot that I was pregnant already, so I was probably on until maybe early December 2004.

ETA: this is why my screen name is such. It was different on theknot, but at first when the nest was new, they weren't merged all the way and you'd have to sign up with a new account. I was newly pregnant and due 7/25.

Started lurking around summer '08 when we started ring shopping and posting in fall of '08 after we got engaged.

Started posting in June 2008 after we got engaged and stopped posting late 2009 after the wedding.

babya, what was TK like back in 2004??

they still did the boot thing in 2009..nobody really posted on TN then..well, a few..but it definitely wasn't "active".

i signed up and lurked when i was asked to a BM in 2006..forgot all about it and didn't start posting until early 2008, when we started ring-shopping for realsies). we made a mass-transition in summer of 2010 to TN.

I don't really remember. The only thing I do really recall was that I posted about a freak out I had on the board. I was struck with this fear a few months before our wedding that I was going to be a sucky wife. My life was so independent before I was married and I was thinking I was going to have to give tons of stuff up and that I wasn't going to be able to do it. I posted about it. Another girl on the board C&P'd my post on another board ripping me apart basically for being so concerned about being a good wife. She was married a few months before me and was divorced within three years. Karma.

The Seattle nest board was hopping for a while - especially before "the bump" came along. Then, slowly but surely everyone got ku and moved to the bump. After a while on there, babies were coming all the time and Tman was getting old in comparison, so I moved back to the nest with you youngins.

I was lurking in '09 because my BFF was on the board and getting married. Engaged and posting in early '10. Married in early '11.

way, way earlier than 2006

I joined TK in 2006, after we got engaged. I was somewhat active. I went to a few gtg's and met a lot of the other girls that were married in 2007. But, then they all got KTFU, and migrated to TB, and now, I think they're on FB. I didn't post very often, if at all on TB (since I don't have kids) so I didn't migrate with them when they went to Facebook.

lurker here, when jennlin/mac, tygirljojo/eip and the rest were posting

[ashleyp728]

I started lurking TK in 2010. Started posting for real in summer 2011 when we got engaged, and I am still posting over there a tiny bit now but mainly recap and advice. Mostly over here now.

I posted after DH and I were engaged in July of 09. I only posted a couple of times though.

I had asked a question and some people kinda gave me a hard time for it. Whatever.

[jennlin]

babya and black canary.. did you guys both get crap from the seattle board??

i think it's funny...i *should* have gbck'd a LOT. i was consistently attacked on the national boards (for being on the NEY board, having a high budget, "two" weddings, not wanting male-junk at my b-party, the niner board......the list goes on. there has been so many times people called me out because i "couldn't be real"..and thought i was an AE playing with them. does anybody remember jessngiff? she was an AE that attacked me like every single day of her life. i don't know what her deal was. either way..just saying that i stuck it out..and here i am now. i love the boards

The seattle knot board was pretty gracious if I remember correctly. It was a pretty small group in those days still. Several of the girls divorced within a few years. Oh yeah, Jodynjames (or whatever) was planning one of her many weddings in my knot days, too.

I don't think so...I don't quite remember though.

DH's best friend had died of cancer a a few years ago and he would have been DH's BM. We wanted to honor him somehow and decided to have either DH or DH's BM (his brother) add a different color flower in hi boutonniere.

Apparently that was rude to his brother because it was saying that the brother was only a backup BM. I mean technically yes, but the brother understood completely.
