So, how long were you a member of the old boards that shall not be named?
I started lurking in Sept '05 with my original SN (future Mrs B something something)
I cannot believe I stuck around on there through 7 years of crappy service, no working search function, and boards that made my head essplode on the regular. I hated TK after it went to the boards with the GIANT ad/video that would re-run every time you opened a page.
I think I joined in May or June of 2007. I think I posted every working day for eight hours for about two years. It's too bad the next screwed up our post counts on the revamp they did a few years ago.
TK in fall of 2005, TN after I got married in 2006, that was about the same time I started hanging out on MM. So I have been hanging with you bitches for over 5 years now!!!
I discovered the TK message boards in Winter 2007 and then started lurking on TN shortly after. I started posting on TN more regularly after I got married in May 2008.
I started TTC in 2007 and had already been on the boards for a while. Hard to remember exactly when, but I posted a lot more after I was pregnant and probably hit an all-time high while nursing my newborn DD.
This is so embarrassing. I lurked hardcore on the TK from like 2008 until 2009. My best friend and college roommate was planning her wedding, and even though I hadn't had a relationship last more than 8 or 9 months, the wedding bug bit me hard. I was soooo jealous she was getting married at 21.
I lurked the TN on and off after that. Moreso now that I'm in the working world, especially MM. The difference is now that we're here I actually post instead of luking creepily long term.
I started on TK with my first marriage in 2001 and have been on and off since. I was a regular for almost 4 years on TK, and they actually had a board called "The Bitching Post." When they disbanded that, we migrated to private boards, and now 10 years later many of us are still friends and talk on that board regularly. I can back to TK and TN while planning my second wedding in 2008.
I think this is the 3rd uprising now that I have been through.

I started lurking on TK before I was engaged - back in 07. When I realized I wasn't getting engaged any time soon, I switched the TN in 08. I didn't go back when I got engaged, just kept posting on MM.

TK - I posted a bit before my wedding, so early 2008 TN- More of an occassional lurker, not consistent over the years. Started to lurk a bit more/post a little at the end of 2011.
I joined TK in 2004 but never posted on the boards. I started posting on TB in the fall of 2008 right before I got pregnant with my first, then left for Mean Mommies when it started up. I still post there regularly.

since i got engaged in 2005 ... i used my local board to find all the good inexpensive vendors since i was on a TIGHT wedding budget and it spared me doing a TON of legwork trying to find them.
I was originally jan31br1de ("i instead of 1, I don't want the name showing up on google searches!) then switched to hts99 after being stalked by my sil. now lolc.
