I found The Knot back in early 2003 when I got engaged through a Google search. Back then, my local board was hopping. Then TN materialised shortly after my July 2004 wedding. It was marvellous dahling way back in the day.

I was KTFU and found TB while googling baby/pregnancy stuff. I mostly lurked and was entertained by the crazy for my whole pregnancy and eventually found my way over to TN. I wasn't much of an active poster until GBCN though.
in 2007 found the know while planning my wedding, I was on the wedding channel forums and they were complaining about the bitches on the knot so I had to check it out for myself and stayed. After I got married the knot kicked me over to the nest
I joined The Knot when I got engaged in 2003. Became a Wedding Woes reg until about 3 years ago, my company blocked The Knot, but not The Nest. So then I moved my reg-ship to TIP

Moved to TN for a short time after I got married. Got pregnant, went on TB for an even shorter time (realizing it was way too nutty), and went back to TN with a new SN since I'd long forgotten my original one when I was on mat leave in 2010.
Went to the knot in 2007 for wedding planning. Started checking out TN after we got married. I went to ML first, lurked a ton, then slowly started posting

I found the TK when my bff was engaged in 2003 and we were looking for bridesmaid dress ideas. I think she even had me make her a wedding website for her and her fiance. Then that wedding was canceled and I forgot about TK until I got engaged in early 2005-that was when I actually used the wedding checklist (LOL) and I started reading the boards. I never posted until I was booted to the Nest after my wedding (late 2006)...sometime around early 2007 I found ML and have been on and off since.

I was on the knot, although not on the message boards, before my wedding and I think one day I got an email about the nest. Started out on the Pets board and then have been lurking on ML on and off for years. Oh, and I'm divorced now.
i used to post on a different wedding board when we first got engaged. one day they were posting about how nasty the women on TK were, so i went. i realized i liked the people on TK better.
then i started lurking TN, mostly ML, and realized i liked YOU guys much, much better. finally delurked a few days before GBCN started and then figured, WTF, might as well start off fresh when everyone else did.
I did a search for wedding flowers back in 2006 and found TK. I thought it was pretty lame at the time but did make a profile. Came back when DD1 was born and witnessed lots of Bump craziness. And then I saw this place go up but I was about to have DD2, so this week is the first I've really checked it out.

I found TK when I got engaged in 2007. I was a regular on P&E there for a couple years. Didn't get on the boards at all for a couple years, then starting lurking again and somehow figured out that all the old NEY/AFB ladies were on RE on TN. I never posted, but lurked a lot on RE & ML, then followed everyone over in the great migration.
I found the TK in 06 when I was searching wedding dresses. I lurked there mostly until my wedding in 08 and then lurked on TN and TB after I was pregnant. I followed everyone here in May (love how fast this site is). I've been trying to post more and come out of lurkerdom but I have a crazy schedule.

I was googling for wedding shit. I was on the site a lot for a couple months and used some of the tools/checklists/etc. I remember thinking the knot boards were full of lunatics and deciding to stay the hell away from them. I peeked over on ML and saw some threads about...I think somebody was defrauding FEMA? I don't remember the details but there was a lot of boring stuff and then that. Most of the posts made no sense to me, and I was in college and didn't want to put forth the time or effort to get to the bottom of the FEMA thing or anything else. I think I posted under whatever the hell name I had then for about 2 weeks and forgot all about TK/TN/TB until I got pregnant.
I found TK back in 2005 when I thought I was going to marry my then boyfriend. I didn't find the message boards though until I was engaged in June 2008

Found TK towards the end of 2005 after getting engaged. I was really active on my wedding month board, but we eventually decided we weren't happy with something tk/tb had done and moved over to FB. I eventually decided to give TN boards a chance, but during some change in 2008 they took all my posts and I had about zero interest in waltzing in with one post again. I basically popped in and out and would randomly comment here and there, but my distaste for the rulers of the roost kept me from being really active

I found the H&F board on TN before I was even engaged (and started lurking on TK, beebee alert, lol). I stuck around for awhile, then joined TK, then came pretty quickly back to TN.
