Lol. I sure remember how proud some people were of their nesticles too.
I think I had a little bio but spent most the time lurking on your new home board or whatever it was called. I liked seeing home decor ( all shades of brown) before Instagram was invented.
TK Etiquette board was so circular. Like, we were all just regurgitating advice with absolute authority that we'd just heard from older posters on the board lol
The etiquette board was where I “found” you guys/the forums. I lurked there a ton while planning my wedding but never posted and I remember there was one older lady that used to speak with such authority and I wondered once I got over here if that person was suesue. 😂. Was she there? I just remember she was old and wondering why she still gave a shit about weddings.

Or the ones who got married multiple years earlier and would hang out there acting like experts. Even at the time I was like "wtf wants to hang out on a wedding board years after your wedding is over?". I couldn't wait to be done planning mine, I hated that part (maybe should have been a sign, lol). It seemed like they should have had something else to do by that point?
Of course I never predicted that 14 years later I'd still be posting on a spinoff of that board, so who's the loser now I guess.

I got remarried last February, and I was very sad to see that the Knot was a shell of its former self. I actually wanted to go back to all those boards and get advice. I think they dumped all the message boards entirely. Wedding Wire was awful, so so I never found a good forum to agonize over my invites or menu or tackiness of my destination wedding.

For me it was kind of like, that was the only message board I had ever really used so going in search of another one wasn’t going to happen. I just stayed chatting with people I knew. I can’t remember how I ended up going over to lurk on the Nest ML board, but it was very shortly before the implosion and migration and I guess being in a new place gave me the courage to actually start posting with new people lol
I tried searching for mine but I deleted my profile when TK broke up. A lot of us stayed because it was just a fun place to chat with people you had gotten to “know”. I started 2010 or 2011 maybe and got married in 2012. I still talk to tons of posters.
I don’t mind FFF or AYG being gone - it was fun to read as long as yourself wasn’t brought up but then I always felt bad, unless it was truly something awful. But sometimes people got called out for really dumb things. (AYG was more on Snarky Brides, was that the name?)
But yes, we all thought ourselves experts on everything LOL
Anyone remember Friendster? I found my login info in an email a year or so ago. Fortunately, for me, the site is now defunct so I can't see what I said during the 7 months I was on there. In 2006.
TR , approximately what year did the migration begin?
It was 2012. May, I think.
That was around the time I found a link on the MM board at the old place and came here. But in my early years, I got the vibe that this place had already been in place a few years prior to that. Maybe it's because a lot of people already "knew" each other.
My wedding webpage still exists somewhere in the ether. I found it a few years ago by googling my specific combination of vendors and a few key words.
I was super proud of that webpage since I wanted to be a moderator for the outdoor weddings board. I think I started lurking in 2008 and posting in 2009. It’s been a while.

Anyway, yes that board was a vibe.
Let’s be careful in using the word “old” around here… lol!

When I do the math on how long I've been on TK/TN/TB and now here it's DANGEROUSLY close to half my life. I wish I could quit you (not really).
On a semi related note I texted my ex husband (we have a 14 year old together and are still pretty friendly) to let him know one of our ring bearers got married this week if he wanted to feel old. 🤣 They were 4 when we got married and will be 23 this year. We were 23 when we got married. Hopefully they have a better outcome than we did. 😉
Ah, yes. So prickly when she told me there was no point to my marriage because my husband and I didn't live together. Because he was in the military and I had a job elsewhere. Also, she strongly implied he was probably a fascist.
18 years going strong with my sham marriage to my radical fascist GI Joe.

She subscribed to a very extreme brand of feminism, but also oddly seemed to hate women a lot of the time.
