Wow!

[katieandalex]

I just got on UW and it says that they are going to be closed indefinately. They updated the server or something and it screwed some stuff up so they were going to take it down for a few days to fix the problems and now just changed it to "The community will be closed indefinately." Good thing I had my whole journal backed up over here! Looks like this is my new home for good!!!

[AngelinLove]

Well we are happy to have you Katie!!!

[MOB Karen]

Wow is right, Katie!!! I guess everything happens for a reason, and you coming over here looks like it was a big one. Angel is right, we are happy you're here. :)

[LizabethDavis]

I saw that too Katie! I said the same thing ~ good thing my journal is backed up over here! I love it over here anyway!

[WhiskeyGirl]

Wow that's strange!! Well we are definately happy to have you here Katie!! :)

[katieandalex]

I think it would be great if we built this website up a lot bigger...added more forums and that kind of thing. But that all takes time....but its just really weird that UW is down for good....but the only bad thing is...that means that a lot more people will be joining at BBB, which means a lot more people turning into bitches and coming over here to harass us! :(

[MsJessica07]

I saw that too and am sad...my journal wasn't backed up! But, I'm looking forward to starting here...plus, I think some of the UW girls will just join here (at least, all that I can find I'm recommending this place to!)

[Kacie_bride]

Well Katie, we are glad for this to be your permanent home and welcome anyone else to come on over here! (As long as they are nice!)

[Jenn060306]

That's to bad that UW is closing. I feel bad for everyone who's journals are now lost. I'm glad you were able to start one here Katie. And it's great that you are going to be staying here!

[WebLady]

I don't know what UW is (I assume another wedding forum) but glad to have you ladies here :D

[MsJessica07]

UW was a wedding forum very similar to this one, except with more board subjects and more brides, I think. Also a couple other fun extras. One reason I chose to move here when I realized UW wasn't coming back after the "upgrade" was because this forum looked the most similar to that one compared to the rest of the forums out there...similar in both format, as well as in the kinds of people that hang out here :) Glad to be here!

[MOB Karen]

I don't know what UW is (I assume another wedding forum) but glad to have you ladies here :D

Ultimate Weddings, I think.

[WebLady]

Ultimate Weddings, I think.
That was my guess with the initials ;)

[Beckiii]

I wish I'd thought to backup my journal before UW went wacky. Unfortately I didn't so now I'm starting over for the 3rd time. :( Oh well... as I've already said... change isn't bad, just new :)

[Jenna&Jason]

I'm a uw transplant too. I just found this forum.

I didn't have a journal there but it's sad so many girls lost thiers.


btw. What is BBB? I like to keep my options open.

[katieandalex]

BBB stands for Beautiful Brides & Beyond. They are nasty nasty girls over there. Yes there are some nice girls there that don't get into all of the gossip and nasty stuff...but for the most part, the people who join over there end up getting sucked into the gossip and then turn into the rest of them....I started to change over when I as a part of the website, and then I figured out how nasty their ways are and said my piece of mind and got banned for it....boo hoo.

I'm glad to see other UW brides coming over here after the crash. UW has been through some crazy times, what with the server getting hacked back mid-last year and the site rumoring that it wasn't coming back up and then came back up at the start of the year....and now their update failed or what not and its all screwed up again. I never understood why UW did so many updates because everytime they did updates it screwed more stuff up and they just had to take the site down for 2-3 days to try and fix it all again.....

[Jenna&Jason]

Ohhh I remember that site. I think it use to be banned buzz brides? am i correct?

If so. Didn't you get banned from there several times?

Oh well.. I guess it doesn't matter now. I'll go check it out. Not too crazy about the options left out there without UW since I was so use to beeing there all the time, even if I was only just a lurker.

Thanks katie. Hope you enjoy this as your new home. :)

[katieandalex]

The first option Jenna. Yes it used to be Banned Buzz Brides and whatnot. I used to be a Mod over there right right the site started up....I got banned. Then rejoined, got banned, rejoined, got banned and then rejoined, apologized for some of the mean things I did....but then said my piece about something completely different and got banned until, humm I think its like 2077 or something crazy like that....

[Beckiii]

I'm so tired of starting over. I was at Weddingchannel for months and then they did some changes and my computer froze everytime I tried to look at my journal :( Now I start over (with about 15 of my closest WC friends) at UW and suddenly it's gone. And no way to contact many of those same people :( Oh well, hopefully they'll find their way over here and if they don't there are new friends to be made and new people to share ideas with. I just wish we had been given some kind of warning before they went ahead and updated.

[katieandalex]

Yeah, UW kind of sucked like that....thats what happened when the server got hacked. The site went down for a few days, it came back up and was pretty much fine but had a few glitches and then they took it down and posted on the site that it would be down until further notice and that everything on the site was lost....I was pretty much screwed then because I didn' thave anything backed up anywhere else....but that was only shortly after we switched to September so a lot of my ideas were not set in stone yet or anything....but it still really sucked.

[Jenna&Jason]

The same happened to me at WC. I had a journal and it was accidentally deleted by the system, so I left.


I just checked out BBB and it looks really good there. I'm not going to make judgements on the girls till i've given them a chance. I could see how soemone who has been banned 4-5 times would see them as bitches. Maybe i'll have better luck ;)

We just know what we've seen from them coming to this site and harassing us and such. BUt you are always free to make your own judgements!

[MsJessica07]

I really wish they would've told us when they updated. Unlike the hack, they knew they were going to update. Just put like a little announcement up at the top like they did for the gift sale thingy. But what's done is done. And luckily for me, so much has changed since I started my UW journal that it's okay to start over.

Poor Beckiii. I hope this is the last time you have to switch and that people find their way here...:)

[Beckiii]

With 4 1/2 months until the wedding, ALL of my ideas were in that journal. Of course, I know what I'm doing and have pictures saved everywhere on my computer, but it was like a second home, lol.

[Jenna&Jason]

I think they should have at least left an empty forum open for the girls to at least get eachothers contact info.

How selfish. :censored:

[Beckiii]

Or at least explain in a message what happened so we have a clue.

I'll settle in here though and as Jessica already said, it is easy to navigate because it's very much what I'm used to and the people are just as nice :)

[katieandalex]

I think they should have at least left an empty forum open for the girls to at least get eachothers contact info.

How selfish. :censored:

Exactly!!!!!

[MsJessica07]

I think that's the hardest part...there are all these people that I'm like, I won't know what's going on with their wedding...like Amanda&Hugo, who are getting married like...next week! No way is she going to have time to join a new forum, and I've been following her journal for ages...

[Jenna&Jason]

That sucks!

[katieandalex]

Yeah, it really upsets me that there are all of these people who are getting married in September with me and I've been DYING to see their weddings...and now I probably won't be able to! :(

[MsJessica07]

It's totally true...at least I have enough time that I'll be able to build up and get more people that I'm following and stuff...but you're almost there...

sigh...booooo.

[LizabethDavis]

Yeah, I was over at UW as well and there were a few people that were waiting to see my pictures that now will not be able to because I can't get a hold of them to tell them that I am over here....kinda stinks!

[MsJessica07]

Sadness. Hopefully people will find this forum...we'll see, I suppose.

Beckiii, I emailed Beth and rbloom about this, but that's all I know from UW...anyone else know anyone?

[katieandalex]

I don't know anyone's e-mail or anything like that from UW.

[Beckiii]

You're getting married so soon! Where in the UK are you honeymooning??? Sorry, I got sidetracked when i noticed your tickers and suddenly all the problems went out the window, lol.

[Beckiii]

Sadness. Hopefully people will find this forum...we'll see, I suppose.

Beckiii, I emailed Beth and rbloom about this, but that's all I know from UW...anyone else know anyone?

Beth and I talk all the time outside of UW anyway, so I contacted her right away. I also have Rebecca (rbloom) and Jennifer (theAmericanNtheSwede) and Maggie. I have a few actual addresses on people from jewelry I've made them, but that's not many people.

[MsJessica07]

That's still something. Hopefully some of them will be willing to join us here too...maybe, maybe not. Any thoughts on that one?

I figure a couple of girls is better than nothing...just cause I miss all of our old sillyness. Oh well.

[Beckiii]

When we moved from WC after the changes caused so many problems for us, we brought about 15 people to UW. That too effort though and it was a one day mass exodus. We had the ability to tell everyone where we were going and even how to find us. Now we don't have that option.

[MsJessica07]

That's true about not being able to contact people. Boo UW. Have you talked to Jennifer or Maggie at all?

That'd be like...five people...not quite 15...but something...:)

[Beckiii]

Maggie is away doing wedding stuff this weekend so may not even know about the problems yet. Jennifer flipped out and sent Beth and I emails about it last night.

[MsJessica07]

Poor Jennifer...I felt like flipping out last night too. Raif was distressed that we lost important parts of our planning...there was only one thing on there that I didn't have copies of, and hopefully I will be able to recreate that fairly easily.

[LizabethDavis]

We are going to Derbyshire in the UK...I have quite a few girls from UW on my myspace page....I will let them know about over here.

[Beckiii]

Unfortunately none of the ones I know do anything with myspace or any other wedding sites :( Hopefully we'll be able to do some sort of chain and get in touch.

[LizabethDavis]

Well, I just sent a message to all the girls on my myspace account and hopefully they will come on over and even start a chain....

[Rosebud]

I am in UW withdrawal and did a search for 'wedding chat' and stumbled upon this site. Its so nice to see some familiar faces. I really need these chat boards as I am needing some guidance in planning! So glad I found this site!

[Jenna&Jason]

Yikes. :book:

[Beckiii]

I'm glad you found us here too. I saw you around UW, but don't think we'd ever actually "talked". Welcome :) I can't wait to see your plans.

[LoveJ06]

I don't know anyone's e-mail or anything like that from UW.

and people are breathing a sigh of relief all over the world

[MountainBikeGirl]

We just know what we've seen from them coming to this site and harassing us and such. BUt you are always free to make your own judgements!

Puhlease. You've never been harassed. You don't even know what harassed is. But i do have solid proof of onewed members 'attacking' BBB - actually it was a laughable attempt but who cares.

Anyways, for the rest of you, sorry about your journals and such. I think it really sucks. I guess business really is business and it was totally unforeseen. I've had to shut down message boards before so I know how these things go, and if the database becomes kaput, there's no practical way to set anything up to keep in touch. I'm sure everyone will eventually find everyone else!

Oh and Katie: you were banned from BBB because you trolled repeatedly, stole other peoples engagement pics pretending to be someone else, you ripped people off by selling them nonexistent stereos and the law got involved and BBB didnt want to have any part in that, all in addition to your animal abuse posts. But its all good, you just stay here and stop bothering (i.e. trolling) BBB and don't get involved in anymore ebay scams and I'm sure your 'troubles' with BBB be no longer.

Funny how all the things you just said I needed to stop doing I 1) never did or 2) did stop doing and yet, I'm still getting the BBB members spamming my stuff all the time.

Oh, and obviously you don't know the definition of harass....because I believe that we were definitely harassed on this site by BBB members.

ha·rass
tr.v. ha·rassed, ha·rass·ing, ha·rass·es

To irritate or torment persistently.
To wear out; exhaust.
To impede and exhaust (an enemy) by repeated attacks or raids.

[OneFishTwoFish]

Well, I just sent a message to all the girls on my myspace account and hopefully they will come on over and even start a chain....

I got your message girly! Glad atleast to have myspace to keep us together! I'm going to have to poke around on this site later to check it out. But I wanted to sign up first.

Hey Ladies! Glad to see some of you from UW! I've missed you!

[Bumpkin2Be]

I think it would be great if we built this website up a lot bigger...added more forums and that kind of thing.

Wtf?

I don't know what it was that you did to piss everyone off over there, I think it happened before I joined. I've been there a few months now and love it.. why go saying **** about people being bitches? I think there are like 1500 people registered there now, is it really fair to paint with such a broad brush?

[bnd94]

I thought it was extremely rude too!! I think her post about how many times she was banned over there and they took her back should tell everyone what kind of people are over there. They certainly gave her enough chances.

I am just curious Katie......If they are all :censored: over there then why keep going back?

[HelenAngel]

why go saying **** about people being bitches?

I agree. I'm new here but I'm on BBB, too. When I saw that, I was rather offended. I'm not a ***** and none of the ladies I've met on there are bitches either. I don't harass or troll anyone. I would hate to think that someone would happen upon this thread and assume an awful generalization like that. :( That's not very nice.

[Jenna&Jason]

I just joined BBB yesterday and all the girls have been nothing but nice to me.

I even saw celeste there as a member and if a UW CL is a member there then it must be good.

[WebLady]

We just know what we've seen from them coming to this site and harassing us and such. BUt you are always free to make your own judgements!
Yes and I've heard stories of some of their members harassing members of other boards, hijacking threads with vulgarity and spamming :bbconfused:

Who knows who it was or if they are still there, but I am happy here and I don't have any reason to go over there ... or anywhere else for that matter, I have a hard time keeping up with the forums I am on now anyway ;) I like it here because the ppl are nice and we don't get alot of drama, I hope we can keep it that way.

In case I've not said it yet ... Welcome to all our new members and congrats on your upcoming big day!!

[WeddingManager]

I dont think their is anything wrong with the website/forums beautifulbridesandbeyond.com. But I have had to remove more then 5 users and their post because of VERY bad language, impersonating other users on our board and trying to trash their reputation, and I have gotten plenty of complains from our members that they are getting spam from beautifulbridesandbeyond.com to their privet email that they have setup for Onewed.com.

Beyond that I don’t think it’s the over all group or website at beautifulbridesandbeyond.com but a small handful of users that feel they must join this forums or others and try to start trouble. The owner of beautifulbridesandbeyond.com really needs to try and track down the users that are doing this as it’s not only trashing their website name, it making everyone else on other forums start to dislike anyone who comes from beautifulbridesandbeyond.com as it is now getting a reputation from it’s own users for being bad.

Side note: Please stop hotlinking to our forum icons on beautifulbridesandbeyond.com. It burns bandwidth, and can get you a C&D to your host for doing it. > ref: http://www.beautifulbridesandbeyond.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15506&st=120

PS. Check Katie's ip to the user that was doing it. We had the same problem, then after doing some research found out it was a person from NY trying to trash Katie's name.

[MOB Karen]

Thank you, L3vi!! You're the best!!! :D

[WebLady]

Thank you, L3vi!! You're the best!!! :D
Yes, l3vi is awesome :cheers:

[WhiskeyGirl]

Thanks Levi, glad you are here for us. Lately I'm just trying to stay out of it!! :)

[AngelinLove]

Thanks L3vi!!!

I want to take a minute to put in my two cents..and then I'm done. I think that with all of the changes going on around here (ie, new members, new mods, new forums, etc.) we need to realize that there is going to be some upheaval. I do not think that this needs to turn into drama though. For as long as I have been a member of Onewed we have always welcomed everybody. Sometimes people have different opinions and views, but we tend to work through those with minimal drama. I think that it is important that we remember why we are all here..which is to plan our weddings, support people who are planning their weddings, and get advice, ideas, and support from others. All of this drama over BBB, Onewed, UW, WC, whatever is like a bunch of high school garbage. If you wanna be a member of multiple boards, do so, if you wanna just stick with one, do so, but I for one feel that it is unacceptable to bounce back and forth between the boards and talk **** and start drama. I come here because I like the ladies here and I like the support and advice that I get..and I assume that that is why others are here as well. I just feel that all the old issues, problems, or whatever that occured on other forums needs to stay there. We like our peaceful, low-drama environment and really want others here who appreciate that as well.

With that said, I want to say that I am happy that you ladies have found a new home here at onewed and I really do look forward to hearing about/seeing all your plans unfold. Welcoema nd Congratulations.

[MOB Karen]

I have tried to stay out of it this time, because when I got involved last time, I was personally attacked. I agree, Angel, let's please keep Onewed the wonderful place that it has always been. Welcome everyone!!!

[Beckiii]

I would just like to say that so far everyone I've met here has been amazing. You're all welcoming and helpful. This seems be a great place. I'm happy I've found it and hope to be here for a long time to come - well past my wedding day :)

[Kacie_bride]

I agree with what Angel said! Let's all just try our best to get along! Be a member here, there, or both. Let's all just be nice to eachother and respectful! No more drama!

[Kat NDa Sand]

I don't know what drama went on, and I don't really care... I'm here to share ideas, get feedback and support and to give all of the same. :hug:

[bnd94]

but I for one feel that it is unacceptable to bounce back and forth between the boards and talk **** and start drama.

I was going to leave this alone but I have to give MHO. I have been a member here for awhile and on BBB too. So you all know me and I am not trying to cause trouble. We have all been able to talk things thru in the past in a civil manner so Hopefully I don't ruffle any feathers........

I like both boards, that is why I frequent both. I don't like it when someone is on here(or any other forum) putting down the other boards when they were banned for legitimate reasons. I think that is childish.... If you were trolling a board you shouldn't be surprised when you get banned. Don't go around saying this person is a :censored: or all the member on that board are :censored: Just accept that what you did was wrong, you were called on it and leave it at that. When you go around saying stuff like that of course it is going to cause drama which everyone says they don't want, but those are the threads that have the most posts............ So when I see someone on a board dissing someone (or a whole board as was the case earlier) I will tell the person/s that were being talked about as I am sure you would if it was your friend that was being put down. It is the only way they can defend themself. I don't like it when people who have never even been over there talk about it as if it is a bad place.
If I remember correctly I read the post here first about everyone over there being :censored: While over at BBB most of their members had never even heard of Onewed just a few of the members here that had caused trouble over there. I never saw anything on BBB saying things like that about this board or it's members being categorized like that. The members from BBB usually come here to try to defend themselves. I am happy to see some of you have an open mind and have come over to see for yourself what BBB is really like. It is nice to know that some people can still think for themselves.
Ok that is all I have to say. Hopefully I haven't offended anyone and we can put this to rest and go on with our planning.

ETA: Angel I don't want you to think I was trying to single you out. I totally agree with you that it is unacceptable to be bouncing back and forth talking bad about others. People shouldn't be talking like that about other boards/people in the first place and we wouldn't be in this situation. So please don't be mad at me for speaking my mind.

[PurpleFlower]

I would have backed up mine but it went down right when I was going to!! I wish I would have!! you ladies are lucky I lost everything!! I felt so lost till now!!

Becky, it has been documented that ladies from BBB came over here and posted horrible things here at Onewed. I just wanted to know if you knew if anyone from Onewed has gone over to BBB and done anything like that? I would be really interested to know if that has happened.

[Kacie_bride]

Me too. I have went over to BBB to check it out before. I don't think I registered or anything. I just looked around. It seemed fine to me. I made the choice to not join them because I liked the lay out over here better. OneWed, to me, is simplier and easier on the users while being very helpful. And the women over here are soooo awesome! Besides I think I could only keep up with one message board. From the posts I read the ladies over there were nice. The only thing I know is that some of their members did come over here and start stuff that was inapporpriate. However I do not believe they are all :censored: . I am sure the majority of members at BBB are just as respectful, friendly, and helpful as we are over here. There are always bad apples in every bunch.

Becky, it has been documented that ladies from BBB came over here and posted horrible things here at Onewed. I just wanted to know if you knew if anyone from Onewed has gone over to BBB and done anything like that? I would be really interested to know if that has happened.

I see members right on here putting down that site. BBB members don't just come here for fun unless something has been said about them. When did you see a member from BBB come here when nothing has been said at all? I am curious about that. I don't call an email inviting you all to come over causing trouble though. I know it offended some of you but I wouldn't be offended at all. That is actually how I found out about another forum that has shut down now but I really liked it there. If there is documented proof of them coming here for no reason at all I would like to see that. All we have to go on is what we are told on here so you all are not seeing the trouble that has been caused over there because the people who caused it are acting all sweet and innocent over here. I have no problem letting the past go but I hate it when people make up stuff so it makes them look better.

Yes Kacie I can totally understand liking it here. I do too. There are so many members over there it is hard to keep up. There is no way I can for sure! :D

[CindySue]

Becky I understand where you are coming from and for the most part I agree. Im probably gonna ruffle feathers, but from what Ive seen it has been a "newbie" show up in here starting trouble from a website they either didnt like or were run off from. I have never seen one of our Senior members (at the time) just out of the blue start saying ugly stuff like that about another board. If I missed that part, I apologize. But from what Ive seen someone will come in here, start trouble, and then Yes, someone is usually quickly to show up defending themselves.
Like I said.....maybe i missed something and if i did i will apologize, but this is how I have seen it.

[WebLady]

I vote we all just drop it and move on ... agree to disagree if that is what it takes. If we like it here, lets just be here and not bring up other boards.

[MOB Karen]

I second that!!

[Jenna&Jason]

I only found out about BBB yesterday and of course being a lost UW soul, I registered. I don't know about all the drama that happeend before, but on UW there was a LOT of behind the scenes drama as well, the CL's were just quick to delete it.

When I joined BBB the girls were nothing but nice, kind and helpful. I did read the Katie drama over there too and it seems like she was banned a gazillion times so i could totally understand the frustration of having to ban a troublesome member over and over again. I myself have nothing against Katie personally but just saying I understand where they are coming from.


I know at this point UW members will probably be split between here and BBB. It's much more active there so i'm torn. But both places are really great.

One thing I do like about BBB is that there is a no troll policy. I like that being that i'm a pretty private person and wouldn't want anyone stealing pictures or causing problems.

As far as that goes, we don't tolerate such behavior either. I don't know if we have any set 'policy' on it, but I do know that l3vi is quick to delete/ban trouble makers and/or their posts. This is one of the few boards (wedding related or not) that I've been a part of that has decent mods and doesn't have too much drama. That is why I like it here, if things were to change too much I will probably would not come around much anymore.

I like to hear that :D

I guess I was just oblivious to the drama of UW... I never had any problem there, and I don't expect to have any here. I remember Katie from UW... never had/heard of drama... maybe I'm in my own little world! :bblol:

BBB stands for Beautiful Brides & Beyond. They are nasty nasty girls over there. Yes there are some nice girls there that don't get into all of the gossip and nasty stuff...but for the most part, the people who join over there end up getting sucked into the gossip and then turn into the rest of them....I started to change over when I as a part of the website, and then I figured out how nasty their ways are and said my piece of mind and got banned for it....boo hoo.

I'm glad to see other UW brides coming over here after the crash. UW has been through some crazy times, what with the server getting hacked back mid-last year and the site rumoring that it wasn't coming back up and then came back up at the start of the year....and now their update failed or what not and its all screwed up again. I never understood why UW did so many updates because everytime they did updates it screwed more stuff up and they just had to take the site down for 2-3 days to try and fix it all again.....

I followed your planning journal over at UW and I don't usally say anything negative when it comes to some of your posts but I feel the need to this one. I am a member at BBB and I love the girls on the board. They have been there for me though pretty depressing times.

If girls want to go to BBB I think that is their choice. You feel the need to bad mouth the girls over there and not think they would reply to your post? I try to get along with everyone but I be honest with you ... I am beginning to think you like the drama because you was the first one who brought it up. I have seen you post some pretty horrible things about ppl I hold dear to me. Nothing was ever done to make you quit because well UW was the land of lollie pops, clouds, and sunshine and they swallowed everything you said Hook, line and sinker. I wish you would think before you let your fingers just start typing and post what ever the heck you feel like. :(

I guess this makes me a ***** and if it does Oh Well because all the girls on BBB know better.

MusicCityGirl: I remember you from BBB....and you had your part in nasty things said to me as well. I think its funny that the people from BBB will come over here and start freaking out because I said they were bitches, like I have no reason what so ever to call them that. Yes, I've said some nasty things about some of the girls over there....but guess what? Those girls had their share as well. I haven't started any problems with anyone since the new UW came back up....but when I voice my simple opinion of a messageboard, everyone joins and freaks out. Did I join over on BBB when someone from that site was sitting at their computer impersonating me? NO! I knew who it was, and I left it at that....I could have went and started stuff over there, but I was obviously a bit more mature about the situation.

Anyways, the topic of this thread had NOTHING to do with debating about which messageboard is best. Visit and become members at whatever messageboard you please, its a free world....you can do as you want. I, nor no one else, is telling you to not go to your messageboards.....just simply voicing an opinion about what we have experienced...and last I checked, we had a freedom of speech.

All right! I am tired of it. I am tired of signing on to check my happy little message board and everytime I get to this post, I see people pecking each other to death like rabid ducks! STOP IT!!!!!!

I don't care what other boards people are on. As long as they keep the drama of those boards on those boards. Don't bring it over here.

Everyone is allowed an opinion. If you think your opinion is going to fan flames, don't state it! I don't care who started trouble where. The fact of the matter is this. You are all on Onewed now. Over here we don't call people names, put down their ideas, intentionally start bs, or any of the other stuff. I don't like that it is starting now. We are all adults, ignore the :censored: and act like adults.

Consider this a fresh start over here. We all get along just fine. If you want to join the group with the wedding planning, friendly mentality, we welcome you. If you are here to stir trouble, go somewhere else. Trust me, you won't be around long anyway.

As for the name calling and generalizations, welcome to grown up life. It is human nature to catagorize. Unfortunatley some boards get catagorized in a bad light. I'm sorry because I know that not everyone on every board is a bad person. But I am not niave enough to buy into the fact that thtey are all good either. I suggest you all just ignore. Try to get along. Play nice. All that good stuff.

Its time once more I close another thread on the BBB topic. So I don’t want to see this stuff started in another thread. Lets call it a day and all be happy with our views on thing. Dont need to grind it into the wall if you know what I mean!
