Weddingbee boards
I’ve been pretty scarce the last few days (well scarce for me) and to be honest it is because I am still creeped out about the “other” board out there mocking us. Anyone else feel like we’re in HP and they are “he who must not be named?"
I’m not trying to feed into any drama or any of that. I just want WeddingBee back.
Me too!! Its sad that it has came to all of this. I just try to stay out of all of it, but I do like reading it just for entertainment :)
I think we've actually gotten it back. It seems like it at least to me, but then I haven't been on it as much either. I had a great job interview this morning. Got invited back for a 2nd interview! Yay!! Welcome back SoontobeMrsA, you've been missed! :)
blast, im not on her often enough so i always miss the drama.
@creativeplannertobee: so glad to hear that! Work today was looong and my eyes are fighting to close but man i need some WB.
i'm in the dark - i've taken a WB breather the past month.
Honestly, I thought I was on this site a lot, but I had never heard of those names before, and never really got involved in the drama threads.... I do think its *weird* that there was another board out there, but at the same time, i kind of think it is sad.... How on earth did they have all that time on their hands?!!!!
I guess I am just relieved to know that this site was so on top of everything...
I feel like I'm posting just as much. I guess I don't really care. If someone who has never met me doesn't like me, well that's too bad for them!
A song I love comes to mind.
I always feel like, somebody's watching me
>.>
<.<
@littlecat: there were at least three bees on there I thought were my “friends” on here. It broke my heart a little bit.
@PitBulLover: it’s not really about that. I think it’s just feeling like I’m being watched.
Mr. Bee said he was going to post again about the whole thing. I'm still waiting but I think he said it was because he wanted to get peoples approval first?
@Miss.Lace: I agree, it's somewhat entertaining!
But honestly I don't even think about "them" lol We are the happy brides and they're the bitter brides.
I agree with pitbulllover I could really give a rats behind if I get talked about or not. It is only the internet.
can anyone give a brief recap bout what's going on?
@angelica3025: Yeah it is, I was wonder who they really talked about on the other site. Makes me sad bc I really liked some of the bees that were named! :(
@SoontobeMrsA: I have missed you! :( lots of people have been scarce lately feels
I kind of alternate between feeling uncomfortable and being like, "Eff them."
@panterapeach: haha awesome song! one of my faves, too!
But seriously guys, I don't think starting a thread like this is in our best interests. It's just inviting people to jump on here and argue about he-said-she-said stuff, and create *gasp* more drama.
Plus, we're posting on a public website. We're all being watched all the time, whether we're aware of it or not.
I feel like a weight has lifted off the site. I actually felt it around 3 pm yesterday. Suddenly, knowing that something I was saying wasn't going to jumped all over made me feel free to post more.
I honestly don't care if Mr. Bee never posts anything more about it. It seems like every time something is posted directly about it then the drama starts. I don't mean this thread...This thread is more about giving a sigh of relief and getting the site back to normal. But if Mr. Bee posts something, I'm just afraid people will start with the 'that's not fair', 'that's a lie', etc. instead of just enjoying the site.
i know what you mean about the being watched thing! i tried to go to the other board just to see what was being said, but as everyone who tried pointed out, you have to actually join - which i am never going to risk doing! i even had a crazy dream that the screen names they were using over there were mocking all our names and there was one that had some weird variation of "purple unicorn"! i think i had that dream after reading one of those threads that were 200+ posts long and mr. bee closed. LOL.
but i am also like Pitbullover and others . this hasn't stopped me from posting just as much as i normally do. i still think there are a lot of genuine bees on here that are worth sharing ideas with. and i am not going to give that up because of a few crazies.
the way i see it, lets say i post something and 50 people comment. there could be 5 - 10 "fake" ones in there, but what are the chances that everyone is mocking me? i would get the general feel of responses and do what i want in the end anyway.
@babybumblebee: Its not like ppl really know who we are...I know if my FI got on here he couldnt point me out bc its not my name of picture. (He has seen my avatar and name but he prolly doesnt remember.)
@SoontobeMrsA: Yeah I liked it more when I was blissfully ignorant of the other site. Sometimes I wish Mr. Bee had never mentioned it, and I had never gotten curious and "peeked" and saw some of the things on the other site. But I figure it's too late at this point, I had over a year of WB activity where people could've made fun of my pictures or posts. I'm not going to change what I do now because of it.
What bugs me is the obvious plants that pop up in threads. Somebody who just joined and have like five posts, and you know it's not a real post. That they just created the fake account to lurk here and that they get a kick out of writing that dumb fake stuff. I think we'll just have to ignore them because I don't know how Mr.Bee can possibly block every IP address a person can use.
The way I see it is: they were mocking members of this board for over a year. People will continue to mock members of this board, just as everything on the internet is open to mocking by someone. If they were mocking me, I didn't know it and it didn't affect me in the least. For all we know, there are hundreds of other boards, blogs, and individuals making fun of every post every day- and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. So why sweat it?
I say we all carry on as normal and disregard the existance of the snark board. If people want to snark, let them- I don't think it needs to affect me, and I don't think it makes them bad people.
Meh, I've been on these boards for over the past 2 years and post pretty consistently - but don't get involved in many of the drama boards, so not many ppl "know" me, so I highly doubt that I am being talked about. And if so, whatev!
This drama hasn't made me think twice about posting anything :)
@meliss: I think the other thing we can do is flag those posts so they can check the IP. We need to self-moderate to some extent and bring it to the mods attention when we think something looks fishy. A simple, "I think this person might be a troll," is all the mods need, and if they aren't there's no harm done. Just a thought...
@Loribeth: I second that! I don't even care any more. I am a bit worried that this will incite more drama, but I don't even feel the need to know any more. I just want it to be over and for things to go back to normal.
Hey if they were talking about us, at least they were talking about interesting people!!!!
I’m just creeped out. It’s all rumors at this point but I heard they were tracking down posters facebook accounts? That’s scary.
I'm not creeped out at all. A few days ago, all I did was read the drama. I called that my "break" from WB so I could stop dreaming about planning my wedding :) Now I'm back to reading posts and posting about wedding/random things. I wish they would stop posting us updates on people who are mocking us. I guess it's nice to know something is getting done about it, but at the same time it has actually created more drama than if nothing was said. Either way I still love WB! I always need a little drama in my life :)
@Loribeth: I agree, that's probably the best course of action. Most of the time though, they probably won't get kicked out until they troll blatantly and give themselves away.
More accurately, the drama feels like a bad breakup, there were a lot of things you liked about the ones that left, and you will always value them for the contributions they made to your life, but at the end of the day, they had a problem that was a deal breaker for you and things ended. It sucks, and it'll probably continue to suck for a few more days, but you'll move on and they'll move on and things will just work themselves out.
