Weddingbee boards
My faovrite threads are ones with polls but I'll confess sometimes if the post is too long, I'll vote based on the pictures or question alone and not read the entire post.
What is your HIVE confession?
Oh come on I can't be the only one who sometimes lacks in HIVE manners. Come on ladies, let it out :)
I am obsessed with the "Dress" board!!
But same thing- long posts I usually scroll past and look straight for the pics! :)
I'm guilty of reading posts but not replying to them, most of the time I'm either just disgusted with the attitude of the poster or I think that they are just being rediculous, so like my Mama always said "can't say anything nice? Don't say anything at all."
@mkathleenwhite: I have the exact same confession. I usually will start typing out a response to the poster, then start to re-read it and delete it completely and click out of the post. It's basically me telling myself not to stir the pot!
@mkathleenwhite: I don't respond a lot either. Sometimes you can tell why the person has drama in their lives just by the attitude they have in their posts.
I'll admit that it really does hurt my feeling when I make a point and then someone says the same thing and everyone is look "good point" to the other person or when people respond to every other posts but mine. It brings back cliquey high school feelings and I feel lame that an internet forum would make me feel like that.
@2PeasinaPod: @mkathleenwhite: That's a great attitude, though. I try to click away from a thread if I know it's a topic that gets me especially emotional or wound up. ;)
@knvprincess143: To answer your original question, I'm much more likely to give a lot of feedback on, for example, a dress post if the photos in question are actually in the post, and not just links to the dress on a different website. I guess I'm lazy. :)
@MrsMeNow: Oh no! Please don't let it make you feel bad! I know it can definitely be hard to reply to everyone on every thread. I try really hard to reply to people when I start a thread, but sometimes it can get overwhelming. We definitely value your opinion! :)
I confess that I roll my eyes everytime I see a post asking if it's ok to fire a bridesmaid. I think during wedding planning some people completely forget that they are supposed to be someone's friend and they have their "bride" crown on a little too tight.
@MrsMeNow: Haha it drives me crazy when I post and then someone else posts the exact same thing that I did. It makes me feel invisible and annoyed that they didn't read the other posts before responding!
@2PeasinaPod: I do this too. Sometimes I want to speak my mind but drama is just exhausting and not worth it!
@MrsMeNow: I know how you feel sometimes, I've learned to not let it get to me, everyone always has a great opinion to give so I don't mind getting lost in the thread sometimes.
If there's links to photos with a poll I don't vote or click the links. Too much work 
@knvprincess143: I do the EXACT. SAME. THING. Haha.
I'm also guilty of not reading through other bees' responses before I post my 2 cents, and then I end up repeating what has already been said.
I don't read long post.
I don't like ring threads I am not a jewelry kind of girl.
I don't read all responses before posting my opinon.
I love DIY'S
I always try and comment on a few posts with 0 comments.
@jessiesdream: "I always try and comment on a few posts with 0 comments." That's so nice of you! I try to do that too.
@2PeasinaPod: Same way. I always want to speak my mind because I am entitled to an opinion. Unfortunately, people don't always like the fact you have an opinion. I also know there's some that are flag happy. It's honestly not worth my time though I really do bite my tongue.
@jessiesdream: I try to comment on posts with little to no comments as well. It always bugs me when no one reads/comments on mine (especially when it's an exciting post) so I feel bad.
I confess that sometimes I look at the dress threads and think "NO!! You look awful in that dress" and I feel bad.
I confess that there are a few posters that I'm pretty sure aren't actually going to get married. They just like posting endless pics of themselves in dresses.
@michiganbride2012 I hope I am not one of those brides lol
@mkathleenwhite: I am the same way. I sometimes type out something then just delete it so I wont be considered as being snarky lol I am totally in love with recap and dress board.
@GroovyHippieChick: I can't say that I ever thought that, but now I'm going to be more observant.
I hate commenting on a thread with more than one page of comments, because I'm too lazy to read all of them. The expection is ring/dress threads because I can easily look at 3 pages of those :)
Now reading all the other confessions I realize I'm guilty of most of them, not reading 2-3 pages of posts and not clicking on photo links.
I try to only read or comment on "Emotional"/"Drama" threads that I feel I have a similar situation that I can relate to. I avoid all of the others...
It makes me angry when I feel like women let their men control finances or decisions and I have to click out of the bee....it gets me THAT irked.
When I see two bees going back and forth arguing, I try to jump in to calm it down and pray to God I'm not making it worse.
I hate when, as a PP said, it seems like a girl has a bride crown on too tight and complains about family or friends not helping to pay for or be there for her special day, but in a way that seems like it requires more commitment than a part time job. I don't have anything nice to say, so if there is a poll I will vote, but then I will click out.
Speaking of which, I love to vote in polls and then not comment.
I love to comment on threads with no replies, or bring back threads that seem like they are decades old.
If a post has like 5 pages of comments, there's a point where I just start skimming for something interesting.
The only reason I read the Dress boards is so I know I love my dress. But I will always comment when a bride looks lovely!
I never ever read the Waiting threads...secretly (not so secret anymore!) I wonder how many girls will end up engaged to the man they are with.
I will not comment on the diamond vs. moissanite or similar....too heated for my blood, and again, if you can't say anything nice....
Secretly, I've always wanted to ask all the women with gemstone rings how their friends or family reacted to them not having a diamond and if they were taken less seriously....but I'm afraid of virtual beheading even though it is actually just my curiosity on society and their expectations.
And lastly, I wonder if I will still visit the bee after the wedding...and I always wonder what brings married bees back. I love the boards and the bees....so I'll probably be back and try to stay away from the wedding threads and go on to the TTC and more nesting-ish boards.
I get really, really annoyed at the "I hate my MIL" threads because I don't have one. She died suddenly 6 months before our wedding. :( I would love to have a MIL.
I confess that whenever I see a particularly stupid/ridiculous/etc post, I copy and paste it to my man on AIM, and we make fun of it lol. I also show him really awesome/intelligent/sassy posts as well, so I guess it evens out?
I don't read posts that have more than a couple pages of comments unless the topic seems reallly interesting. I figure if that many people have already repllied, I probably don't have anything new or interesting to say, haha.
I prefer posts with pictures! A lot of times I will move to something else if I dont see pictures or if I think the post is too long.
I get a *tiny* bit jealous of the bees everyone knows, and try to comment on threads where not many people have commented yet so people will get to know me too. *sigh* I was actually stalking this thread since this morning so I could be second to comment, then I got distracted. Sad, I know. :-[
I am bad about voting in polls and not responding in the comment section
I also find myself getting worked up over the most asinine (sp?) things like buffet vs sit down, seating chart vs none, kids at recept vs no kids and I have to remind myself that no one is telling me I HAVE to do any of it! So , I typically delete those responses as a PP has stated instead of getting myself in trouble :)
ETA:
I especially ENJOY recaps and dress threads, though!!! I almost always look at them, not always comment... will get better about that!
I also secretly skip over all of the ring stuff because I was never one of those girls that dreamed of what her e-ring needed to look like
Oh, I have another one to add that PPs have brought up. I stay away from the waiting threads. I respect everyone on there, but there are some people who could drive you absolutely bonkers with their posts. I sincerely wish everyone the best though.
