Weddingbee boards

I've noticed lately that there seems to be an increasing amount of bees who feel like they are being ignored by the community. This makes me sad since we have such a large wonderful group of ladies (and a few men) on the boards. 

I'm sure there are other bees who already do this, but I would like to make a suggestion. It would be nice to see bees trying to focus on threads that have fewer than 10 comments when they see them and just try to give as much honest constructive input as possible. I think I am going to set a goal for myself and try to help at least three bees a night who seem to be passed up on the boards. I don't want to see the bees that I've come to know vanish from the boards.

@LMD84: Aww thank you. I think I'm going to blame my cuteness on my avatar though. Who can get agitated with somebody represented by a doe eyed squirrel?

@LittleDee27: Yeah I understand about the threads getting long... There are some threads where I really want to join into the discussion, but so many posts pop up too fast to keep up. It's nice to float around to other threads and feel helpful when that happens isn't it?

@FloretteLiz: Oh... my god. This is the first time I've ever looked at your avatar. Have I mentioned that I LOVE squirrels? I even made a cute cross stitch for FI of two squirrels holding a heart-shaped acorn. Your avatar is RIDICULOUSLY adorable.

/threadjack ;)

your icon melted my heart and now im gonna go climb a tree and send you some nuts to make your squirrel be less puppy eyes lol

Oh gee I didn't realize my avatar would be so distracting lol. That's the fastest I think I've seen a thread go off topic.

@Leahhh: That sounds like an awesomely cute cross stitch!

@cr6zy: I can't seem to decide if I think the squirrel is trying to plead for more nuts or if it wants to desperately share the one it's holding.

@yrret107: Thanks! That is going to be really helpful. 

I think its a great idea. I'm on here often but i don't have any sort of "click". I comment on anyones post. But I do find it sometimes very discouraging when I post and there are no responses just because I haven't formed a group of friends on here. Its hard to form that when no one give you responses to your posts and it definitely makes you feel unwelcome. 

Yeah I know there are some posts that are way too specific for most bees to answer. I started this mainly in response to seeing some more emotional threads getting passed up. Sometimes I think people just want to avoid the drama when somebody just really wants somebody to listen to them.

Looking at the thread that was posted above there are a lot of non-specific threads that get passed up too. I think I commented on about 6 of them last night.

I hesitate to reply when the poster is asking for info that has been covered in numerous (recent) threads.  For example, asking to see a certain style of ring, when there are 3 other threads about that same style going at once.  

@MissNoodles: Yeah those ones can be a little frustrating. I usually try to find the recent thread and link it in case the OP missed it.

@cherrydoll: Aww don't worry about being a thread killer! I used to feel like that (and still do sometimes). When I first started posting I think I had a series of 10 posts in a row where the commenting ended with me. Haha I felt like a serial threadkiller. The more you get out there and comment the more we'll get to know you. 

@joy2011: I don't think it's snarky if you put a friendly personal comment with it. Posting just a thread with a "Here you go" would be pretty rude in my book.
