Dear Disbrides,

[PrincessBride010103]

In light of recent activities, one being the fact that I feel personally attacked by a moderator, I have decided I will no longer post on this section of the Dis.
Our mission here is to plan weddings and help others do the same. Not to talk about your morning sickness
If this quote doesn't single me out then I must be crazy. I am hurt but I would not want this moderator to think I'm whiney or that she's babysitting me, so instead I will do as is obviously wanted, and leave. I would never want to upset PrettyinTink by posting pics of my wedding which might have been too long ago for her to care about.

I will continue to update my pregnancy thread on the families board and if anyone would like my email address you can PM me.

Love, Rainbows, & Sunshine,
Amanda

shame to see you go!

I'll try and keep upto date with your pregnancy, your wedding has helped me alot so I thank you

[29apr00]

I'm sorry you're leaving!! It does seem like that was quite a push out the door for you. :faint: Seems so stupid all these new rules!!

I'll still be following along with your Pregnancy Journal!

[DisneyFairy19]

I will still be following your pregnancy journal!!! please stick around to see some of the future weddings:goodvibes

[lpizzuro123]

I have really enjoyed reading your journals and you have given me so much help with planning my own wedding. I brought pictures of your bouquet on my planning session and the florist said she remember you and would make my flowers like yours. So thank you.

We will miss you here but will keep up with you on the other boards. I know alot of brides on this board do not like going over to the others but as I started with the Disboards over 6 years ago for when we went on our Disney Cruise and have used all the other boards for trip planning, resort planning and great meal ideas - I check out all the other boards as well. I have gotten some great tips on the budget board and the weight loss board. I will find you and keep up with your baby progress.

absolutely rediculous! You are able to bring so many tips on the wedding front to so many members who need it. Most people in here dont care if you mention that your feeling abit sick in a post so why should you be attacked for it from just one person (mod or not!)

Just because we are in a weddings section does that mean we are not allowed to make a passing comment about something other than weddings in a thread???!!! If thats the case then i'm sure half the posters here are guilty!

Im sure the feelings of the said moderator (whoever it may be because i'm not on here alot so dont know whats going on) does not reflect the feelings of most of the members on here PrincessBride010103. It will be a terrible shame to lose someone who has been there, seen it, done it and got married.

I wish you would change your mind, as like i say above, you are able to help so many disbrides-to-be. hope the mod is proud that disbrides are losing out because of a worthless moan!

I know I am a major lurker and there's definitely a good chance you have no idea who I am... but I have enjoyed following both ur PJ and ur TR and I can't believe you won't be around when I get married in 2.5 yrs... I'm with my high school sweetheart too and I think we would have gotten along really well... I'll miss ur witty comments and the out-and-out hilarious ones... thanks for all the help you've given to me and other future brides... it has been a pleasure and I'll continue to follow ur pregnancy! cn't wait to finally see lil Eric... good luck!

[Lynn5700]

Amanda..girl...don't let people push you away!!!!!! You are not like that,i know you don't let people do that to you...UMM first of all whp cares what people think about you.

We love you and that's all that matters..you have more friends than haters..and if people have a problem with seeing your wedding pictures pop up every now and then,they are probably jealous because you are a beautiful girl inside and out..your not fake at all like people out there in the world. :) Don't worry about what random people who barely post on here think about you.

That totally sucks!! We love you Amanda and you have contributed so much AFTER your wedding and helped other Disbrides tremendously including myself!!! I don't understand why girls that have already gotten married have to leave. I have learned so much from the past brides. We will miss you over here but I still don't think you should go, if you do I will follow your pregnancy journal! I'm very sad now :(

[JandJ]

I'm so sorry that happened and you feel you have to leave :worried: I'm mostly a lurker now since my wedding was almost 3 years ago. I give input when I feel it's relevant, but I love reading about everyone's day and seeing pictures. I especially enjoyed yours!

Best wishes for your marriage and baby!

[inkedupmomma]

amanda please join my myspace group!!!

I felt pretty hurt by the whiney/babysitting comment as well. Didn't realize we were such a pita!! or that asking for simple requests made us childish. Nor do i understand where she felt we were complaining about the mods?? (although someone may have, which is not nice) i was never complaining, or whining, or being mean, all i asked for was the right to continue posting in this awesome forum..idk:confused3

[hope1826]

Amanda,

I completely understand your decision. And I am really struggling with doing the same. I am torn because I feel I do have an obligation to finish my TR, but at the same time several recent events have left me completely unmotivated to do so. Why should past brides stay to answer questions and help future brides when we aren't really supposed to be here? :confused3

The message is pretty clear.

Anyway, I will keep up with you on the family boards. I can't wait to see baby Eric! And I, for one, LOVED reading about your MORNING SICKNESS and all of your other pregnancy ups and downs!

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[DisneyBrideToni]

deleted...sorry...lol

[BriarRose410]

Amanda! I am a major lurker on this board, although I rarely okay well never post. I find it hard to believe that this is happening to you... so much for pixie dust on this board. Other brides talk about personal events that have happened to them and your pregancy is a personal event. How may brides have written comments about the flu, car accidents, fights with wedding guests? I feel your morning sickness falls into the same category. I also feel that the moderator could have worded the message differently. I'll miss you Amanda but I'll subscribe to your other journal. Your wedding has given me so many ideas for my upcoming wedding.

I'll miss you and your comments,
Amanda

[alissa2008]

Amanda, please! I don't think I've ever read a post on here about your "morning sickness" and I'm sure it was just a reference that was easily available. We all appreciate your input and loved reading your pj and tr. As someone who has already experienced what we are all about to, your input is an asset and my wedding would not be the same with out it.

Please don't stop posting. :worried:

[Maggimus]

Amanda,

I completely understand where you are coming from!! I think the rest of that phrase talking about the color of carpet was directed towards me. I also highly doubt that those who made the personal attacks got repremanded. Ill continue to follow along in your pregnancy journal and I hope to continue to see you around here- regaurdless of what a few might want to see happen.
Maggie :)

[BayouPrincess]

Amanda,
I sent you a PM!

[MariaLovesJon<3]

Amanda! You can't leave!

You've honestly inspired so many brides on this board and have been so sweet, kind, and hilarious! Like BelleBride said, I can't imagine you not being here when it comes time for my wedding (again, probably like 2.5 years from now just like hers)! I feel like I personally know you only from your PJ and TR and it's a shame that, apart from going to the Families board that I have NO business in (hehe), I won't be able to keep up with your happiness in your marriage and new baby.

Good luck with everything and I hope that you do stick around! :hug:

[OceanGdss]

Amanda! Don't go :( It really won't be the same here. Ugh..you know I've considered doing the same thing, lately it feels that certain people aren't welcome here at all, and I haven't even had my wedding yet. Things have gotten so silly with the 'rules' lately. Now this happens...well its their faults. We are losing one of the greatest contributors to this board. As mentioned above, I will miss your humor and crazy-off-the-wall comments. They were very welcome by 99% of the people here. I will def be following along your pregnancy journal. I really hope things change around here soon, so maybe you will post here again. Future brides have no idea what they're missing without your wonderful pregnancy horomones! :rotfl: If things don't change soon though, I'm sure you won't be the last one to leave. I think a lot of us already have one foot out the door...just waiting for one final push. :worried:

We will miss you SO dearly!! And come back ANYTIME!! PLEASE! :hug:

(ok...I'm going to beg one last time...DONT GO!!! STAAAAYYY!! Pretty Please?? :worship: :worship: )

[DecemberBride]

Hey you... I personally would love to hear about your morning sickness it makes me feel better because I don't have it anymore! :lmao:

At the end of the day girl, you know who you are and the people on here who have taken the time to get to know you, love you! You're awesome, beautiful, and a great assett to this board.

I see where you are coming from and all this has gotten a bit out of hand lately... I wish you wouldn't leave, but I know I can count on you anyway to help with any questions I have and I know we'll stay in contact!

Don't let this get to you... because the only people that matter are the people that love you and think you're the coolest! ::yes::

I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hug:

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

:sad1:
This is terrible. *pout* and I am sorry to hear that you feel this way-even though I can understand why. I'll keep up with you on the family board.
:hug:

[disneygal922]

Amanda please don't go. You are a wonderful part of our community and have helped so many of us brides. You will be missed greatly around here. :sad1:

[Mocharilla]

This is all so dumb. It does seem like we're saying "Alright, bye now" to the old brides. But, I'll definitely keep up with you on your pregnancy journal!

I'll miss you!

[alissa2008]

Listen, we don't (nor ever could) live in a bubble or a vacuum. Things that occur in our daily lives that affect our moods are surely going to be mentioned, even in passing in some aspect of posting and there is no thread, board or otherwise completely devoid of human emotion. If I start a post, "I'm in a bad mood, and my mother in law is getting on my nerves..." I'm pretty sure A) this constitutes wedding banter and B) also is completely off topic. :confused3 Regardless of the situation, we all have posted something that has little or nothing to do with wedding planning past, present, or future. I.E., "I like your haircut."

Posts will never be devoid of this, regardless of how many people are infracted, reprimanded, or banned. Granted, a lot of us have gotten to know each other personally, but I suppose the mods are right, this isn't supposed to be a place for socializing, but more for finding more information about a particular topic.

I think I have found a solution:

For anyone feeling alienated our singled out, here is a place where we can go and just talk about whatever the heck we want:

Disbrides (past, present, and future) (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=25850311#post25850311)

[WebmasterKathy]

Enough.

This forum's topic and purpose is to plan and discuss DISNEY WEDDINGS AND HONEYMOONS. It exists to help those interested in planning one of these events gather and share information.

This is a topic-specific forum, and our moderators keep it on track so that it has value to those who come here to seek information on that stated topic.

Those who have already experienced their Disney wedding or honeymoon are very welcome here to share information about those events to help those who are in the planning stages.

What this forum is NOT: an ongoing community chat forum for cliques of those who met here to continue to discuss the minutiae of everyday life years after the wedding. We have other forums here for those general chit-chat threads. Your morning sickness or the color of the carpet in your new home or what you had for dinner every night for the past week may be interesting to you and your friends, but does not help the future Disney bride who comes to this forum looking for information helpful in planning HER big event.

And one thing that we will not tolerate is rudeness or non-cooperation toward our moderators.

Anyone with questions about our policies should address them to the webmasters at admin@wdwinfo.com.

This thread is CLOSED.
