You know, I just love 2peas for all of the inspiration in their gallery. BUT, it seems like most posts on the message boards turn into a bitch fest. I just can't believe it. It makes me not even want to post anymore!!! I don't post a lot on there, but when I do it seems like just because I'm not "known" on the boards that I get attacked. Same goes for everyone else. It's always about "breaking the message board rules." geez!!! I see crap on there all the time that shouldn't be going on and I don't get my panties in a bunch....
Anyone else feel the same?

I agree with you. It's really a mean girls' clique over there.

I dunno. I mean, the place ticks me off because everyone has to be so happy shiny and polite all the time, but I just don't put any stock into what I or anyone else says. Just talk and if someone has issues, fuck 'em.

Two peas, as much as I love it it also gives me the shits. I have been a member for a good couple of years now and these days I only look at the gallery and post on the General Scrap board. I had a bad experience a few years ago just after I joined on the NSBR, although a one off thing I have never been able to shake off that bad feeling. I have tried again but I too find it far too bitchy and clique-ish and it feels like to me anyway that I am intruding on "their" conversations, on the whole I just find NSBR a tad unfriendly, very mean girls at high school and I left that crap behind a long time ago.

Exactly! I stopped posting last year and decided to start posting again, but then I get attacked about stupide little things. And not just me... others also get attacked and its ridiculous. It's always about the TOU. The TOU are always being broken by the veteran peas, but its not ok when anyone else does it. It's total crap!!

I agree with both Aeryn and yourself Honeybadger. In my experience the NSBR board is full of that nasty mean girl elitist crap, on the other hand the General Scrap board is a place where they certainly blow sunshine out of there ass most of the time, however it can get a bit nasty when someone has some crticisim or something remotely negative to say about a company or product. There will always be people who are blinded by product, company or "scrap celeb" favouritism and no matter what your experience is it could not possibly be right as it conflicts with how they feel or believe and that just can't be.

OH... we're talking about NSBR. yeah, I don't play there, so I wouldn't know. I meant the GS board is happy shiny. And I agree though, sometimes they can take the "hey, that's offensive!!!!" thing WAY too far. Let's hope none of them go to a REAL fierce message board like Fark.com if they think the GS is "offensive". I have to tiptoe there as it is. ((rolls eyes))

I dont like 2peas too much. I constantly have to watch what I am saying because some idiot might get offended at something. So annoying! Like that pea who commented on the "spelling" thread saying her son has reading problems and it upset her. I'm sorry but not everyone who can't spell has a reading problem, most are just stupid, uneducated or both. They clearly were not making fun of people with disabilities. -------- sorry for the rant I'm just using it as an example. I am young, educated, from a major city, and liberal which is the opposite of 90% of the peas, so I have nothing in common with them. I just go there for scrap news, but I rarely contribute anymore.

unfortunately... any environment where you get a bunch of women the bitchiness is going to ensue. It's just a matter of fact with so much estrogen, PMS and trying to read "tone of voice". which is extremely difficult if not impossible. unless you use lots of emoticons and make it very clear you are joking or whatever.
of course, there are those who don't even really read an entire post and already enter the thread with an opinion based on the title and first line. I avoid the NSBR and think I attempted setting foot there once but left because of all the snarkiness. G.S. is okay. I agree it's sunshine and roses but there are a few gals who are fairly honest. i get so tired of monicab and her posts though. espcially when she is whining. the pub has completely died. kind of a bummer because there was a time I enjoyed reading about the pub opportunities and cheering for those who wanted to design and be on that end of the industry. minus the snooty snobby designers who thought the world revolves around them. of course now they are all too good for that board and chat on twitter. anyway i am more of a lurker now on 2peas. haven't posted in months.
