Hi has anyone else been on YAYW? I have only just started going on there and it is so weirdly clickly, in fact I have written about 5 threads and no one has ever replied. Its not like on here where everyone is lovely, such a shame hey

I know what you mean hunni, I've never posted on there kinda got put off by arguements and that going on.

K xx

It never used to be like that. I used to go on there about 2yrs ago when I started planning our wedding and left august last year after we got married. We relocated and didn't have much time with sorting the house, settling in SBJr and enjoying being a newlywed - then I heard all sorts of things were going on and I couldn't be bothered to go back and get involved in silly rows.

I've heard its got very catty which is such a shame cos it used to be so nice and friendly. Guess it just got very popular and arguments are bound to happen when you get lots of women in one place

I've made lots of good cyber mates and real life mates from YYW, many of whom are on here now which is fab.

I am from YYW as well and it has got very strange since I first joined.

There are just far too many agruments on there now for my liking!

Its not like it used to be x

i used to go on it , and rarely do now, but i actually thinks its quite entertaining.
It is very bitchy, and was never like that before. It was a nice warm fluffly place when i was getting married, with wierd and wacky convos about poo.......

much nicer on here

xxxx

Me too - I used to be a regular at the same times as SB, Mrs C and SY (sorry for shortening your names!!!)

Its so bad! But am I the only one who would love to know who it behind it all???!!!

Hey Mrs Joo

How are you?

I think it all came out the other day who was behind it all!!!

From what I can gather this person had been logging on under various names and causing trouble left right and centre. She was definitely behind the defaced picture of LC and another bride as she admitted it.

It is such a shame that happened - i found the website so useful as i was organising our wedding remotely and needed the advise of the lovely local ladies ... thankfully as one of the Devon brides we had our own mini chat forum that was so supportive and friendly to all .. but agree there was defo a bit of cliche behaviour by the time i was leaving the site ... im glad to hear they have at least got to the bottome of the problem

Hiya,

I've recently come back on here and been on YAYW planning my wedding. It has got bitchier recently but the best thing to do is avoid General Chat when it gets like that, most of the other forums are really nice.

Where did you post akaLadyK? Honestly don't ever take it personally sometimes posts can literally just be overlooked without anyone meaning anything by it.

I was addicted to YAYW before my wedding last December. I've totally stopped going on as I'm now addicted to BE. Only room in my life for one website addiction at a time !!
I seem to have missed all the goings on. Sounds exctiing though, can't believe someone would deface a picture of another bride. It used to be such a lovely forum for sharing ideas and getting reassurances over all the stress of organising a wedding. S x

Hi SuzMcH,

I haven't been involved in the chat as it has got pretty ridiculous at times over there but it has been down to one bride who as SB said changes her login all the time and stirs up trouble. She genuinely seems to have serious issues, professional help needed imho! xx

there were problems before her!
but thats the way when websites get too full.

I know of people who say this place has changed a lot since i joined... but were still all friendly at the least!

General chat should've been renamed the school playground!

I was Y&YW obsessed from when I joined in mid 2006 up until my wedding in September last year so, as with Joo, a lot of the names on here are familiar to me.
I pop back there every now and again and agree that the forums for actually planning your wedding and stuff still seem ok still but general chat always seems to descend into a bitch fest with some of the arguments being ridiculous quite frankly.

Hi
I have recently left YAYW,was obsessed with it while planning my wedding....now I am married and trying for babies I am pleased to say i can leave the site.It has got terribly bitchy,and it was awful while all that stuff was going on last week.
Think hubby is pleased that I don't go on there as much anymore(I like the you and your baby section),but he has yet to find out about this site yet!LOL.

xx

I'm another ex-YAYWer. Absolutely loved it when I was planning my wedding, and it was invaluable. There was the occasional bitchy kick-off, but it seems to have got much worse since then. After I got married, I went back a few times, to offer help and advice, if I could, but didn't hang around long. Don't have the time for that nonsense.

In any case, am so obsessed with BE, there's no room for anything else!

good grief - people were defacing pictures of brides?? that is shocking!! sounds much worse than the little rows I was talking about!

I use to be on it all the time, left last dec when I got married there were some people who I really did not like. And your so right people use to stick with each other ans it became a joke.

I would not go back on there if you paid me. I am only hoping they dont; all start coming over to this web site once they are married, the horrid ones I am talking about.

K xx

I used to use it. I now only pop on to speak to a few of the girls one one particular thread. I find if you avoid General Chat like the plague it is not too bad x

Hey

I was also addicted to Y&YW whilst I was planning my wedding. I got married 5 weeks ago and haven't really been on it since, especially now I've joined this site and DH and I are TTC.

I remember a few of you lovely ladies from when I was on there. a lot of you responded to most of my threads.

SuzMcH - I believe you gave me info on EDR.
