Initially I liked The Bump's boards because there were funny gifs and great information on learning about fertility. But spend two weeks idly browsing the threads and you'll notice an unpleasant undercurrent of bullying.

Most of the "regulars" on the site hide behind the idea that they've been there longer than the victim. Any questioning about their behavior and they'll rally around each other claiming it's a joke (aka "snark") or that it's not that big of deal. How dare you point out unkind behavior and ask for anything else?! And if you're a casual user you might see their point. But I've seen plenty of users outright admit that they look forward to flaming someone who doesn't know the TOU or identifying "troublemakers." Many of these ladies know they're bullies, and they encourage it in each other.

The most maddening?! The bullies will call admins to the offending thread to close it but never seem to be reprimanded themselves.

Some other sites might not be as stringent about the science of conception. They might cling to old wives' tales and "fart rainbows" as users at The Bump might put it. But I've never seen anyone passive-aggressively antagonize each other either the way these do. Don't give this company your page views or clicks.
