fertilityfriend.com SUCKS! Don't use it!

I've been charting on fertilityfriend.com (better known as FF) for a year and a half. I've been a member of that site for almost 2 years. Lately, it has become freaking ridiculous! When I first started going there it was April, 2005, and it was a great site. They had the free basic membership where you could use the basic charting features and the message boards. The VIP membership you had to pay for, but you got many more charting features and could pretty much set up your chart the way you wanted to. After I had been there for awhile, maybe several months, things changed for the worse. Suddenly the message boards were part of the VIP membership that you had to PAY for. WTH? They sent out a memo saying that they had so many people using the message boards that their server was crashing, so they made it part of VIP so only the "serious" TTC'ers would be there. So, I had already bought a VIP and by the time it expired I had made several friends that I did not want to lose contact with, so I just kept renewing. So lately it's been horrible. They don't want you to contact any of your friends outside of the site so that way you keep paying and they keep getting money. Fucking nazi's!!! Well, in 2 of my BG's we had already compiled a list of email addys, phone numbers, and home addresses, and we did this quite a long time ago. We never got in trouble for it either. I have gotten warnings twice, I think, once for refrencing another website in a post and another time for posting my myspace url! I mean, come on, really? There have also been instances where people have posted their emails, blog links, myspace urls, ect in posts, but THEY never get in trouble. So, the nazi's over at FF (and I hope to God they are reading this) targeted some people. That would be the group of TTC #1 OVER 12 months. Because we got upset at some people and told them how it was. FF police realized we had minds of our own and we weren't afraid to let it show. Those women TTC #2 or more (even if it is over 12 months) can NOT begin to understand the frustrations of those of us TTC #1 for more than 12 months. I mean, they already have a child or two, and we don't yet. There is a big difference, regardless if they have been trying the same amount of time. Well, many of my friends have been banned from that site for PM'ing email addys, cross-posting, talking about getting in trouble, making references to certain words, it's just fucking stupid. Anyway, I have been pretty much under the rader, or so I thought. I PM'ed a friend my email trying to get her over to the new FREE board that most of us FF'ers are using. Some girls still have access to FF, some of us don't. Well, I got banned and got NO WARNING whatsoever. Their own charter rules state that they understand that email exchanges happen and they allow it "occasionally". Well, I think doing it ONE TIME to ONE PERSON is considered occasionally, is it not? Just suddenly I couldn't access anything except my chart. You'd think I'd be grateful for that, but no, not really. Since I have been a (paying) member for almost 2 years and have never caused any problems or drama, I think I could have at least been given a warning and had to sign the stupid charter rules again. There are plenty of girls over there who get in trouble all the time and get warning after warning, yet they are still allowed access. They don't even get put on "read only" while their "situation is being investigated". I mean, come on. I deserved at least a warning. I even email them asking what I did wrong. Do you think I've heard back from them? Of course not. If I haven't gotten a response from those money stealing nazis by tomorrow, they will get another email from me, and this time it won't be nice. I even have 193 days left on my VIP that they are cheating me out of!!!! Ugh, I'm so pissed right now about this. At least the girl got my email addy before they could delete the PM! LOL Since I have ways to contact the girls I have been friends with for over a year now, I have emailed them and they all know what is going on. I can not believe how pissed off I am at this. If I didn't have that other message board with other FF girls, some who have been banned like me, as well as contact info for the BG's, I would really be tearing them a new asshole in an email! Ya know, infertility is hard enough, you'd think a site for TTC and infertility would be more generous and kind. Not the NAZI mods at FF. FUCK YOU STORMY!!!!!!
