Unfortunately, The Drama Mama can’t answer your thread on BabyCenter. The Drama Mama doesn’t have a BabyCenter account. Aren’t you glad you don’t need one of those to read? Or to copy and paste?
So I’ll be happy to answer any and all questions here.
First: How do we think we’re going to be able to keep up with such a huge job? Well, in case you’ve missed the plurals, let me just point out that The Drama Mama is actually a whole team of specialists devoting their lives to archiving and preserving drama from BabyCenter. Okay, not really. We’re not that dedicated. But there are more than one of us.
Plus, any and all BabyCenter users can copy drama and paste it into an email to bbcmamadrama@yahoo.com. Then one of our authors will scurry back here and share it with the world. Sure, they could all start their own blogs and post whatever meager amount of drama they happen to catch, but who wants that work? Besides, if we team together, we’ll be able to read so much MORE drama. Everyone wins.
To address several other comments from both BabyCenter and here on the blog:
We’ve been around for awhile. Long enough to know all about the good drama. But the idea of this blog just came to us following the Stir Crazy Mom drama and the mass of women who want to know. Now why BabyCenter even deleted that is beyond us, it was some good reading! But they did, and people want to know, so here we are. If anyone has some of the infamous threads from BabyCenter history, send them along and we’ll share them!
As far as deleting the signatures from the posters. No, we can’t do that. Really, we could, but it takes too much time. If you don’t want your signature there, delete it from BabyCenter. You know that BabyCenter is a public site and anyone can read it anyway, so it should make no difference that it is here. And any Junior Nancy Drew knows that being able to see past signatures can out a troll in a hurry. We look at it as a resource! Not all of the copy and paste will have the signatures. But some will. It just depends who the source is.
Oh, and YES, you can link us! We’ve linked you! Link us, talk about us, put us on the board. In case you haven’t noticed, you aren’t the only attention loving wiener gobbler around (though we’ll let you keep the trademark)!

I think you have renewed my interest in Babycenter. Bring on the drama. You have been marked and will be visited daily, don’t disappoint.
Ok…it’s GENIUS! Well done ladies!
OMG, OMG, OMG…a post to me!! I love it. You sure know how to get on my good side.
First off, I call bullshit on you not posting on babycenter, but I’ll play along because I like you. I just don’t believe anyone can avoid posting on that vortex of insanity, especially someone as well spoken as yourself.
And a team….interesting. The only way it could really be done I guess. I want to play contributor!! I have some GOOD August 06 drama archived. August 06 helped get BCMissy her job on the bargain board…we were perfect training.
I’ll email it to you later and I’ll be checking often. I will also add you to my links list! Don’t go stealing any of my traffic.
Excellent! Thank you thank you for doing this! This should be fun.
Holy shit, this is just what I need. BBC Drama for the busy. Post on!
Yay! I just added this to my list of favorites!! I always miss out on the fun!
Okay, can somebody get me up to speed on what EXACTLY is going on with the Babycenter??? It sure is funny whatever it is. . .
Have you ever visited the Dealing With Inlaws board? It sure can get fun over there too! Way better than birth boards!
You didn’t link all the blogs. We’re enjoying this though. Keep up the good work
I can now feed my children, bathe them, have sex with hubby without worrying about a thread disappearing. Thank you-you have saved my life/marraige!!!
