If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

When they couldnt get the other forum to work they asked LL to help out and she did. Without her its doubtful mouldies could have existed.

not true. not remotely true. but please, don't let that stop you.

and ROFL at the sneetches. it's kinda perfect. [plain belly] [star belly]

And Lucylou is another who's only ever posted on those two threads, to agree with WSW.

Really, ladies, get a life!

I'm sad she is feeling crap but a lot of people's opinion has changed of her. She has let a lot of people down"

Running the risk of being misquoted in the national press by quoting someone else () but this is a big load of manure, LucyLou.

lovecat · 29/12/2008 18:33

WSW - have you namechanged to stir, because your only posts have been on this subject and quite frankly your one on the Vicious Namecalling thread was rather nasty.

I only became aware of the Moldies thing today, and I come on here everyday, I am so good at keeping out of the loop!!

I could say loads, I have been on here 7 years (various chat names) and I feel I know a huge amount about many of you... but I summarise by saying simply: Any forum that won't have lou33 I wouldn't want to join, anyway.

CaptainUnderpants · 29/12/2008 18:28

So how many people were invited to join ?

3littlefrogs · 29/12/2008 18:27

This is moving so fast, and I am a bit bamboozled by it all, but I agree with cliffrichard.

I joined MN because I read about it in a newspaper (can't remember which)and I thought it was a great idea. As a now oldish mum, who had no help or support when bringing up my children, I could see that it would be a fantastic resource.

I wanted to offer help and support if I could. I also appreciated the wealth of knowledge and advice to be found here.

This current debacle is very sad, and to me it is obvious why people would be hurt and upset, but hopefully this too shall pass, and MN will continue to be a good place.

Flihgtattendant · 29/12/2008 18:26

Please can we talk about some other aspect rather than particular people.

Flihgtattendant · 29/12/2008 18:25

I'm sorry I got into a discussion about individuals as I don't know enough but I do feel allegations should be kept to a minimum.

Apologies.

Why is it wrong that Lapin's using her technical know-how on Moldies, please?

The question was who set it up

I think helping with techy stuff is arguably incidental to the ethos and or planning of said site

but I'm not getting into all that, it's not my forte, I haven't enough knowledge, I just wanted to prevent the name checks really

Perhaps my post was politically dubious, but I know she's feeling crap because she told me. And before you ask it wasn't on moldies! I'm not a member.

I just think flinging names around is unhelpful at this point. Nobody really knows iyswim, who is 'to blame' or whatever.

WalkinginWaynettaWonderland · 29/12/2008 18:20

Cornsilk - I would dearly love to say yes, but I fear a certain actress from Lipstick Jungle would sue me

CaptainUnderpants · 29/12/2008 18:19

So has anyone else 'resigned' ?

And is the feeling of the majority is that they were wrong to do this 'forum by inviation only ' ?
