is there a moldies part three?

Oh--sorry: I must have misread something about Yahoo groups or I'm having dreams of parakeets telling me this was the case, or something.

I want to post over there too! whats the link?

Custardo how can say things like 'oh it's hardly Africa' when I say MN is such a large place and I don't see certain names as much these days and then in the same post compare Moldies to banking with a company that finances third world wars?

notnow and notamoldie...are you the same...because, I am sure notnow said she was a moldie...dispite the fact that she claims not to be a namechanger, but being a complete newbie than....

the africa analogy is an insult and no mistake

Custardo - It's not Africa no, thanks for that, but it is a huge site and as I'm not on here every minute of the day I don';t hear or see some people I had a connection with when i first joined MN. However on Moldies I could 'see' and chat to them very easily. Didn't have to search them out etc. Don't think I really need to explain any more do I???

Fine - we disagrre. WEon't be the first time, or the last I'm sure. Couldn't really care what you think of me for being invited onto a site to chat to people I have met where it was easier to talk than it is on MN as it's gotten so big ojn here. I'm not defending anything. I used modies fro about 2 weeks if that, probaly have a total of 20 posts over there! If anything certain posts about this whole moldies thing on Mumsnet have made we want to post over there again!

"sorry i didn't know my bank funded 5 year olds to shoot eat other - but now i do - i'll stay becuase it suits me, rather than people i have little interest in." Yeeeesssss okay, cos that's the same thing!!!!

notamoldieoraloon, why change your name then?

I doubt it is a yahoo site, too...because they don't have avators, have they....they do have poll options, though...but don't think there is a setting in which you could set up hun/royalty points options...

Oh my god, did you just compare being on another internet forum to banking with a company that finances third world wars?

have you lost ALL sense of proportion?

Peachy....funnily enough this thread has been going off on all sorts of tangents, and then someone comes along and says somehting like "get over it" and why is this still going on....lol...and poof...

quite amusing really!

should have read up before i posted

abraid I don't think it is a yahoo based site.

notnow...you are definitely at it with the jcb, aren't ya....

FWIW I've said several times I can see why it happened; don't know if i'd have thought ooh yes if I'd received an invite without stopping to think abut the non-invitees, suspect I would have joined although i'd have been sad when it kicked off.

A few moldies have said 'sorry you're hurt we didn't think'- fair enough.

It's the ones who kept posting 'get over it'IMO that caused it to get this out of hand. Plus people like to pick over stuff- and of course this thread does digress amusingly rather often.

You don't have to agree with someones feelings to accept them as genuine after all.

However quite why anyone would want to join now I am not sure: diffrent scenario.

Notnow does your button not work?

sorry..but at its hardly africa

custardo why do you care?You seem very popular here and post loads and get a great response. Maybe you wouldn't like it there!It is hurtful to be overlooked I agree but not a punishable offence!Free will and all that

if it fizzles out then it will be because people havent been using it like the proverbisal; cornershop

most social relationships have cycles

i dont think people are looking at it in a what will we all be doing in future way

life just changes

best to make the most of each day rather than always worrying about tomorrow

I think the "gripe" is that people have been here for many, many years and have formed RL friendships with people through MN, who have since gone on to form moldies, and the former haven't been invited.

It's a bit sad (and suss) that the very people who are saying it's not a big deal, get over it (won't name them but from this thread it should be quite obvious), are members, and thus have no reason not to feel hurt, or not to feel that it's not a big deal (otherwise they wouldn't be members would they?)

It's so surprising that some people who are members just don't get why some people who arent' member (or who were deliberately snubbed) just don't seem to understand the hurt and upset.

If they did, they would have invited the others as soon as this whole thing kicked off.

will do but don't want to get sacked as they look loooooooooong

If they (Moldies) post a link and it's a Yahoo site it might be possible for people to send requests to join to the administrators of the site.

If it IS a Yahoo group, the Moldies should be aware that Yahoo will be monitoring their members' web activity unless they opt out. There was a reminder doing the internet rounds recently. They need to disable this function on their memberships if it worries them.

Notnow - go back and read the threads, please!

tc, you shouldnt have to apologise for being on a site to talk with old mates
but i can see why others are hurt and upset, your old mates are theirs too i assume, some of them
no wonder they feel excluded
