this bloody blame culture...gets everywhere!

Also agree with Buda. There are lots of names missing now but I can understand why they did it. It's a shame in a way but time to move on I think.

Does it really matter if Moldies are still reading MN? Or posting?

I really don't have a problem that there is another forum. There were some valid reasons that it was set up in the first place and then re-ignited (for want of a better phrase). I think a non-googleable place is a great idea. I do agree that something seems to have gone awry in the invite/voting system but from what I know of those involved in the Moldies (and no I am not one) it would not have been done maliciously. As someone pointed out about 5 threads ago most of the people involved are not professional forum setter-uppers (again for want of a better phrase!) and I am sure that Moldies was a work in progess to see how best it could work and keep to the ethos of being somewhere safe that people could post.

I understand that some people have been extremely hurt (Custy especially) but this whole MN v. Moldies is not really going to help anyone move on.

I for one am very sad that so many posters that I liked (Kewcumber, LL, Dior, Colditz, MB etc) seem to have gone completely. They all added a great deal to MN.

I agree with lou, not a good comparison.

FairLadyRantALot · 06/01/2009 11:02

finally we got someone to blame....it's all daftpunks fault....not the collective stupidity of the new breed of common mumsnetter....phew...

FairLadyRantALot · 06/01/2009 10:59

Can I just clear up a detail on the TTR/Mouldies angle, please?

I only started posting about DD in September, as that was when I found out she had SN. I had never heard of TTR until it was brought up on these threads, despite being a member since 2005.

BUT once I saw "TTR" mentioned in relation to SN I thought "What's that?" I DID A MN SEARCH

The URL is posted several times on here, so I went to the site and saw (clearly stated) that it was an invitation only site. It also stated who I could contact. One email later, and I was accepted as a member.

Now frankly, I would rather have seen TTR - SN, and thought, not interested, doesn't apply to me. Unfortunately life isn't quite like that & DD had SALT yesterday, will start epilepsy meds tomorrow, sees Portage on Thursday...

Now, then, does anyone want to persist with a comparison between a group that is exclusive for those that are 'worthy' or 'cool' or 'trusted', which no-one can google, no-one can know about without someone spilling the beans, and a group that is MN searchable, exclusive for those whose lives have been changed forever by being thrust into a world they didn't choose, and easily joined by a simple email?

Didn't think so

FairLadyRantALot · 06/01/2009 10:55

Well, I do that all the time....but yeah, would maybe bollockbrain is right and you are using a JCB, so, my services will not be needed
