I don't like feeling excluded

and I can't help feeling that it's a bit of a whinge-fest and divisive at best

parent or not is a distinction that is ok - the rest is stuff that all parents should be part of - everyone has a valid viewpoint

I just wanted to clarify the word is 'Divisive' not 'derisive'. I had to go and look and see if it was Twig offending with her use of the wrong term or you lot. It was you lot!

Thankyou.

Dandy, I have thought about the whole royalty/hun pointing and the poll thing....and because I realise that especially oldies had always been dissing about the whole avater/ticker etc...stuff....I wonder if those things were just part of the site set up (by default) and than maybe some people thought it would be funny to use them....good idea or bad idea, that is another question altogether....but that might just have been what happened....but who knows...

Lucy - thats the favourite saying in our house......mainly cause we have 'nowt' (good old fashioned Lancashire word!)

Although whilst searching I did find this. I hope nobody minds but it is very ironic to see how times have changed.

We are going to start "retiring" threads in the _chat topic once they are over 30 days old. [bla bla bla] On the subject of chat, we are currently test-driving chatroom software with a view to putting a live chatroom up on the site - for them as wants.

sorry haven't read thread but as its not like me to miss an opportunity to give an opinion I'm against incorporating a chat area. I think they're divisive, cliquey and if people want to chat real-time then they can use MSN if you're not a quick typist you can get left behind people won't preview and any arguments / grudges will spill over onto forums you won't be able to see how a conversation progresses so if something flares up you won't be able to learn from how it resolves people can feel ignored in chat, or like an interloper MSN is more than satisfactory for chatting it feels a bit 'gang' like I'm repeating myself so I'll go now PS I vote NO in case you didn't realise

Oh well.

I hope I was nomintad and turned down. Wouldn';t want tovbelong to any group who would have me as a member

FA....isn't it ironic....

How, How, HOW can this still be going on? And please, no 'well put the thread on ignore' comments, because I want to know - I genuinely want to know - why people are still concerned about this?

I am not sure MrsMattie.

It's just one of those things I suppose.

Well.

Are you a Moldie, MrsMattie?

If not, does the idea of the Moldies bother you in any way?

Maybe you don't give a stuff. Fine.

But lots of people here were hurt and that is what is being played out. Yes, it's a bit like picking a scab, but until the scab has gone, there will be lots of picking.

And I think it's a pretty big scab.

i h ave no idea what this is a ll about

i hope it goes away soon anyway

seems rather dull to be honest

play with your own friends and dont care what the other girls aare doing is what i say

Good call Rev! You know your onions. And turnips

Ok. But how people can genuinely be 'hurt' by this..well, I find it baffling.

I will go back out into the normal world, now...come join us when your scab has dried up!

It probably is dull for some people, but so is knitting. Go and hang around sulkily over on arts and crafts, people

scab - put a plaster over it

remove when scab disappears

job done

If you do that the scab goes all soggy though.

Rev - look here

Mrs Mattie, I suppose because some people are friends in real life as well....and well, it must be hurtful if you think you are friends but then aren't deemed good enough to join in the "elite group"....

I think what people sometimes forget is that everyone has a different way to use forums....and that whilst some people maybe choose to completely change their internet persona, some people are themselves. Also, whilst of course these are only words on a screen for some, these words on the screen are written by real people, read by real people....!

BTW, just to clarify, I am not someone who was hurt in this process....I am not an oldie and don't know anyone in real life really....well, have met a few people when we did the "Mile for Maude", but never really made friends with anyone here.
But, I have made some real life friends on other forums, and I think I would be very hurt when those people would make a new group, forgetting or vetoiing against inviting me because I was deemed not good enough....

One thing I hoped for was that now moldies had been set up, there wouldn't be an "elite" few posters popping up on various threads and slagging off the thread (news ones springs to mind in particular).
I think one of the molides who has de-registered was quite vocal on expressing distaste on some threads that were set up, but I always was of the opinion that some people needed to discuss some topics (moldies being added to the list here) and they should be allowed.
So, if anything good comes out of this, I hope that mumsnetters are allowed to discuss the topics they feel the need to discuss, obviously within the mumsnet rules on not attacking other posters etc.

IMO - this Moldie business has cod written all over it. Whether it was set up by her or one of her 'mates', it just seems like a big coincidence that she had to leave MN for RL issues and this new forum pops up soon after.

I don't really care either way, as I think MN is a much nicer place now.

I haven't posted on this before, dunno why I am now really.

How is cod to blame again for something. She left because of rl issues, the group was already going!!! How is it her fault??

Sinking - I know it hurts, but think of it this way, people know you well enough for you to have affected them deeply enough to reject you . That means that of the random pointless interaction on MN, yours has enough substance to effect people.
