just wondering, as i can't find it.

I agree rev. And the reason the SN board went 'private' was a very valid one in my opinion. It is totally different to the moldies forum.

fio TTR is there for anyone who needs it mouldie/non mouldie

ABloke · 06/01/2009 08:42

you forgot, "mad as a box of frogs"

Flightattendant7, you may be right, it is difficult for a new person/outsider to appreciate an established group dynamic.

badassmarthafocker, that is very hurtful, but have you checked that those people are still on Facebook? I closed my account last year (my employer banned us from using it) and some of my friends emailed me to ask why I had deleted them.

Tiggiwinkle · 06/01/2009 09:10

fio you have been picked up on it because you persist in saying TTR is the same thing as the moldies group. TTR is invitation only-but invites are extended to anyone with a child with special needs, the posters are not debated and voted on as to whether they are "worthy" enough.

Why you cannot see the difference I really do not know. But I guess, as the old saying goes "there are none so blind as those who do not wish to see".

Where the feck is the Mouldies MN oldies anyway, I googled them and found Rhubarbs blog?

I liked it btw.[blog]

Where are they? Here? Facebook? Other?

ClarissimoUsedToBePeachy · 06/01/2009 09:14

Badass at facebook deletions, mind I have no idea who most people on my facebooka re anyway- if they're 20 - 50 and female I just think oh yes must be MN LOL

great vetting huh?

I've been contacted by a moldie whome I got on with before and have massively appreciated it, she and I have ridiculously similar famillies and share a lot in common. I'd have hated to lose her friendship, even if some peolpe do seem to think its second class as its not 'RL'

(If mn isn't rl how come so much of my life still goes by when I am on here?'

I have decided the reason I am not on moldies is that I am too nice and they only want judgey people. And I do not ant to be told different LOL

Rev I think you're right about TTR Sn board, also the sn crowd had a weirdy stalker who appears on and off, we needed to hide then

Jurt · 06/01/2009 09:20

I think a few people on here are misunderstanding. There are 2 SN boards. One, on here which is open for all to see, just not in active conversations and the second TTR- a private place by invitation only (and yes people can be vetoed - the question is asked each time, or at least was when I was on there).

I said before xmas that TTR and Moldies were run along the same lines. They are, whether you like it or not, having seen the workings of both, they are. I'm not quite understanding why one is causing so many problems and the other isn't.

Final point, the vast majority of people planned to post on several sites. Moldies was an add on, not an either or. As I also said before christmas I communicate with my friends in many ways. My closest (online) friends I communicate with by email. Those who have left MN (and really I count myself for now at least, as I was posting a lot during November & December and now really can't be bothered) have done so because they don't have the energy to post here and have to continually justify themselves. Nothing to do with having somewhere else to post, and everything to do with having enough problems in RL perhaps without having to add in extra online ones.

This sort of thread is hassle that I'm sure everyone posting on here doesn't need.

ClarissimoUsedToBePeachy · 06/01/2009 09:23

It's not a vetting Jurt its to check 2 people know who the proposed person is, as eg people on the ASD topics dn't always know people on physically disabled areas.....

Please will someone explain hun and royalty points to me.

ABloke · 06/01/2009 09:27

please answer my 9.10am post, someone, anyone.

Jurt · 06/01/2009 09:27

OK, I'm going to sign off rather than reply to that.

However, there is no debating of posters on moldies either so I don't quite know why that old chestnut is still doing the rounds.

ClarissimoUsedToBePeachy · 06/01/2009 09:27

(Oh by Jurt is right there are two boards, Sn on here which is accessible to all but you need to choose and a yahoo group. The yahoo group is run in a way that anyone can request or be asked the only rules are that no info on thre is shared as some is very medical / confidential etc, and 2 people need to know any new posters on MN so we are careful about who is on there- as Jurt knows we ahd big concerns over =smeone who clearly wasn't quite right and happy to attack people on the SN boards, hinted that they wanted money and the like).

There's no 'Oh I don't like' business or just friends though.

ClarissimoUsedToBePeachy · 06/01/2009 09:28

But the thought of being debated is what hurt a lot of people initially Jurt. you must understand that?

fishie · 06/01/2009 09:28

i like custy's blog too

mnoldies is apparently a non-googlable message board somewhere out there

fishie · 06/01/2009 09:29

that was to abloke btw

ABloke · 06/01/2009 09:30

Thank you fishie.

So, anyone glad they are gone?

Fimbo · 06/01/2009 09:32

Has anyone been offered membership of Mouldies since this all blew up?

But people were not debated, oh except supposedly for some brief period, which I never saw (& have been on the thing since the beginning, not that I looked at it much for the first month or so) . This has been said many times. No-one wants to believe it for some reason. There seems to be some sort of idea that this was some co-ordinated attempt to exclude, rather than a rather shambolic effort to get a few long lost people together and make sure that it was never going to be any sort of competition with MN.

Anyway, first day back at work, so reducing online talk time can only be good.

ABloke · 06/01/2009 09:34

Fuck Fio no way are you venomous.

Some people get way too involved in all this crap.

Fio is not venomous though.

ABloke · 06/01/2009 09:35

Who is TTR anyway?

Doodle2U · 06/01/2009 09:38

Fio isn't venomous.

ClarissimoUsedToBePeachy · 06/01/2009 09:39

Fio I just think whoever posted that (and I really can't remember) was a bit hurt no more.

Jurt I realise that, but the debating thing was a big sticky in the first part of this and to be fair we don't have timelines as to when poeple joined. And that sort of 'myth' will shroud any attempt to move on.

Good luck at work. No car today (and £800 garage bill) so staying put.
