is there a moldies part three?

[Tortington]

just wondering, as i can't find it.

ok i can see now how the splinter group occurred daftpunk it may have bee you alone

adds to List Of Symptoms

you never heard of digging yourself deeper?
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

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

ha ha...so i caused 150 to run did i?

ooops, no idea where that would came from, lol

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

I agree with lou, not a good comparison.

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.

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.

this bloody blame culture...gets everywhere!

lucky lazy mare.

sorry i meant to say

Can I just say - I'm a Moldie and have never ever, not once been asked to vote on whther someone can join or not. I was told about Moldies, didn't ever really feel it was an invite as such. I joined, was happy to see an unclutted site where I could 'see' some Mumsnetters I had formed some sort of friendship with over the years and recognised 98% of the names on there and thought oh how nice so space to talk with some old friends. Never did anyone ask me what I thought about x or y joining or not joining.
Just want to make that clear as some people seem to think that all people who are on Moldies are underhand, sneaky bitches who are all huddled together picking who they consider to be the cream of the cream and that's just not the case.
