Even if they did post a link to the Moldies site it is probably set up so that you can't see any messages if you're not a member.

BecauseImWorthIt · 06/01/2009 11:36

Wow Thomcat! You are gorgeous! Far too glamorous for the likes of us on this board!

notnowplease · 06/01/2009 11:36

Can I just ask those who are seriously hurt why?And if they were 'invited' would it somehow fix it?We don't all gel in rl so it is bound to be similar here surely?Not looking for another barney but am surprised to see someone like custard riled by this

Remotew · 06/01/2009 11:36

VinegarTits, want to swap jobs

I get the impression that some people have been deliberatley snubbed and some just forgotton and that's the gripe.

I do understand why the organisers wanted to break away.

VinegarTits · 06/01/2009 11:37

I just want to see if they are allowed to post a link

Its very existance is secret, so the fact that they are saying its not vetoed, its not selective, its just old friends chatting, is bullshit, why make it un-googleable if thats the case

They arent even allowed to tell us the web address, what harm will it do posting a link if we cant even see the messages or get in without an invite then? whats the link?

BecauseImWorthIt · 06/01/2009 11:39

notnowplease - have you actually read any of these threads? I know there are a lot of them, but people's feelings (including Custy's reasons) have been very well documented.

Asking for us to go through it all again is not appropriate now, not to say insensitive. Unless that was your purpose?

Thomcat · 06/01/2009 11:39

You can read what you want into my posts.
I'm saying that if you have a problem with some people you know on Moldies then don't tar everyopne with the same brush. If you have a problem with X or Y then it doesn't mean you have to have the same problem with a and B. That's all I meant. But take it as you will. I'm really not bothered.

And custardo - no it doesn't, I was told about the site and joined. Have chatted to a few old faces over there, it was nice. There were no terms and conditions. I haven't been on there for ages and it's only reading stuff on MN that has given me any idea about this voting thing. I've never seen anything of the sort over there. So no I don't think my "membership" makes me complicit in accepting such behaviour as I really have no understand ing from Moldies what this behaviour is, I've never come across it. I opn't apologise for joining a site to chat to some old friends that I never really get to see on MN as it's so huge on here and people get lost.

I dont have a problem with you TC, i like you, but can you tell me if you are allowed to post a link to Moldies? and if not why not? thanks.

FairLadyRantALot · 06/01/2009 11:42

notnow...those that really are hurt, are people that actually have had longstanding friendships (on and offline) with a lot of people that now seem to be moldie...surely it is easy to see how they would be hurt?
I mean, well, if your friends actually put you forward and than you were vetoed, than you surely would have to wonder why your friends are still willing to be at a place you, yourself aren;t good enough for....

if you friends didn't even put you forward, again...not much of a friend than...

it is not that difficult...and btw...I am not personaly affected....but I can see how people might be hurt...it is pretty straightforward and not rocket science....

BecauseImWorthIt · 06/01/2009 11:42

LOL Fio!

have only glanced over this thread admittedly and am not out to cause hurt although as I said am surprised anyone truly is that hurt and was wondering what the reasoning behind that is.from what I can see custardo is very popular

ClarissimoUsedToBePeachy · 06/01/2009 11:44

Notnow I'm not hurt now. I was initially.

Because it would have been nice to be remembered I guess; for one person I've spoken to in 7 years to have said 'Oh hey what about Peachy?'. It makes you wonder if anyone even noticed you posting.

TC that is an amazing birth pic! I look rancid in mine with ds4. And blardy dh sent it to his father straight after .

notnowplease · 06/01/2009 11:44

Didn't realise people had been vetoed thought it was just the non invitation that was the problem.

harleyd · 06/01/2009 11:45

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

BecauseImWorthIt · 06/01/2009 11:45

Notnow - go back and read the threads, please!

abraid · 06/01/2009 11:46

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.

notnowplease · 06/01/2009 11:46

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

mm22bys · 06/01/2009 11:47

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.

i never lost my friends on mumsnet. its hardly ...Africa.

We shall have to disagree about being complicit. for, ignorance is not a defense. Now, you are not ignorant anymore but remain.

Not in any other walk of life would one be able to use that defense,

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.

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

notnowplease · 06/01/2009 11:51

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

harleyd · 06/01/2009 11:52

sorry..but at its hardly africa
