Nah. I'm a cleaner. I don't think they'd have a cleaner.

I keep seeing posts linking Cod with Mouldies. I am right aren't I that the Cod affair and Moldiegate are two entirely different things?

I have a new name btw since I realised I was holding onto my old one for reasons that are now entirely spurious, since I'm clearly not memorable in any way

FairLadyRantALot · 03/01/2009 23:34

lol twinkle...
as for cod and moldieville...apparently cod has nothing to do with the founding etc....

not quite so sure she isn't a member...

but then I don't really care where cod is, tbh...sorry to her fans...we never hit it off, iykwim....

neenztwinz · 03/01/2009 23:36

This Moldies business has totally passed me by as I was offline all Christmas. How do you know if you have been invited or rejected? I'll be most offended if I wasn't even discussed!

chipmonkey · 03/01/2009 23:37

My understanding is the Moldies came about when the GF issue was threatening to close MN down and was set up in case that happened but remained inactive. It came to full fruition when cod had to de-register so that she and her friends would have somewhere to chat. Now, that may or may not be true but it was my understanding of the situation.

RipVanTwinkle · 03/01/2009 23:40

No I really don't think Cod was involved. Wasn't it Twiglett that set it up.

I think it must all be in the archives if anyone can be bothered researching the history. There must be a book in there somewhere - if only I had the time to write it...

RipVanTwinkle · 03/01/2009 23:41

Set up the recent incarnation I mean. God why am I here discussing this stuff? Bed and a good book awaits - I'm off!

ScottishMummy · 03/01/2009 23:42

who cares?dissecting it adds to their inflated sense of worth.mn isn't about a particular poster/s.it is about the sum of its parts all posters

MoreSpamThanGlam · 04/01/2009 00:02

Twig set it up?

I really liked her...

You have to admit that it is better without the cliquey vibe. The amount of threads that went unnoticed because they were not deemed important enough by the mouldies.

I also hate the threads that are titled "So and So - comeover here" urgh.

And Cod got on my tits. And all the ocd fawning. Thats why I left for a while. It was so "ooh pick me cod, pick me!" i couldnt stand it. Still, what goes around..

Desi, check your email, quick. If you are one of the Chosen, you can go in as a mole and report back to us on who's currently heading up the Royalty points. And do other moley things - like digging tunnels. There may be some in there who need rescuing and can't find a way out.

chipmonkey · 04/01/2009 00:25

MoreSpamThanGlam, I really don't know whose idea it was but FWIW, I still like Twiglett! I don't think she would deliberately set something up to hurt other people. I think ( if it was her) that she had a good idea but that it was possibly less well thought out and less organised than it should have been. I think a closed forum in some cases is a good idea; what caused so much of a furore was the way in which a lot of good people felt excluded and hurt.

ScottishMummy · 04/01/2009 00:31

ah there is the rub,closed forum good if you are invited and hoi polloi excluded but if you are left ticket less as many were well feelings run high

closed forum,if it floats your boat,ok.but the price is less open forum spontaneity,adherence to rules,fitting in,dock yer moldie cap

who wants to be a selected few?when you can throng with the many

MoreSpamThanGlam · 04/01/2009 00:32

Probably, but if Twig did set it up, then she must have had something to do with the selection process no? Thats a real shame, I never thought of Twig like that, she was a fav of mine. Not that we ever really spoke but she made me laugh.

ScottishMummy · 04/01/2009 00:34

thing is i have no favourites.i enjoy posts but know none of you,it really is words on a screen anonymous interaction

MoreSpamThanGlam · 04/01/2009 00:39

Well I do, so there.

There are some Mners that I enjoy reading and think they are interesting/funny/give great advice. And some just bore me silly or irritate me.

Not as in "she is my fav, so I wont talk to you" :rolls eyes:

ScottishMummy · 04/01/2009 00:42

what's with the "so there"?your prerogative to have cyber frends after all.

MoreSpamThanGlam · 04/01/2009 00:46

Your comment sounded holier than thou to me.

Might have read it wrong.

I dont have cyber friends I have opinions on particular posters. I am not friends with one MNer. Apart from Pickled Parsnips and she is my best friend in RL.

BecauseImWorthIt · 04/01/2009 01:00

I know that there have been thousands of posts about this. It's clearly been something very emotional for many of us - rightly or wrongly.

But what I don't quite understand is why MNHQ want this to stop.

I don't want to be controversial or difficult, but if people here want to keep posting about this issue, then why shouldn't they?

What is it that keeps MN insinuating that this is not an area that they feel comfortable with?

Why should we not keep posting about it, on as many threads as we like?

Tiggiwinkle · 04/01/2009 01:03

I don't get that either BecauseImWorthIT...

RGPargy · 04/01/2009 01:10

Sorry if i'nm being ignorant (i dont post that often) but can someone please tell me what a moldie is?!!
