Does anyone know of any GC forums or someone who could build one? I would more than happily contribute in any way I could including financial. Happy to have DM's if people don't want to post in public.

Facebook is no good as I don't have and don't want a FB account.

Thanks in advance.

Work as a freelance Web designer, I have the back end of a forum ready built as a template for clients, so it's fairly easy to do. Need need a catchy name and bang it can be set up. It's just the running costs unfortunately.

What if everyone paid you £5 a year?

I'd pay.

GCNet.

spontaneousgiventime · 14/06/2018 19:41

I don't care about running costs, thankfully I'm in a position to say that part is irrelevant. It's the actual forum we need so we have a place to talk freely.

@Southfields something like that would work out well, couldn't place ads on it because their probably end up getting them removed. Unfortunately that address is taken :'(

Could we collect a list of GC resources? I'm happy to have people DM them to me or we could choose someone to be the collator and pass them out to known MN names.

They must allow us to speak freely.

There's a 'Gender Critical' sub on Reddit that is very active and has members from all around the world.

spontaneousgiventime · 14/06/2018 20:01

Please don't post links here. We know certain groups of people will attempt to get them closed down.

The Reddit sub being suggested isnt a good place at all, ive even signed up here ( which i dont want to do considering the gestapo vibe lately)

Its completely American centric, and the mods are delusional in their belief that its GC there - its only GC concerning a very narrow field of interest, everything else is Lib Fem all the way ( after all its Americans that invented this identity politics guff)

I have only ever lurked there ( as here) but a friend of mine left after telling me about the the strident;ly anti white women attitude there - they celebrated Berkoffs comments on all whites being drenched in racism, they also played down the horrifying news about the Muslim rape gangs in England, bullying any women ( even if British) who commented that white girls were being targeted.

Yes GC talk needs a new home - but that is NOT it.

Ereshkigal · 14/06/2018 21:51

Why don't we start our own GC Mumsnet subreddit?

JoanSummers · 14/06/2018 21:56

Something to do with the Furies?

spontaneousgiventime · 14/06/2018 21:58

I don't do reddit, is it easy to set up a sub reddit?

OP posts:
Ereshkigal · 14/06/2018 22:08

I'm not sure OP but there is a popular MN splinter group subreddit there set up by former and current MN posters so it can't be that difficult.

spontaneousgiventime · 14/06/2018 22:08

I now know there is a forum open and available. I'm not going to say anything about it here but I have joined. I'm sure if there is anyone who is interested in joining if you post here the person who runs the forum will contact you privately.

OP posts:
Cwenthryth · 14/06/2018 22:14

Posting so the person running it can contact me privately (how mysterious!)

I’ve never managed to navigate Reddit successfully. It’s a very confusing layout.

spontaneousgiventime · 14/06/2018 22:20

Cwenthryth Cloak and dagger is about the only fun we're likely to get around here any more.

Cuntysnark · 14/06/2018 22:22

I’m posting here too for Reddit info. Having somewhere to speak freely would be so refreshing...

JoyTheUnicorn · 14/06/2018 22:26

Posting so I can be contacted as well.

Macareaux · 14/06/2018 22:30

I'm interested too please.

bd67th · 14/06/2018 22:30

Me too.

RaininSummer · 14/06/2018 22:34

Please contact me about the new forum if possible.

There are 2 GC reddits. Gender_Critical is the reddit for splitters who objected to the authoritarianism of the mods on GC.
You might like it better.
AAK's and my friend Kim has offered to set up a site if the women here need it.

Ilikelotsofthinngs · 14/06/2018 22:38

Im interested. I can't see this forum being able to continue as it is, and we need a place to be able to talk and organise.

AncientLights · 14/06/2018 22:38

Me too please, I am interested.

haXXor · 14/06/2018 22:40

I am willing to peer review code and pentest the site before it goes live, pro bono as a service to the FWR community. I'm not accusing @somethingsomethingfox of being a bad dev, but I am aware that any site GC folks set up will get attacked technologically and two pairs of eyes always beat one.
