Open letter to the lovely ladies that look after OB. I love this forum have found it incredibly supportive and helpful over the years. I've been priviledged enough to even meet some of the other OB ladies who are all fabulous. Thanks ladies, long may OB continue. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

*LIKE*
Lets bring the forum back to being helpful and not about critising and judging others and please can we stop taking things so personally and being so sensitive and misinterupting things cos this is supposed to be a helpful thread where we should feel comfortable asking a question and not be attacked for not asking it the right way. If your in a negative argumentative mood (as we can all get in from time to time) why dont we just stay away from the forum at that moment or try to not jump to conclusions or on bandwagons etc HAPPY POSITIVE COMMENTS |

I'd have to say that the sniping and nasty comments on here of late are a little off putting to a semi regular poster. Come on ladies we are all adults. "Goes back into her corner" |

Agreed!
I get really pissy with people putting the site down publicly because they've gotten their knickers in a twist about something insignificant. I think some of us forget that this site has a bajillion great things about it and maybe one or two not so great things. I have stayed well away from those threads bagging you recently OB but have always been thinking 'GET OVER IT, you aren't entitled to anything even though you seem to think you are!' Thank you to all the people that have made OB such an enjoyable, informative, safe and supportive place to be.

I only started this, cause I was getting disheartened by OB, then I realised it was one individual spoiling it and nothing to do with the rest of OB at all. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Hehe I'm keen to know who the 'one' is - me?
It'll get better again, but I think some recent attitudes may have turned a few off for a long time which is unfortunate. I still think out of most company-run forums, it's one of the better ones. |

Not at all what AandCs mum said about things going in roundabouts, and cause this wasn't meant to be a 'I love OB' post more a realization by me, that it was my reaction to what was being said. |

| I'm guessing that it is being reported because of the mention of one poster only, in a not appealing light. |

| This was a lovely thread about OB...and then it became focussed on someone in particular, which completely diverts the focus of the thread, and makes it negative again... |

jazzy i think we need to shift the focus....
so lets instead either go back to the original posters comment or not post at all! ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

It doesn't matter jazzy, the point of my post was to put the focus back on OB and not the small number of people who try to bring it down. There has been a couple of threads over the last week with people having a go at OB, when its nothing to do with them (as in the people that run OB). This is an open forum, IMO if you can't say want you want to say without resorting to PM's then maybe you shouldn't be sending them. Do I have to start singing kumbya to bring back the love?  ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Hehe, so we can sing now? Not that it made any difference to me, my singing is so bad I'm sure it would offend even over the internet
I'm an unashamed OB supporter - this is a great website, with great people. You'll get a few oddballs on any website (I'm not thining of anyone in particular when I say that) and OB has surprisingly few
Oh, and edited to add that now that I can reccomend baby-focussed websites without drawing weird looks (no-one knew we were trying) I reccommend this site to everyone, particularly anyone I know having fertility issues, because it was so much help to me then. -------------

Ang - does that apply to recipes too? I was thinking that it now seems pointless having a food and recipe section if we can't share our fave recipes???

There is no copyright infringement to sharing a published recipe so long as you acknowledge the author.

Mel maybe the OB rules said that (and I think you're right that they did last week) but there is nothing in copyright law that says you can't so maybe that's why they changed them? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

yeah I remember us all commenting on the thread that Katherine posted a week or so ago... about the recipes... all good though.. I was just sitting here earlier wondering if they were going to go thru and delete all the recipes that people had posted!!!
