I've never been on the site, but I see from the Daily Mail that this social website has been shut down because of the abusive nature of posts on the forums. Saga are unable to 'police' it.

Don't let this happen to Gransnet!

Didn't you know that I was new age guru in the 14th century?confused
And my avatar is 7 ft tall and blue and flies a,idst purple germs, dreaming!

Ana Tue 12-Feb-13 21:00:26

Purple germs? Blimey Galen, are you hallucinating! grin

Galen Tue 12-Feb-13 21:09:03

Oh yes! It's lovely! They're everywhere you knowsmile they're the ones domestos can't kill? Tee heegrin
They're fighting the oyster beds to take over the world.
Did you know some oysters change sex at half time?
Oh the purple ferns are calling me
Floating, I will tranquil be
Severn foot high, Neath an emerald sky
Ivanhoe will ne'er come nigh!
[dreamy]smile

I want what she's having! This is far more interesting than Horsemeat. grin

Galen It's those hares - they are doing you no good at all. They need a new home - can't think who would take them on though!!!!!!

Galen Tue 12-Feb-13 21:26:46

They're very happy floating about 6" above my window ledge! Power of anti gravitational force emitted by the bisexual oysters and purple germs[blissful] smile
May the force be with you!

Also a lot of ex saggy's have moved to Buzz50 where a warm welcome was given to all

Ana Wed 13-Feb-13 10:30:40

Yes, just had a look at that. It seems interesting, especially for those who'd prefer a more mixed-sex site.

I have tried my best to try and convince those on saga zone that this is probably the best option as Gransnet will continue where the zone left off.
But there are many who have chosen much slower and amateur sites run by ex saga zoners who have not got finance to run a website.

Thanks for trying, 12Michael smile

I used the saga forum for a short while. I kept getting messages from very old pervy guys wanting to rush over to meet me. It seemed to me they would try it on with any woman who was very near to them who was younger than them. One told me he was a church elder and happily married but had to meet me in secet as his wife would not understand!!
You get nastiness on all sites. The truth is that saga did not want to spend a lot of time on running the site as it was not profitable and it was very time consuming and running at a loss. I know because I have run friendship clubs, websites and worked in marketing and advertising for a long time.. They want to plough their efforts in their paid for dating site, insurance etc.

Well, if you used the same name as you're doing on here, perhaps you shouldn't have been surprised! smile

Nonu Sun 04-Aug-13 22:14:44

Haven"t noticed many names from Saga here , so perhaps they have found somewhere else to go !

merlotgran Sun 04-Aug-13 22:14:44

I was thinking the same, Ana hmm
