Hello from GNHQ

I agree with DanniRae about lack of competitions and also the monthly book giveaway which is missed by many. Hope the publishers will start this up again. I have been lucky enough to receive a few books over the years and started an arrangement with another GNetter that if one of us received the book and the other missed out, we sent the book to the unlucky one. It worked well.

No, Meryl, I think you must be getting a little confused in your old age.
I'm sure that hasn't been happening.

Not been on Gransnet long but I also find it hard to follow the OP's messages. All posts are white.
Think if I got a lot of ' dislikes' I'd be off! Not keen.

LilyGransnet whilst were grateful for your assurances that out requests are being taken seriously and being passed on to decelopers but may take some time to implement, please can I draw your attention to a request that was made over a year ago and has still not seen fruition? Iam64 and several others, asked for a Feminism chat section, just like the one on Mumsnet. We were assured that it could be done but, a year later, and no sign of it. Please don't assume that just because the majority of us here are grey haired and retired, that we don't want to discuss feminist issues in a designated space. Can we have that space or not please?

This will be chased up first thing tomorrow morning - will keep you updated.

LilyGransnet please could you give an update on this?

Hi Chewbacca
I’ve been pondering this.
I wonder if GN are reluctant to create a Feminism / Women’s Rights sub-forum because it might attract unwelcome attention from TRAs, like the MN Feminist sub-forum did / does.

To be honest I think they would be completely insane to create another one. I say this as a poster on the MN board and someone who has asked for a gn feminist board. I imagine that when Monday morning arrived the response was you promised them what?, that's the last time you are are left alone at the weekend

Well, it looks like we'll never know because LiliGransnet never did come back to us first thing tomorrow morning did she!

I think you could be right. To be honest, it's an uphill struggle as it is, without that.

It would be good if we had an update on when Iam64 will be able to post, though.

Indeed it would Doodledog but GNHQ seems to be incommunicado lately.

Thank you LilyGN

??? three years later….. Oh what a sceptic I am

As several weeks have passed I thought I would bring this to the top again in the vain hope that it might catch some ones attention?

Yes, and whilst you're here, HQ, this is a reminder that Iam64 is still out in the wilderness.

Remember Iam64.

How strange that I had put this out of my mind with no expectation of action from GNHQ.

I contacted HQ at the weekend about something trivial, and engaged with a nice person called Kim.
I mentioned that the Search Function doesn’t work for me, and indeed many others, and she was genuinely surprised.

What on earth can be so difficult about getting Iam64 back posting on the forums again.

Come on GNHQ, this has gone on long enough and needs to be sorted ASAP.

What’s ‘the replication’ that Lily says is the problem for Iam64?
Does anyone know what this means?

No idea. All I can think of is that they might want to set up another account in the same name, but that may be well wide of the mark.

How hard can that be anyway?

Surely it would only need a name change, even keeping it similar by adding a number or two so people would know who it is.

That's what I would have done at the start - registered as Iam65 or something, but I think Iam has tried that and it didn't work.

So I month on has anything happened about ANY requests
It’s gone very quiet maybe

Ask for views - box ticked.

Take action on views - oh, no box for that one.
