This message was sent by Pauladesigner for everyone's info. It is posted on the other site but in case it gets deleted here it is.....
I am no longer a member of H&H or this MSN site, but it has some info that has come to my attention that I'd like to clarify.
I understand there is someone named Lisa claiming to be a friend of mine. I would like to clarify that I don't know who this person is, nor do I know why she's claiming to be a friend. I turned over the site to someone who wanted to remain anonymous - I guess this person has since turned it over to Lisa. Please make no affiliation between me and Lisa.
Sorry for any confusion this may have caused any of you.
Regards,
Paula

[B]As someone who knows what's going on, Paula handed it over to Lisa (not her real name) but Lisa wanted to stay completely isolated from this forum, so she changed her name so that it wasn't associated with this forum and she thought Paula knew that. But she has just emailed Paula to clarify it so that everyone knows. If Paula didn't know, then it would explain the misunderstanding. I see that Lisa just turned the forum over to Janet in good faith. I hope it works out for you all. My good gracious, what a mess. Just leave it to them to straighten out. Why does everyone have to get inthe middle of everything and go snooping. Just do what you came here for and let everythng else work itself out by itself. If you don't have to be involved, why would you be? As my mom said to me, mind your own business and let the forum go back to the intended purpose. I'm geting annoyed that everyone has to have something negative to say about someone each and every day, even when they're not around. Can we move on???????????????????? [/B]
i think this is a bit much to come out of someone with only 6 posts to their name!!!!!...and for someone with 6 posts you sure seem to know an awful lot...?...kinda reminds me of the ''enoughalready'' post
so I only know what I see here. The first time the site was closed I rejoined but never uploaded my album again. When it went private, I was not comfortable with that, so I did not re-join. Nothing against Paula - I have the utmost respect for her. It just did not appeal to me. I never participated in the chat feature due to tech issues from long ago.
I think Paula just wanted to be done with both sites, and whoever she gave management to, I did not know. It appears janetc is in charge now. I wish her well! :)
i completely agree with you...i was trying to do the same thing....just so that everyone kept there guard up...if that makes me a drama queen...well...so be it
Thanks Renees mom...I thought people think I am trying to stir up trouble....
I don't think anyone is upset at you for posting Paula's message on this site.
Listen people, all I was trying to do was let everyone know who is a member of that site and doesn't frequent it that often. I have been around this forum long enough....to be suspicious, to be paranoid. I think the new members have a right to know and I am going to continue to try to inform them. I am doing this because it is what others have done before me...AAN, Dreamer, and Dy'n.
me neither....someone fill us in?....luv2, Newbie, Red.....SOMEONE!!!!
but i don't think it's Paula we have to worry about.....she wouldn't have handed it over to just anyone...she was the one that was concerned about making it private for the swap/sell feature...Paula definetly isn't the problem...
That's just nuts. Why didn't Paula check with her friend before writing such a pointed message? There I was yapping that we need to trust Paula's judgment, yadda yadda yadda. So much for that idea, LOL. As if we need more drama.
In any case, Red, I don't see what Foxxy has to do with this.
LOL....thanks...there's no way DH would be coming home smelling like perfume around me...lol....but...the name changing thing has got me wondering...and i still think Paula should have introduced her to us...even if she didn't want us knowing her name...just let us know that she handed it over to someone she knew...call me paranoid, dramatic...whatever....i'm still a iffy on the situation....i don't like the term ''lurked'' or however she put it....but i hear janet took over now?
[B]a question...if this ''lisa'' is not a member of H&H...why would she have to change her name to remain anonymous....no one knew her anyways...and why wouldn't she let Paula know?...if they are friends?.... [/B]
jenjen, I think you are part detective!

The MSN site is NOT affiliated in amy way with H&H.
your words are rather harsh. many ppl here are just paranoid of that msn site and the fact that it may have changed hands to someone that has not become a trusted forum persona - and rightly so. there are personal pictures and information on that site. obviously if the original manager of that site asked that a message be posted indicating that she did not know the new manager, that would create some concern. i don't see negativity, but just forum regulars looking out for the ppl that may be affected. many ppl have learned the hard way that the internet is susceptible to so many evil ppl, no matter how trusting and ethical you are.
i would prefer to have someone watch my back...wouldn't you?
also, keep in mind the verbage you use when writing posts. there is no tone since this is typed. seeing as you're new, we don't know your personality yet. speaking down to the forum members in that fashion perpetuates the negativity that you are complaining about.
amen :) :) :)

janetc

a lurker.. watch out!

smiles
janetc
like i teach my kids...nothing is ever safe on any site on the computer...anything i dont want repeated i dont say or anything that i consider risk i keep it for my real life friends....red, what makes you think its foxxy's moderator...im not really understanding...regardless everyone must be careful what info you type.
smiles
janetc
who is this mysterious moderator of yours?
Can't say I'm not surprised..
Personally, I would never trust my personal and private information on a board moderated by someone who describes their participation in this forum as "lurking on the forum for over 2 years"...
Careful who you share things with and what you share on these forums.. you never know who is prone to stalking or consistent, malicious harassment.
LOL :) you said it......LMAO
into a bad Twin Peaks episode...
