called Mamasource. Have any of you heard of this? Pros, cons?

I've only heard of it because I've been getting the same invitations for the past couple of weeks. They just keep coming, and I keep not even opening the e-mails.

I need to let my friend know that I *hate* this type of invitation.

(Sorry -- I know that's no help to you. I guess I have the same questions!)

Yes, I know, about it. I joined it b/c my sil sent an invite. I never go to it, but every day they send an email for a daily update. It's just a forum of moms asking questions and giving their advice. You can go on and check it out. I prefer these forums much more!

Ok, I just wanted to say that I do know that I didn't need a comma after the word KNOW on my last comment! It's getting late for me!

Did you know that you can go back in and edit your own post and noone will ever be the wiser!

:rant: I hate getting invitations to join Facebook, MySpace, and every other blankety-blanking forum and social networking site.

If I wanted to be on there, I'd be on there already. :glare:

Love the edit function! Of course, when I'm on the laptop it means sometimes my post are edited several times but that's OK ;)

A friend sent me a (misleading, if you ask me) link to click and "plant a tree." It turned out to be a sign-up for Mamasource. :angry: I really despise that sort of thing so I'm totally uninterested in their forum/community.

Thanks,

I think I will continue ignoring the e-mails and the requests to "plant a tree."

I don't have time to go anywhere else anyway!

Yep and I clicked on it too.. I don't get the emails anymore because I just deleted them--maybe they got the hint? :)

It's like a cheaper more commercial version of the Mothering bb's. I fell for that plant a tree thing too. It spams your yahoo addy and sends invits.
