WC denied me.

[Wines Not Whines]

Does anyone have a link to their board, or is it super secret invitation-only?

[lindyanne]

I am on WC. The mods have asked that the board not be linked until the 'hate' for not rejoining the masses over here dies down. They're not accepting new members right now unless you join through one of the regulars. I think they're just trying to keep a pleasant atmosphere on the board which I totally understand.

So they really think people are trying to join just to bitch at them over there. They really need to stop taking themselves so seriously.

I'm sorry, but this is hilarious.

So I guess we need to do a sorority style rush to get on this board now?

No thanks. I liked WC, but I don't like the "zomg, we are so persecuted and must speak to each other privately so no one can disturb our speshulness!!"

I wanted to sign up for the board and I understood why many went there, but this whole "not accepting new members" because people "hate" you all for "not joining the masses" crap is over the edge.

Seriously. 99% of the Proboards GBCN community does not give a rat's ass about you guys, the fact that you alienate the ones who do is pretty crappy of you all. Thanks for that.

We don't need them. Godo riddance. I can't even imagine what they are talking about now. Here's my blog. No, here's my blog. Barf. Here's google with access to zillions of blogs but no conversation.

Ba haha!

I would think that the people who go out of their way to join would not be people who want to "hate" on their hobby.

[lindyanne]

I have no idea. Apparently they got some people who wanted to join who were talking shit over here. I'm not a mod or really even a reg. I just like gawking at all the food.

Yes this. People are being proactive to join a private board with a posting quota, albeit small, so I doubt they are the haters.

It really is too bad that board went to shit. There are a few great girls on there that had amazing recipes. It got real eye roll worthy when someone would ask for example, superbowl apps and they would get all annoyed. Um... its the WC board, that is what this is here for!!!

[mbcdefg]

I don't get where the "hate" was.

[spiderspray]

Don't most of the posters on there pull revenue from their cooking blogs? Methinks it's a poor decision to hide yourself from the masses, then.

But what do I know. I burned ds's grilled cheese a few days ago, so that's probably not my crowd anyhow.

PS. Maybe the hate is coming from the supersecret attitude and refusal to be inclusive?

I meant from the WC people.
