Wow. Way to stick it to the Mods. A giant F" You to you, too.

I am SO,SOOO glad that I took my unpaid time to post on these boards to DEFEND you, as you told us over, and over, and OVER again that an apology was coming. We waited. We proof read the draft apology for the loss, adoption and other boards. We continued to monitor the boards and report offensive and abusive behavior. Then, BAM.without warning you delete the moderator board, and never ACTUALLY apologize for your mistakes.  This is my good by to you. I will no longer guide my friends and family to your site.

I expected at least an email or something. Not just logging in and finding out. Thanks a bunch, yo. :-/

So valuable that you didn't bother to tell people they weren't going to be mods anymore? That's not a transition issue. That's just a lack of communication. Good job digging that hole deeper.

The post again did not acknowledge the fact that bans were made far before anyone harassed, swore, or did anything else against TOU. Mods like Naria up there were banned without warning, without cause other than they disagreed with changes. Even after those initial bans were others banned simply for disagreeing with an admin. We were promised answers. We were promised explanation. We were promised apologies. None were given. How do you, as a company, go after people calling them bad apples and continuing to tow the line even after these things have been pointed out many times by many individuals? This is all beyond idiotic. And now theirs that stayed, that tried to fix what the company broke, are being tossed out with the "Bad apples". This company has zero sense of community and zero sense of responsibility to the community. All you seem to care about are the fly by people who ask a question an leave. Those won't make you money. And you will learn this the hard way. I personally will be writing to your advertisers like many if those before me suggesting they rethink their dollars. Because this is no place for someone who wants support and community.

I hope it at least hurt you a little bit inside to have to act so two-faced; to act like our friend, and then suddenly cut as all off without warning.  To ask for our input, to ask how XO could rebuild trust and the community, and then to return to us with a completely mechanical, stoic response, after you cut the cord.  But hey, at least you got paid for it.

The thing is, I bet you don't even read these messages.  I have a feeling all the folks over at XO are laughing at this, and at the members, for thinking that we actually did have a place to support each other.  You speak of support, but you know nothing of it.

As a public company I hope that XO remembers that individuals have to hold only one share to be permitted to speak at your annual shareholder meetings.  

You thought we were silly, uneducated, trying to get pregnant/pregnant/mothers/mothers-to-be.  Oh no.  The latter may be right, but not the former.

I'm not silly enough to think that the cycle of TB will end, and that another group of women will not enter, find a home, and then have that home stripped from them when you renegotiate your advertiser contracts.  I know it will happen again.  It will keep happening until you find a way to better monetize your user base. The thing is, when a group of women, or well, any group of people, form a relationship they do become a bit insular.  They become a bit snarky.  Just like "in real life" groups of people who develop relationship joke around and have inside jokes, that happen here.  And as long as women make relationships here, the snark that you all hate so much will continue to live on and repeat itself.

I am curious to know which drinking game you guys are playing when you sit around reading these out loud, mocking us, trying to find the most vile or most "desperate" post.

Quit it, @BumpCaitlin‌. Seriously. We got the message. You wanted us gone. Good news; we're going. Why in the world would I stick around here?

All this crap over bad reviews on the app stores. Because butt hurt newbs whined that regs were mean here or there was too much snark. Well guess what! You just made that 10 times worse. Your app reviews are going down even faster and people are flying off the boards. No one will really stick around just to see people ask if they are pregnant.

 Thanks for being honest with us! (please see the sarcasm here) you guys just kept us hanging so we wouldn't spread the word that this was coming. You never cared how this would hurt us and make us feel so unappreciated for the unpaid time we gave you

So yesterday when you admins were ignoring the remaining few mods who were TRYING to stick it out with you, TRYING to help you fix what you broke, and we were being systematically ignored....was that because you fucks were decorating hats? You are one KLASSY bunch.

This bullshit might be easier to believe if it wasn't a direct contradiction to the drivel @BumpTara has stickied at the top of every board about "everyone was banned for posting porn". XO has a spectacularly bad way of showing that they appreciate the support and feedback of the mods, too.
