I am a member of Groupy and have been fielding many requests to kick members off my doll group that are members and if I don’t I will be kicked of some groups. This is ridiculous and I refuse to do that and go on a witch hunt of any kind against your group. I run a doll group playpaldollcollecting and anyone who is a member has freedom of speech to talk about it and leave if they feel it is necessary. (hope they don’t) I wish you both the best and I hope that this nonsense stops and the slamming your group has gotten is over. I look forward to managing my groups now all in one place and making some new friends along the way. Thanks to Liana for inviting me and showing me this posting page.

This is so ironic! Grouply is the opposite of a spammer!… it took all of my overwhelming group e-mails and put them in one place, organized them, gave me a daily digest of all of them, added functionality, etc., etc. This thing will help you not hurt you.

You can see how the early usuers got excited and started inviting all of their groups which made it look like spam at first when it wasn’t.

It’s tough work firing up a Web 2.0 company, keeping customers happy, ironing out the bugs and keeping your respectability and integrity…

I’m leaning towards grouply!

I feel better now that I have read this.Â I must admit I was alarmed when my groups kept sending me email stating I had requested to be removed.

Mark -

Excellent, honest responses. If Grouply is a reflection of you, which I’m sure it is, then Grouply users should have nothing to be alarmed about.

@jan – Yes, I agree we should have recognized this issue in advance. Actually, Grouply has been out with these features for a while, but something just went a little crazy last Sunday and exposed this issue for the first time then.

@Rosalie – Thank you for your kind words. We’re trying to address the rumors as quickly as we can by presenting the facts here. I encourage you to send people to this page if you think that will help. Thanks.

@Irene – We think it’s a good compromise, too. Thanks.

Mark
