I personally think the private members group is a little childish. What seriously needs to be discussed that can't be discussed among everybody. And yes I'm aware that my post will probably be a topic of discussion in there. I teach my daughter to try to not let people feel excluded at school and social events. Having a secret "group" is like being in high school again and that is one place I really don't want to revisit...Comment

It's not intended to offend anyone. The purpose is to be able to share "real" info about ourselves without fear of parents or others seeing it. The criteria for joining is meant to prevent the same thing. That's all. It's just about privacy, not about excluding anyone.
The only difference in there vs. "out here" is that we use our real names and sometimes share details about our "real" lives.
Oh...and in high school, I was definately NOT at the cool kid's table, so I get where you're comming from!

I like that better, since anyone can view this site whether your a member or not.happyfaceIt's not intended to offend anyone.

I think you are mis-informed.
You are 100% correct, there is no reason for anyone to feel excluded or unwelcome.
The private section of the forum is mostly for personal talk NOT really at all daycare talk....a little but mostly when the issue is something that would divulge the provider's identity to the public...kwim?
Most daycare talk/discussion/topics can and are discussed openly among everyone.
There is no secret about the private area contrary to what some may believe.
The point of the private area is so that long standing members of the forum who have formed friendships and personal relationships while participating in regular forum discussion over the years have a place to talk freely as friends on a more personal level. It allows some privacy so that not every internet searcher or daycare provider looking for advice or help relating to work has access to personal photos and info that have NOTHING to do with child care.
Being part of a public internet forum has it's own issues so having a private area to talk about personal things with people I consider my friends and co-workers is a re-freshing and welcome change from always having to watch my P's and Q's and worry about what other members I don't know well will think or be privy to.
I think that allowing members the right to have a private section that is off limits to unregistered members and new members is a nice way to show those who have devoted time and interest into building this forum into what it is some appreciatation and respect for their privacy.
When a member reaches the required number of posts and length of membership, there are NO rules as to them HAVING to be part of this private area. That is soley up to the member. If you should choose not to be part of it, that is your right to do so.
If you should choose to become part of it, then like everyone else who already is, I will look forward to getting to know you on a much more personal and private level.

i am apart of a few public groups that then made private groups and i think its GREAT.. being able to discuss things on a more personal level with no filter is awesome..different ppl use the site for different things.. i know i am a talker and I like that one day i will be able to talk about topics without worrying if someone i know is reading it or saving it to frame me if i ever run for president LOL..Comment

Yes, Heidi is right. There is NO bad mouthing anyone, I would NEVER be a part of that. I include more details of issues as I have no fear of being discovered online, as well as my real name, kids names that kind of thing.Comment

So yeah, I had no idea this was already available and happening. Totally thought it was still in the works.
I am awesomely on top of things lately
I guess my only concern with pestering for a password now would be seeing that so many are chomping at the bit to get in there.
I believe I am a bit paranoid
