Bren, is your new avatar from your garden? Lovely.

As emailed to another person earlier: 

We are fully aware of the greatnonprofits.org website, and had actually posted the link on our discussion boards (in various forums before 1Athena1) because we thought our members would want to share their (hopefully positive) experiences.  We were disheartened when we saw the negative reviews come in, especially in the last days. Most disappointingly, there seems to be an organized campaign by members of the BCO community to publicly criticize fellow members, moderators and the organization at large. Many of the reviews on the greatnonprofits.org discuss the issue of “their thread” and even use the screen names of our discussion board members. 

It feels to us hard to believe that the members writing the negative reviews appreciate the potentially long-term negative impact such reviews can have on the vitality of an organization, such as BCO. Reviews, both positive and negative, can seriously affect funding, reputation, and overall sustainability of an organization. Our goal is to be able to keep our boards alive and free of charge for the next years to come.... to be there for our current valuable members and vulnerable newbies to come. We are saddened by the concerted efforts of members to take BCO “down” ---- the very site that gives them support, information, friendship and hope. 

We are so, so sorry to those who count on our site and the support.

moderators, i think it is more the awareness of the review board that has resulted in more activity there, than a campaign. the very thread you are writing on has caused this problem, i hope your post is not speaking volumes about the affiliations here. this board has been invaluable to me, and needs to be in the future for new people who are sick. please take these reviews seriously, it is an indication that there are many people here who are unhappy.

When the same link and the same post is copied and pasted over and over and over again - that appears as to be a campaign of sorts - Just My Humble Opinion.

accusations of faking a breast cancer diagnosis are also rampant here on this board...and i am taking action on that. it is cruelty to imply that so mnay women who are very sick are making up their illness, as we speak, this is being addressed elswhere.

continuous accusations of sockpuppetry and multiple ID's are being addressed here and elsewhere as we speak. moderators are working on multiple ID's, as some here are stating they will have to notify mods about., i dont think you realise the impact of implying people are lying about their illness, or that they are one user claiming to be more than one...i really think you have no idea how cruel this is
