Thanks for the invite Manybooks!

Thank you for this, Manybooks!

[P.E.]

Thanks to Manybooks for the invite, hi everyone!

[Manybooks]

You are welcome, I sat in front of my laptop this morning and thought a group for chatting is necessary for me (although this obviously is much more public than PMs were and would be).

[Pamela]

hello 👋

[Linda]

Over two hours ago I posted a link to the petition to stop GR from eliminating the Private Messaging Service. My message seems to have disappeared from the site. Did anyone take it down?

I certainly have not taken anything down (so this sounds troubling).

I was able to sign it at 7ish.

A petition? Can anyone direct me to the petition without breaking rules about links?

One group member says she posted about the petition but that the post no longer exists. I certainly have not removed it, so ...

[Carol, She's so Novel ꧁꧂]

There is a bug where posts disappear - could be that.

Gosh, I hope not, but it would be better than deliberate removal.

It has caused problems in other groups.

Edit: the other group is private but here is one example from the Librarians Group.

Hi back, although I wish this group would not be necessary.

[iain]

Well we all hoped that but gr has put the people who really read and do reviews and meet other readers in a awkward position

[QNPoohBear]

The petition is on change.org and already has 1000 signatures.

I signed as well, but I will definitely not be holding my breath.

[Karin]

Thanks for the invite!

I hope the petition gets results but I will definitely not be counting on this.

It is a public group, so the more the merrier.

hello folks
Great idea for a group. Would that it was not needed.

I wish that as well, but I do not think that the petition will have much if any success.

[Arzu]
