    Posted: 22 March 2010 at 10:11pm
Hi Ladies, I was just thinking about the facebook group OhBaby Addicts, which I set up ages ago, back before the official fan page was created.

It became a closed group just because of some weird stalker lady (long story), but it seemed sensible as well because some of us posted our usernames against our real names and not all of us wanted this to be "public knowledge"..

Anyway, now that the official page is running, I reckon the group really is more of something for those of us forum addicts (hence the reason I renamed it), as opposed to people who like OB but don't use the forums.

There is a discussion topic in the group where a large amount of us have given our usernames so people can identify us by our real names, however not everyone has chosen to do this.

So... My question is, would you rather make this group a place where you KNOW that every member is from these forums and who they are? In which case, everyone would need to provide their username so we can verify this, and anyone else gets deleted from the group?

This could mean a place to discuss topics you don't want visible to anyone else like nosey family members or stalkers since there is no locked thread here at OB?

What do you think? Change or leave it as it is?

Yes I think you need to be able to verify people. Off to check I left my forum handle in that thread.

I think some sort of verification is a great idea.

Just to clarify.. there are 272 members in the group.. and only 121 posts in the thread where people have shared usernames.. so over half of the people in the group are going to be a mix of forum users who just haven't posted in the thread, and some people who possibly joined the group because they like the ob website or mag (but not necessarily users of the forums)..

i think its a good idea - it would be nice to have somewhere 'secure' to post those sort of topics we don't necessarily want work colleagues / bosses / in-laws etc etc to read!

hmmm, I hope I don't have any stalkers (my ex probably would if he knew my handle) but my fb name is the same. I like the idea that it's 'private' though.

I'm happy with it being private, if it were not I'd prob remove myself as I have 'revealed' my true identity on there and use my username elsewhere as well.

Thanks Pepsi!

yep, I think that it is a good idea but I have just had a quick look and there is a lot of out of date user-names and some people who don't remember *seeing* around much.

I will have to remember it is there - I don't go onto FB much.

I like the idea that is private too, especially being on FB for some reason I feel I have to be more careful with my identity and personal details on there.

I like the idea of it being private, I forgot about it to some extent as well.

On FB I limit my friends to people I actually know & don't just accept all random people coming my way as I've got pics of my kids on there.

Ha, like I need anymore distraction in my day!

I prefer being totally anonymous on this forum anyway... I feel like I can ask questions without judgement from RL peeps.

I forgot I was a fan also, there should be a section for the ladies to promote their businesses too, like photography, and the lady who made those cosy sleeping bags, and anyone else who has interesting ventures..

Ok, so it looks like the majority want it more private, so I'm going to go through and check who has put their usernames (in some cases I know who you are already)... anyone else will be removed from the group, but of course can be re-added if they provide their username :)

I'll also send out a message to everyone in the group too for anyone else who forgot about it hehe
