I'm all for waiting to see what Cynthia says but if this isn't fixed I can't stay here. I can't stand to see MDC go down like this.

I saw the "save 70% on your birth" one and figured most of us here do-by homebirthing!

After the OSH drama many mamas gave up the mag This website does so much damage to the magazine it's scary :


This is the craziest thing MDC had something quite amazing and different, when I found it 3 years ago it was like whoa, home, I felt great that there was a safe place for me, to vent, to send friends and just other random mothers who I got into convo's with online and in real life.
Here I found wahm's and their awesome products
It was a safe zone from the real world where I was a freak for not circ-ing, breastfeeding and not wanting to stick my child in a stroller, now I can have these same ideals that I came to get away from thrown in my face in my safe zone and while I do have Firefox and am using adblock, it's insulting that I'm protecting myself from the place where I am supposed to be most at home online.
This goes against everything the mag is supposed to be about http://www.mothering.com/sections/ab.../about_us.html

i don't think it's at all early...cynthia said they were testing the ads 6 weeks ago and were having no problems...and yet, here we are, 6 weeks later, being inundated with crap.

i also wouldn't be at all surprised if MDC has signed a contract with google, in which case, we may be S.O.L.

a debacle in which MDC had entered into a contract with a site advertising books advocating corporal punishment

Are we sure it's not getting better already? On this page I have two cloth diaper ads, a doula ad, and a ebay ad. On the last page I viewed, there were three cloth diaper ads and another ebay ad. I seem to be seeing less and less bad stuff as the night goes on (except for the pro vax stuff). But maybe that's just me?

here, specifically the Q&A forum, isn't so much of an issue...it's the other, more specific forums that are being hit....CAC, vax, G&L, Pg&Birth Loss, etc...

they still have inappropriate ads

[CryPixie83]

all four ads on the pregnancy forum are for adoption

Oooh this one is priceless..not even for bf'ing mothers this time.
