Also, are plastic water bottles marked BPA-free really unsafe? I just found an article that says if you do use plastic ones, you shouldn’t put them in the dishwasher because high heat + detergents can put little scratches in them and make them leach chemicals. Maybe we just use plastic and hand wash only?
That’s just how mine look after being used a couple times. Years later they look about the same and haven’t developed giant rust-orange spots so I don’t think that’s actually rust.
Can you send photos to target/Costco and see what they say?
I would still drink out of them.
Does anyone else still visit the MMM forums? I’m not able to get access this morning from multiple devices. It says something about an Updated Registration Agreement but it won’t let me past that. I’m just wondering if this is a widespread issue or if it is just me.
Same here!
I personally would still drink from them, but that’s me!
But I wouldn’t put plastic water bottles in the dishwasher. Even if they’re BPA-free I’m sure another chemical is used that may not be safe.
Same here as well.
What is this new MMM bullshit about? Is it now a pay-to-play site? And the agreement seems far more limiting of expression than the previous agreement which was pretty much “don’t be a dick.”
I would like to know how they will determine what is “inaccurate” information that we are not supposed to post.
They couldn’t warn us of this change?,
What the actual fk.
This is PART of the new agreement and lays oit what we are not supposed to post.
“…false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person’s privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum…”
Does Pete just want to kill the forums?
Same - got an alert about now requiring a one-time $5 registration fee. Considering how much $ the site reportedly pulls in - this seems like BS, though it’s couched as a response to spam attempts.
I wondered if it’s a hack. (ETA: though the long message suggests not a hack to me based on language and phrasing, etc.)
Aren’t face punches inherently abusive?
New rules will eradicate the “Off Topic” section (and good riddance for the most part).
It seems to be widespread.
I wondered this too, but also - thought there are too many words
Wonder if he is getting sued for some reason?
oh that could be. We were speculating perhaps bought out
EXACTLY!
I tried looking for any message on the homepage, or twitter or instagram - I didn’t find anything but gave up on scrolling through things.
If he’s being sued he may not be able to talk about it!
Surely he could say - hey, we’re making changes to the forum somewhere. It’s quite bizarre. Glad we all have OMD!
The same thing kinda happened on a piano forum I’m on. The new owners suddenly pumped in tons of ads, some malicious that downloaded files to people’s computers! Someone created a new forum and a bunch of people went there.
So glad there’s an alternative, a much better one
Yes, OMD is great for many things. Including getting breaking news on what’s happening at the other place. Or so I hope because this thread is the most info I’ve found anywhere so far!
