Last week’s news that the popular Park Slope Parents list and website was considering charging members a $25 annual fee elicited a wide range of response from its users and others (see the poll we ran here) as well as plenty of news coverage. And now there’s another response: A band of dissenters has started a new free list targeting parents in the Park Slope area called The Other Park Slope Parents list. The group describes itself as “Fall off of parents who were a part of the Park Slope Parents list and believe that community lists should be FREE.” For now, moderation is “light” and they’re hoping that people “think twice before you post on a potentially flammable subject (ie vaccinations).” This should be interesting.

  2. wow, those park slope parents sure are ridiculous. how dare they use the internet to share information about schools, babysitters, doctors, etc.? look at them wasting all that effort on the worthless goal of doing what’s best for their kids.

    for a better example of how the internet should be used, everyone should check out the open thread, where you can post comments all day discussing comments that are being posted elsewhere on brownstoner! now THAT’S getting the most out of the internet!
