To think that MN seems to have had quite a lot of newbies over the past few days?

[Pioneer]

Is it just me?

Seem to have opened up a lot of threads where the poster is new to MN. Not that this is a problem of course - I think it's lovely. Though I am almost certain it has something to do with the massive amount of free advertising MN has had from the Netmums v Mumsnet battle !

[Tippychoocks]

Do you think they have come over to the dark side then Pioneer?

[NuttyElla]

Maybe people have namechanged, I have been on here for a few years but changed my name yesterday so may appear new

[Pioneer]

No it is definitely new people because they've said "I am new", and yes Tippychooks, a few of them have said "Heard about it on Netmums, they said it was really nasty, but now I'm on here I like it"

Muhahahahaha.

Take that Netmums .

[curlymama]

Maybe it's that stage in the summer holidays when the boredom is starting to set in.

I've only been here about a month.

[Pioneer]

Ooh NuttyElla, are you going to reveal who your alter ego is?

[NuttyElla]

nooooo! fancy being anonymous for a while

[LostArt]

What nm v mn battle? I'm missing everything today - women and cat in a bin, baby Cameron ....

[beccas]

I'm not new, but don't post that often and when I do its because I want proper opinions and advice. Broaden my horizons. I've been on lots of different topics and generally found everyone to be really positive.
I tend to search old threads for advice.
BUT
I am amazed at the nastiness that appears, bitching is putting it mildly!

[Pioneer]

This is only a part of it LostArt.....see you next week when you've finished reading it!

[Tippychoocks]

How does everyone know everything about posters anyway (apart from the ones that tell you I mean ). I can never work out how to look at profiles.

NuttyElla, you're not the poster formerly known as.......Nutella are you???

[Glitterknickaz]

Is a bit odd.
BarmyArmy hasn't posted since Sun I think, same day Breton arrived...

[lemoncurdyeomans]

I change my name frequently but I've been on here fer ages. Mind you, I also go on Netmums, .

[Pioneer]

I don't mean new names, I just mean people actually saying "I am new to Mumsnet, it's my first post and I'm moving here from Netmums

[RonansMummy]

i'm new! :-D

[Tippychoocks]

Hurrah for Ronansmummy. And indeed, Ronan.

Are you from (whispers)......over there?

[Pioneer]

Welcome RonansMummy . How are you finding Mumsnet?

[LostArt]

Thanks for that Pioneer, so that's where everyone's been.

[Nemofish]

thesecondcoming, I thought you were almost mumsnet royalty, hun?

[wukter]

Aw hun the secondcoming
I hope you are robust enough for this place and not a delicate little flower?
I really feel for newbies like TheSecondComing.

[drfayray]

I am new too but have never heard of netmums. But then I do live in Australia .

[Tippychoocks]

The secondcoming and drfayray, welcomes my lovely fluffy hunnybunnywoos. God, but you're lovely.
