Is Netmums not part of Mumsnet? [confused icon]

I discovered Netmums the same as mumsnet and thought that netmums was just a localised mumsnet. But now MN has just started a localised arm and I have just been on Netmums and they have their own talk forum so now I am really confused!!! Can anyone enlighten me?

no, they're.... um.... different.

Enid · 13/03/2007 17:03

netmums is nothing to do with mumsnet as far as I am aware

they just ride on mumsnet's coat tails dont they?

pinkranger · 13/03/2007 17:04

i found netmums really hard to navigate, came here and have never gone back

Greensleeves · 13/03/2007 17:05

MN has a localised arm? Uh?

JanH · 13/03/2007 17:05

No they don't Enid!

Netmums provides a local information service which is very useful for a lot of people. It really isn't in any way competing or copying.

nogoes · 13/03/2007 17:06

Thanks! For the last 2 years I had been thinking they were the one and same .

I used to be a Netmums editor, they are in no way riding on anyone's coat tails.

They are completely separate and localised.

fryalot · 13/03/2007 17:12

I've found netmums good for local stuff because mn never had anything like that (till now) but mn is definitely better for the chat and the advice.

mummycan · 13/03/2007 17:13

Where is the local stuff for mumsnet - and how come I don't know about it?

Enid · 13/03/2007 17:15

oh sorry

I think I may be getting them confused with someone else actually

fryalot · 13/03/2007 17:16

JanH · 13/03/2007 17:16

Rhubarb · 13/03/2007 17:17

Hey JanH, I'm due some lieu time if you're free?

JanH · 13/03/2007 17:17

X posted, squonk!

Enid, are you thinking of mumsonline maybe?

Enid · 13/03/2007 17:17

definitely got them confused with someone else who I will not name here!

sorry netmums

JanH · 13/03/2007 17:18

Hi rhuby - that would be great, could do Thurs next week? (22nd) (at least I think so...)

Rhubarb · 13/03/2007 17:19

Cool! Will see if I can have the afternoon off - late lunch?

JanH · 13/03/2007 17:21

Sounds good, I will email you

Rhubarb · 13/03/2007 17:23

Sorry Enid, do carry on digging yourself in a hole!

Twiglett · 13/03/2007 17:24

Oooooooh, it's a person?

I was wondering about how you could get netmums into a pie!

R0078 · 03/12/2015 23:47

Do prizes won with Netmums come from the same provider as Mumsnet?

MaisieDotes · 03/12/2015 23:50
