To be happy that MNs latest spin-off is dead?

I don't like flouncers and I certainly don't like spin-offs.

AIBU to enjoy the fact that femvox is a ghost town? The latest casualty in a long line of the same, including the notorious Mumschat, the Attagirls and Moldies.

MN forever! If you want to flounce, then do it quietly. Nobody cares.

I've never heard of any of them.

But how do you know it's a ghost town if you're not on there?

GalileoHumpkins · 29/10/2023 05:01

You obviously care enough to make a thread.

Flymetothetoon · 29/10/2023 05:10

Say what now?

Justine isn't going to marry you, mate.

I don't know most of them, but mumschat was hilarious. All these people that were anti-Mumsnet, yet couldn't stop talking about it, or posting on here too. I think half of Mumsnet were lurking just for the laughs!

Who cares? Every big forum I've been on has had spin offs, some work some don't. One I was on is now a FB group for maybe 40 of us more than ten years on.

Beefcurtains79 · 29/10/2023 06:08

You’ll get stuck up there OP.

RantyAnty · 29/10/2023 06:12

Never heard of anybody them.

MinnieMountain · 29/10/2023 06:14

What’s wrong with different forums existing?

LindorDoubleChoc · 29/10/2023 06:15

Femvox? What a name. Was it a spin-off from the feminism boards?

SprogTakesAQuarry · 29/10/2023 06:43

Man, I’m still gutted that I never got a Moldie invite.

BIWI · 29/10/2023 06:47

So you had to name change to make this goady post?

It's not goady, just utterly irrelevant ;)

You don't like flouncing? Why? People can stop using a forum and they can say why...on a talk forum. For talking,

I was here when Moldies happened and it would have been stranger if they hadn't said anything at all.

People can use other forums.

VisaWoes · 29/10/2023 06:57

Is Mouldies dead?

Unusualactualname · 29/10/2023 07:13

Can someone explain please? I have no idea.

I've never heard of any of these, but anyone can start a website.

Witchcraftandhokum · 29/10/2023 07:15

You're happy a complete stranger's business venture failed? OK then.

OldBilge · 29/10/2023 07:17

For the love of god, will someone explain? Femvox was an alternative Mn? Moldies?

BethDuttonsTwin · 29/10/2023 07:18

"Nobody cares"

I think you care... 🧐

The AttaGirls are Mumschatters.

They got booted off Mumsnet and went to Mumschat. Mumschat was going to close but a handful of them found each other on Reddit. Whilst on Reddit there was a power struggle amongst them about who was going to make a new forum.
Tons of free forums that they could have used, but one them decided to go with with one that costs money to run. The maker set it to private and only allowed in people they deemed worthy enough, if anyone had been even slightly critical of that person EVER, they weren't allowed in.

This was similar to Mouldies too. They all had to all agree who could be accepted into their exclusive group and if even one person "blackballed" a suggested name, then that was that. It was endlessly entertaining here on MN though, as those who were "blackballed" would sprint back here to start threads moaning about the big meanies over at Mouldies, who wouldn't let them join the gang. The Mouldies of course, who were still all on MN would see the threads and return to defend themselves and dish out brisk tellings off to everyone. Was hilarious for a time 😁

It really was. It was like one if those Telenovelas with people slapping faces and dashing drinks across tables.

Moldies were 'Mumsnet Oldies'. People who had been on her for a long time and therefore felt they were Very Important People.

Summermeadowflowers · 29/10/2023 07:36

Femvox was started after there was unhappiness about the way MN was going following the sex board going onto active conversations.

I have to admit I forgot about it and didn’t visit, but I don’t think the sex board going on active along with a collaborative ad from Ann Summers urging women who had just given birth to enjoy sexy lingerie and resume their sex lives was handled particularly well.
