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.

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.

"Nobody cares"

I think you care... 🧐

OldBilge · 29/10/2023 07:17

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

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

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

Can someone explain please? I have no idea.

VisaWoes · 29/10/2023 06:57

Is Mouldies dead?

GladysHeeler · 29/10/2023 06:56

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.

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

It's not goady, just utterly irrelevant ;)

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

LindorDoubleChoc · 29/10/2023 06:15

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

MinnieMountain · 29/10/2023 06:14

What’s wrong with different forums existing?

RantyAnty · 29/10/2023 06:12

Never heard of anybody them.

Beefcurtains79 · 29/10/2023 06:08

You’ll get stuck up there OP.

ColleenDonaghy · 29/10/2023 05:43

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.

MassageForLife · 29/10/2023 05:17

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!

Justine isn't going to marry you, mate.

Flymetothetoon · 29/10/2023 05:10

Say what now?

GalileoHumpkins · 29/10/2023 05:01

You obviously care enough to make a thread.

Saggypants · 29/10/2023 04:58

I've never heard of any of them.

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