to expect some old timers of MN to be twirling & scuttling around still

Haven't been here for probably 15+ years. Went absent, never dipped back in . But today something made me think of the MN support, the laughs, life's highs & lows shared when insomnia kicked after my little DDs were tucked up in bed.

DDs are grown and flown the nest. On reflection it was time well spent. Even the cliquey and other shitty bits. Hope you all keep twirling and scuttling around. If you're new keep with it, it will all pan out.

I think you'll find it's a very different place these days. Far fewer laughs, sadly.

I was thinking the same.

I've been here 8 years and MN used to make me laugh a lot. Now hardly ever unfortunately.

Almost 20 years and many name changes for me.

Sadly I agree it has changed a lot. Less humour, more neurosis and professionally offended, plus some really obvious goady trolls. I still keep returning though.
