Same thing round here, innit, dino?

Chandra · 01/09/2005 15:44

No it had to be something controversial enough to kick up the site.... what's better breast or bottle?

Or... have you read that book of a Gina something?...

MN Towers did once post a link to the First Thread. It was something really dull about potty training or weaning or something equally thrilling.

I dont think mumsnet was meant to be controversial when it first started. wasnt it something about travel? I sort of assumed that the first posters were justine and carrie under different nicknames, and their friends and rellies.

SoupDragon · 01/09/2005 17:33

The first thread was, apparently this one.

compo · 01/09/2005 17:35

biglips · 01/09/2005 17:36

Nightynight · 02/09/2005 09:17

I didnt realise that was the first thread! I remember reading it, shortly after.

zippitippitoes · 02/09/2005 09:29

things clearly moved a lot slower in the olden days, can you imagine a thread on dummies that long to get 11 posts now!!!

Nightynight · 02/09/2005 12:03

there were only 7 active discussions one day...

coppertop · 02/09/2005 12:07
