Hi all,
We've launched Gransnet today. It mimics the Mumsnet format but is for Grandparents, so they can chat about and pool ideas on their grandchildren, hobbies, relationships and anything else they fancy. If you know any Grans please do point them to Gransnet.com. NB any Grans on MN who'd rather hang out here are most welcome to do so and under no obligation to go to Gransnet but if you fancy taking a look, please feel free. (You could always do both Smile)
Any feedback is very welcome here. Txs

@jimswifein1964

ok, so i've registered over there; now there's twice as much time-frittering to be had

Justine, have you transfered some threads or made some up to start off??! There are some dated 2008 over there and a couple that say 'are grans allowed to post on here' etc. Not that it matters, I just dont want it all to trn out to be another katemiddletongate style wind up and embarrass myself Grin . And I want to know if I'm in the top 250 to get a book Wink

Yes, sorry, for confusion - those threads were just put up for testing purposes. We'll get rid of them asap.

It looks great, much better than Mumsnet

Bumperlicioso · 05/05/2011 08:59

Great idea but hope we don't lose all the old gimmers grand and wise posters to it Grin

Have emailed it to my mum. I hope she doesn't end up on here though, good idea to have a separate space for them!

jimswifein1964 · 05/05/2011 08:48

Cant you set it so it automatically recognises mnetters?!
Great idea tho, if my mum had internet access.

I have joined in solidarity. I'm hoping that at 19 and 16 my DC don't make me a gran quite yet.

Good luck!
