I remember when we used to be able to click on a heading for threads from the "last week"! I'd do it periodically, and would read most to catch up on what I'd missed. Can't even get through threads from the "last day" now as it seems to hover around the 500 threads started per day...Shock No wonder we can't keep up!

Perhaps we need boards like a 'Mumsnet alumni' s that Class of 2000 can all chat, 2001 etc

Kind of Mumsnet Friends Reunited?

Personally I can't keep up, so don't really bother any more....Sad

hermykne · 28/05/2006 21:59

i felt like saying this too, 3 yrs i am here and i cannot keep up at all.
plus i forget peoples stories/background whicj is slightly embarressing when they remeber mine.

zephyrcat · 28/05/2006 21:57

I do the same as you as well miaou! I've only been here for about 18 months now and it's totally different now to how it was when I first came here, somehow seem to have gotten so much bigger and I also can't keep track of all the new ones and the name changes!

Legacy · 28/05/2006 21:56

Shouldn't the Good Housekeeping board be called 'Gifted & Talented Domesticity'?

snafu · 28/05/2006 21:53

Could we have a 'clique' topic then, please?

i cna hear you

charliecat · 28/05/2006 19:20

It was a while back, about 4 years ago i think, and there was only 2 days reading to do, now it would take months.:)

Earlybird · 28/05/2006 19:04

I know some people have name changed for privacy reasons, but maybe we should start a "who are you know, and who did you used to be" for those of us who are can't keep up? That way, people could voluntarily participate - or not.

LadyTophamHatt · 28/05/2006 19:03

Charliecat.....you read the whole on mn???

jesus woman, thats dedicationGrin

Mioau, I find myslef doing the same with the familar names thing. Clique anyone??Wink

zippitippitoes · 28/05/2006 19:01

I think a lot of people have joined in the last 5 or 6 weeks, but what seems to happen is that after the flurry the number of posters drops back again and you can get a grip..

if you want to Smile

Miaou · 28/05/2006 18:59

ooh I was thinking about starting a similar thread recently ... tbh I now just tend to hone in on familiar names and topics that interest me - however I quite often find I have missed important events in people's lives for days on end. It is soooo different to when I joined (only 2 years ago!)

Earlybird · 28/05/2006 18:55

Hey Twiglett - how did you come up with the number 27?

Agree with everyone else - impossible to know who's who anymore with all the namechanges and new folks.

charliecat · 28/05/2006 18:53

I read the whole of MN when I first joined, took about 2 days. It would be impossible now :(

Twiglett · 28/05/2006 18:52

there's still only 27 threads that are interesting though .. the rest are dross

zippitippitoes · 28/05/2006 18:49

I think there are loads of people and loads of people who have changed names and loads of new people and loads of people with such similar names that i haven't relaised they are new people
