Hi Julie,
There appear to be a lot of us unable to post from or laptops and computers. We are all getting the message

Sorry we are not accepting new threads right now.

Can you help us out?

I've already joined the alternative forum.

Someone seems to have forgotten that WE pay your wages ultimately. Not the advertisers. Advertisers don't advertise on empty sites.

Really fucking stupid decision.

Brilliant Rebecca - well done x Please do let us know what you find.

Flip.

Wouldn't like to be in MNHQ tomorrow morning.

I think they've been hacked folks.

Thank you, Rebecca.

@BitchytheGreat

Thank you Rebecca. Hopefully you have seen the other thread (Julie's one) which had it's Op altered and has upset people.

Just catching up now.

MimsyBorogroves · 01/01/2014 01:55

Thank you Rebecca.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 01/01/2014 01:55

Finally some sanity.

Think it may be too late to restore confidence though.

ExcuseTypos · 01/01/2014 01:54

Smile thank you.

Hi all,

HUGE apologies, just stuck my head in before bed and have seen this. We are looking into what has gone on now and are attempting to get you all posting ASAP.

Usual, unfortunately having been in the middle of previous shit-hitting-the-fan episodes, it only serves as a red rag to a bull.

Maybe, instead of locking the site down, HQ should have just banned the people who complained! complained, seriously???
I think that would be a much better solution!

garlicbargain · 01/01/2014 01:48

I did post this on Julie's "Ha ha, I'm gonna ban you all" thread. Repeating it here for obvious reasons.

It was incredibly insensitive to lock the site down over midnight on new year's eve. Loads of people look for company online at 'festive' times, for all sorts of reasons - one of which would be having to stay at home with a baby while all your mates are out celebrating. Mumsnet even forgot to support mums.

A forum administrator really should know the difference between a thread and a post. The error message was wrong, FFS!

Very poor show tonight, MNHQ.

usualsuspect · 01/01/2014 01:47

I expect they think we will all have calmed down in the morning,like naughty little kids.

I liked that MNHQ used to treat us like adults.

Not any more though.

timidviper · 01/01/2014 01:43

Crap. Whatever SHIT, not shot, obviously Blush

K8Middleton · 01/01/2014 01:42

...also the kind if thing likely to make negative publicity. Day Netmums founders honoured sees rival Mumsnet site go into meltdown.

Really stupid behaviour. Reckless.

timidviper · 01/01/2014 01:42

Yes. I seem to be locked out on the normal site too. Not a good way to treat those of us who have been out all evening and not even seen whatever shot you are not happy with
