Er I hope it doesn't come to this but where would we all go if mumsnet closed?

I'm working on getting us a temporary home - with forums etc

I can't say it will come to anything, but I have made the first approach this morning. The site is nothing to do with childcare but is passionate about freedom of speech

I'll post if I get a response

could badmothers even cope if mn en masse charged over there?!It looks a lot smaller. Their servers would prob explode.

badmothers club usually come here when the site is down. we could see it as a place to meet if we all get lost.

I used to go on babycentre but I would fall asleep whilst reading the postings although they are really, really helpful. There's a basic cattiness missing

ez board is easy to set up a temp forum and available all over the world(apparently, i have never tried to set one up tho)

Although nobody would have to be barking to pursue this after all the bad press. The exposure of their own 'tantrum' (c. Daily Mail) isn't doing their public image/book sales much good.

at Fennel. Bounty and BMC members have been really supportive over this so maybe if it all went t*ts up we should give them a try? Am sure some technically literate MNrs could set up a stripped down message board though - MN.com?

we could have one based in the US, where the libel laws are freer. momsnet. though maybe that exists already.

bad mothers club has always appealed to me, we'd swamp it though I think. mumsnet could split between those who go to Bad Mothers Club and those who start a new Sanctimonious Mothers Club

oh sorry that was last week. of course now we're united. i was forgetting.

Like NdP, I don't think I would de-camp, it just wouldn't feel right.

lol @ Freddie Laker reference.

too to contemplate - a new forum called "take no shit" should be formed

I hope that if the unthinkable does happen, we won't have to join another one, just regroup there whilst a new 'Vipersnest.com' is set up. I for one would be willing to contribute to help regroup.

I have been off sick from work for weeks now and TBH Mn has been my lifeline, literally my contact with the outside world. I have never visited nor read so much on here.

Oh, we like visitors. Join the CAT facility. Hand in your £5 and support our beloved Mumsnet!!

Could we start advertising Mumsnet in maternity wards? Antenatal classes? Put little post it stickies in all of NOBODY's books in Waterstones and any other bookstores?

Oh oh oh.... have we hit babycentre.co.uk??

just had one of those experiences where you post on a thread that gets deleted just as you click to post message..glad to find everything else still here

think we should tiidy up all these lurid sex threads though stick them under the sofa cushions or something as no doubt we are having visitors

I reckon we should all bite the bullet and scrape together 40 quid and all join CCLB forum - oh what fun

quite clever that £40 membership - its almost as if she knew ..............

Churchill - borg... both works for me and www

I'm sure mn would emerge on another domain that's why the internet is so great no assimilation required.

Isn't this why the whole thing is so ridiculous though? Mumsnet would close so we'd all go somewhere else to talk, even about SWMNBN. SO what's the point?

I flew with Freddie Laker

I've always thought it could be a real possibility that mnet could close. If you can't afford to fight the legal action you close, no matter who would actually win a case.

I was going for more of a Winston Churchillesque effect. But, borg will do.

NDP, I expect a new site just like MN would rise up. We wouldn't need to merge into some other existing one.

But, it isn't going to come to that. MN will survive. Failure is not an option.
