Seriously. OK so we'll do all we can to prevent that happening and so will Mumsnet HQ but what if the worst happens? Will we all have to talk to our husbands? Or descend on BadMothersClub? Seriously, we should have a place planned to 'meet' if we all log on one morning and it's not here. Shouldn't we?

Don't talk about it. It can't happen.

If NOBODY succeeds (and I don't think she will), I'm going to start a capaign for the users of this fine website to coutersue. The information on mumsnet is priceless.

Personally, I expect NOBODY has realised by now that she cut off her nose despite her face when she threatened our beloved Mumsnet. Woke a sleeping giant so to speak. And I doubt she will do it again.

I really, really hope it doesn't end up going that far but I seriously doubt I'd bother going elsewhere tbh. I think I'd try to use it as a positive chance to be less reliant on MN.

I think that moving the MN community en masse to another site, no matter how welcoming, would be a big anti-climax. The atmosphere would be v different. After all, the reason we all use MN as our main (if not, only) parenting chat site is because it offers us something better than the others, IYSWIM.

I would hope that MN would reappear in another guise, if the lawyers got their pound of flesh.

I was going to start a thread on this, but didn't want to be doom laden. It's true, we should have somewhere to meet if, this dreadful situation causes, dare I say it, a temporary shutdown.

As Sherlock says 'Phoenix Stylee' So where is a good place to have our revolution, God forbid we have to?

Nemo, it is a possibility I think. I really hope it doesn't happen though, it's been so brilliant for me, I've been here 4 years and have some great friends here.

I hope that never happens.

Ever heard of a phoenix ??

KTeePee · 08/08/2006 07:45

I was actually thinking that in some ways it might be a "good thing" for me personally as I might do something more constructive with my time!

Nemo1977 · 08/08/2006 07:44

www do you seriously think it will close???????????

SecondhandRose · 08/08/2006 07:44

Can't bring myself to post really but I'm sure we'd be directed elsewhere beforehand.
