Fio is by far one of the nicest people on here.

Its a bit meh to be comparing the SN forum to the mouldies one isnt it??????

(cant believe this is all still going on)

Happy New Year Daft punk!

I also think many are back.
Who can resist evesdopping when people are talking about you .
You just have to notice new names noisily defending the position of the Moldies.

I hope most of them docome back though. Once this has blown over. Which it will a lot quicker if people stop posting a)why do you care and b) its just the same as {insert inaccurate comparison of choice}
because a)some do and b) it isn't.

But it will die down at some stage and all will go back to normal.
Especially for those like me who don't really remember names so haven't really joined the dots properly

I doubt it Fairlady because if they are on here they will all know each others new names. I suspect they would not be too bothered about us lot talking to them either.

notnowplease · 06/01/2009 10:02

oo er put your knives back in the drawer!BB you know nothing about me you fool.Why do you care if you have this site which is excellent in itself. Too common?That is your own insecurity have you tried chavnet I've heard its well good innit

FairLadyRantALot · 06/01/2009 10:00

does that mean they might be experiencing how it feels to be a newbie ...

bollockbrain · 06/01/2009 09:59

yes daft - exactly and notnowplease is one of them.

TotalChaos · 06/01/2009 09:59

can we not agree to disagree over the TTR/Moldies comparison and (dreadful phrase) draw a line. I don't like to see SN board posters fighting with each other over MN political stuff, in particular people like Fio and Jurt who have been lovely to me over DS's SN.

daftpunk · 06/01/2009 09:58

notnowplease; no..it isn't just about that...they left because some newbies were too common newbies that didn't give a toss about being involved in a new site...but what is annoying is they left because mn wasn't the place is was, caused loads of trouble..and i'd bet my house are now all back posting under different names...

fishie · 06/01/2009 09:55

peanutbear it (custardo blog) asked for a password but i tried it again a week or so later and it was fine.

sorry custy to be discussing in your absence, seems a bit rude but we are fans you know.

notnowplease · 06/01/2009 09:52

I am far too busy to punctuate!

ABloke · 06/01/2009 09:50

A space after full stop please.

So, are you a mouldies/moldie/mnoldie then.

Pretends to be interested.

notnowplease · 06/01/2009 09:47

Oh dear sour grapes?This thread smacks of schoolground didn't get picked for the team foot stamping.MNoldies is just a group of old style mumsnetters who are doing similar elsewhere.Why do you all care so much?Both sites have their pluses and minuses but all this is about is not being invited to the big do

peanutbear · 06/01/2009 09:42

I cant get on to custys blog anymore !! I tried a couple of months ago and it wouldnt let me

but I did find it hilariously funny

Tiggiwinkle · 06/01/2009 09:40

To answer your point to me fio, I can only speak as a member of TTR (although I have not been on there for a very long time so am not a present member).

With regard to moldies we can obviously only go on things posted by people here who have seen the site and whose opinions of it seem to differ from your own.

bollockbrain · 06/01/2009 09:40

i have formed the opnion that ALL moldies are still about, either lurking or posting under new names.

ClarissimoUsedToBePeachy · 06/01/2009 09:39

Fio I just think whoever posted that (and I really can't remember) was a bit hurt no more.

Jurt I realise that, but the debating thing was a big sticky in the first part of this and to be fair we don't have timelines as to when poeple joined. And that sort of 'myth' will shroud any attempt to move on.

Good luck at work. No car today (and £800 garage bill) so staying put.

Doodle2U · 06/01/2009 09:38

Fio isn't venomous.

ABloke · 06/01/2009 09:35

Who is TTR anyway?

ABloke · 06/01/2009 09:34

Fuck Fio no way are you venomous.

Some people get way too involved in all this crap.

Fio is not venomous though.

Jurt · 06/01/2009 09:33

But people were not debated, oh except supposedly for some brief period, which I never saw (& have been on the thing since the beginning, not that I looked at it much for the first month or so) . This has been said many times. No-one wants to believe it for some reason. There seems to be some sort of idea that this was some co-ordinated attempt to exclude, rather than a rather shambolic effort to get a few long lost people together and make sure that it was never going to be any sort of competition with MN.

Anyway, first day back at work, so reducing online talk time can only be good.

Has anyone been offered membership of Mouldies since this all blew up?

ABloke · 06/01/2009 09:30

Thank you fishie.

So, anyone glad they are gone?

fishie · 06/01/2009 09:29

fishie · 06/01/2009 09:28
