Mumsnet offline Thursday night

Mumsnet will be offline tonight, Thursday, from just before 11pm or so. We're doing a few small updates and a bit of housekeeping. It will be off for a while unfortunately, so maybe an early night and check in over your cereal in the morning?

I'm not going to offer MSN updates this time - you'd not believe the story from last time I did that, even if I did tell you, which I won't. The good news is that if it goes badly there will be at least a dozen people to blame. If it goes well I'll be around to take all the credit.

Let's just hope we don't hit the headlines this time.

Great article, Tech! How's the beach today?

NNooooooooooooooooo, this is prime MN time for some of us state-side folk.

Are we talking being down for a couple of hours? Or many hours?

MrsIPwebmasterBBC

I have to admit I have taken my jiggery pokery elsewhere of late. Sorry you have to find out this way. Foreward my legal department if you wish to take further action or go public on Watchdog for all I care.

Being on the job is very important to me, you knew that when you said "I do".

LMAO!

By the way, of course Tech isn't real......he is a brain in a tube that we can hear......like in.....in.....in.....that programme where they used to have a brain in a tube

this could be their lucky night!

In fact, I think it should be mandatory that MN goes offline one night a month so slack assess night owls like me can get an early night

lisalisa · 29/01/2009 14:13

[gullible emoticon] - was that BBC article real? I thought it was until I realised who had posted it - TEch!!!

Brilliant link

psychomum5 · 29/01/2009 13:41

solo....I think it is giving us all hints of how to deal with tech if he goes wrong and fucks this up

solo · 29/01/2009 13:37

So...I can link to Mumsnet. I can link to Guns and Ammo. I can link to The Samaritans...Is this giving me some kind of message? Can't link to anything else!

lol i wonder what people reading the things about mumsnet think, esp with the funny talk names such as

VoodooLULUmama, one unhappy user lol

DottydotsofBloodOnTheFloor

lol
not to mention the hlloween names on the other news article

whats this aabout though?

"In a fashion typical of Internet discussion forums, other members are lashing back against the backlash. One or two of the mums were even said to have commented that they liked all the new features, but they've since retracted their comments for fear of retribution. One of the supports of the changes told the BBC, on condition of anonymity, "I'm worried - last time I tried to fly in the face of the angry mums I had the tyres on my Bugaboo slashed. It just isn't worth the risk. Not these days"

MarsLady · 29/01/2009 12:53

Very good article you hunka burning love! Now what about my classified ads?

MrsIPwebmasterBBC · 29/01/2009 12:21

I don't care if you're right.
I don't care if it's your job.
Showing me up in front of my mates like that.
Bloody typical.

No marital jiggery for a fortnight.
So there.

nannyogg · 29/01/2009 12:15

Very well done indeed.

Lulumama · 29/01/2009 12:10

LilRedWG · 29/01/2009 12:09

PMSL!

LadyMuck · 29/01/2009 11:57

But I'm sure that I've met Tech, the original one that is. So he can't be that Stig-like. He turned up for a MN Christmas bash one year didn't he?

MumHadEnough · 29/01/2009 11:52

I'll chip in 10p for Legal Bills!

beanieb · 29/01/2009 11:48

bugger!

MumHadEnough · 29/01/2009 11:47

Roflmfao, that article was brilliant, you know I actually believe it . I am a bit of a sap for these things actually.

Oh nooooooooooooo I'll need to do my ironing tonight if we're offline, please don't make me do the ironing!

psychomum5 · 29/01/2009 11:42
