Some of you will have noticed we've been offline a bit over the last few days for some brief periods. You will be pleased to now that we've increased the size of the hamster wheel and sprinkled some little blue pills in the feed tray and we're hopefully now in much better shape.

Just to put your collective mind at ease - it was not a result of viscous attacks from shadowy corners but rather a mahoosive load of work in the corner of a dusty old data centre stuck alone with flashing lights and that odd clunking noise.

Clearly a few young posters have been a bit upset over the last few days and have had a little dig, but we're going to let that slide. However... we wish it to be known that MN is a lovely place full of vipers well-meaning parents who are smart enough not to provoke hackers, freedom fighters, or geese.

So instead of conspiracy theories and winding up people whose dad's might be bigger than someone else's dads, have a look at this instead [give it a second to load].

(I had a little help... thanks matey!)

It makes all the difference with sound

SG, are you staying a while or has RL got it's hooks in you?

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 20/05/2009 01:03

Oooh! you are clever that lady!

SaintGeorge · 20/05/2009 01:02

With sound

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 20/05/2009 00:59

No idea.

SaintGeorge · 20/05/2009 00:59

It will be copyright issues. Licensed to use on OneTrueMedia (the site the video was made on, watch it on there and you get the music) but not on YouTube.

KingCanuteIAm · 20/05/2009 00:59

Possibly a permission thing? they have been getting on at youtube for that sort of thing recently haven't they?

gigglewitch · 20/05/2009 00:58

we wore it out?
or ....it went offline

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 20/05/2009 00:54

I wonder why the music's gone

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 20/05/2009 00:53

I need to do some real life housework SG and I'm not happy about it.

KingCanuteIAm · 20/05/2009 00:51

They were a few years ago, I wouldn't have said personal no...

I think they would have been about 5 years ago? Possibly a bit more...

SaintGeorge · 20/05/2009 00:47

I don't remember any others.

LGJ did one a couple of years ago and then updated it at the end of last year, that is the one on YouTube.

Then I did the members name one and someone else did a rip off version another.

There were a few personal montages doing the rounds a few years ago, do you mean those?

KingCanuteIAm · 20/05/2009 00:42

Ahh, that is the one I found too StG, it is one of the later ones though isn't it?

I wonder where the early ones have gone to... I suppose they will be in the archives but going on a thread hunt could be a bit of a long trek!

KingCanuteIAm · 20/05/2009 00:40

Well I have just experimented and it does not seem to give my name on a link so I am going to link it on my montage thread and trust that MNtowers will delete it if it all goes wrong

SaintGeorge · 20/05/2009 00:39

Here but YouTube have stripped the audio track off.

SaintGeorge · 20/05/2009 00:38

RL Solo, it sort of took over for a while. But RL is seriously crap at the moment and I need to escape so here I am

Hang on a sec, will see if I can find the youtube one that LGJ did.

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 20/05/2009 00:34

I do King, don't you? I'm sure you can view without one. I can't remember my password on there otherwise I'd sign out and link it for you, but then I'd never get back on there!

KingCanuteIAm · 20/05/2009 00:31

Will do Solo... Do you have a username for Youtube? [thicko emoticon]

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 20/05/2009 00:29

I agree King. The other one is on you tube, but I think if I link it, it comes up with my username. Have a look at 'mumsnet' on there and look at the birds custard one...you might be on that one.

KingCanuteIAm · 20/05/2009 00:25

Yes, mine

I mean, really, I have had enough names, couldn't one of them have made it in?

Is very good StG, I had not seen that one before, you are right Solo, lots of names missing. I suppose it is the nature of a forum, I just wish that thre were not quite so many gone under sad/regretable circumstances.

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 20/05/2009 00:25

Where have you been SG, haven't seen you in an age...

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 20/05/2009 00:24

I know it did ~ I mean I don't know, but I could guess and it was brill ~ still is!

SaintGeorge · 20/05/2009 00:18

Took frickin weeks hours of work that bugger did.

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 20/05/2009 00:13

Makes you realise just how many names are missing

Yeah I think all cured up and clean like a teenager fresh from the GUM clinic.

If it goes offline line again it is just you. Because they hate you. Personally.
