Agreed highame. It felt like a load of women in a room having a good chat.

DialSquare that was one of my favourites too. It meanders through with both side splitting fun and good information. Poster names that no longer appear Flowers

How could a thread about absolutely bloody nothing end up being so good. However, it just shows how desperate we were for positive information that we would keep checking in for days. In just a year, we get positive stuff on a regular basis.

Ova, sorry, yes, you're right. My memory is so poor, I was struggling to think of any specific ones.

But maybe best just having a look through myself.

Thanks, Flo, sounds good.

I remember a long and really interesting thread shortly after the 2019 general election, partly about how Labour had lost the plot but also how all the mainstream parties were letting women down. Voices from different political persuasions - pretty sure LangCleg was on it, and also BovaryX whom I haven't seen in ages. Women seeing past their party allegiances to discuss a shared cause. Lord knows where it would sit under the new regime. I'll see if I can find it although I might not be able to look today,

To be honest I'm not sure it's a great idea linking favourite threads for all to see. Maybe better to quietly archive them.

Not meant as a criticism OP.

This one was entertaining!

I've just started a new one about the "Leeds Managed Zone" being dismantled.

I think that's my recent favourite one Smile

The Ocado thread. Not useful, but it filled up so quickly!

YellowFish12 · 17/06/2021 13:22

It seems MN are so far down the rabbit hole which is really upsetting considering this site came about primarily for woman at a time of their life when they were experiencing something very women-centric (giving birth)

YellowFish12 · 17/06/2021 13:21

Shit did anyone have a copy of the screenshots thread??

Thanks, Tanith.

That's a damn shame, Ova. I'd have thought that was a pretty useful and relevant thread for a feminist board. Documentation of threats towrds women. Another good reason to archive useful threads.

Wow really @OvaHere? That’s shocking.

Disgusting really.

OvaHere · 17/06/2021 12:58

I searched the other day for the long running 'Resource thread for TRA screenshots' which was a thread where we documented violent threats made to women on social media. I wanted to add the 'machete' tweet from yesterday aimed at CNA and JK.

I discovered it was deleted, I assume fairly recently. The deletion message says the thread wasn't a "good use of the site".

Masdintle · 17/06/2021 12:58

Blimey just read that thread Tanith. Three and a half years and so much has actually happened. Frightening
