Tattle Life rebrand

204 replies

Crap forum Tattle Life has changed overnight into 8Cafe.

8Cafe

Hate Cafe

Geddit?!

Nothing says 'I have nothing to hide' quite like changing the whole name and domain of your website.

The man who hides behind this pathetic hate forum (who Olivia Attwood met in real life and described as ugly...exactly what you think a troll would look like) needs to be put in prison for what he has done.

His website has caused at least one suicide that I know of. If he is so proud of it, he should be out there in public giving interviews about it.

I used to love tattle, it really opened my eyes to the nonsense going on behind the scenes of family vloggers, I was addicted to those videos back in the day.

Why did they change the name? Did Tatler have anything to do with it?

hopeishere · 21/01/2025 12:26

I thought it was a woman who ran it?

Some threads do highlight the absolute grifting that's goes on with influencers.

DappledThings · 21/01/2025 12:27

I love the threads about anti-vaxxers and related grifters. They do a great job of showing these people up for the idiots and charlatans they are.

lilacsatin · 21/01/2025 12:35

Weird thread. It's still there as Tattle Life. Thought it was run by a woman, also.

Sarah2891 · 21/01/2025 12:37

If you look up the domain name info the registrar is Epik, the company known for hosting far right sites.
Was it always this way or do they have new owners?

Oh, no, it isn't suddenly. How odd.

DerekFaker · 21/01/2025 12:49

Why do people care so much about that forum? There seems to be a thread a week on it! If it's terrible, maybe stop giving it publicity.

I haven’t posted on Tattle for almost a year but still lurk occasionally. Logged in this morning and it immediately took me to 8 Cafe and had a notification from a mod to a post “explaining” what was happening. Something about certain threads being locked to allow more people to sign up. I deleted my account there and then as something felt off.

I agree that influencers are grifters and should be held to account (the off topic section is also fine) but anyone who claims that this is the primary focus of Tattle users is being disingenuous. Some of these people spend their life tracking every move on influencers or celebrities they hate. There’s been utterly vile things said about children because their mother or father happens to be someone they don’t like. Some of the most hateful insults I’ve ever seen and even wishing death on people.

Some will claim that any posts like the above are reported and deleted but they’re not. Most threads like this are a hive mind where posters feed off each other’s venom to the point where just everyone loses the absolute run of themselves. It could be a space for holding grabby grifters to account but the unhinged lunacy that’s allowed to go unchecked undermines any of that for me.

Afaik it was two sisters who started it and one of their boyfriends runs it from their house. Olivia Attwood on her show tracked them down and doorstepped them, that's when she said how ugly and literally troll-like the guy is.

Thankfully, OP is monitoring the site closely on everyone's behalf, given that she/he/they knew of the rebrand within c12 hours and was able to rush over here to give a warning.

I think OP's description of the owner, however, rather devalues the concern given that she/he/they is doing exactly the same as the people she/he/they is criticising on Tattle/8.Cafe by making that statement.

HeffalumpsAndWoozlesAreHoneyRobbingTwats · 21/01/2025 13:16

Oh ma gawd, brace yourself...

FoxtonFoxton · 21/01/2025 13:21

I don't use Tattle as a member, but I do watch a thread/s about a particularly toxic "family vlogger" family who, in my opinion, display extremely worrying behaviour. 95% of what it posted is articulate and accurate. I don't doubt that a LOT of it is problematic, but I've seen worse on here. I hope that highlighting some of the shit put online by certain influencers and vloggers, it might help stop them. Particularly when it comes to making money from putting their kids entire life online.

TheBunyip · 21/01/2025 13:21

Can someone pls clarify the rules about who we can call ugly? TIA

unlikelywitch · 21/01/2025 13:24

I suspect the OP is affiliated with Tattle and is looking to drum up interest now that they’re accepting new members. One of the main mods on there is called Yel.

There are no rules, it's common decency not to judge someone on their looks.

The OP is slating posters on the other forum for labelling (mainly) influencers with disparaging descriptions, yet has no problem referring to the owner (it's not a man who owns the site btw) as ugly.

Registration is open, incidentally, no more begging for codes 😉

TheBunyip · 21/01/2025 13:29

Also isn’t it interesting how one website can rebrand overnight and its users are “oh it’s changed, cool, anyway did you see the traitors last night?” And when MN makes a minute tweak to the font users lose their minds, shake and cry, log it with 101 and self refer for talking therapy?

BlueberryShortcakePixie · 21/01/2025 13:33

I love a bit of Tattle, the new name is shite though.

Beyondbeliefsometimes · 21/01/2025 13:37

Do any of you have a registration code?

KNEW IT. They were on the troll saying it was open.

Sorry? What do you mean? It sounds like some of the people on this thread use it. I've been trying to get on for ages, and asked for a code. Jesus must be hard to live on some of your worlds, everyone always out to get you lol

If anyone has a code, I'd be grateful thanks

Don't know what the 8.whatever is about but I want to get onto the gaa catfish page

usernother · 21/01/2025 13:48

@CarliLove35 it's still asking for a code on the registration page.

Newyearnewmewoooop · 21/01/2025 13:58

I didn’t know there was a suicide because of it, is that true?!

LoafofSellotape · 21/01/2025 14:03

lilacsatin · 21/01/2025 12:35

When you go to log in it's takes you to the new name/site.

Lanawashington · 21/01/2025 14:09

They haven't opened registration, you still need a code. They have just opened parts of the forum that were restricted to new users, eg you couldn't post on tiktok forums if you'd joined after a certain date. But now everyone can comment on it. So the code begging threads will continue

EasternStandard · 21/01/2025 14:14

I don't read it / go on there but agree the old name was better

Wonder why they changed it
