Why was this thread deleted? Anyone know! Think I was too invested lol

Was it the one where he was jogging around the park and their eyes 'apparently' locked? Eventually the OP mouthed 'I'm leaving now' .....? That one? I didn't realise it was deleted but found it incredibly cringy just reading it 😬

MN said they've taken it down while they do 'some checks.'

One of the most ridiculous threads I have read in a while. Sounded like a badly written short story from Take A Break or Chat magazine! I was cringing so hard reading it. 😬

Don't know if it will come back or not, but as I type this post, it's definitely been taken down.

I was also wondering what happened to that thread as it was quite entertaining albeit cringey! Are threads ever ‘put back up’ though once they’ve been taken down while Mumsnet ‘take a look’?

I see about one thread per year put back up so I don’t think this is the one unfortunately!

It was a load of old baloney.

I’m sure this thread will be taken down too

PurpleDisco · 24/07/2026 18:26

I actually thought it was real!

Ved · 24/07/2026 18:27

I wonder why it was so long before it was taken down? It was up 2 days wasn't it? I agree that this one will be taken down soon too.

It seemed, I don’t know, a bit far fetched.
