to be getting fed up with people who want to change MN to be more like other sites?

[Sickofsquashingfrogs]

So far in the last few months there have been a number of requests for changes that would make mn more like other sites and less like mn

This is mn:
No tickers
No signing off
no like/dislike button etc

If you make all the changes that have been suggested then mn wouldnt be mn. it would lose part of the ruggardness about it. it would become threads of like/dislike but no real discussion.

eg AIBU: like 21 dislike 12. less effort needed to post, less likely that people in a hurry would bother to make the effort.

PLease few free to enjoy the site but try no to change the mn esscence. simple to the point no fancy ability to connect with thousands of witty smart women and the brave men folk amongst us. Who are more then capable of making their feelings know without tweeness and all singing dancing buttons.

Although I'm quite new round here, I love the layout - it does what it says on the tin and is uncluttered and extremely entertaining. I LOVE the idea of a cats bum mouth/face and vom emoticon! Inspired. And possibly a shagtastic one (for mentions of David Tennant and Richard Armitage )

Oh and SuePurblybilt - your name if fab-u-lous!

surely this is how Mumsnet would do tickers and so on

ooo a classic must read tomo need sleep.
