To think MN is odd at the moment

This is not a "good old days" thread, because I think MN has been pretty good very recently, and in fact the school run thread in AIBU us everything I want in a thread.

But MN recently has been full of (and I am guilty of some of this myself):

  • People wingeing about how MN isn't what it used to be
  • People bitching about other posters
  • People wingeing about the moderation
  • People wingeing about the lack of moderation
  • People asserting that MN is a business, as though somehow this is an investment they have made Confused

Why now and when will it all go back to "normal" (whatever that may be)

That's a great idea!!! Start a thread in Site Stuff requesting it!!!!

ronshar · 24/06/2011 21:37

wimpybar · 24/06/2011 21:38

maybe hiding a poster would be better

SinicalSal · 24/06/2011 21:39

StealthPolarBear · 24/06/2011 21:42

ronshar · 24/06/2011 21:44

SPB it will be tickers next I tell thee.

Tee2072 · 24/06/2011 21:45

I have no problems with hugs or tickers, personally. Although the tickers don't have to be sprarkly or tell me when your next going to ovulate and baby dance!!

ronshar · 24/06/2011 21:47

Tee2072 · 24/06/2011 21:48

I actually wouldn't mind some sort of signature here on MN. Maybe a personal quote or something. I find those interesting on other boards I read.

Shoesytwoesy · 24/06/2011 21:48

op your not wrong.
never really got the moaning about mn threads, if you don't like it, go away, we all have times when we think it is shit or it gets to much,so you take a break. easy peasey

SinicalSal · 24/06/2011 21:53

I saw a good sig quote on another forum.

Simply

you are wrong

  • People wingeing about how MN isn't what it used to be
'twas ever thus (after some initiation period, obv) - People bitching about other posters 'twas ever thus
  • People wingeing about the moderation
'twas ever thus
  • People wingeing about the lack of moderation
'twas ever thus
  • People asserting that MN is a business, as though somehow this is an investment they have made
well, that's a new one on me...but not something I've observed

and add
'People wondering when will it all go back to "normal"

PelvicFloor0fSteel · 24/06/2011 21:54

I do think photos/signatures make it easier to keep track of who's who... I'm just not sure if it's a good thing or not.

Tee2072 · 24/06/2011 21:55

That's the thing PF0S, I usually can't remember user names but I always remember sigs!! On sites that have them, obviously.

I mean, I have to actually remember people's names! Oh the trauma!!

StealthPolarBear · 25/06/2011 21:59

Grimma, maybe it's all of them together then. Or maybe it's me. I ahve been here since 2006 and this is the most depressing I have ever seen MN.
