To hate the cliquey vomit-inducing threads on MN?

Because they put me right off the whole of MN Sad.

Maybe it's because I don't generally use MN for 'chatting'; more for getting advice and opinions on parenting issues, health issues, etc (have namechanged btw as am a longstanding and cowardly MNer). But I do click on 'most active' when I come on here to see what's going on, and the clique arse-kissing and 'in' jokes between some MNers make me cringe and really put me off the site. It's like the school playground mum cliques but worse - because at least there the people really do know each other.

And yes I know threads about a thread are against MN rules blah blah but I wanted to moan about and am happy to be slated for doing so - so there Grin

I just think some MNers should get over themselves and go off and start a new 'love-in' site somewhere else. The End.

I find it helpful to put who I was when I name change in the bit about me.

I wouldn't fuck a duck.
They do massive shits and it alarms me

Pinot - could you just pm me everytime there is a name change. That wouldn't be too onerous would it?

Pubic Health Warning

Vinegar is not effective in preventing the transmission of duck bourne diseases.

The best autocorrects are when someone ends up puttin in a link to 'humungouscocks.com'. It might be Apple, but are you ever going to look at them quite the same way again?

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 08/09/2011 13:52

Yes, Hully you were quite severely reprimanded. I laughed. Hard. Hard as a Duck laughs.

Hmmmm, OK. Haven't read through the last eighteen pages but here's my penny's worth...

I've recently joined in on two "cliquey" threads after posting here for a year and a half. Before I got involved on these two threads, I had noticed other people's clique threads and not really been bothered by them. The threads that I post on aren't exclusive and anyone is welcome to join in. It's just a place for people with a similar humour to chat to one another. No snobbery or elitism involved as far as I can see. It saves us derailing threads when we see other posters that we've got to "know" if we have a designated thread where we can chat.

I just see a forum as an extension of real life. You will come across a section of people that you gel with and you will want to "meet" with them to chat and that. It's nice. It's not like we're meeting up online to be utter barstards. We're just sitting in the corner, telling jokes and talking about pubes. No harm done. Funnily enough, I still am able to use MN for advice. I don't feel excluded from advice-gathering/giving just because I've found some internet people that I like.

I think the moaners have done the very thing other's were suggesting. Hiding threads and ignoring all the ducks apples wanking ear fucking

CaptainNancy · 08/09/2011 13:54
