to think that, however well intentioned, favourite MNer threads can reinforce the clique-y image some have of MN and

[MardyBra]

be hurtful to anyone left out.

And unfortunately, because of the large numbers of MNers, there are inevitably going to be lots of lovely lovely posters who don't get a mention. (btw, I would love to have a with all those who kindly mentioned me, annd loads more too).

Chaos c

Oops butter fingers.

Chaos complaining about typos? Oh, the irony!

Chaos I've been looking for you. There is a thread for you on here somewhere. Hang on, I'll bump it for you.

I always check to see if I've been mentioned . And I never have been. But I can't help myself.

Actually I think my arse is lucky that I stay away from those Friday night bumsex threads.

In fact, sometimes when I'm really bored I do an advanced search on my name (for keywords, not 'posted by'), to see if anyone's mentioned me anywhere. I am that self-obsessed.

And you all probably think less of me for admitting that. But I'm in a candid kind of mood.

Don't give a toss not to be mentioned. My only concern with them is that some debates on threads become a bit skewed when one of the populars/cliquey lot get on board and then all the others start agreeing with said popular one. Just because.

That's the thing MissP, there are loads of MNers like yourself that I recognise and think are lovely. But there are bloody dozens of them. I wouldn't know where to start.

Really I object to them because they are so so naff.

Please nobody do another one, I would have to consign Mumsnet to the Pit Of Internet Naffness, along with hugz and tickers.

MrsPenteuth - I didn't know that was possible! Now I'm tempted. Although I know the answer will be 0.

wasn't mentioned once on the "MNers you want to meet thread" and could honestly not care in the slightest.

It's a big site...

I can't see why anyone would be bothered.

YANBU...I think those threads are very childish.

I have done that too when bored MissPenteuth, or if I have been away for a while. I bet most people have if they are honest.

I don't read them or post on them. I think most people on the site don't care and there are maybe 60-100 people who post a lot and are interested in those threads.

MissP, I didn't know you could do that and just tried I can't believe I posted on so many threads.

It's true,OP, though that's not the intention at all.

Am slightly pissed off not to be mentioned despite putting in the hours

I love you all

mardy what a kind person. I seem to revert to childlike state on mumsnet where the 'big girls' are all friends and no one wants to talk to me even though I know its complete nonsense and some folk have been around ages and are very funny so are obviously well known to each other. but I can really understand that when you are hoping for a response or a mention that its disappointing to some, especially those who have tried very hard to get noticed. (not me btw, I am happy just posting away in the hope it helps sometimes)

I never list other people, well except occasionally hully, because many many of the people I like on mn are people I just come across and I have the shittest memory.
And your name gets remembered often if you are on here a lot, don't name change much and actually post a lot. It is often way more to do with familiarity than with popularity.

And having been on here fucking years, I think the threads pop up every now and again as a kind of reassurance thing. So if there have Bern a loads of trolls or some really nasty threads then people just seek out that which feels familiar.
I don't think it is much more than that.

I hate my memory though. It sucks. I was talking with a poster a few weeks ago who had lost her wedding ring and I want to ask if she had found it but damned if I can remember her name. Twit.

Cripes I am never disappointed and never expect to be mentioned!!

Well, that was nice. Just did the Advanced Search thing and it was all:

"thanks Jamie"
"I agree with Jamie"

lovely.

I feel much better now

I was even ignored on the first nobdies thread .

Am I the only weirdo that, if I want to meet an MNer in RL, I will go to a meet-up where they will be or just message them and ask if they want to meet up?
