If you don't want to go on MN, can't you just stop going on MN? Why post about it - unless you want people to beg you to stay?

I don't get it.

Another subforum I didn't know about...

LRDtheFeministDragon · 03/01/2013 20:31

Well, I like it.

It's quite nice to know where people have gone and to be able to PM them before they go - otherwise how would you keep in touch?

You can't protect against the few who'll come here for all of two days then leave in a massive strop, but if FC didn't exist they'd only whine all over the normal boards.

PiccadillyCervix · 03/01/2013 20:32

Oh god, I appear to agree with scottishmummy.

People like attention, they want to be begged to stay and to have a soap box to tell others to fuck off

I love Flouncer's Corner, it is my secret pleasure and it naffs me off that not every flouncer posts there. It should be a rule or summat.

mn pleasure, def s&b threads for me
flounders corner is good thing as keeps em in one manageable place

wigglesrock · 03/01/2013 21:01

I don't know why, but some days they're the best reading on MN. "No, don't go" "Please, stay", "Oh all right then, since you all asked so nicely".

scottishmummy · 03/01/2013 21:03

yes they're so needy.they righty I'm off...await pleas of noooo.5min later...ok I'll stay

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 03/01/2013 21:05

Hence why Usual now has a 3. :o

This thread is a bit mean, especially seeing as the only person I have noticed flouncing today posts all the time and if she just left, posters would probably be asking where she went.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/01/2013 21:08

oooh who's flounced today?

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 03/01/2013 21:10

I think the thread was started because of a mention in the thread that went pfft - the OP hadn't heard of FC. I wasn't aware anyone had flounced today.

scottishmummy · 03/01/2013 21:11

flouncers corner is extension of fave mn,test out mn popularity
which is why the fave mn threads generate such consternation
someone always gets hump at the mentions,no shows,also rans

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 03/01/2013 21:12

GlitterKnickaz did. Hadn't seen the deleted thread so assumed this was about the only flounce thread I've seen. Blush Sorry!

AmazingBouncingFerret · 03/01/2013 21:13

I read that as the OP hadn't heard of Father Christmas... Grin

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 03/01/2013 21:13

Oh Sad. No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't about her.

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 03/01/2013 21:14

Arf. EVERYBODY has heard of Father Christmas Grin

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 03/01/2013 21:14

Same! Had to read it a few times before I realised.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 03/01/2013 21:14

I think MNHQ invented flouncers corner to stop all the attention seeking nonsense going on in AIBU and chat.

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 03/01/2013 21:15

Sue I had just read her thread when I spotted this, that's why I thought it was about her.

scottishmummy · 03/01/2013 21:16

that's exactly what happened mnhq made flouncers corner to contain them. and the histrionics

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 03/01/2013 21:17

That's really shit, Schro. Too many good posters being hounded off by the twats.
