I got that ref, ProtogeMoi!

No, not extinct yet. Despite some people trying their best.

:(

Sunnywithshowers · 10/04/2013 15:34

Another meh from me.

ShowOfHands · 10/04/2013 15:37

What did the police say?

DoIgetastickerforthat · 10/04/2013 15:37

There's a bloody headline!

Mumsnet kills Pandas: threads about bumsex and "Leaves; the bastards" have cornered the bears into an evolutionary cul-de-sac as they now only eat bamboo and take it up the wrong'un!

Random talk boards will be the least of our worries once the WWF catches wind of this, OP.

Hypothetical virtual people might be hypothetically taking the virtual piss?? Oh NO - why didn't anyone tell me? Shock

MammaTJ · 11/04/2013 07:39

Actually YABU to post that as a first post. Why would you care(bee) when you are not a user of this site?

You haven't even returned. Where are you? Busy writing your article?

Im not sure I understand why there is a sudden hatred in the media of mumsnet, however as other posters have mentioned we all know of the long running feud with the nethuns and petrolheads and possibly a few others.
I take Mumsnet as I find it, fantastic if you need real advice or just need a chuckle over the attention seeking idiot "journalists" in the Daily Mail. As with any website or walk of life there will always be people who are just vile.
What I object to is been called a nutjob shreaking harpy because I use this site, im as far away from the London, boden wearing stereotype as you can get. I am northern and (shock Horror) engaged to someone forrin!

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 11/04/2013 08:29

don't worry about it, OP. It really doesn't matter.

The people who use mumsnet are the people whose opinion of it matters. What other people using other sites think about a site they don't even use is really not relevant.

who gives a flying fuck!

noblegiraffe · 11/04/2013 09:41

Get your best Sad Faces ready, surely the press will pick this up.

HoHoHoNoYouDont · 11/04/2013 09:42

I need to know which forum it is so I can go and troll Grin

HarrySnotter · 11/04/2013 09:44

Does anyone really care? I mean REALLY care?

IamtheOneandYoni · 11/04/2013 09:44

I wish they would use quotes from other threads sometimes...maybe Hull tourist information could use Mumsnet in their advertising? Grin

NoSnowJustSand · 11/04/2013 09:45

They're just upset that registration is currently closed!

KarmaBitch · 11/04/2013 09:47

Ho, ho, I was thinking the same Grin. If they're slagging off mumsnet they've obviously been for a visit themselves. [Gives them a wave in case they're back and viewing this topic] interesting enough for you?Grin

Morloth · 11/04/2013 09:52

The Internets is serious business.

LagomOchLyckaSwede · 11/04/2013 10:26

I'm devastated.l

So you heard about a thread where people laughed at MN but you don't know if it's real but it MIGHT exist somewhere? I'm devastated.
