to want to pay a subscription to Mumsnet and thus do without adverts, surveys and Louise Mensch?

[Mintyy]

As per the bbc.

Aibu?

I expect I probably am.

I feel your pain. I do not wish to see Louise Mensch's smug face looking at me unless I specifically go searching for her - which I will never do.

YANBU. That Mensch woman's tipped me over the edge. Itchy teeth.

Possibly. If we have to pay, then the poor among us (including myself) will probably bugger off. Can't afford it.

Nope, I'll stick with the adverts thank you.
Paying would just make MN elitist IMO.

I do appreciate that, sowornout. Perhaps we could have a pay according to means thing?

I don't mind the ad's or the surveys but I could do without Louise Mensch.

I run the mobile site on an iphone or kindle fire. One add at very very very bottomyou never need to see.

MN used to be a subscription site. We didn't pay enough. Justine et al deserve to make a living.

Mumsnet has had it's day. There must be a site with normal people who just want to chat and laugh with out the right on leftie hysteria.

Holly!

So why do you come on it so much then, Holly?

YABU. I have been on here for a couple of years, have only just discovered surveys, have no idea who this Louise woman is, and I couldn't care less about adverts.

KEEP MUMSNET FREE!!!

< sits down next to Malcolm.>

So why do you come on it so much then, Holly?

Simply because I cant find anywhere as fast paced and with a mix of subjects. And because my RL friends also post so we can chew the cud over some threads.

Yes Knee, it's salted

If possible I'd like this thread to remain on topic and not be de-railed by Holly.

When did people pay a subscription Joan and how much was it?

Bit snidey to single out one person for the so called derailment Minty. You may have started the thread, you do not own it.

I'm honestly oblivious to the adverts.
I think a lot of newbies would click on to the site, see they had to pay and not come back.
There's so many other free websites they can go on.

I don't think Holly derailed it. She offered her opinion.

Maybe you should post this in Site Stuff instead.

Fair enough, I'll leave you all to your popcorn.

I'm glad it's free, don't mind the ads

I have to say the thought of a subscription has never occurred to me, but then again I had never read anything by that Menschy lady till this evening ....

You might be on to something OP.

PS is it wrong/shallow to have clicked on her photo to try and get a closer look at the jacket she was wearing? because i thought my DP might like me in it

I don't mind the ads, i hardly notice them and i don't know who louise mench is!

OP, don't go. I am sick of the ads. They are shit and really unamusing and really slow the computer down. I also really dislike the elastoplast one at the top about the rainy summers; It's not funny.

Sorry, too many "really"s.
