Thanks to the huns thread on here I was forced to have a nosy on the dark side and have discovered something rather interesting.....

[NameyMcChanger]

It shows how many views each thread has.

One poor sod on their posting how upset she was because she has no friends had 2438 views yet only 30 replies

I'm glad MN doesn't have that option, t'is the ultimate snub imo

sods*

I hate page views on things but i suppose it is honest ,

Yes, I keep getting that message too Beyond.

Mumsnet does it fairly constantly on and off

I reckon its because there are hundreds of thousands of lurkers clogging up its server or summat like that.

Doesn't MN have way more registered users than ever show up as regular posters, let alone unregistered readers? Or did I imagine reading some large numbers somewhere...

I often read a thread and don't reply - because I don't have anything to add to the conversation that hasn't already been said. If that's lurking, fine, I am a lurker.

Netmums has never gone down on me either. I bought it dinner and everything

I go straight over to netmums when mumsnet stops working, I use it for different things than I use mumsnet for and I really miss the swearing when I'm there sobs

I think the netmums pisstake thing is a bit old now tbh.

It's not that differen from here in many ways.

Yes it's pink and tickery shit, but there are as many well informed women on there and here. Just caters to a different market. Not my cup of tea but I agree with usual that when mumsnet jointedly takes the piss out of netmums we look like arseholes.

Poking cheeky fun at Nethuns = fine.

Ranting and seriously moaning = not fine.

It's ok as a site - I find half decent reviews and listings but it is all rather 'facebook' for my tastes. I never look at chat or discussions threads and I've been scared off my aunty mumsnet.

I think the page view thing is a bit of a gift to trolls as well. If you click on what is clearly a troll thread, you have the option of walking away without feeding. If your page view adds to a counter, the troll will realise that people are reading their crap.

coldwinter your post made me larf. Loving the innuendo. :D

couldn't care less, why would you?

Cold Winter...just :o

I've never had netmums go down on me, but mumsnet does fairly constantly on and off

Yep. Maybe mumsnet is better :)

WhereMyMilk Now how many vouchers of your choice would you trade in for that?!
