To think MN is just the same as it's always been.

[wooooosualsuspect]

Nah.

It were all fields around here it were.

yup. It is.
I was captured in 2005 and one of the first threads I read was about how mumsnet had changed (for the worse of course)

I must be honest, I haven't really seen an awful lot of difference that day to this.

MNHQ delete a bit more readily, that's about it.

Yeah. Never enough hugging

I have only been about for four years, seems much the same. Apart from chat you can read a lot of theold threads anyway to find out for yourself.

Yes. Same shit different day

Well yes...but this week seems to have been a bit mental.
I am not used to seeing so many idiots giving 'advice' on here, maybe it's just me or maybe not

I have been here for 8 years under various names. I think there is a bit less of the mumsnet royalty going on nowadays but I think that is a good thing.

Yup.

Yep 8 years here and it's exactly and reassuringly the same.

I blame the parents.

Hmm. I don't know. On the one hand the 'it's mad on here atm' threads come up as frequently as they ever did. On the other hand I think the level of flaming, hostility and downright aggression towards some posters started when AIBU became a topic in its own right and has increased steadily ever since.

Less cliquey though. But I miss cod!

Yup.

I was first here over 14 years ago :-o My boys have grown up as Mumsnet babies. I have a complete break from time to time, but I always come back when I want advice or shared experience on a particular phase.

In 2000 it was weaning 18 month ds2 off a dummy. In 2014 it's supporting ds1 through uni applications!

why yes - yes it IS YANBU there Usual

yep, same as it ever was

Yanbu...it's pretty consistent in its varied nature.

I seem to recall there was no such place as AIBU when I first joined, people just used to write it in their thread title. Although I might be remembering wrongly.

At any rate, I don't recall the in depth analysis and pulling apart of posters that goes on now, from when I first joined. But I suspect that was more because I used to hang out in the baby threads.... then I went on a long break from about 2005-2010.

In the 4 years since I started posting again I don't think it has changed much.

Nice halloween name, ghosty.

The trolls are crap now a days though.

Every day is Groundhog Day.

Odd trolls lately - a spammer obsessed with FB and a shouty Ocado man ...lamer than a lame duck with extra lameness

been here since 2007, in cunning disgueeses, and the only difference I ever detect is a reticence to engage with me if I've just NC'd - the curse of the newbie, I suppose. But even that has been the case since I joined.

((((Hugs Usual))))

Yes hun, it's exactly the same as it's always been bubs xxxxxxxx

Oh I might report my last post

I've just read it back and I actually want to cut my own tits off now

you know what would make it nicer????

Tickers

that would make it lovely round here

Yes, Active looks pretty much the same everyday.

Smoking is bad thread.
MIL is evil thread.
Benefit claimants are scroungers thread.
Dogs are baaaaaaaad thread.
Cats rule thread.
Seasonal variations , Trick or treating is begging, ban fireworks, My xmas presents were crap etc.

It hasn't changed since I joined a couple of years ago.

It was funnier 10 years ago

Less sanctimony

But I can't bring myself to care all that much
