To think MN is going to the dogs?

There is so much trolling, bitching and nastiness on here at the moment!

Am I wearing rose tinted glasses, because I don't remember MN being this bad, ever.

AIBU to think things seem to have gone downhill?

I have never spat tea over my keyboard as of yet, but I dream of the day Grin

the US bridezilla thread is still live, so no troll call yet :)

Saying Mumsnet used to be better/funnier is a bit like saying summers used to be hotter, it's because you only remember the exceptional stuff. We wouldn't remember the average summers of our childhood but the long hot ones stick in the mind.
Same with Mumsnet, we only remember the good stuff, we forget the crap that was written. Believe me there was a lot of it. I don't think it's gone down hill, changed maybe but it's not worse.

Hope I'm making some sense....it's been a long day Grin

Sparklingbrook · 26/02/2015 21:20

I imagine there is more spitting of tea over keyboards for 'WTF' reasons than amusing ones lately.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 26/02/2015 21:20

Gosh 2011 - it seems only yesterday. Nice of you to do lovely link especially for any newbies puds Thanks

Sparklingbrook · 26/02/2015 21:20

I remember loads of the crap. Blush

BankWadger · 26/02/2015 21:21

nickelbarapasaurus I thought that was you! Haven't seen you in ages, then saw a different definitely not you nickel last week, now I keep seeing you everywhere Grin Only you'll have no idea who I am because I've name changed since we last talked. Viroid Wink

WineCowboy · 26/02/2015 21:22

I am so stupid, I never spot the troll threads until I've nobbed on about how to help them and then it's gone and I feel like a right twat

Something made me laugh out loud the other day, first time for ages but I still think MN is funny and also massively supportive where it needs to be.

youthecat I am gagging for a beer now you have mentioned it but school night for me too!

Hurry the fuck up Friday.

ouryve · 26/02/2015 21:23

You mostly post in AIBU, so it's not like you're going to see much of any other side of MN, OP.

Besides, it is what you make it.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 26/02/2015 21:24

Durham it makes total sense, and I'm sure there has always been crap on here, but the hilarious threads outweighed that whereas now I rarely find myself laughing Sad

No problem Juggling Smile Cutted up pear should be mandatory reading Grin

Bank - i've even got my own "sorry i've been away on facebook " thread

who was impersonating me last week????? ShockShockShock

and yes, you're seeing me everywhere because i've made a concerted effort to make up for the time i've been away.
you can blame the shop - when i closed, i didn't have as much time to sit around MNing as i did before while i had no customers Blush
(and the mobile site just wasn't as much fun - I've got a new laptop now, partially paid for with my MN secret santa pressie Grin, so i can MN properly whilst pretending to look after DD)

usualsuspect333 · 26/02/2015 21:26

I'm having a pre Friday drink.

Sparklingbrook · 26/02/2015 21:27

I think quite a few people never venture out of AIBU.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 26/02/2015 21:27

Do I ouryve I didn't even know that!

JugglingFromHereToThere · 26/02/2015 21:27

See you still get a classic MN post like WineCowboys - where else would you read that on a Thursday night? Huh? Smile

nickelbarapasaurus · 26/02/2015 21:28

my hoverer is wrong Blush

it was "nickelbabe geddit" because i had "nickeljrismybabesitter" but i forgot to change it to reflect my dinosaur name.
must do tht now.....

Lweji · 26/02/2015 21:28

You guys clearly haven't been on the dinosaurs never existed thread. Probably a troll, or a WUM, but so funny.
Or the NAR threads.

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 26/02/2015 21:28

I am also usual Grin

I read AIBU, chat, feminist chat, style and relationships mostly. Am I missing somewhere obvious where the fun threads are?

OP posts:
OttiliaVonBCup · 26/02/2015 21:29

I'm on my third.
Drink that is.

Two dogs.
Three drinks.

Is it me or is Death in Paradise gone to the dogs too?

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 26/02/2015 21:30

Whats a WUM?

I read some of NAR thread.

OP posts:
BuzzardBird · 26/02/2015 21:30

This too will pass. They will get bored soon. :)

Lweji · 26/02/2015 21:30

Wind up merchant.

Koalafications · 26/02/2015 21:31

AIBU is the most miserable board.

It's a conveyor belt of, Bridezilla, P&C parking, Dogs are evil, This child was badly behaved threads, benefits bashing, and fat shaming threads.

Rarely anything new.

Koalafications · 26/02/2015 21:32

I read NAR, didn't find it that funny. Too much of the thread was taken up with place marking and 'any update, OP?'

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 26/02/2015 21:33

Who will Buzzard?

Thanks Lweji literally just got your username

Koala I know. I need to stop going on there. If I read another SAHM vs. WM thread I will scream!
