I miss mumsnet as it was!!

[Lightupthefire]

Oh how I miss it when we all had fun, no one was serious, no one was stupid, no one ever did anything I didn't want them to do!! Oh wasn't it wonderful!

My first go round with MN occurred at the time of MouldieGate, ain't nothing light hearted 'bout that fiasco.

I've been here since 2006. I think some of the posters in AIBU are a bit more twattish than in days of yore but in the main, same old, same old. Wait long enough and there'll be a P&C parking thread along in a minute...

sorry op but when was mn like that? I have been here since 2006 and even back there it could be very nasty.
now its just bigger

It's changed an awful lot round here in the past two years. Not for the better neither.

I remember my first ever foray onto MN. Last CENTURY it was.

There was a thread entitled 'Please can I have your PIN number?' which confused me somewhat.
On further investigation it appeared that it was a sarcastic TAAT referencing a supposedly begging poster. Sparks were flying I tells ya.

There do seem to be an alarming volume of over sensitive numpties missing their glittery tickers no doubt these days.

Ok it wasn't last century but it was in the previous decade.

bit like FB then all nice and chummy.....now its a blood bath!

Think I might have been here about three years. Either I'm more aware of trolls/made up threads or there really are more of them about. Partly, I think, when I started reading, everything was new but now I'm jaded and have heard every problem/issue before. I don't watch the news or read a paper so if something big happens, I like that I can hear about it on MN then go to news sites for more information.

I remember when it was all fields round here…..

I have not laughed tear about a thread recently, that much is true.

Extra points for whoever links the oldest thread about how lovely mn was in the olden days .

You can't joke about it OP. The posters fond of throwing accusations of 'humourlessness' around will never get it. Ironically enough

Nah , maybe it's your own fault for picking the wrong threads to read. Also, it's sometimes just more fun on FB and twitter than it used to be back when this was all fields.

I really want to bump them but will be trounced for ZOMBIE

Keep it up, arfarfandarf. You can do better.

I cba.

You probably have, Arf .

I can see it all now.

On the first day justine created mumsnet.
By the seventh day they were all whingeing about it.

They waited till Day 7 ? Nah, Carrie was at it on Day 2. Whinge, whinge, whinge. Justine had to get her drunk on gin just to shut her up.

Then Becca parted the Red Sea and made the Ten Commandments.
