Wow these kind of threads are so cringey.

Like the toe curling 'where is everyone? [sad face]' threads. And the 'we're the real mumsnetters from the days when everything was hilarious and non PC and, like, really intelligent and everything'.

Funnily enough these kind of threads have been going on for 10 years since I joined MN. So not sure how far back we have to go for the real deal posters!

GretchenBeckett · 20/02/2016 12:06

I'd like a site with more privacy. I now name change every few posts!

donajimena · 20/02/2016 12:12

Why don't we have another who is your favourite mumsnetter? thread while we are at it. Wink

deregistered · 20/02/2016 12:14

Ha ha yes dona and the obligatory, faux 'I never even notice nickmames'/'mumsnet royalty' is just a myth

MrsJayy · 20/02/2016 12:16

Why do you feel the need to name change every other day genuine question

MrsJayy · 20/02/2016 12:17

Oo favourite mumnsnetter has to be vinegar tits where ever they are I luvs them

GretchenBeckett · 20/02/2016 12:20

mrsjayy because I escaped an abusive marriage and although my ex is now in prison he knows I'm a Mumsnetter and he'll be out of prison one day. I don't want him to ever find me on here and then work out things about my new life.

MrsJayy · 20/02/2016 12:23

Oh Gretchen so sorry to hear that Flowers

Kewcumber · 20/02/2016 12:35

deregistered - but the site is different now to when I was young and it was green fields as far as the eye could see. Mind you, me and thee are probably a tad different now to 10 years ago too so only seems fair to let MN change too these days I can't see well enough to tell whether there are green fields or high rise flats

deregistered if you've been her for 10 years, doesn't that make you Mumsnet Royalty?

Or do you not count because you name change every so often, like lots if long term posters?

Either way, dickish thing to say.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 20/02/2016 15:01

There are two types of mnetter. One type accept it as a forum for everyone, the other type feel its 'theirs' and anyone who doesn't conform is 'ruining it'. I know which one I am.

MrsJayy · 20/02/2016 15:13

I dont get its not what it used to be what did mumsnet used to be ?

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 15:18

I am not sure Mrsjayy. Personally, I know that once I had joined and found my feet I used to start a lot of threads without giving it much thought, and it was great.

Now I don't. I really think about starting a thread and usually don't bother. Even replying to threads- I type, and delete and retype and try and really think about it.

So something must have changed even since 2011.

DayToDayShit · 20/02/2016 15:19

Oh god, that brings back memories. I remember this so well. It was a blinding time, thread upon thread ran. Good times.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 20/02/2016 15:21

Its just bigger now so naturally there are more twats. A secret exclusive 'club' is a childish response to this.

poemontheocean · 20/02/2016 15:23

A non PC exclusive club Grin

ghostyslovesheep · 20/02/2016 15:26

gosh so you want to start a new site populated by people like yourself OP - oh do tell us more Hmm Hmm

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 20/02/2016 15:44

Afternoon y'all.

Was OP pissed and had a mad moment, as it's a rubbish suggestion?, the secret secret club for special folkSmile.

Anyway, I find the 'I've been here donkeys years' posts so picky, who cares how many years we've all been here? It's the name changing goady arses who are the problem regardless how long they've been here.

LaurieFairyCake · 20/02/2016 15:54

It was by invitation

And most of them came back (slightly sheepishly like they had a bad hangover)

It wasn't a great idea and people were genuinely hurt by it

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 16:00

It's the name changing goady arses who are the problem regardless how long they've been here.

Well said.

PacificDogwod · 20/02/2016 16:13

I'd join a non-PC excloosif club, I would Grin

I joined just a few months before the whole Mouldies thing exploded and I just hung around for the rubber necking - it was morbidly fascinating and not v edifying tbh.

I don't get the 'we need a separate corner of the interweb for only us' thing Confused

DioneTheDiabolist · 20/02/2016 16:19

I wasn't here for the original Moldies.Sad I assume I will get an invite to this Moldies2.

Will there be a Sex Topic OP?
