A Sex Topic for Confidential Sex matters. Grin

Another one who missed Moldies.

I will 'scweam & scweam until I'm sick' if I am not invited to join New Moldies.

Will name changing be allowed OP?

backonthewagon · 20/02/2016 16:28

I have been here 10 years too Gretchen but name change every few months.

I do that typing out a response then deleting it too. A lot. I very rarely start a thread and if I do, I just expect there to be at least 1 poster looking to take a pop or shove in a downer, wherever the thread is and whatever it's about.

I agree springs. Sometimes it can get 2 or so pages in and you think 'ooh this is going really well' than boom! one poster arrives to bring it all down.

LilacSpunkMonkey · 20/02/2016 16:31

Would it not be called Maryznet?

You'd also need HoneyDragon for balding and blueing purposes.

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 16:33

Thanks Maryz I could be Princess Mesnet. Grin

PacificDogwod · 20/02/2016 16:33

MaryZ, no, you'd be The Queen Of MesNet Grin

Can I join?

You've really thought it through too, sock puppets an'all

Talking to yourself has the advantage that somebody is listening, I find.

Christmas is coming Maryz
Please ensure Mesnet has adequate space for all the christmas threads in june

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 16:53

Instant banhammer for any mention of Christmas. Even at Christmas. That would be great.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 20/02/2016 16:55

Sounds blissful Sparkling

magimedi · 20/02/2016 16:56

And Mothers' day, please!

Kewcumber · 20/02/2016 17:06

I think I'd pronounce it MarieszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzNet. Which is right of course.

SauvignonBlanche · 20/02/2016 17:08

I didn't enjoy the original moldies nonsense but I do quite like the sound of Maryz's 'talk to yourselfnet' with sycophantic sock puppets.

I guess you'd ban these Xmas Smile Maryz?

Kewcumber · 20/02/2016 17:08

I thought SEA was a moldie too Confused maybe she was hounded out of moldies and so is trying to drum up support for Son of Daughter of Moldies.

Gruntfuttock · 20/02/2016 17:15

I'm totally confused by this thread, because I have no idea what 'moldies' are. Blush Will some kind person please enlighten me?

magimedi · 20/02/2016 17:19

I wasn't around but they were (back in mists of time) a group of Mumsnetters who got fed up with the place & went off & set up their own site,but it was by invitation only & lots of people got upset..

There's a link to a Daily Fail piece about it earlier in this thread:

www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1102321/Its-exactly-baby-talk-mothers-war-rival-Mumsnet-parenting-forums.html

Kewcumber · 20/02/2016 17:20

About 200 years ago a gang of regular mumsnetters decided they wanted to just hang out with the cool kids and set up another forum which was by invitation only.

Lots of hurt feelings are people were either not invited who thought we in with the cool kids or who were vetoed by some of the coolest kids (not exactly sure how it worked).

Some people were genuinely upset by it as people they thought they were "friendly" with online turned out to be not so friendly after all.

Not sure if there arestill some threads knocking around about it.
