Will you all be paying for Mumsnet Premium?

[WorraLiberty]

I'm not sure yet but I'll probably pay for a month and then see what other features they bring in.

Thread by Justine incase you haven't seen it

YABU = No

YANBU = Yes, I might give it a try

Is mums chat a copy? i'm
confused it looks identical

Looks identical. But has much much better features. Loads more.

And it's free.

that was quick!

Will pop over and have a look

That’s the issue Mumsnet is a jack of all trades. It is easy to copy

It looks like it was put up today?

It is easy to copy, but the issue is attracting enough users. There are lots of smaller forums all round the net. Getting a high volume of users is much harder.

It was put up today. It’s just a spin off from Tattle. I think it’s just an off the shelf forum. With better functionality than MN which is a little strange . I can only think MN costs so much to run because of all the data monitoring for ad purposes behind the scenes. Someone linked to the privacy policy on another thread and I was gobsmacked by all the data they use.

What are you all talking about? I don't see anything about a new forum

Nope - I won't be subscribing. I sometimes offer advice based on my professional expertise (education ).I don't mind doing that as a free service for all who need it.

Maybe if subscription takes off, I can charge MN for my expertise????

@OhCaptain someone mentioned it upthread mum.chat.

I don't know who set it up though.

Tattle set it up.

But who runs Tattle, that is the question...

I hadn't realised they were linked.

This site doesn't actually benefit me in such a way that is worth paying for

Then don't pay. I won't be either but the model of premium whilst the key capabilities remain free is not new or radical. I don't get the outrage at what is a common model although I'd sack the PR advisor who structured the announcements/approach in such a way.

The 100 people will not all be working on the website. If you run a business employing people they won't all be working on your primary product will they?

I'd hazard a guess that a chunk of those people are ring fenced to the redevelopment work and are amongst the more expensive staff whilst not showing any results yet.

Not a chance!!!
No way
Never

Well that must be the ultimate begging thread .

If mn ends up being only paying members, do you think posters will get paid per post for keeping the site alive?

Looking at Tattle just now it’s basically bitching about anybody in the public eye? Or does it have a positive side that I missed?

The new forum has editing, quoting and more for free. It's a forum made from a template. That just says it all. I sad on the Site thread that I'm not paying, and I think the timing of the rollout is awful.

Tattle was set up as a place to discuss influencers but some of the discussions have broadened out and gone 'off topic' so I am not surprised they are providing a new home for people who may be pissed off with this latest move and who want to discuss the same topics that MN hosts. I'm interested to see if it takes off, I think it may do as the functionality is so much better on that site.

I remember "Shit, Fuck, Bollocks"

You start a paid membership with comments like "Bring back xyz" and it'll be even more of a bloody cliquey nightmare than it used to be.

Thanks for the link.

Is it a piss take though? If it’s legit why did they purposely copy MN?
