To think that MN is too cliquey for me?

[foxessmelltheirownholes]

I've been on this thing for a month or so, i started off quite enthusiasticly posting all over the place but for the last week or so I've been a 'silent observer', because I've lost heart.

Whenever I've posted either a) post ignored completely. Even if what I've said is echoed by an 'old timer' a few posts later, its the old timer that gets acknowledged not me. End up thinking why do I bother offering advice??
b)Threads die a horrible death

This was really noticable on the 'profile update' thread when I was busy telling everyone how beautiful their kids are etc only to receive "oh, yes thanks for that" but no mention of my beautiful darlings (however no biggie - cos I really don't need reassurance that they are beautiful cos they truly are just stunning!!) However I do think its just common courtesy to respond the compliment.

That said, occasionally I have had some nice responses, to which I've shown gratitude at the time, but sadly they have been very rare.

I just wanted to bring this up so that all you old timers are aware that some of you can be pretty cliquey and please can you start welcoming and acknowledging the newbies a bit more.

I've changed my name, BTW.
MN NEWBIES EVERYWHERE UNITE!!!!

stick with it
it'll get better...
and if MN is pissing you off lay off it for a few days
there'll always be a thread to draw you in and make you forget what pissed you off about it in the first place

we all want to be noticed I guess, but MN is just too big for everyone to get noticed all the time
it's no biggie

FFS not this old chestnut.

My post was directed at the OP by the way.

the clique thread
as inevitable as death and taxes...

thick alert>>>>>>>>>>what does OP mean??

old pensioner

opening post

Well we guessed that Meghalegs

opening post or poster

of course, mehgalegs could have been calling me an old chestnut

ahhh ok.no pensioners in sight then

YOU'RE ALL IGNORING MY POST YOU QUICHERS

'tis not the brightest thread to bump you up the popularity stakes tbh.

But on the bright side at least you namechanged.

Try starting one under your real name, entitled 'Arn't you mn's all fabulous'

lol a lot at mamazon

Tnoog - tenalady. Or mn from on the lav like lapin does.

Daisy I am an arse that's not what I meant, but it does look like that, doesn't it?

That's the tit emoticon.
You're right about the bus - and like every bus, there's someone to tut at and judge, a weirdo, someone dressed for shit, a mad old lady...

Kew - who are you? are you new?

Did anyone hear something? could have sworn I heard a sound, a bit like a Kewcumber bellowing from a long way away?

lol broccolispears

YEs I'm a newbie - YOU HAVE TO BE NICE TO ME, 'tis the new law.

Even if I say nothing of interest.

NOW RESPOND YOU BUGGERS

Yes I do cvq so tell me where I can find a sugar jar and your opinion on my dd first gig.

D'you know who I miss?
SueJonez, she was good.

If you really want to be noticed start one of the following threads:

SAHM v WOHM
FF v Breast

Have a really outlandish view and refuse to see the other side of the argument.

Oo, oo, are we all getting our tits out now - i love these threads.

Mine have seen better days.

I have posted many unacknowledged posts, and killed many threads.
Mumsnet is big, and moves fast. You cant take it personally. As others have said. Just wade in and enjoy!
