Hi all,
AIBU to feel like not bothering any longer with MN. Have tried on loads of occasions to join in threads but seem to be constantly ignored. Can't decide if this is just a clicky club or just a lot of rude people. I have never been offensive or rude to anyone but do not seem to be able to cross the newbie threshold.

well tbh if uyo have been here a few years and changed name a few times and got as far as ellie35 then er you arent trying very hard on the make myselkf memorable front

Twiglett · 07/10/2008 17:06

if you can point me in the direction of any of your posts that have been particularly helpful, witty or educational I'll be happy to respect you

I've never seen you posting before .. IME people don't read names, they read posts and if something in the post strikes a chord then they respond

LOL tiredemma, it was ages ago, it was just a subject I find hard to talk about and had 'opened up' Don't worry, I can easily be bribed with chocolate

I do kwym, but you do need a bit of a thick skin on here.

I've been ignored on here for years. I'm not joking. Honestly, I'm hardly ever acknowledged.

It's weird cos if it were rl and a roomful of people chatting Id've slunk away by now.

Strangely as it's online, it doesn't bother me (much)

oh God (tries to think of a thread that got 'deep')

Will a bag of minstrels do? I have eaten the Galaxy.

Henceforth, I shall acknowledge you first and foremost.

zippitippitoes · 07/10/2008 17:09

and you are pretty poor on the acknowledgemnet front i havent been noticed yet except by FAQ

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 07/10/2008 17:09

you need to be much more obvious on MN to get people to respond

IMHO

combustiblelemon · 07/10/2008 17:09

'Ellie'sComet'- works best if you've lived up North like me.

'LE35'- personalised number plate version.

DANCESwithLordPottingtonSmythe · 07/10/2008 17:09

too right and that is how it should be. Minstrels fine. Family sized bag of chilled giant chocolate buttons better

Mammina · 07/10/2008 17:09

EVERYONE will recognise you now after this thread ellie35 so I wouldn't bother with another namechange!

zippitippitoes · 07/10/2008 17:11

i wont recognise her because i have a blind spot for name and number nbames

themildmannneredjanitor · 07/10/2008 17:12

can i point out that 'click' is something you do with your fingers.

a clique is an inpenetrable group of people.

fullmoonfiend · 07/10/2008 17:14

themildmannneredjanitor · 07/10/2008 17:15
