To think will not bother with MN any longer

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.

combustiblelemon, your name gives me grief as i keep reading it as melon. Which is equally oblique. But wrong!

zippitippitoes · 07/10/2008 17:16

oh i have posted click before assumed people knew i knew it was actually clique

Mammina · 07/10/2008 17:16

how about bloodyellietscliqueyonMN

zippitippitoes · 07/10/2008 17:17

anyway not sure click with everyone except ellie 35 is likely

combustiblelemon · 07/10/2008 17:17

When I accidently deleted my profile I was a combustiblemelon for a while, until BigTech unlocked my lemon name. Hardly anyone noticed!

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 07/10/2008 17:18

zippie....wooohooo re the interview

BitOfFungusthebogeyman · 07/10/2008 17:18

I always notice Tsar Chasm, because of the clever name...I just never said hello before, so

This is my halloween name, and now I'm afraid no-one will recognise me, because I am irrationally pleased when anyone notices me on here, even when it's Tony Parsons being vile and sarcastic...

zippitippitoes · 07/10/2008 17:19

thank you

combustiblelemon · 07/10/2008 17:19

No Zippi, unless... You're not Tony Parsons are you Ellie?

CharleeInChains · 07/10/2008 17:19

Wow! are the fruity threads still going?

I wanna join if they are!!!!!!

I do love to be called perky! especially when i wake up looking like death warmed up!

ellie35 · 07/10/2008 17:20

no, 109 posts and couting. I certainly found a subject to get you all going. Maybe it was the click... oops sorry clique comment!!

what about NotaClicker

combustiblelemon · 07/10/2008 17:22

Part cry for help, part flounce with something to feed the pedants? A winner every time Ellie

Frightattendent · 07/10/2008 17:22

It depends how you approach the beast I think...

I started on here when I really, really needed help. So I stuck with it out of need and because people were so funny/kind/helpful/intelligent.

I then found posts where I could be helpful, or thought I was being anyway and had a few rows and made a lot of mistakes. I sent things to some people and bought and sold as well...got lots of help and gave some back.

I don;t think I;m that interesting or clever at anything but I know I have put a lot of soul into it, you know, getting really involved personally on a few issues and taken on some of the burden I hope (well I really try to anyway)

People started to recognise me after a while which was a wonderful feeling but it wasn't the sole aim iyswim, I just needed to be here so I was. It goes both ways.

I don't think I rank among the heavies yet but that obv takes a lot more input than I've been able to give, some of us ahve been here years, done massive amounts of work behind the scenes, been tremendously wonderful to others in need...they are the ones everyone knows.

Apart from Kerrymum who is just completely barking,

Joke btw!

zippitippitoes · 07/10/2008 17:22

oh if all else fails then these threads always attract lazy posters as you dont need any specialist knowledge to post and all your mates post on them saying there is no such thing as a click and they always get personally ignored

ellie35 · 07/10/2008 17:23

i meant counting.. please dont pick me up on my spelling it was a typo!!!

SheikYerbouti · 07/10/2008 17:25

I get ignored all of the time - I have been known to kill many threads with my inane ramblings and pointless observations. I am not in "The Clique" or whatever it is.

However, I carry on regardless.

Now I have posted on here, this thread will self destruct in 5 seconds.

I thank you

Frightattendent · 07/10/2008 17:25

Bloody hell I got a bit emotionally involved there

sorry..

frogs · 07/10/2008 17:26

I've always liked your name, Sheik.

Frightattendent · 07/10/2008 17:26

Try hardr Ellie. If you hd written Cunting it would have ensured you a place in all our hearts

combustiblelemon · 07/10/2008 17:26

I do have nothing else to do specialist knowledge

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 07/10/2008 17:26

ellie, I think you still need to name change.

you need one with pizzazz

pushchair · 07/10/2008 17:27

Early posting can be lonely because you are not used to the hurly burly and the number of threads I have killed! However I reiterate the comment that you must keep going and just post away. I am a newbie but a goodie.

Frightattendent · 07/10/2008 17:27

Yes call yourself 109postsandcunting.
