Genuine observation here, not trying to stir anything. It just seems a lot less cliquey and bum-licky. My replies are recognised and appreciated. I hope newbies feel welcomed and that there isn't some barrier that you have to cross in order to become 'popular'.

Well?

Well, I've been year nearly three years, don't know if that makes me an old timer or not. I have noticed that many über bitches have gone. It's still cliquey but not nearly as much as it was and there are still funny posts, but not quite as many good skirmishes as there were.

not just norty

abusive

Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 18:13

I don't think my knitting comment could have been construed as abusive at all ducky, unless you want to infer that it was. That's what annoys me about MNHQ deleting shit, people can then imply you've said something abusive.

That's why Aloha left all those moons ago.

Maybe I shouldn't ask but I will anyway...
Why isn't this thread showing up on the "Most Active"? I think it is getting a veru large %age of the site traffic today isn't it?

Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 18:17

What's Most Active? I only get Active?

Lulumama · 21/05/2009 18:17

twit, not as regulr, but bar most nights and lissie puts the kettle on most days too

Kathyis6incheshigh · 21/05/2009 18:18

Saltire - thanks v much - will CAT you.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 21/05/2009 18:19

pppst kathy have catted you already mate

Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 18:20

lulu - have you catted me? I'll speak to you later ok?

KingCanuteIAm · 21/05/2009 18:20

Are you on Classic Rhubarb? I am and the only way I get most active is to go to the home page or the main talk page, it is a tab on the disscusions of the day box on the top right of the page. I have no idea how it works on new though.

Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 18:20

Canute, cat me!

Kathyis6incheshigh · 21/05/2009 18:21

Fab, just got it, thanks BoysAre!

IotasCat · 21/05/2009 18:21

did someone say cats?

Meow

MannyMoeAndJack · 21/05/2009 18:22

What about a random number generator that automatically gives each MNer a brand new nickname comprised of a long arbitrary string of alphanumeric characters at the stroke of midnight? What a leveller this could be - posters would either have to continually enlighten others as to their past identities in order to be recognised (so, for example: 'I was formerly 'Zd24HD^(&H+%676sSJHKJ1328dsahjdha98' but am now: '9709sdjgfkdsnKJ(&sdsd23423k243hk2') or they would be forced to start afresh each day, with no easily traceable history or status. It would combat stalkers too!

Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 18:22

Well I thought I was on Classic....

I get Talk: Topics, Unanswered Threads
and Threads: Active, I'm watching, I've started

No Most Active on here.

Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 18:23

Anyone else want a cat?

DuckIsland · 21/05/2009 18:23

so, for instance, is the phrase "fuck off" abusive?

Dumbledoresgirl · 21/05/2009 18:24

What's all this catting? Why is no-one catting me?

Jux · 21/05/2009 18:24

I don't know who's an oldie or who's a newbie. Well, I realised Twig was an oldie when she did the stampyfeetyjumpyupanddowny "you don't miss us enough" nonsense. Until then, I hadn't really noticed anyone had gone. Boy, did that attitude of hers piss me off. So long as no one does that again, MN will be perfect no matter who's on it.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 21/05/2009 18:24

Aren't you going to CAT meeee Rhubarb?

KingCanuteIAm · 21/05/2009 18:25

Can I namechange and ask for CATs, lots of times... so I look popular?

Rhubarb go to the home page and look at the box to the side, not the bar at the top of the page.

Dumbledoresgirl · 21/05/2009 18:25

I am glad you noticed your post had been deleted rhubarb. I have no idea why it was. I cannot think what was offensive about it at all!

Kathyis6incheshigh · 21/05/2009 18:26

I was going to CAT Saltire re Little Lapin's email address - that is all. Nothing sinister.

KingCanuteIAm · 21/05/2009 18:26

Manny, it would also combat all the friendships that form

Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 18:27

ducky dahling, did I tell you to fuck off? Is that what this is about? That my comment about knitting was a code for 'fuck off'?

I'm sure I have told people to fuck off, haven't we all? Perhaps I should have inserted another word in there too? I wonder if my cunts and twats comments on the BNP thread have been deleted? If not, perhaps you could be a dear ducky and report them for me? I don't want any cunts or twats getting offended at being compared to the BNP.
