I know you lot are all talking about me( tis me cod) with all the refs to "royalty" so let me have a little say!
Firtsly some people were really nice to me when there was the big to do locally, I got a lot of lovely emails and thanks for that. I know i didnt deserve it and the whole thing was a steep learning curve.
I think i was very badly behaved often on Mn and i think the break did me good. I was often blunt, cross and rude. I am now a poster on both fora and don't see why one needs to be exclusive.
Although you all think I am like Janus at the doors of "moldies" I am merely a poster. And although you all think its horrendously Mn bitching -based they are pretty strict about it.( much to my occasional annoyance )
When i had my break I would peruse Mn and feel very hurt by the ENDLESS stream of veiled (and not so veiled) criticism of me. I am sure a lot of you think it serves me right and hey thats ok to think that. But just to let you know that it hurts sometimes.
I think Mn is great. I do think there is less arch and dry wit. I think there is a major preoccupation with sex. That is up to you lot to decide if it is good or not. Moldies has a very different vibe to it that I also like. Its intimate, people use names, adn people KNOW each other. That is lost on here, but Justine and team have created a finanically viable and successful site. (Who remembers when it was really hard up?!)SO I dont think you can haev one without the other.
I did notice while i was off that the more the people are pleased that the MN royalty( aka prolific posters) are gone, the more they step into the breach..... Intersting eh?
anyway- am off to change name, I like to be non traceable - excpet for the Mner keeping a record of my name changes..... I know who you are..
toodlepip!
