To think MNet has really changed in the past few years...?

and not in a good way. It's become an awful place, really. I'm an ancient m'netter of circa 5 years and remember the days of pirate sex, fighting with other parenting forums etc and Cod's dyslexic ramblings. It was fun back then. Now it's a bitchfest.

i can't believe it....lolatheshowgirl...lol...she seemed so boring..

seeker · 13/06/2009 23:19

It may be weird - but not as weird as the thought of people popping in from 'another place' to get some attention then going away again! The "fings aren't what they used to be" threads appear at such regular intervals that the only explanation I can think of is that there are those who can't bear the idea of being forgotten.

Paranoid? Moi?

Dior · 13/06/2009 23:21

Paranoid - no

Repetitive - yes

So last year - yes

Quattrocento · 13/06/2009 23:21

Was a funny intervention Seeker

Dior - why are you putting your trolldar in a bun? Will it taste nice, do you think?

BoysAreLikeDogs · 13/06/2009 23:21

What Dior said

TwoIfBySea · 13/06/2009 23:22

There aren't as many of those "who is your favourite..." threads, with great long lists of mnetter names that never included mine so naturally I was always a bit miffed by that.

As for the troll, well, as per usual I'm the one looking around going "what? where? whosit?" While the action goes on behind me.

So nothing changes there.

southeastastra · 13/06/2009 23:23

lolas been around for ages, seemed normal to me too.

Dior · 13/06/2009 23:24

Quattro

Of course I meant 'bin' -

pickyvic · 13/06/2009 23:26

ok so im obviously not up on the forum speak but whats a mouldie? (dare i ask!?)

ive migrated over from another forum...been lurking on the special needs bit for a while due to DS and someone who migrated with me said this was much nicer and not censored!

im still learning my way around on MN....its set up is a bit different to the other forum i go on that shall remain nameless but i said hugz hun it might give you a clue....

i was looking to see if there is anywhere just to introduce yourself as a newbie but couldnt find anywhere. ive got 2 DK....autistic lad of 17 doing A levels (again) and NT DD of 11...

and im not a troll, a daily mail reader or any other kind of nutjob (at least i think im not)...!

daftpunk · 13/06/2009 23:28

hi pv....don't ask...honestly..you'll be bored to death..

enjoy mn

FlappyTheBat · 13/06/2009 23:28

please don't ask about the m word, some things are better left in the past.

plus point of lola outing herself, should never get sucked into anymore of her silly baby name threads!

Dior · 13/06/2009 23:28

Welcome Vic. The Moldie thing was 6 months ago and we have all moved on, except Seeker.

Quattrocento · 13/06/2009 23:30

If you hit search for around last Christmas you will find approximately 20,000 posts about it (no exaggeration). You will spend hours reading before concluding it was all a storm in a teacup.

pickyvic · 13/06/2009 23:31

right ill leave that one well alone then!

southeastastra · 13/06/2009 23:33

FlappyTheBat · 13/06/2009 23:36

pickyvic · 13/06/2009 23:36

daftpunk · 13/06/2009 23:38

FlappyTheBat · 13/06/2009 23:40

pickyvic don't worry about your overuse of the !, there are quite a few of us here that do exactly the same and I like to use , used to use quite a bit too until I used on a thread that it could have meant something else!!

welcome btw

southeastastra · 13/06/2009 23:40
